Xiaomi's first tablet has its fair share of flaws. Unlike its smartphone offerings, this one seems more like a 'work in progress' affair. That doesn't mean it's not well put up though.
Although it borrows heavily from Apple's iPad Mini with more than just the looks, it crams in top notch hardware that gives the Nexus 9 some serious run for the money. The fact that we are keeping the Mi Pad in the same league as the iPad Mini and the Nexus 9 speaks a lot about the device as a product, especially since it costs peanuts to own the Mi Pad.
Considering Xiaomi's track record though, the Mi Pad somehow doesn't fit right in its ecosystem. Yes, it does have Nvidia Tegra K1 and other such novelties but somehow it just doesn't end up completely satisfying the value for money quotient that we have grown to associate with Xiaomi's devices.
Nevertheless, if you're looking for a top of the line gaming tablet in the budget category, the Mi Pad is just what the doctor ordered for you. You'll be blown away by its crazy graphics and smooth, lag-free experience barring some scaling issues here and there.
The best part is you won't have to go through the grueling ordeal of a flash sale to grab on to this one.
