Review: Huawei Matepad Pro, Redefining Creativity and Portability

With its 10.8-inch full view display, the Huawei Matepad Pro has so much more to offer. It offers remarkable visual experiences, whether you are seeking inspiration or just catching up on some work. 

With a lightweight body at just 460g, it has an elegant design that makes it compact and durable. Carrying it around, It’s so thin it can slide into your backpack like a piece of paper. With the tiny micro-curve frame, it ergonomically fits your hands for comfortable all-day use.

The Matepad Pro also doubles up as a sketching pad. With the Mirror Mode, what you write and draw on the tablet with the M-Pencil are synced in real-time to your laptop screen, allowing effective work sessions. Double your efficiency with the Extend Mode, to work with a dual display. In Collaborate Mode, it allows for cross-operating system file transfers with their upgraded smart features. Knowing that you have a reliable device that always got your back, working is way less stressful. 

Paired with the Matepad Pro, Huawei’s M-Pencil (2nd generation) features a transparent tip design and rounded hexagonal shape, making it extremely comfortable to hold. It has high-pressure sensitivity and supports tilt writing, capturing every nuance of your movement and registers even the lightest of strokes. This is due to its nearly unnoticeable 20 ms latency.

Add on their versatile smart keyboard that supports wireless charging and Bluetooth connections to work on the go. The keys feature a 1.3 mm travel distance to ensure the right amount of bounce for your typing comfort. Systematic AI noise cancellation technology and smart all-directional voice tracking automatically pick up your voice and intelligently adjusts the volume, while significantly reducing keyboard typing, mouse, and ambient sounds.
