This is the ASUS MeMO Pad 8 as listed on Amazon for $184.99.

This is the ASUS MeMO Pad 8 sold at Staples on clearance for $99.99 and on which I used this $50 any clearance tablet coupon. Yes, they are the same model. Basically, you print this coupon and hit up your local Staples.  While it’s not an Apple (much to PITA’s dismay), it’s a damned fine place-holder until she wins the lottery.
