As a versatile device that people use on-the-go, a tablet is often chosen for its portability

Made from magnesium alloy metal, the next-generation HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11 has a thickness of merely 5.9mm and weighs only 449g, making it the brand's thinnest and lightest 11-inch flagship tablet to date. As the lightest 11-inch tablet available in the market, it'll be super easy to carry around with you wherever you go.

Designed for the workplace elite, students, and content creators, the all-new HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11 also comes with a premium design and tonnes of other cool features like an 11-inch OLED HUAWEI FullView Display and a butter-smooth 120Hz high refresh rate.

The premium tablet gives you PC-level productivity even when you're on-the-go, allowing you to have professional office experiences and display pro-level creativity.

Let's take a closer look at the specs of the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11:

1. Enjoy the benefits of a big screen that accurately displays colours

With a 92% screen-to-body ratio and bezels stripped back to 4.2mm on four sides, the tablet is practically borderless. It also features an 11-inch OLED HUAWEI FullView Display and has a 10-bit colour depth that can display 1.07 billion colours.

Additionally, the pro-level color accuracy and a ΔE<1 rating* make this screen comparable to a professional monitor. It is also the only tablet in the market that passed all tests required to gain TÜV Rheinland's Full Care Display 3.0 Certification, so you can rest assured that your eyes will be comfortable and protected while you use it.

*Used to represent colour accuracy. The lesser the value, the more closer it is to matching what the human eye receives, making it more accurate.

2. It is the first HUAWEI flagship tablet with a high 120Hz refresh rate for a smooth user experience

Check out some of the benefits of having a butter-smooth refresh rate:

- When paired with a HUAWEI M-Pencil (2nd generation), you'll be able to write with a lower latency (a.k.a. no lag) when taking notes on your tablet

- When you slide to browse a web page or file, ghost images and frame freezing will be effectively reduced, giving you a smooth and uninterrupted reading experience

- You can play more games that support high frame rates. Plus, image presentation and transitions are smoother. The touch control algorithm is also optimised to shorten the touch control response time.

3. To truly get the most out of the tablet, pair it with HUAWEI's Smart Magnetic Keyboard for optimal efficiency

Watch the video below:

A hidden floating antenna is embedded in the back of the keyboard to amplify signals from the tablet. The new detachable Smart Magnetic Keyboard supports three modes — laptop form, detachable form, and studio form.

Laptop form
The tablet magnetically connects and pairs with the keyboard using Bluetooth, allowing it to function like a traditional laptop. The keyboard can also be wirelessly charged this way.

Detachable form
The keyboard can remain physically separated from the tablet, but wirelessly connected using Bluetooth. This will come in especially handy when you're working somewhere with not much space, like on a train or plane, where the tray table may be at an awkward angle to type on.

Studio form
The keyboard stand supports 120° to 165° angle adjustments and offers stable support at all angles. To offer a PC-like experience, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11 increases the key travel to 1.5mm for greater typing comfort and more efficient input. What's more, the key layout has been optimised, with the keycap being increased to 15mm.

4. You can also pair the tablet with the upgraded HUAWEI M-Pencil (2nd generation) if you prefer to write instead of type

The new HUAWEI M-Pencil (2nd generation) retains the excellent hardware capabilities of its predecessor, while comprehensively upgrading its appearance, materials, and writing experience.

When paired with the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11, its latency is as low as 2ms, which promises a smooth and comfortable writing experience. Another new feature of the new M-Pencil is that you can now take mixed snippet capturing — draw a circle or an oblique line to capture an image, or long press to select text.

5. The MatePad Pro 11 works perfectly with your other HUAWEI devices

If you use other HUAWEI devices like their smartphones or laptops, the MatePad Pro 11 will be the perfect companion to them. Thanks to HUAWEI Super Devices, all of the brand's devices connect seamlessly with each other, creating an inter-connected ecosystem that allows you to multi-task like a pro.

For example, you can connect the tablet with the brand new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro that's equipped with 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260P Processor for another level of productivity.

Start a project on the MateBook and finish it on the MatePad Pro 11, use your screens side by side to extend your workspace, and even start a presentation on your MateBook and rehearse it on your MatePad Pro 11 while you're on the go.

Available in a stunning Golden Black colour, prices for the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11 start from RM2,999

The pre-order period is from 19 to 26 August, and you'll get freebies worth up to a total of RM1,298, including the HUAWEI M-pencil (2nd generation) and Smart Magnetic Keyboard.
