For the last few years, the tablet market has really been the iPad market and just this week we just heard about Apple's new 9.7 inch iPad[1] targeted towards the educational market.
It turns out, there are still some interesting Android tablets and the new Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro[2] may be one of the best for the business who doesn't want to use an iPad. We typically see Android tablets running older versions of Android on hardware that is a bit dated, but that is not the case with this new Huawei tablet.
The MediaPad M5 Pro has all the key Huawei design elements we've seen on its phones, such as the 2.5D curved glass display, aluminum body, massive battery, high-end processor, latest version of Android 8 Oreo, and more. It's a tablet focused on using it in landscape orientation, along with a stylus to add more functionality.
