I have seen the xperia Z tablet yesterday with price RM1499 at Time Square Sony Centre .I think that is the wifi only tablet .

1. Brand. Non-mainstream brand
2. Budget. Below 500
3. Specs. Priority on performance and screen, can ignore the camera. 7" or 8" also acceptable but must be reliable.
4. What you need in the tablet. Casual browsing/light gaming/youtube-ing/Email/FB/Movie on plane

  - ARM Cortex-A9 fimily CPU, Single CPU frequency is up to 1.3GHz.
- Supporting VFP v4(Vector Floating Point v4) architecture and compliant with the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point calculation

The optional Cortex-A5 FPU is an implementation of the ARM Vector Floating Point v4 architecture,

But Asus quality is really top notch. I has a Asus notebook back home, i think ~3 years old, no issues.

What's your thoughts on the Memopad HD7?

Havent actually launched yet

But I think it might have a potential, as it should be hovering around the RM450 - 500 mark. Besides, the specs are also quite gooding....

Taiwan already selling.... HD7 16GB for ~RM600.

How this compares to Nexus 7?

Usd 275?

Yup, that's the one....

Xperia Tablet Z - Wi-Fi only edition already out quite some times. I already hands on it at one of the Sony Center at 18/Jun, and purchase it on 28/Jun and I am really happy own it.

Here is my short review:

But actually the difference between the WiFi only edition vs WiFi+LTE edition is one got LTE and the other no LTE.

Am I correct?

Any other differences in specs except on the above?

So for my Vido N80RK, here's some pro and con.

Pro
- Excellent value for money. I mean, for RM450, where else can u get a quad core tablet, with 2GB of RAM, IPS display with 16GB of storage, dual cameras + android 4.1?
- Display size is good for webpage browsing (compared to a 7 inch la), as well as e-book reading.
- Relatively smooth.
- Plays games quite well, thanks to the Mali-400 GPU
- Good app compatibility
- Very high score in Antutu (~17000+)
- The 2GB RAM ensures you can multitask without any issues. I can browse the net, with a few tabs open, play a few games, jump back to browser where is left off earlier.

Cons
- Again, the display. I'm not sure if its my unit or what, but when browsing a webpage with a mostly white background, you can notice the left to right side (when in portrait mode) is kinda like yellowish to bluish. Its a minor annoyance to me la
- SOD. This occurred to me twice liao. Had to reset the tablet.
- Apps disappearing. No shit. I had to uninstall the app, the reinstall it. Then move it to the tablet from the internal storage.
- Screenshot button crashed the tablet, once.
- Some games are quite laggy, maybe due to bad optimization. NFS Most Wanted works. Worm2 Armageddon works. Minion Rush works (some bad lags, but now less liao). Asphalt 6 works, but doesnt look that nice due to the 4:3 display. Asphalt 7 doesnt work though.

There is a new firmware dated in May 2013. I'm downloading that now, and gonna test it and see if it can fix the bugs I am facing now. My current firmware is dated back to March 2013 btw.
