\nThe screen bezels are the same on all sides.\u00a0The screen occupies 87% of the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe front surface, which is very good for a tablet.\u00a0The front camera was placed at the top.<\/p>\n
Top-end tablets may well replace a compact laptop or become an excellent platform for games.\u00a0HUAWEI MatePad Air was created with an eye on more serious use than watching TV shows.\u00a0This is evidenced by the equipment with a keyboard and unusual screen proportions.\u00a0But first things first.<\/p>\n
Although the model was called Air, it did not become cardinally lighter compared to other tablets – all the same half a kilo.\u00a0But in terms of thickness, it turned out to be almost a millimeter more modest than HUAWEI MatePad 11 inches 2023.<\/p>\n
The tablet has an unusual 3:2 aspect ratio. This is a recent trend: we are increasingly sitting on social networks or reading content online, and in a horizontal position, more information fits vertically on such a screen than in the 16:9 version. Widescreen videos are displayed with small black bars at the top and bottom, but given the large diagonal of the screen, this does not cause discomfort.<\/p>\n

There is no audio jack here – only USB-C.\u00a0Orient it down, then on the right side there will be volume keys, on top – the on \/ off button of the device.\u00a0In the design, there was a place for as many as four speakers – they are focused on the horizontal use of the tablet, in this case they are located on the right and left.<\/p>\n
Keyboard case included.\u00a0It consists of two parts: the actual keyboard and the top cover that covers the back of the tablet.\u00a0All mounts are magnetic.\u00a0That is, the cover “sticks” to the tablet and a special strip on the section with the keyboard.\u00a0The dimensions of the case are selected in such a way that they do not protrude beyond the edges of the device.<\/p>\n

\nBy the way, the keyboard can be disconnected from the tablet and used from a distance. Although both gadgets have contacts to connect, they exchange information via Bluetooth. Accordingly, as long as there is enough battery capacity in the keyboard, you can work with it separately. Connection occurs automatically when you place the tablet on the keyboard.<\/p>\n
It can be quite unexpected to see an IPS-matrix screen in a flagship tablet.\u00a0After all, even the HUAWEI MatePad Pro (2022) had OLED.\u00a0But, strictly speaking, each of the types of matrices has its own advantages, so it makes no sense to argue which one is better.\u00a0For example, IPS does not have PWM, so even at low brightness there is no discomfort from fast flickering.\u00a0Also, such a matrix is \u200b\u200bnot prone to burnout and the appearance of artifacts during operation.\u00a0By the way, the 2022 iPad also has IPS, and no one is outraged about this.\u00a0If OLED is important to you, you can consider the same HUAWEI MatePad Pro.<\/p>\n
