Best mid-range tablet runs simultaneously with Android and Linux in review
While Android tablets are primarily used for media consumption and maybe office work, the "Linux Lab" function of Honor OS 10 on the MagicPad4 opens the door to new workflows for an Android tablet. The option of natively integrating a Linux container, which can be controlled directly under Android 16, makes the MagicPad 4 an exciting alternative to a Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra or Apple iPad 13 Pro.
The integration of a Linux environment on the MagicPad 4 also makes the tablet interesting as a developer tool. The Linux Lab, which must first be activated in developer mode, can be used to open the Linux terminal and execute commands. In conjunction with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 including a high single-core performance and a powerful Adreno 829 for GPU performance, Honor offers a very interesting package in the tablet world.
In addition to Linux Lab, the honor tablet also has PC mode for Android
All information about the new Honor mid-range tablet can be found in the review from Notebookcheck. The affordable MagicPad4 offers an excellent price-performance ratio and leaves the iPad competition look really overpriced. The RRP of the MagicPad 4 starts at around $750 as a complete package with pen and keyboard cover. However, it is not officially sold in the US.
For those who don't like Linux, the MagicPad4 also offers a PC mode with a Wíndows-like user interface and window management for android. But the Honor tablet also has a lot to offer beyond productive work. In our review, we will focus on the large OLED panel and the Speaker system in more detail.
