Asus manufactured the Nexus 7s (both models) for Google so the ZenPad are pretty much on parr. If you want a super-sweet model they make the S8 with a 2.3 Ghz Intel Atom & 64 GB RAM for $279. Only available in black at the moment. The S8 models have the same display resolution as a Retina iPad.
these were the others I was looking at. Really like the asus . I have a desktop I built with the Asus mother board and just got the asus ultabook laptop. The zen pads are suppose to be the upscale of the nexus 7
