Huawei has a new tablet on the market: the MatePad Air. We've been using the device for a while now, putting it through its paces for both everyday tasks and creative work to see how it holds up.

Who is it for?

The MatePad Air is aimed squarely at professionals who are constantly on the move, students who want to keep their lecture notes and presentations in a single device, and content creators who draw with the M-Pencil Pro. In other words, Huawei is pitching it as a portable workstation.

What did we test?

During the review, we took a close look at the 2.8K-resolution OLED PaperMatte display and its paper-like experience. We also measured how the keyboard case and stylus perform in productivity scenarios.

To gauge the tablet's raw power, we ran Geekbench and 3DMark synthetic benchmarks. On top of that, we tracked battery life throughout full days of real-world use.

AI features

The MatePad Air's AI tools help speed up everyday tasks, and in the review we also show how these features work in practice.

We break down our full results — and who this tablet actually makes sense for — in our video. Enjoy!
