**Read all the comments before deciding whether this is a good deal or not.**
UPDATE: I've just spoken to Argos (the ebay Argos) who looked up the EAN number. The gentleman I spoke to seems to think it's actually the 2gb version, but if it's not I can have a free return because of the ambiguity in the listing.
UPDATE 2: it's looking even better for 2gb RAM because I think the 1gb has a different model number - Z370C-1A007A. The model number for the 2gb model seems to be: z370c-1a054a which is in the Argos listing. Having said, even though it's likely to be the 2gb version, I can't actually "guarantee" that you'll receive the 2gb model.
My lad dropped and smashed his Hudl 2 so I've been looking for a cheap replacement. This seems to be an absolute bargain to me. It's not entirely clear whether this is the 1gb model or the 2gb model. The model number suggests 2gb but the weight suggests 1gb. It says £59.99 but there's an extra 10% off at checkout.

HEAT!
This will be an interesting one for anyone buying it!
The photos in the argos listing are of the Z370CG, which is the 3G Cellular version of the
Z370C, not had the C but had a CG and it was a 2GB ram model with the Mali 450 GPU..
There *were* 2 versions of this asus sold in the UK, from the Asus german suppliers, one
was the model 7.0 and the other the C 7.0 which makes it even more interesting..
This model sold by Argos is not the same catalog # as the one being sold by Argos
that is the 2GB Z370C [non 3G sim model] for £100.00, so maybe the one on eBay
is in fact the same 2GB model, but they have updated the cat # which they do, do a
lot..
Now from a bit of deduction and the fact that neither Argos or Ebay Argos know what
they are doing or selling [check out how many revisions are made on their listings
history for sold items returned] if the one in the listing is the one that weighs 280g
plus it is the 2GB variant, the 1GB variant was lighter and also had the Adreno 304
GPU not the Mali in it..
SO.. for £54 it's a bargain either way.. as for the extra 1GB ram debate.. its a tablet on
android 5 so it will run smooth [compared to Crapple / Bindows] anyway..
Battery life on our Z370CG [sim model] was excellent and for whatever reason it was
brilliant on any speed wifi connection, worked eceptionally fast on BT hotspots/ BT
public Zon for some reason? Nice screen, great indoors and out, superb sound and
looks funky.. :smile:

It seems so. The model number is z370c-1a054a which seems to be the 2gb model.

z370c can have 1 or 2 but if only has 1 you be able to send back no probs

Argos seem to sell the 2gb model so it's worth a risk. As you say, send it back if it's not. :smiley:

I really don't need one but at that price a good spare thank you for posting

Okay, I've been doing more digging. The model number suggests 2gb RAM but the weight (266.5 g) suggests it's the 1gb model so you might want to hold off. I'm going to change the subject line to 1gb. Apologies, if it's inconvenienced anyone!

The 1gb model seems to be 8 GB and 262 g so who knows I like the Zen range and for the price still OK and 5.0 android

I've sent a message to Argos ebay in the hope of finding out for sure. Will let you all know the answer when they get back to me.

Here's the rather silly answer I got back from Argos:
"We are unable to provide any further information from that in our listing, which states '16GB RAM'. For more specific product information or technical advice, please visit the manufacturer’s website, contact the manufacturer directly or search the item via a search engine."
16GB RAM! I'm gonna be really disappointed even if it does turn up with 2gb!

Right! Another update. I've just spoken to Argos (the ebay Argos) who looked up the EAN number. The gentleman I spoke to seems to think it's actually the 2gb version, but if it's not I can have a free return because of the ambiguity in the listing.

I thought it was as I have only seen the 8gb having 1gb ram so lets hope we are lucky but I,m happy with 1gb also but good to know thanks
