First of all, this is the most disappointing product purchased from Huawei brand so far!
Due to work reasons, I don’t often stay in the office. I basically drive around the city to do errands. I occasionally need to use office software and drawing software. Although the notebook is said to be portable, it is still inconvenient to carry around. A charger takes up a lot of space, so a portable tablet that can occasionally remotely control the computer is needed as an auxiliary productivity tool, that is, "light office".
When choosing matepad11, there are mainly several considerations:
Battery: It can be used for more than ten hours and can be charged with any USB-C. It is always available in the car, so you don’t have to worry about lack of power. ;
Network: There is portable WiFi in the car, network connection is convenient, 4G network speed is sufficient, mobile hotspot, and 5G network speed is faster;
Performance: Remote control, practical use What is more important is the performance of office computers, and the requirements for tablet performance are not high. This tablet can display relatively smoothly;
Data traffic: The tablet only maps the transmission data of the desktop image and consumes little;
< p> If you are making pictures and sending them to other people, then the advantage of remote control is that sending large files can also be sent using the network of your office computer, which does not consume the traffic of your mobile phone or hotspot, and often the source file of a picture is in Hundreds of megabytes or more!Display: Comparing ipad, surface, and Honor V7pro,
I originally had an ipad mini, but the display area was too small to see the text on the remote desktop clearly, so I had to I bought a larger tablet, but the display ratio of both iPad and Surface is 4:3. When the remote desktop is actually displayed, it will still be reduced. Surface is a win system, and remote control can be used perfectly. Considering the actual display ratio, these two are still given up!
The display ratio of Honor V7P is the same as that of matepad11. Although there is a slight difference between the display ratio of my notebook D15, the difference is not very big. However, my computer and mobile phone are all old Huawei, and matepad11 is shipped with Hongmeng system. In future office scenarios, there should be certain advantages of the Internet;
When Huawei launches tablet products, it is basically equipped with keyboards, stylus, etc. Judging from the promotional content, "new productivity" can also be regarded as a The point, but the serious misdirection is here!
Mouse! Mouse pointer! Middle mouse button!
I never thought that in order to cater to the Hongmeng system logo, Huawei actually designed the mouse pointer into a boring circle. Even in the built-in WPS of the tablet, the operation is very awkward and inefficient.
The more critical middle mouse button is set to "click once to return, click twice to exit the current app", which makes this problem even more prominent. Friends who make pictures should all know that ps, ai, cdr, su In other software, the function of the middle mouse button cannot be replaced at all;
It is true that in general tablet operations, using the middle mouse button as a shortcut operation for return and exit has its certain convenience. sex; but, as a “new productivity” tool, should Huawei also consider users’ usage habits?
After all, from a logical point of view, if it is only for non-office scene applications such as painting, video, and games, the mouse is basically not used, then the above functions of the mouse pointer and middle button actually have no meaning. ;
When users use tablet external mice, they are basically used for "light office use", so the function of the mouse should adapt to the office environment and should not be defined arbitrarily;
< p>The next best thing is that Huawei should also provide "setting options" for the mouse pointer and middle button functions, allowing users to choose the corresponding scenes and functions, so that the tablet can be used to its maximum potential, not just as a video player. !In order to solve the above problems, I tried to install more than ten remote control software. The only ones with relatively fast response speed and relatively stable performance were Sunflower and AnyDesk, but they were basically unable to fully map the mouse pointer and middle button functions. I gave feedback to Sunflower customer service, and the reply said that mapping the mouse pointer is not a big problem, but the middle mouse button is a system function of the tablet, and it cannot be solved in their software. Huawei can only make adjustments to this!
Searching in the forum, many tablet users have actually questioned this. When old users were in EMUI, the mouse was displayed as an arrow. After upgrading to Hongmeng, it was forced to change to a circle. Many users have reported so far, Huawei has not made any adjustments;
I posted on the Hongmeng section, but never received an official reply;
The feedback from customer service on the official website was only "already collected";
< p> I called Huawei customer service, and they were very nice, but they didn’t solve the above timetable;In this way, a tablet that is promoted as “new productivity” is still just a video player!
Let’s talk about the tablet market again
As we all know, for a long time, the tablet market has been dominated by iPad, and its main users are still mainly games and videos, thanks to iOS System and application ecological advantages, some design creators can also use high-quality creative software developed for iOS by software vendors, and domestic tablet brands are almost irresistible!
Although Huawei has overcome difficulties and struggled to compete in the tablet market in recent years, it has launched different products to suit different groups of people. Among domestic brands, it can be regarded as the only one, but at the end of the day, it is still Based on consumer prices, a product line of "high, medium and low" grades is formed, rather than being oriented by user needs. In terms of product functions, the iPad is always used as a reference object, equipped with a keyboard and a stylus, and that's all. That's it, there is no deeper interpretation of tablet users.
As for tablets, as a product that is not used frequently, for ordinary users, its main functions are only games and videos. If you buy one every few years, it is enough. The mini I bought before is only As an application for video playback and some learning software in schools, over the past few years, although the system has been upgraded every year, there have been some lags, but it has not affected the aforementioned use. Therefore, for ordinary users, the replacement cycle of tablets is likely to be 5-5. About eight years ago, the market for tablet products currently does not seem to be that impressive. Therefore, some brands have never made it a priority!
Huawei should have some plans for the productivity attributes of the tablet in the architecture of the Hongmeng system. However, at present, it does not highlight the uniqueness and productivity advantages of the tablet. From the above mouse pointer, From the definition of the middle mouse button, Huawei's understanding of tablets is just a "tablet" or a "secondary screen" of a computer!
Huawei once had a "cloud computer" service, but it also stopped serving it on August 15 this year. Although it has not been used much, its main function is to restore ordinary computer application scenarios to facilitate use in non-office places. "Light office" uses mobile phones as tools to use cloud computers online through the client to perform document editing, simple image processing and other functions to improve efficiency. It can be seen that Huawei still has some ideas for users who need mobile office, but , failed to achieve complete functions to meet user needs. Therefore, Huawei Cloud Computer came to an end three years after its opening.
However, the needs of mobile office users are still there, and the operability of tablets is far higher than the mobile phone operation envisioned when Huawei Cloud Computer was launched. After all, network speeds are improving and hardware is improving. The screen is also larger, and the convenience of using a tablet as a "mobile office" for remote operation is unmatched by notebooks and mobile phones. For the design industry, maintenance personnel, equipment controllers, and business managers, the application prospects of tablets are actually very broad!
Personal idea: Huawei can completely use the former "cloud computer client" as remote control software (the principles and functions are the same, and the software adaptation is not complicated) to ensure the security of data information. Basically, users can remotely operate their computers through tablets and give full play to their computer's computing power, thereby realizing the cloud computer function of "mobile office". On this basis, combined with Huawei's cloud storage function, editing and sharing files may be more convenient and efficient!
Finally: Although the mouse pointer and middle mouse button are not obvious to game and video users, for mobile office users, they directly affect the use experience and efficiency. Forum Many users have reported that so far, there is no reply that they can expect.
After sorting out these words, I still hope that Huawei can pay attention to it and solve it as soon as possible. At least, it will give users a setting option so that users can choose by themselves!
