MatePad 11.5″S has productivity features similar to a computer, perfect for those who need a new device for work without the weight burden.

The gadget features a PaperMatte display, an advanced technology designed to reduce visual strain. This feature in particular has advanced nanoscale anti-glare etching and reduced reflected light interference, ensuring students can enjoy a clear, crisp and comfortable viewing experience, perfect for long study sessions without eye fatigue.

Aside from visual protection, the tablet comes with SuperHub, which can help students share their screens in face-to-face meetings and class reports as well as easy annotation for virtual study sessions.

PC-level functions have also been integrated into the tablet. MatePad’s built-in productivity apps like Huawei Notes and WPS Office 2.0 can make a student’s life easier.

Those who also want to feel the traditional way of note-taking, the device’s nano-level etching technique paired with the Huawei M-Pencil (3rd generation) can mimic the sound and feel of taking down notes with a paper and a pencil.

Students can avail of the MatePad 11.5”S at its pre-order price of P29,999 until July 4. This promo will also include freebies like a magnetic keyboard, M-Pencil, and Bluetooth mouse.
