Have you ever wanted a tablet that you can customize according to your needs and wants? Like say if you wanted your tablet to have a bigger battery or better speakers or even a differently coloured backplate? Building upon the base model tablet of the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0, the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG is one of the few tablets around that can offer interchangeable backplates with a multitude of differently coloured and multifunctional backplates that you can swap out as you want. How well does it deliver all that? Read on and find out with our full review of the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG.

Very few smartphones and even tablets can boast good and loud built-in speakers, and the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG is one of the few that has an accessory which can offer near-boombox levels of audio. This accessory is the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover, which features 5.1 channel surround sound, a built-in subwoofer and 6 speakers all inside a stylish leather pattern cover. Designed to work automatically with no messy bluetooth pairing, the Audio Cover should also make watching movies and other multimedia even more awesome. Priced at RM249, check out our unboxing and hands-on video of the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover in this article.

Apart from being one of the few tablets out there with interchangeable backplates, the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG tablet is also one of the few consumer level tablets out there that also has a hotswappable battery thanks to the ASUS Power Case. Basically a thicker ASUS Zen Case backplate with a built-in battery, according to ASUS the Power Case can double your ZenPad 7.0 tablet's battery life to 16 hours. Priced at RM109, we managed to do an unboxing and hands-on video of the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Power Case below so check it out if you've always wanted a tablet that can last longer without having to plug in a powerbank.

Initially announced at a Malaysia price of RM499, the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 Z170CG has now been priced at RM529. Both the ZenPad C 7.0 and ZenPad 7.0 are currently available at the ASUS Store but you should be able to get accessories like the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover (RM249), Power Case (RM109) and Zen Clutch (RM119) at authorized sellers and distributors. The pricing for the ZenPad 7.0 (RM749) and other accessories have not changed from the earlier launch and everything should eventually be available at the ASUS Store.

While the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 launch was going on we managed to get some hands-on time with the Audio Cover, one of the accessories you can use to further customize the ZenPad 7.0 tablet. Featuring 5.1 channel surround sound with a subwoofer and six built-in speakers the Audio Cover was able to play clear audio even with the larger speakers for the launch background music blaring away. Just imagine how it would sound like by itself and you might be able to turn your tablet into an instant boombox. So far, we've only seen two colours for the Audio Cover, which are black and white but both are super thin and lightweight enough to look like a slightly thicker case. No exact Malaysia release dates are available for the Audio Cover yet, but it is estimated to be coming in the next few weeks for the pricing of RM249. Check out our hands-on video and pictures of the Audio Cover below for yourself.

According to ASUS, the ASUS ZenPad tablets were created to replace the ASUS Fonepad tablet phones or tablets with smartphone call and SMS capabilities. Now that the ASUS ZenPad is here with the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 and ASUS ZenPad 7.0, we thought we'd take a step through memory lane by going through the design, look and feel of the previous ASUS Fonepad 7 tablets up until the current ZenPad tablets. While all of them carried a 7-inch display, the Fonepad tablets were initially a lot thicker and rounder, eventually evolving to a flat and thin look with the newer Fonepad tablets. This evolved again into the clutch case-like design of the ZenPad tablets with the interchangeable Zen Case backplates of the ZenPad 7.0. Check out our comparison video in this article for yourself.

The ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 recently got launched alongside the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 at the Zensationroadshow in Mid Valley Megamall. While you can go and check it out for yourself at Centre court, we managed to get the official bumper case for the ZenPad C 7.0 tablet. This bumper case is the same one Mr. Anonymous recently passed pics to us about and we've since done a hands-on video of the bumper case and the ZenPad C 7.0. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet on the bumper case but it is expected to arrive sometime in September 2015. The ZenPad C 7.0 itself was already revealed to be RM499 while the ZenPad 7.0 is going for RM749. Check it out in our video below and see if this is the type of protection you need for your ZenPad C 7.0 tablet phone.

Tablet phones or tablets with call capabilities have come a long way from the first days when people put 7-inch display devices to their ears. Apart from newer technologies, they have become thinner, slimmer and more compact, especially for the higher-end market. ASUS was one of the first to make such tablets for the entry-level market with their ASUS Fonepad tablets and now, they are replacing these well received devices with the new ASUS ZenPad range. Featuring the latest 64-bit Intel Atom x3 processors, dts-HD audio technologies and a more fashion conscious look and feel, the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 (Z170C) is the most entry-level device on the ZenPad tablet range. In this day and age when it isn't uncommon to see someone using a tablet phone to make a call does the ASUS ZenPad C really offer improvements over the earlier ASUS Fonepad 7? We find out in our full review of the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 in this article.

The ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG is probably one of the world's first tablets to have interchangeable backplates which ASUS are calling Zen Cases. As per our previous unboxing video, it was revealed that ASUS Malaysia are including an extra Zen Case for free. We went on to do some hands-on with the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG with its improved tech specs including an 8MP Pixelmaster rear camera, dts-HD audio technology and the 64-bit Intel Atom x3 processor formerly known as SoFIA. Check out our hands-on video for a closer look at the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG ahead of its release in Malaysia next week on 26 August 2015.

The upcoming ASUS ZenPad tablets are coming soon to Malaysia just next week on 26 August 2015 but we managed to get some time with the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG ahead of release time. As such we've done our usual unboxing video. Unlike the previous ZenPad C 7.0, the ZenPad 7.0 is probably the world's first tablet with interchangeable backplates which ASUS have called Zen Cases. Again, thankfully, it turns out that ASUS Malaysia are including a free extra ASUS Zen Case with every ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG. There is a whole lot of other tech specs and features including a 64-bit Intel Atom x3 processor, dts-HD audio technology, 7-inch 720p HD display, an 8MP Pixelmaster rear camera and improved VisualMaster TrueVivid display technology. For now, check out the unboxing video in this article.
