THUMBS UP

HUAWEI CAME UP WITH THEIR OWN IPAD PRO AND IT IS CALLED THE MATEPAD PRO

Design 4

As mentioned earlier, the tablet is slightly smaller than the comparable iPad Pro and has the highest screen-tobody ratio which is 90%. However, it is a little thicker and heavier weighing in at 492g with 7.99mm in thickness. What’s different about this tablet is that Huawei went along by fitting the front camera in the display instead of the bezel and it takes a while for the user to get used to it. Or even realise that there’s a camera. As for the display, it comes with a 10.8” LCD screen with 2560 x 1600 resolution. With the cinema-grade DCI-P3 colour gamut, the tablets make photos and video looking extra crisp. The colour reproduction is excellent considering all facts that it is an LCD screen and not the latest OLED panel. With 540 nits, its brightness is just right and would make us agree that it is a plus point for a tablet this size.

When the iPad Pro launched, it is clear that many have agreed that it is an extraordinary tablet with astounding features and upgrades compared to its predecessors. However, not long after its launch, Huawei has come up with their own version of the iPad Pro and honestly, we think that it is pretty remarkable especially with its latest features. This 10.8” flagship tablet is certainly A TABLET I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT as it comes with an IPS display of 2560x1600 pixels resolution giving its users a pixel density of 280 PPI. Audio-wise, it comes with four-speaker grilles, two on each side with five microphones that reduces background noises and are all tuned by Harmon Kardon. However, it doesn’t have a headphone jack. Which means, for the users to connect headphones, they would have to either get one with a USB-C type cable or use an adapter to connect the headphones to the tablet.

ISSUE 23

The tablet comes with a stylus which is known as the M Pencil (sold separately) that magnetically attaches and charges on the top of the tablet.

Features 3.5

This flagship tablet is designed to synergise with Huawei handsets, wearables and other devices. With switching the use of a tablet to an instant-laptop, the Huawei Matepad Pro’s key highlight would be its seamless Multi-screen Collaboration feature. The particular feature also enables drag-and-drop file transfers between smartphones and tablets seamlessly. Users can also control their smartphones through the tablet’s keyboard and screen, making it easier to play music or reply texts without having to go back and forth between both devices. Whereas to fulfil productivity, the device comes with Multi-Window that displays up to three apps simultaneously whilst the App Multiplier splits the screen into two windows making work easier for the user. Huawei’s latest video calling feature, MEETime is just what the tablet needs. Users can look forward to sharing their screen while on call and also be able to take notes in real-time without needing to exit the app.

access Google Mobile Services (GMS). It’s just unfortunate that the tablet is handicapped from GMS, or else it would have been a top iPad Pro contender. Users won’t be able to download Instagram, Netflix, PUBG or even WhatsApp on the Matepad Pro which just makes it a little bit frustrating on the user-end side. Alternatively, Huawei did come out with the App Gallery but the only big apps available so far are Snapchat and TikTok. Despite being a great tablet for drawing, the tablet comes with minimally supported apps that utilise the stylus except for its built-in AutoDesk’s Sketchbook. In terms of the camera functions though, the tablet comes with an 8MP autofocus front camera and 13MP rear camera that works well in terms of scanning documents as such.

The only downside that the Huawei Matepad Pro is lacking compared to the iPad Pro is not being able to

Performance 4

The tablet runs on Huawei's latest chipset the Kirin 990. It is the same chipset that can be found on the new P40 series and is available in both 4G and 5G options. With an 8GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage, Huawei enthusiasts won't face a "storage full" situation again and even if they do, the tablet's storage can still be expanded via the NM card slot. Huawei's EMUI 10 makes the split-screen multitasking feature works excellently as users will be able to open apps in small windows and view them all at the same screen without any hassle. There is no fingerprint scanner however the face unlock feature works well too. Besides that, the Huawei Matepad Pro has the ability to charge Qi-enabled devices and has exceptionally fast charging using the 40w plug.

Value 4

Pricing wise, it is absolutely worth it as the tablet is sold for RM2,399. Those who are interested can purchase the Huawei Matepad Pro via their online store. There are two packages which are the Single that is basically just the device alone or the Bundle that is currently in the promotion and sold for RM2,898. That particular package comes with not only a year of 50GB cloud storage, 3 months free premium for HUAWEI Video and 3 months of free WPS Office Premium but it also comes with the additional accessories: M-Pencil and the smart magnetic keyboard.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that this tablet is absolutely slick and admirable, even the cinema-grade LCD screen is pretty impressive. Not to mention the sound system, as well. However, with all that said, it would certainly be a huge sacrifice for the user in terms of software. It’d be difficult to work on a tablet with the lack of Google services. For an instant, the beautiful screen colouring and audio seems like a sad case when the user is unable to play Spotify or watch YouTube. The Matepad Pro is an excellent tablet but it isn’t for everyone.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN USING THESE VIEWSONIC HOME MONITORS If you’re the person that is after a computer monitor that doesn’t only comprises the visual display but also has the perfect blend of style and performance then we reckon you to try out these two models from ViewSonic that are known as the Best Monitor Brand for 2020. The ViewSonic VX3276-2K-MHD attracts users attention with its frameless and metallic design that is absolutely slick. Whereas this iF award-winning monitor, the VX2485-MHU can help elevate your home entertainment with its accurate and vivid colours and excellent dual integrated speakers.

Design 4

When it comes to design, ViewSonic takes it all home with its seductive craftmanship. The VX3276-2K-MHD is a 32-inch model that comes with a frameless design with a triangular metallic stand foot. It’s quite small for a stand however it balances just well because of the wide and thin monitor design. Then there’s

the ViewSonic VX2485-MHU which is a 24-inch 1080p IPS compact monitor. It comes with a SuperClear® IPS panel and a sleek frameless design with swivel hinge at the centre back that doubles as a cable holder and stand. The panel can also be tilted and one thing both monitors have in common is that you could mount the monitor on the wall with a VESA-compliant 100 x 100 bracket.

In terms of image quality, the VX76 leverages the IPStype panel technology that produces graphics in rich and vivid details with over one billion colours. It also comes with a brilliant WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution screen compared to the standard Full HD with an aspect ratio of 16:9. As for the contrast ratio, it is known to be much higher than standard monitors and is listed at 1200: 1 static contrast, 80 million to 1 dynamic contrast. Featuring the Flicker-Free technology and Blue Light Filter, it provides much more comfortable viewing for its users. It also helps the eye from getting strained after

long hours of usage. Audio-wise, it completes the multisensory immersion as its dual integrated stereo speakers deliver powerful sound. As for the VX85, users can expect to have a nearseamless viewing experience with ViewSonic’s AMD FreeSync technology and can expect not to go through any screen tearing or choppy frame rates. Its 24-inch IPS panel comes with a 920 x 1080 resolution with a contrast ratio of 1000:1 like most IPS panels. In terms of getting a much immersive audio experience, the VX85’s 3W dual speakers are quite decent and users can also connect speakers or headphones through the audio jack.

Performance 4

There's no doubt that there are cheaper 32-inch monitors out there however one thing users should take note about is that the VX76 has a refresh rate of 60Hz with multiple presets such as game, movie, web, text mono and Mac. Plus, each of the presets comes with

different enhancements to suit the optimal viewing experience based on the settings. The VX85 however doesn't only come with a fantastic design but it is a monitor that you would want to use on a daily basis since it covers all the modern essentials in terms of productivity or even entertainment. When it comes to the responsiveness of the monitor, users should know that it comes with an extra refresh rate of 75Hz compared to the standard 60Hz to help reduce the blurring effects during motion transitions. As for the presets, it has a few gaming modes like MOBA, FPS and RTS.

Value 4

Both monitors can be purchased through ViewSonic Authorized Reseller. The VX3276-2K-MHD is sold at RM999 whereas the VX2485-MHU is RM899. Based on the monitors' performance, the value given is quite reasonable.

Conclusion

Perfect for users who are looking for monitors that serve their daily productivity needs. Besides, having the freedom factor of plugging in your laptop or other devices to a larger screen is somehow much more pleasing.
