For years, tablets have tried to replace laptops and even though the Apple iPad came extremely close to doing that, there still seems to be no replacement for the laptops. Android tablets still have a long way to got before they start giving laptops a hard time, but the MatePad from Huawei might be giving iPad a run for its money.
