I think I only got the 16 gb, but I'd have to check. I only use mine for navionics, so it I didn't need a tonne of capacity for just charts. If you plan to do other things with it and download movies or something I would spring for more capacity. ASUS is a good brand, but you'd be fine with a samsung or any other Android brand - they're all pretty much the same. Walmart has a few on display to test out for touch and screen brightness which plays a big role. You may want to pick up an external battery as well (sold at gas stations, or just about anywhere these days) so you don't have to remove the tablet from the binnacle when the power gets low.
