Xiaomi Mi LCD Writing Tablet Design Malaysia
The design of the Mi LCD Writing Tablet is pretty simple and straightforward. It looks like any other tablet in the market, but lacks major core functionality.
I liked how lightweight and sleek the Mi LCD Writing Tablet was and there isn’t much to go on about its primary design.
The Mi LCD Writing Tablet has thick bezels and at the bottom on the front is a large clear button that looks like a menu button, but all it does is clear the screen in case there’s no space left to write anymore.
At the bottom right flank is the lock switch that activates the clear button. If the lock switch is turned on then the clear button will not function as intended.
Also on the right flank is the magnetic strip where the stylus sits and it helps keep the stylus in place when not in use.
If the battery dies, Xiaomi has made it easy to replace the battery. The compartment sits under the back panel of the tablet and can easily be opened to change the CR2025 button cell.
Xiaomi Mi LCD Writing Tablet Display
The Mi LCD Writing Tablet is available in three display size variants; 10-inch, 13.-inch and 20-inch. All three displays are pressure sensitive LCD screens and are super accurate to the touch.
Unlike other LCD screens, the Mi LCD Writing Tablet comes with a special type of display called electrophoretic display which is generally made up of small capsules that contain pigment in electrolyte fluid.
As current passes through the screen, the particles activate and will change the color of the overall screen. As you write on the screen using the stylus the particles under that particular area light up and form words or images depending on what’s being done.
The display does not have any back light and thanks to the technology within the display, not many components are required, making the Mi LCD Writing Tablet rather thin and lightweight.
Xiaomi Mi LCD Writing Tablet Stylus
The stylus that accompanies the Mi LCD Writing Tablet is meant solely to be used on the Mi LCD Writing Tablet.
The tip of the stylus is made from a soft and durable material that will not scratch or ruin the display and from personal experience, the pen is designed to be pressure sensitive like the Apple Pencil and will deliver thin lines or thick lines depending on the amount of pressure applied while writing or drawing.
Since the stylus does not have a built-in battery or requires it to be charged, it’s super lightweight and you’d never have to worry about the pen running out of charge or ink at any point of time.
Xiaomi Mi LCD Writing Tablet Malaysia Functions
The Mi LCD Writing Tablet is created to be used for any purpose. We were able to draw and write on the tablet and it’s one of the best ways we were able to note down points without wasting paper.
It’s super simple to use and all it requires is for the battery to have charge. Simply touching the stylus to the display activated it and to erase the screen, all we had to do was press the clear button located beneath the display.
While drawing we were able to get some nice broad strokes by pressing harder than normal on the screen and by applying minimal pressure the lines were crisp and thin.
The auto-lock function also proved beneficial and prevented us from accidentally losing out on our work. All we had to do was enable the auto-lock function by toggling the button on the side of the body.
Only the storage variant comes with built-in memory and can store more than one page of notes or doodles. The other three standard versions lacked this feature and could handle only a page at a time.
Xiaomi Mi LCD Writing Tablet Malaysia Battery
The Mi LCD Writing Tablet comes with a CR2025 cell battery that sits in the battery compartment situated at the back of the tablet.
The battery is designed for use and throw, so it can not be charged, probably why there wasn’t a charger included in the package.
Each CR2025 cell lasts up to a year and to change the battery when it’s drained, simply pop open the back panel and replace the battery with a new one.
Trust me, the battery looks small, but considering that the Mi LCD Writing Tablet does not have much under the hood, it packs quite a punch.
