Nice and unique hardware design ; Fast enough for most tasks ; Great front-facing speakers

Bad software ; Insane amount of bloatware ; Android has become a stagnant tablet OS

The software ; Oh, Asus. It's nice that you're trying, but maybe try a bit harder? Most of the included features are of little use and there are so many bloatware apps. It's also still based on Android 5.0. ; Charging ; No support for QuickCharge 2.0,...

This version of the ZenPad S will run you $299. In exchange for your hard-earned money, you get a cool little tablet with a great screen and slim, attractive design. The $199 version has a slower Intel chip, 2GB of RAM, and only 32GB of storage. If you...
