On the other hand, when you need to record inspiration temporarily, paper and pen are still the most intuitive and effective tools. Their greatest advantage is that they can get rid of the constraints of text boxes, instead of linear expression like typing, they will tell the whole story in their minds. So the stylus came into being, and with the development of technology, the pressure sensitivity of the pen tip is getting higher and higher, the screen touch delay is getting lower and lower, and the comprehensive experience has made a qualitative leap.
Huawei MatePad Pro and Huawei M-Pencil stylus just launched by Huawei are one of the few paperless productivity tool combinations in the Android tablet camp, and the total selling price is basically maintained within 5,000 yuan, which is acceptable for newcomers in the workplace. In this article, we will analyze their experiences.
Inspiration recording tool at work
In order to better match Huawei MatePad Pro, Huawei M-Pencil adopts magnetic design. When free, the pen can be attached to the long frame at one end of the tablet, and the tablet will charge the stylus to ensure that it can be used directly every time it is picked up.
Thanks to Huawei's full-scene concept, when Huawei M-Pencil is attached to Huawei MatePad Pro for the first time, the tablet will automatically pop up a Bluetooth pairing invitation, and the stylus can be connected to the tablet with one-click confirmation. And after each adsorption, a prompt box will pop up on the tablet to inform Huawei of the remaining power of M-Pencil.
According to the official introduction, Huawei M-Pencil can be used in 30 seconds 10 minute, 1 hour can be fully charged from scratch, providing 10 hour battery life.
Huawei M-Pencil imitates the shape of traditional pencils and adopts a hexagonal pen body design. In order to fit Huawei MatePad Pro more closely, one side of it has been grooved, which is quite firm with magnetic force. When you write with the pen in your hand, the groove can also cater to the side of the middle finger, making the hand feel more secure.
The nib of Huawei M-Pencil adopts detachable design, and a spare nib is provided. When replacing, it can fall off just by gently rotating the pen tip, without any tools, which is very convenient.
As an inspiration recording tool, the most important thing is to be fast and efficient, and Huawei has optimized these two points.
Among them, consumers like it very much, that is, the function of taking shorthand with a pen off the screen. As the name implies, when Huawei MatePad Pro and Huawei M-Pencil are paired, when the screen is closed, the user can start writing by simply touching the screen with the pen tip, and the content will automatically exist in memo App after completion. This process saves a series of redundant steps such as lighting up the screen, unlocking, and selecting the App, which is really efficient and fast.
Adapting to multi-domain software ecology
If we want to study whether Huawei MatePad Pro and Huawei M-Pencil can be called productivity tools, it is not enough to capture inspiration only by stopping the screen and taking shorthand, but also to help users improve their efficiency in their daily work and study.
Huawei M-Pencil provides an ultra-low delay of 20ms, and almost no delay is felt when writing a memo. At the same time, with the pressure of 4096, the stroke thickness can be changed according to the strength, and the strokes with suffix can be reflected when writing.
However, compared with paper with a certain damping feeling, the experience of writing on smooth glass is naturally different, and it still needs a little adaptation in the initial use. Of course, you can also choose to stick a matte protective film on the screen to improve the writing experience to some extent.
In terms of software, Huawei cooperated with My Script, a world-renowned stylus application company, and installed the Nebo For Huawei (notebook) tool on Huawei MatePad Pro. Compared with the original memo, its biggest advantage is that it supports handwritten printing, which can transform our handwritten contents, facilitate sharing with others, and be more conducive to reading by ourselves.
More importantly, Nebo can also meet the needs of fast switching between handwriting and keyboard. The advantage of handwriting is that it can quickly record the main points, and the keyboard is faster for typing, which is suitable for recording longer information. In Nebo, the two input modes can be seamlessly connected and switched freely, which is very convenient.
For student users, Huawei MatePad Pro also has a built-in pen calculator 2 App. Simply put, it is to write a set of mathematical formulas on the panel by hand. As long as the equal sign is drawn, the system will automatically get the result. I believe it is of great use to science and engineering students.
Of course, Huawei MatePad Pro also supports a variety of drawing software, and the software store also provides a special stylus area, covering categories such as note arrangement, drawing design, office study, and practical tools. Judging from the time after product release, the quality and quantity of software are steadily improving.
Summary:
In this efficiency-oriented Internet era, paperless office has become the working mode pursued by white-collar workers. The combination of Huawei MatePad Pro and Huawei M-Pencil not only meets the needs of users to capture inspiration and work/study efficiently, but also can replace notebooks or desktops in light office scenes to provide a lighter and more comfortable experience.
From my experience, both the linkage between Huawei MatePad Pro and Huawei M-Pencil, the writing experience of Huawei M-Pencil itself and the software ecology of Huawei MatePad Pro have reached a satisfactory level. If you often take minutes at work, or as a creator, you need to draw pictures, record inspiration, draw a mirror and so on. Then the combination of Huawei MatePad Pro and Huawei M-Pencil is worth recommending.
