HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – Here’s 6 Awesome Ways HUAWEI’s Latest Tablet Offers the Power and Versatility of a PC and Tablet in One Slim Design
Being productive on the go whether you’re a student hustling between classes or a mobile worker getting through a gruelling day of reports typically requires users to tote around a hefty laptop. While slim and light ultraportable laptops exist, they also happen to be expensive and while powerful laptops exist, they not only cost more but are usually heavier too which is a chore to tote around all day.
On the other hand, users looking to work solely on a phone will discover that many mobile productivity apps on phones or tablets frequently have cut-down or limited features, which leads back to square one – the need for a PC to experience the full functionality of many applications, further compounding the problem.
Fortunately, there is a solution – the new HUAWEI MatePad 12 X that offers a PC-like experience in a compact tablet form factor. Here’s 6 awesome ways that the new HUAWEI MatePad 12 X blends the power and versatility of a PC and a tablet in one super slim form factor.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – Light and slim design with all-day battery life

The HUAWEI MatePad 12 X weighs just 555g on its own which is effectively half the weight of the lightest ultraportable laptops. Where the magic happens is when it is paired with its companion HUAWEI Smart Magnetic keyboard that weighs just 308g while offering a typing experience matching a full-fledged laptop. Combined, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X and Smart Magnetic Keyboard weigh just 863g which makes it ideal for all-day carry in a backpack or handbag.
Better yet, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X also has a massive 10,100mAh battery with 66W Turbo Fast Charging support along with a bundled fast charger for all-day battery life and fast charging support anytime, anywhere with a full charge needing just 85 minutes. When fully juiced, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X offers 12 hours of web browsing or 14 hours of local video playback as well as up to 8 hours of intensive usage, making it ideal for a full day’s worth of work or classes.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – PC-level WPS Suite with HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard for PC-grade productivity
To offer a superior PC-like typing experience, the bundled HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard has been designed to match the typing experience of a laptop with 1.5mm high key travel and large 16mm key caps along with two alternative placement positions for the tablet to ensure comfortable viewing of the display whether it’s on your lap on the go or on a desk.
The HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard also features NearLink technology, allowing for fast, seamless pairing and instantaneous key press response times for a natural typing experience.
Where the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X takes productivity up to the next level is that it includes a free, full-featured copy of PC-level WPS Office which offers a full-array of features matching competing desktop productivity suites to write documents, calculate spreadsheets and also create presentations.
PC-level WPS Office also integrates features that typically are only available on desktop versions of productivity software such as inserting formulas and running Chart Tools such as that seen in Microsoft Excel and the ability to rehearse presentations too such as in PowerPoint.
In fact, PC-level WPS Office has 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office 365 formats including Microsoft Word Doc files, PowerPoint PPT files and Excel Xls files too. The best part? PC-level WPS Office is free forever with the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X and doesn’t require subscription fees so that you can stay productive for years to come.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – Take notes like a pro with HUAWEI Notes app and 3rd Gen HUAWEI M-Pencil
Taking notes is part and parcel of modern working life and classes. Rather than having to tote around a bunch of pen-and-paper notebooks, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X can work as a digital notepad and more with the optional 3rd Gen HUAWEI M-Pencil stylus in tandem with the HUAWEI Notes app.
Offering low latency and high sensitivity with over 10,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, the 3rd Gen HUAWEI M-Pencil stylus is able to offer a faithful writing-on-paper sensation when used on the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X’s PaperMatte display, making it a smooth process to put your thoughts to digital paper.
Better yet, the integrated and free HUAWEI Notes application on the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X helps to keep all your written notes neat and organised along with the ability to save audio notes alongside written notes so that you can easily follow what was briefed in a meeting or lecture.
The HUAWEI Notes app also offers split screen note taking as well as the ability to import PDFs into HUAWEI Notes, synchronise and share notes with other devices using HUAWEI Cloud and select reams of text with the bundled lasso tool for easier editing too, making it an extremely versatile and powerful productivity tool.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – Paperlike writing sensation and eyesafe PaperMatte display
Those of us who have to work for long hours on laptops and other devices often find that many such displays incur eye strain over time. The HUAWEI MatePad 12 X addresses this as its special PaperMatte display has been specially designed from the ground up to protect your eyes and ensure comfortable, safe usage even for extended periods of time.
Key to achieving this is the special chemical process used in its manufacture that introduces a microscopic series of striations across its surface much like the surface of a sheet of paper that help to deflect light and glare, making the PaperMatte display much easier to see under all light conditions while also emulating the touch and feel of paper especially when used in tandem with the HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd Gen) stylus.
The bright yet eyesafe 12-inch PaperMatte display not only offers a crisp 2.8K resolution as well a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and up to 1,000 nits peak brightness for excellent clarity indoors and outdoors, it also has an impressive array of not one but four certifications attesting to its eyesafe properties. In fact, the display has SGS Low Visual Fatigue Premium Performance Certification along with TÜV Rheinland Reflection-Free, TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution) and TÜV Rheinland Flicker-Free Certification too.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – Sensuous finish with a luxurious touch
As a constant everyday companion, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X is not only slim and light at 832g with its companion HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard but it has also been crafted to offer unparalleled style and a touch of class too.
In addition to elegantly rounded corners and sleek lines, the chassis utilises a unique Mica Powder finish in your choice of either Greenery or Metallic White colourways that lend it a sensuously smooth touch while repelling fingerprints too.
The HUAWEI Smart Magnetic keyboard itself has also been crafted to complement the tablet, featuring a soothing nano-scale silicone surface that is also resistant to everyday stains.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X – Unbridled artistic creativity with Go Paint app
The HUAWEI MatePad 12 X is ideal not only for productivity but also for creativity tasks too. The combination of its vibrant and paperlike PaperMatte display with its 3rd Gen M-Pencil stylus and the free Go Paint app enable the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X to be a powerful and highly portable digital canvas for artists and content creators who can sketch, draw, paint and more.
The Go Paint app enables the stylus to become a digital pencil, pen, paintbrush, marker and much more with over 150+ different types of brushes, a veritable rainbow of selectable colours, over 10 selectable canvas types as well as up to 655 layers in a single painting to create truly unique works of art.
The latest Go Paint update also offers the ability to create Malaysia’s distinctive Batik drawings on canvas along with new fluid brush and splatter brush effects on demand with the stylus. Best of all? There’s no clean-up or waiting for paint to dry afterwards!
