You instantly notice the smooth plastic casing as soon as you pick up the Memo Pad HD7 - we have to admit we prefer a textured finish, as it helps create extra grip, but the tablet didn't feel slippery. THe white and black colour choices will probably appeal to the majority, but we can see a few people liking the bright yellow and hot pink colours too. Its dimensions are almost identical in size to the Nexus 7 - ever so slightly thicker, but with a somewhat thinner screen bezel - but we noticed the difference in weight. The Memo Pad is around 40g lighter than the nexus, making it more comfortable to hold in one hand for long periods
