Under A Thousand: A Basic Sketch And Scribbler From Redmi

Say the word "tablet" and most gay people will think you're referring to the iPad and its Android rivals. However, not all tablets come with a five-figure price tag. In fact, the most basic ones are under 500 euros and are very popular. This is a basic dark "digital whiteboard" where you (and your tablet's battery) can draw, erase, copy, erase and repeat as long as you (and your tablet's battery) want. They have no connection, color, sound and value. These are usually very low price (starting from 200 rubles) and gray market is popular; You can also find them at your local general store or on the street. They are considered a great choice for children, because they are easy to use and provide space for writing and drawing that are used frequently. Best of all, these tablets don't cost much, so when they break, you can hit the road and get a replacement for the price of a coffee shop.

The problem with these baseboards is that they are often found in the gray market and have poor quality and warranties. Most of the people they meet don't even expect to stay. There are also no established brand offerings. Xiaomi wants to change that with the Redmi Writing Pad.

The basics in the brand package and a beautiful design

At Rs 699, the Redmi Writing Pad might seem a bit expensive for those used to picking up a basic digital whiteboard at half the gray market price. However, one thing to note is that this is a product of India's leading tech brands, unlike the much lower priced options. And it comes with a three-month warranty. This is not a product that you buy with a prayer in your heart and pay very little, hoping that it will work.

It's not pretty, but it works

And surprisingly, everything happened. The Redmi Writing Pad certainly offers the "basic design and design" experience we've seen on a budget tablet. The LCD screen is very basic and prone to hacking, but it's very responsive. The pen is pressure sensitive, and although you can only write in green, you can change the thickness and volume of the writing depending on the surface or angle of the pen.

No color and just handwriting recognition. But we found it fun to write on paper. In fact, the perfect Redmi whiteboard can actually be a doodle that allows you to take quick notes or small sketches. Of course, this is great for children who always draw and write. The lack of color means no eye problems when using this tablet.

The only thing we expect from a tablet is some options for storing content. At this time, the best thing you can do is to stop the deletion by moving the slider to "lock". But it is a properly disposable tool. So, if your child draws a beautiful picture, the only way to save it is to draw it. Yes, you can make sure it's not lost, but the pad doesn't have scrolling capabilities, so you have to turn off the photo before you can write or draw anything. There are no extra pages, no options, and no sounds.

Take it to your child (and use it yourself!).

The responsiveness of the screen and the performance of the pen make the Redmi Writing Pad arguably the best budget digital whiteboard you can get for your kids to draw and sketch on. But you can find yourself. Very convenient to keep on the desk for quick notes; No changes or triggers. So you can literally take your pencil and write quick bullet points or phone number, URL or email id on it. It can also be used in restaurants and cafes; Just drawing orders. This is great in the hands of children, it saves paper, allows creativity and does not burden the eyes. But we are sure that the elderly will have no problem using it. The battery is said to last 20,000 pages (over a year, even at 50 images per day) and is replaceable. And if something goes wrong, you get a three-month warranty.

All this makes the Redmi writing pad a great choice for those who want to create digital sketches and designs without entering the four-digit world. It's well done (albeit a bit flimsy), works well, and is fun in a nice, simple way. Buy for your child, but be careful. You use it often. And without fear of breaking an expensive device.
