Asus bakes 1080p into its new 7-inch Memo Pad 7 Android tablet at IFA 2014

By Konrad Krawczyk Published September 3, 2014

Asus is launching a new 7-inch tablet, and its called the Memo Pad 7.

The Asus Memo Pad 7 runs on a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3560 quad-core processor, and wears a 7-inch 1080p IPS display. The front wears a 2-megapixel camera, while a 5-megapixel shooter is perched on the its back panel.

The Memo Pad 7 packs SonicMaster speakers, so it can provide a better listening experience than most 7-inch tablets. Asus will offer versions of the Memo Pad 7 that can connect to the Internet via LTE, or Wi-Fi, though it’s unclear which carriers will be compatible, or whether it will sport 802.11ac or 802.11n connectivity.

Weighing 0.59 pounds and measuring 8.3 mm thin, the Asus Memo Pad 7 puts as much of an effort into its external appearance as it does into its internal prowess. Asus designed the Memo Pad 7 to resemble classy pocketbooks, and the company is offering it with colors like Burgundy Red, Champagne Gold, and Gentle Black to complete the look.

It’s unclear what version of Android the Memo Pad 7 will run, but it will ship with ZenUI interface built in.

Pricing and availability information for the Asus Memo Pad 7 are currently unavailable.

I love this over-the-top charger that’s a Cyber Week bargain

The front of the Anker Prime 250W Charging Station.

Everything about the Anker Prime 250W Charging Station is overkill, and that makes it the ideal Cyber Week 2024 deal. It gets you an over-the-top charging station for a wide variety of gadgets at a far more sensible price than usual.

I’ve been using the chunky charging dock for a few months, and it has probably all the charging ability most people will ever need.
A much more reasonable price

Anker makes my favorite iPhone 16 power bank, and it’s on sale for Cyber Week

Anker Nano 3-in-1 10,000mAh portable power bank for iPhone.

One of the essentials in any bag these days is a battery pack for your smartphone, whether that’s an iPhone or an Android phone. But have you ever forgotten to charge your battery pack because it needs a cable? Thankfully, Anker has a fantastic external battery pack that you can plug directly into a wall outlet, and it has its own integrated cable for charging other devices.

For Cyber Week, Amazon has the Anker Nano 3-in-1 Portable 10,000mAh Power Bank for just $36, 20% off the normal $45 price. I have one of these, and it’s an everyday essential in my bags for charging my iPhone 16 Pro.

I love this easily repairable phone at a decent Cyber Week price

The back of the HMD Skyline.

It’s rare to find a smartphone that has a unique feature these days, and especially one that’s available at a bargain price. The HMD Skyline happens to tick both those boxes with its genuinely simple repairability and sizable discount on its normal price in Amazon’s Cyber Week deal.

Normally $500, the HMD Skyline is $475 through Amazon right now, and not only is it an unlocked phone ready for use with the AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, and Tracfone networks but the price also applies to the three different color variations. This is important because although you could choose the basic black version, you should go for the far more eye-catching Blue Topaz or Neon Pink model.
