Reception
- PC Magazine compared the Asus to the Amazon Kindle Fire as a "solid alternative" but would not recommend the tablet for more than surfing the web and reading books. Disappointing battery life also hurt the tablets ratings.{{cite web|title=Asus MeMO Pad ME172V|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021017221107/http://www.pcmag.com/article2/|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 17, 2002|website=pcmag.com}}
- CNET also rated the Asus poorly, citing system crashes while playing games, poor battery life and is uncomfortable to hold.{{cite web|title=Asus Memo Pad ME172V review: Cheap Jelly Bean tablet not worth its performance headaches|url=http://www.cnet.com/products/asus-memo-pad-me172v/review/|website=CNET}}
