Asus’ new ZenPad S 8.0 tablet is available now at Best Buy for $199.99.
Asus had launched the tablet at Computex in early June, but the company had not divulged the price or release date.
Designed as an on-the-go tablet that could offer a lower-cost alternative to the iPad mini, the Zen Pad S 8.0 weighs 10.51 ounces (298 grams) and is 0.25 inches (6.6mm) thick.
The ZenPad S 8.0 runs Android 5.0 (Lollipop) on an 8-inch 2048×1536 display and is powered by a quad-core Atom Z3530 processor.
