Uhm.. rather than comparing it to an iPad Pro - which isn't running the same OS, why not compare it to say the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ or Ultra?

It's exceptionally unlikely anyone in the market for a Huawei tablet is ever going to be considering an iPad of any kind, and I can tell you point blank, iPad owners would have zero interest in anything Android.

So it's like comparing a shark to a crocodile and seeing what's different. I mean, sure.. why not? But what's the actual point?

Professional use for an iPad is either drawing where iPad has no competition in consumer tablets (predictive drawing with zero perceived lag, I am using it since the first iPad Pro and it keeps getting better) or running desktop apps that Android cannot do simply because are no real desktops with Arm chips while Apple has already tens of millions laptops and desktops on their Arm CPUs.

This tablet can be much much better alternative for the basic iPad with better screen and cheaper keyboard accessories. Great for email, docs and video meetings. But not even close to professional use.

It has it own OS (Harmony) that doesn't recognize Google Play. You cannot use Gmail, Google docs, sheets, One Note, Google MAP!!!
Apps may be downloaded through PETAL would would either look different in configuration and will work differently (and not in a user-friendly way!)
YouTube is weird same with Pinterest, Twitter won't connect and so many more! Adobe apps cannot be installed so you need a different PDF reader for your documents. A different app for your markups. Sketch apps are limited.
Sure it has a good body, responsive screens, great color, good pen, good keyboard. But without Google Play this is crap. Designed just for streaming apps and Huawei apps.

No one should buy a Huawei product, not even a smartwatch.

Huawei is a condemned company, the sanctions on it will only intensify and escalate. In fact, all tech review websites should calmly ignore anything related to Huawei now.

That's what it deserves for collaborating with the Chinese military and stealing technology from other countries. Good riddance.
