**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:

So definitely got 2gb ram?
heathergreen1 to ibblackberry1
7 Feb 161#2
It seems so. The model number is z370c-1a054a which seems to be the 2gb model.
brilly to ibblackberry1

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
heathergreen1
7 Feb 161#6
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!
kev72
7 Feb 161#7
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

7 Feb 16#11
How much ram does it have? :confused:
heathergreen1
7 Feb 16#13
I've got pretty much the same view, but the 2gb would be nice. Fingers crossed, eh! :wink:
EportJake
7 Feb 161#14
I've taken the gamble on it being a 2gb version. If it's not, I'll give it a test drive to see if I want to keep it.

Nice one. Like you say, it's not a bad bargain with 1gb, but if it does turn out to be 2 then it's a proper bargain. :smiley:

Took a punt as the youngest's hudl 1 is ageing badly so fingers crossed for 2gb but still happy enough with the 1gb

This is far too good a tablet with quality build [asus made google tablets] to splash water on!!!
Would suggest you just get a crappy one on ebay, for messing about with and potential kitchen damage use :wink:

REALLY don't need another 7 inch tablet! Almost too tempting to resist this one as can alway return it if not happy.......

Ordered, thanks OP. Lets hope its 2gb!
heathergreen1 to shaunmorgan3994881
7 Feb 16#32
Nice. I think you must have got one of the last ones because they're all gone now!
Anyone who wants a gold one can still get it, but it's definitely the 1gb model:
They put a few more up after the first 140 sold out so it might be worth keeping an eye on the listing if anyone still wants one.
TranquilEye
7 Feb 16#37
Hope it's the 2GB one, which the model number says it is. But then, it does says it's Windows 8 so I take that with a pinch of salt. Good price whether 1 or 2GB though.
008 to TranquilEye
7 Feb 161#38
>>>>>
They are all android and the black one has a different model # to the white one here [still for sale and 1gb]
so be interesting when someone picks there's up or has it delivered from this deal, as if they are not 2gb
will cost argos bundles to have them all back again.. so likely a part refund might be on the cards ;-)
vbnmu
7 Feb 16#39
The model number for the white one is for a 2gb version even though the description says 1gb.

Anybody got it delivered？just curious if it is a 2gb model.
doohdah to catkitten
9 Feb 16#41
The one I ordered is out for delivery today so will report back later if no one else has. I notice they've relisted now stating 1gb in the listing.
Edit: it's just come and it's 1gb
david1274
9 Feb 16#42
They've stated 1GB from the beginning, haven't they? It's still showing as z370c-1a054a, which is 2GB model, and two more currently for sale, as I type
david1274
9 Feb 16#43
Does it say Z370C-1A007A on box?
doohdah
9 Feb 16#44
Yes it does
doohdah
9 Feb 16#45
The listing I bought from had no mention of ram at all, except the 16gb RAM :smile:
david1274
9 Feb 161#46
In that case, you could complain I guess
doohdah
9 Feb 16#47
I could but as it's for the youngest I'm happy enough as it's an improvement over his hudl with it being lighter and thinner and lollipop should help too so still not a bad deal.
david1274
9 Feb 16#48
Fair enough
What weight is it and does it have the Adreno 304?
doohdah to david1274
9 Feb 16#51
according to my kitchen scales 273g and not sure how to find out the other

9 Feb 16#49

But does one buy now knowing it's only 1gb. Decisions...:stuck_out_tongue:

Other than that, would you say it's worth £54? Not sure whether to cancel mine when it arrives

Mine seems to be working fine, you could always hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds if that keeps persisting and try again?
DBore to Billythekid116

Mine seems to be working fine as well. Looks brand new, no obvious marks or anything.
So does mine.

I bought one too & mine is doing that also. you had any joy yet? :disappointed:

Forgot to ask the obligatory question, anyone know of a good case for one of these? Thinking of something like this one from Amazon.

Mine arrived today. Going to call them tomorrow about the fact that it's the wrong EAN to what was listed (now updated) and see what they say. Will probably return it anyway
