I'm used to seeing a minimum of 1GB in tablets these days, so I'm a little surprised Huawei has opted for less than that with the M1 and fear it may struggle to run more demanding applications.
There's also a 4800mAh battery, microSD slot and SIM card tray squashed into a slender 7.9mm frame and the MediaPad M1 weights a manageable 329g, making it easy to hold and lighter than the iPad Mini 2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
Huawei reckons that battery will give you up to 150 hours of music playback, or enough juice to watch eight movies back to back - although I was unable to put this to the test.
Look out for our in-depth Huawei MediaPad M1 review in the coming months for the full low-down on battery performance.
