I've been looking for the best tablet within my current budget.

I want something that can do a little bit of everything that I want.

-Drawing
-media
-light gaming
-light editing

For drawing I want a pen that has pressure.

I end up with these:

Ipad 11 A16 - Good processor but 60hz screen and Apple pencil first generation is pricey (maybe can find a cheaper second hand). I also don't have other Apple device and have zero experience with iOS.

Huawei Mate 11.5 - Good pen, Good price, Good screen but lacking playstore, need third party app for it and so-so for media consumption since it limits the quality of certain apps. (at least from the review on youtube)

Lenovo Idea Tab Pro - okay pen, great size but concerning reviews. Screen not bright enough/lag while multi tasking etc.

Xiaomi Pad 7 - It seems good, the pen is extra cost, not as much as Apple pencil. Some people seems to say it's stable and fast. And others say HyperOS is not good. "good spec, bad software" they say.


Also apparently Poco is releasing a clone of Xiaomi pad 7 called Poco pad X1. Not sure how much the price will differ or if there's a difference in software.


All these tablet I can get for under 1800, at least at this moment I'm writing this.

Any advice and suggestion is highly appreciated.

I'm using Xiaomi Pad 7, bought the original pen also for rm200+ (no aftermarket pen works with this pad - the palm rejection fail).

After using it a while (for my study) - i feel writing with the pen macam not that syok. My daugher using Ipad Air is better (we dont have ipad 11th gen but i think experience wise same2 la, processor je different).

The Pad 7 gaming wise ok la, i tried loading up switch emulator but terribly failed (not enough power). Genshin and the norm loads ok (you can also check on youtube). There were couple of times where the touchscreen gone crazy (doesnt recognize some touch and pen input). Intermittent - I dont know but very annoying especially when it happens during class.

No experience with Huawei and Lenovo tho.
