AnTuTu and MobileXPRT are well-known benchmarks that have been around for a long time. We use these tests to compare the general performance of the devices we review. The overall scores are handy for quick comparisons, but the task- and component-specific scores are useful, too, particularly if you’re tablet shopping with specific requirements in mind.

The ASUS MeMO Pad 7 placed 6th among the devices we’ve recently tested, but it took 2nd place in the RAM tests, and 3rd place in the CPU Float test. Not bad for a $150 tablet. The tablet took top honors in MobileXPRT with an overall score of 287. It took the lead or (or stayed near it) in most of the benchmark’s individual assesments, including the browser scrolling and list zoom/pinch tests. In fact, the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 took 2nd place with its User Experience score of 100.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
