This particular tablet has been perfect for all you mentioned! Light weight, so easy to carry. My daughter used it for class over the summer (college ) and my husband used his for gaming, web searches, and emails. I use mine for web searches and emails mostly. Yes! We each have one.

This tablet completely worth getting!!! I bought mine a year ago and has been excellent for my daily professional work. I teach at the university and make projects for clients, and use this tablet for my classes and presentations, make cost charts, sketchs, web searches, emails, social networking, watch movies, run professional apps, and so on. It really is a good product!!By the way, I also bougth the "ASUS Official Folio Keyboard Case for MeMOPad Smart ME301 Series" and is a perfect match!!

It's not a bad tablet; however, it's old already. I bought it sometime ago and I had to deal with the fact that it's not compatible with many popular apps nowadays. Mine stopped charging a few month ago and I assume it's because the circuit board the port it's attached to broke down. I would recommend a newer version.

I got mine at the $198 price, but I thought I was taking a risk. I need not have feared. The original is equal to tablets selling for twice the price, and is of undeniable quality. Now the model II is near release I've taken the step to pre-order it and I expect it will also exceed expectations. Consider this: you will get a honeycomb tablet soon to be upgraded, a processor running at 1.5 Ghz, four times the internal storage of the original and twice the RAM, all for about $60 more than the original. I think its a no-brainer.

This tablet is junk... And to answer your question, yes, this is one of many issues with it. It is very slow. Got for my son for Christmas, and he hasn't even really been able to use it. Price was good, but definitely worth the money to buy a better one.

An update to Ice Cream Sandwich came out in the fall from Samsung. This tablet is great for my needs but may not be good for someone else. It boils down to what size is a right fit for you? I've not had a single issue with this tablet personally. Any problem I've experienced has been the fault of an app I'm using.

Bamboo Create. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

Yes it is worth the money! It is way better than the nexus 7. I have two of the Ipad Air. I believe it is the best tablet out there by far! If you want to save money by the smaller memory one. The 16gb or 32 gb will do you well. Even at 16gb you have a Hugh amount of storage. The screen and speed are awsume!!!!

Well, it comes with office, many, if not most apps are free...at least the ones that I use. For surfing, browsing and watching movies or videos, I rarely touch my PC or laptop anymore. Having said that, it's not a powerhouse. I have purchased nothing for use on this tablet and would buy it again, or the new one with the atom processor ( or is it tegra 4?)

Hi JoAnn, It is a nice tablet with a lot of functions only if you can get beyond the charging problems. Unfortunately, it is a problem with most of these tablets from other past owners reviews. There are the lucky few that give a good review that did not mention the popular manufacturing defect with the charging problem. I liked the tablet and wanted to purchase three more for my other kids, but after testing the first unit follow with the terrible customer service experience with Blackberry customer support team... I would strong suggest you spend your money on something else with better product reviews. Additional point of interest, the product was introduce to the market about a year or two ago priced at a range if $400 to $600, now it is sell around $150. That is not a good sign of a reliable product.

If I understand what is happening, I can buy a $99 tablet that will work for at least the next year or so, as WebOS will still be out there, and if WebOS disappears alltogether, I will still have a kindle reader? and also an mp3 player for my $99?

Please don't waste your money. I have one and the company had so many complaints they took them selves off the internet. You can buy one but you can't get any support and no refunds. Amazon may sell them and they shouldn't. I paid 399.00 and I could have bought a good tablet. They do not work like they promise. Has an old system and you can't update. Hope this helps.

Don't buy it here you can get it elsewhere 100 dollars cheaper. I'msure Amazon will get the correct price point later but just to let you guysknow there is another ASUS tablet in the horizon so you guys might just want to skip these tablest....big mistake on ASUS part I think youcan google for it should be coming out in the summer, worth the wait.

Easy. Set up a return with Amazon and send it back. There are an insane amount of options for Android tablets on the market. This tablet is one of the worst. IMO, get a different one. Kindle Fire starts at $159, Google Nexus starts at $199.

The release date was Aug 11, 2013, so no, no one has. I know in a year I will need a new faster one to keep up, it can't run some high in games and apps NOW. It's great LOW end tablet (low end but worth the $$). It runs JB 4.2 , 4.3 came out no update, KK 4.4 is out no update. With some games and apps using the latest new add ons from the newest android platform, makes older versions unable to run the game or app. Had mine since Oct 23, 2013. I learned the SD slot location sucks and the flex on the plastic body will make the sd card unmount. SO sd is backup and not something to count on 100%. I learn to do lots of cool stuff you got root it and void the warranty (otg cable, can plug in any usb now, keyboard, mouse and or joysticks)but that's most tablets. I learned how well a 7in fits in the hands compared to phones 4in and bigger tablets. I learned how much I love playing Gin Rummy in the outhouse and how much fun and mental work out puzzle games can be (Lazors). I learned that it will another low budget Asus that I get in 7-11 months to upgrade this one. I got my nephew 1 for Christmas, he loves it, wish I would have got another when the where on sale for $129 on here in Dec. I use it everyday but not heavy use. In a year it will not be obsolete but if I could sell it for $50 and get a new $150 2015 tablet it's worth $8 and some change a month for less headaches and a new and improved tablet.

I purchased the ASUS Vivo Tab RT for 499.00 at Microcenter. It appears ASUS has lowered the price. The free keyboard is included at the lowered price.

Yes, probably, but I would be very leery of the quality problems so many of us had with this tablet. There are some name brands with budget tablets in the $149-$199 range, like Samsung, HP, and the Kindle Fire HD.

Charles here, I don't know. This is a terrible, cheap and unreliable tablet that is full of problems that you shouldn't even have and you should've avoided to buy it. If you want a good and reliable tablet, get an ipad or a samsung. They may cost a couple hundred dollars but they're built to last you a long time and they have better performance too and I agree with Melanie Lawless the original answerer.Thank you,Charles Dion.
