Asus officially launched their newest line of ZenPad tablets, the ZenPad 7.0, the ZenPad C 7.0 and the ZenPad 8.0, at this year's Computex event, running from June 2 to 6.
Among the new Asus Zenpad line of tablets, ZenPad 7.0 is the smallest unit, measuring 0.33 inches thick and weighing about 9.3 ounces. The ZenPad C 7.0 tablet is powered by a 1.2GHz processor with 1GB RAM. It has also a 2-megapixel rear camera.
Asus has claimed that their ZenPad 8.0 is the first tablet that enables users to customize cover designs with functional back covers. Called the Zen Clutch, the attachment also functions as a protective case that has a leather texture and comes in five different colors that users can choose from.
The device also boasts of enhanced image and video resolution, and audio features. Its Power Case extends the battery's life up to 15 hours.
There were two varieties of ZenPad 8.0 released in the event, the ZenPad 8.0 (Z38KL) and ZenPad 8.0 (Z38OC).
The two are almost similar in terms of features. The difference lies in the connectivity area. While the ZenPad 8.0 (Z380C) can connect via Wi-Fi only, the ZenPad 8.0 (Z38KL) is both Wi-Fi and LTE connection ready. It also comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, which will help deliver faster connection.

Besides ZenPad 8.0, three different ZenPad 10.0 tablets were also featured at the convention. Asus has not yet revealed the price and the availability of these products in the market.
The company proved at the Computex that it deserves to be called a PC vendor giant. Last year, Asus was one of the three largest providers of electronic gadgets in terms of sales, together with Lenovo and HP.
