with this price, it is better than the nexus 7 (2012) deal IMO

of course not specs but … price ;)
There's plenty of 1st Gen Android tablets that are on sale now for $40-$80 offering similar specs to this..
Regardless of the Asus Memo Pad ME172V's attractively low $149 price, you shouldn't buy it. Its performance is slow, it crashes when attempting to play some of the latest games, and the narrow viewing angle and low resolution of the screen make it look like a hologram sticker placeholder rather than a quality screen with solid colors.
The Memo Pad does include a microSD slot, something the Nexus 7 (also manufactured by Asus) doesn’t have; however, even at $50 more, the Nexus 7 is clearly the better product. It’s faster, includes the very latest version of Android, and its sharp screen can be viewed from nearly any angle — not something the Memo Pad can claim.
The ME172V is aimed at people looking to save a few bucks on their tablet purchase, but the budget-conscious would be better served by biting the bullet and paying more for the Nexus 7 (or even the $159 Kindle Fire), rather than saving a few bucks and regretting their purchase.

Single core tablet I believe.
Yeah, this really isn't comparable at all to the Nexus7 2012.
The price savings of ~$30-$50 isn't proportional to the performance trade off.
i'd say get nexus 7 16 gb refurb from cfonline.com.au for $149. They dont have any stock now but more stock is coming soon.
Looks like Dick Smith have them at $119 - only available as click and collect though.

You know this is the old low-res & slow model, right? Not the nice new HD ASUS version.
At the price it is worth considering, but you cannot compare it to the Nexus.
