The Asus Memo Pad 8 packs an 8-inch display and a quad-core processor into a colourful body. Better yet, it'll be arriving with a cut-down price tag.

There's a 5-megapixel camera on the back, which should be good enough for some fancy Facebook snaps.

Although it has an 8-inch display, slim bezels help keep the overall body size down.
