I just held the world's thinnest tablet at CES 2026 — and it makes the iPad Pro look bloated

This doesn't seem real

Have you ever held a piece of tech so thin and light you were almost giddy? That's the experience I just had with a tablet called (appropriately enough) Paper here at CES 2026

Made by the Chinese company Haining Toall Technology, this Android device measures just 3.1mm thick. For those scoring at home, the iPad Pro M5 is 5.1mm thin.

The Paper tablet features a 13-inch AMOLED display, and it's so thin that the ports are stored in a raised area that's slightly thicker. You get two USB-C ports and a mini HDMI port. This bump also makes the slate a bit easier to hold.

We don't know much about the specs, but the company told us it will be available in 256GB and 512GB versions, and the starting price is $1,500.

When I asked about the CPU, I was just told by a company rep that Paper will be powered by a Chinese processor. So maybe that's MediaTek?

The other major trade-off, other than price? Battery life. The Paper is rated for just 3 hours of runtime, but you'll be able to get several more hours with the case.

There's no firm release date for Paper in the U.S., but if it does come stateside, we will definitely test it out and see if it can truly compete against the best tablets. Let us know what you think in the comments.
