Asus Pad comes out as a brazen iPad wannabe, but looks like a solid OLED Android slate
Asus looked at the iPad and said “Yeah, we’ll have one too”
ASUS has officially unveiled the new Asus Pad, and honestly, the inspiration is impossible to ignore. From the flat metal chassis and symmetrical bezels to the magnetic keyboard accessories and stylus support, the tablet looks heavily influenced by Apple’s iPad lineup. But underneath the familiar design language sits what could actually be one of the more compelling Android tablets launched this year.
The Asus Pad arrives at a time when Android tablet makers are aggressively trying to close the gap with Apple in premium productivity-focused hardware. While many Android tablets still struggle with app optimization and ecosystem polish, companies increasingly realize that buyers care just as much about display quality, battery life, and hardware design as they do about software exclusives.
