Asus has launched super-thin laptops at Computex 2017, and alongside it has even unveiled three new tablets. While the entire world is questioning the existence of tablets in the current market scenario, Asus seems to think there is still potential. At Taipei, Asus has launched the new ZenPad 3S 8.0, and two new ZenPad 10 tablet variants named Z301MFL and Z301ML.
Starting with the successor of the ZenPad 3 8.0, the tablet has got a spec and software boost.

Coming to the two ZenPad 10 variants, they both sport the same design, and most of the specs are similar on paper too.
