It is clear that the Taiwanese computer manufacturer ASUS will largely switch to Intel SoCs, for instance in upcoming Memo Pad and Fonepad 7, the company might just use another cheap Intel Atom processor in another 7 inch tablet which was spotted by the name of K01A.

Asus K01A Specifications

The Asus K01A was spotted on FCC, a U.S. telecoms regulator and is pretty much on the verge of being released in U.S. While there are no pictures of it we do know, thanks to FCC some specs of it such as:

7 inch display
TN panel with 1024 x 600 pixel resolution
802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
3200 mAh 12.2 Wh battery
4GB flash storage
Micro SD card slot
Rear camera, front webcam

Given its low resolution display and poor internal storage, the Asus K01A will cost very less.
