The new Honor MagicPad 4 is currently one of the best tablets on the market. Thanks to the large 12.3-inch OLED screen, the Android tablet with its desktop mode is also ideal as a laptop replacement. Following our review, we now take a closer look at the keyboard cover as an accessory.

This is a disappointing article. I was looking for a potential notebook replacement, as mentioned in the title, but this was nothing more than a thinly veiled ad and product feature reel.

Besides generic device praise, the only honest notebook-use-case evaluation was the brief mention of the touchpad issue, which would seem to be a critical consideration for its performance as a notebook. Instead of honestly assessing the limitation, you call the touchpad obsolete and ignore it. I would argue if you're evaluating the device as a notebook, this issue completely disqualifies it.

Not to mention there's no other real "notebook replacement" evaluation. How does this handle use-cases for notebooks?
