If you’re hunting for a laptop for drawing, the Huawei MatePad 12 X is a strong new contender. Announced just last month, it’s a touchscreen tablet but comes with a detachable keyboard for versatile laptop functionality. And if you’re quick, you can get a fantastic launch deal that includes the new Huawei M-Pencil Pro stylus for free, saving you £129.99.
The tablet’s improved ultra-clear PaperMatte Display paired with Huawei’s most advanced stylus plus a suite of apps, including Huawei Notes and GoPaint make this an appealing and affordable option for creatives who want to draw, paint and more on the go.
Huawei MatePad 12 X massive launch deal
The tablet was only just released and we’re still testing it for our review (see our Huawei MatePad 11.5″S review for another recent option from the same brand). The new all-metal unibody design looks sleek and weighs just 555g and measures 5.9mm thick. Flagship-level 3D heat dissipation architecture is said to boost performance by 27% compared with its predecessor.
As for the display, it has high-precision nanoscale etching technology, which Huawei says reduces sparkle by 50% when compared with the previous generation, resulting in a much clearer and more comfortable view.
