Asus Chairman Jonney Shih headed the presentation of the new devices. The last device they introduced was the premium line of ZenPad tablets. The ZenPads are available in three variants: the ZenPad 7.0, ZenPad 8.0 and Zen Pad S 8.0 that has an added stylus. They also have the ZenPad 10.1 that offers an option for extended keyboard. The ZenPad lines can either come with an LTE or 3G connectivity, depending on the design.
