Its internal working is carried out under the supervision of the VIA WM8950 CPU that clocks in a maximum speed of 1GHz, while the device’s ability to reproduce visuals with decent graphics can be attributed to the integrated Mali-400 GPU. There’s 1GB of RAM to assist the processor with the task of maintaining smooth multitasking and navigation. It ships with 16GB of onboard storage that can be increased further by inserting a microSD card of up to 32GB capacity into the dedicated expansion slot.
The slab’s front side is dominated by a 10-point LED-backlit capacitive display that provides a multi-touch real estate of 7 inches. It boasts of 1024 x 600p resolution, a wide viewing angle of 140 degrees as well as 350nit brightness to reproduce clear images in brightly lit conditions too. Featuring Asus SonicMaster and MaxxAudio, the tablet in question has been pre-loaded with multiple applications including Asus Studio, WebStorage Office, BuddyBuzz, SuperNote Lite and more.
Moreover, the Android slab also tags along 5GB cloud memory via Asus WebStorage.

The Wi-Fi-certified device sports a microUSB port, a microphone and a 3.5mm headset jack and coughs up the juice for usage time of close to 7 hours, thanks to a 4270mAh lithium-polymer battery.
