For $200 this looks like a decent entry level tablet with a recent version of Android out of the box. Strange about the ram 1gb vs 2gb though.

Not an expert on tab but how would this compare to the Galaxy Tab A 8", performance wise ??

Have the Galaxy, find it fuzzy and a bit slow. Thx.

You have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Quad core, 1200 MHz, ARM Cortex -A7, GPU Adreno 305, 1.5gb ram

VS. ZenPad 10's Intel Atom x3-C3200 Quad-Core CPU 1200 MHz, GPU MALI-450 MP4 but only 1gb ram.

See spec comparison http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/ ... /2b2a40a31

See estimation as real benchmarks are yet to come as the chipset is very new

If the US<>Cdn exchange rate didn't suck so much we could order the USA 2gb ram model from BHphoto with free shipping.

Though the Asus USA site does explicitly state 2gb ram I would call to confirm with BH Photo just the same.

Because $200 tablets should have FHD and 8gb of ram.

Was only a matter of time before your troll about resolution came in. Congrats.

both newegg and memory express have it down as 1gb.

Is there any middle ground tablet between this and the Tab s 10.5? The tab 4 only has a snapdragon 400.

Not a hot deal but it is a brand new release that no other vendor is presently discounting with Free Shipping.

How about that one? There are staple coupons out there to get it down by about 25$
You'll need to find 20 coupons though.....

Resolution is fine (I have an old TF300T which has the same resolution).

What screen size is required?

BB has this ACER 8" for $149: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/ace ... c5ae72en02

Its a good machine if you don't care about customization through rooting, great display, as well as 2gb ram, also micro sd slot.

Thanks for the insight guys - I was thinking of a single block purchase without needing to have to buy each one individually.

The tablets will be used to run a single app, and having v5.x is pretty important... I think 7" is sufficient, but I would prefer 8"+ - resolution has to be pretty crisp.

I also want an easy support/warranty process in case something breaks with the tablet.

I was thinking of the Acer at Costco - any thoughts there?
