These are the best tablets you can buy in Malaysia for under RM2,000 – Nov 2022 edition

If you’re looking for the best tablets for under RM2,000, you’ve come to the right place. Fatin from SoyaCincau BM has compiled five different tablets that would be able to suit whatever you need in one. So, whether you’re looking for something with a stylus pen, something light, or something with a powerful battery, these are what she recommends that won’t break the bank.

Huawei MatePad 11

The Huawei MatePad 11 is a great choice for something that costs under RM2,000, especially as it’s a tablet that comes with its own Huawei M-Pencil. With the pencil, you’re able to expand your tablet use by being able to draw and write down notes without typing anything. You can even pair it with the Huawei Smart Magnetic Keyboard that it comes with.

Powered by a flagship-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 system-on-chip, the MatePad 11 is mated to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. However, as it is a Huawei device, it does mean that you won’t get Google Mobile Services on the MatePad 11. Instead, it’ll come with Huawei’s own HarmonyOS 2 and Huawei AppGallery.

The Huawei MatePad 11 is priced at RM1,999.
