The MediaPad M3 is an 8.4-inch tablet that was released by Chinese mobile giant Huawei in October, 2016. It has continued to enjoy positive reviews for its sleek and futuristic design, sharp high-resolution display, impressive audio output and high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity. Moreover, users loved the tablet’s ultra-fast performance, which is made so by a high-end hardware set that features a 2.3GHz octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM. Huawei sweetens the deal some more by incorporating Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the base OS, but users expressed overwhelming dislike for the intrusive Emotion UI. All in all, the new MediaPad M3 has plenty going on for it.

Tablets are a luxury. With phones getting bigger and laptops getting thinner, that in-between device Steve Jobs said would be the future of the computer could be seen as becoming slightly redundant.
