Huawei MediaPad M3 review: An unfussy Android media tablet
192 x 115 x 9.6mm; 295g Plastic body in black, blue, red or yellow
7-inch IPS display, 1024 x 600 pixels (171ppi) Quad-core chipset, 1GB RAM, 8/16GB storage, microSD slot

8GB or 16GB? Special offers or no special offers? Should I buy the Kids Edition?
To recap
The Fire 7 has won itself a lot of fans based on its happy go lucky positioning at the bottom of the pile. It’s one of those devices that you’d probably dismiss based on the spec sheet, if it wasn’t for the ridiculously affordable price point. Instead, this tablet is one of the best tech bargains you’ll find.
