Huawei MatePad 11.5 makes multitasking, creativity, and learning more accessible
Tablets have grown fast over the last two years: better multitasking, more power, glare-free displays. But all these features remain limited to the premium models that are often too expensive for students and young professionals. Affordable tablets, on the other hand, often feel like a compromise. You get the form factor, but not the experience. The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 aims to change that. This new tablet offers not just a comfortable paper-like screen that banishes glare, but also a powerful creative toolkit with enhanced note-taking, all surprisingly accessible at its price point. Combine this with desktop-level office software, versatile multitasking, and a slim, lightweight build housing an impressive battery, and you've got a tablet designed to redefine what it means to learn and work on the go. Eye-Friendly Screen The first thing that the MatePad 11.5 offers as a student's tablet is an extremely comfortable screen that feels like paper. The 11.5-inch PaperMatte Display comes with enhanced anti-glare and anti-reflective layers with paper-like comfort that stays sharp and vivid even under bright lighting. Through nano-level anti-glare etching technology, which forms hundreds of millions of nano-texture structures on the screen surface, to eliminate 99% of light interference. In practice, that means more legible text and steadier contrast under harsh lights. The PaperMatte Display provides unprecedented anti-glare capabilities, eye-soothing effects, and a silky smooth pen-on-paper writing experience. This tablet effectively tackles the problem of distracting glare that tablet users encounter and turns out to be a major roadblock to the wider adoption of tablets for learning purposes. Creative toolkit for students More than just a notetaking app, the upgraded HUAWEI Notes is designed as a complete toolkit for students. Combined with the M-Pencil (3rd generation), the HUAWEI Notes make learning all the more fun and engaging. From a vibrant array of stickers to note covers and brush types, the notes app offers plenty of room for personalisation. The Resource Centre offers a stunning array of note covers, papers, and stickers, so you can customise your notes to your own style, making them more functional and adding a personal touch. The AI Handwriting Enhancement tool makes your lecture notes remarkably more adaptable. You can use the lasso tool to select any handwriting, then tap Handwriting Enhance and choose your desired font and level. This feature enhances and refines your handwriting based on your preferred style. Currently, two English fonts are supported: Crescent and Gibbous. Since its launch last year, GoPaint, Huawei's own digital painting app, has made its mark in the world of digital art. Now, the MatePad 11.5 is the most affordable way to get access to this pro-level painting app with a sophisticated array of tools and brushes to satisfy seasoned artists, yet intuitive and easy to understand for enthusiasts. The app comes with the tablet and requires no extra purchase. Office ready The MatePad 11.5 has the software chops for light office tasks with a full PC-level WPS office suite, detachable smart keyboard, and multitasking optimisations. Unlike typical mobile office suites, the WPS suite on the MatePad offers functional optimisations and an interface similar to that of its desktop version. Spreadsheets, presentations, and formulas offer a nearly identical experience to their desktop counterparts, enabling seamless switching between PC and tablet for efficient work. Since the tablet supports the detachable HUAWEI Smart Keyboard, users can easily turn it into a laptop-like configuration and even use an external mouse for even more flexibility. When paired with the keyboard, users can use common app/system shortcut keys to perform complex office operations. A mouse pointer appears on the screen when an external mouse is connected for precise cursor control and selection. With split-screen and multi-window support, users can keep documents, spreadsheets, and chats open side by side, effectively turning the tablet into an on-the-go workstation. Sleek but mighty The unibody design of the feels durable and sturdy, yet only weighs 515g and measures 6.1mm thick, 10% less than its predecessors. When you are reading or using a tablet handheld for a considerable amount of time, any bit of weight reduction makes a huge difference. But most tablets struggle to balance between slimness and battery life. Within its compact body, though, the MatePad 11.5 holds a huge 10,100 mAh battery, a remarkable 30% increase over its predecessor and delivering over 14 hours of uninterrupted local video playback. What's more, with 40 W HUAWEI SuperCharge, it reaches full charge in just 94 minutes.

The Powerhouse of Investment
Stop Telling People to 'Just Save More Money' – Here's the Real Hot Take We've all heard it. The go-to, seemingly universal financial advice: 'Just save more money.' It sounds simple, responsible, and… frankly, a little lazy. While the intention is good, this oversimplified mantra often overlooks a crucial point and can even lead people to financial disappointment in the long run. My hot take? Your savings rate is only half the battle. The real game-changer is your investment strategy. Think about it. You diligently squirrel away every extra dollar, proud of your growing savings account balance. But what's that money doing? In today's economic climate, with inflation stubbornly eroding purchasing power, simply hoarding cash can be a surprisingly ineffective strategy. That dollar you diligently saved last year buys less this year. It's a silent erosion of your financial future. The Myth of the Mattress (and Low-Yield Savings) Stashing cash under your mattress (or in a low-interest savings account that barely keeps pace with inflation) is akin to treading water while the current pulls you backward. Your nominal balance might increase, but its real value – what it can buy – diminishes over time. Inflation is the silent thief of your savings. The Powerhouse of Investment This is where the often-overlooked 'I-word' comes in: investing. A well-crafted investment strategy, tailored to your risk tolerance and time horizon, offers the potential to outpace inflation and grow your wealth exponentially through the magic of compounding. Beating the Inflation Beast: Investing in a diversified portfolio of assets like stocks, bonds, and even real estate provides the opportunity for your money to grow at a rate that historically surpasses inflation. This is how you truly build and preserve wealth. Compounding: The Eighth Wonder: Albert Einstein supposedly called compound interest the 'eighth wonder of the world.' When your investments generate returns, and those returns are reinvested, they start earning their own returns. Over time, this snowball effect can dwarf the impact of simply saving more. Strategic Risk vs. Stagnant Safety: Yes, investing involves risk. But staying entirely in cash also carries a significant risk – the certainty of losing purchasing power to inflation. A thoughtful investment approach involves understanding and managing risk, not avoiding it altogether. It's Not Just How Much You Save, But Where You Grow So, the next time someone tells you to 'just save more money,' gently push back. Explain that while saving is fundamental, it's the strategic allocation of those savings into appreciating assets that truly builds long-term financial security. Here's the real advice: Establish a Budget: Know where your money is going. Save Consistently: Make saving a non-negotiable part of your financial routine. Educate Yourself on Investing: Understand different asset classes and investment strategies. Develop an Investment Plan: Tailor it to your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Start Investing Early (Even Small Amounts): Time in the market beats timing the market. Review and Adjust: Your financial situation and goals will evolve, so your investment plan should too. Let's shift the conversation from the simplistic 'save more' to the more empowering and effective 'invest strategically.' Your future self will thank you.

Trump-Putin summit ends with no ceasefire in Ukraine war
A highly anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin yielded no agreement to resolve or pause Moscow's war in Ukraine, although both leaders described the talks as productive before heading home. During a brief appearance before the media following Friday's nearly three-hour meeting in Alaska, the two leaders said they had made progress on unspecified issues. But they offered no details and took no questions, with the normally loquacious Trump ignoring shouted questions from reporters. "We've made some headway," Trump said, standing in front of a backdrop that read, "Pursuing Peace." "There's no deal until there's a deal," he added. The talks did not initially appear to have produced meaningful steps toward a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, the deadliest conflict in Europe in 80 years, a goal Trump had set ahead of the summit. But simply sitting down face-to-face with the US president represented a victory for Putin, who had been ostracized by Western leaders since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Following the summit, Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity that he would hold off on imposing tariffs on China for buying Russian oil after making progress with Putin. He did not mention India, another major buyer of Russian crude, which has been slapped with a total 50 per cent tariff on US imports that includes a 25 per cent penalty for the imports from Russia. "Because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that now," Trump said of Chinese tariffs. "I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now." Trump has threatened sanctions on Moscow as well but has thus far not followed through, even after Putin ignored a Trump-imposed ceasefire deadline earlier this month. In the Fox News interview, Trump also suggested a meeting would now be set up between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which he might also attend. He gave no further details on who was organizing the meeting or when it might be. Putin made no mention of meeting Zelenskyy when speaking to reporters earlier. He said he expected Ukraine and its European allies to accept the results of the US-Russia negotiation constructively and not try to "disrupt the emerging progress." He also repeated Moscow's long-held position that what Russia claims to be the "root causes" of the conflict must be eliminated to reach a long-term peace, a sign he remains resistant to a ceasefire. There was no immediate reaction from Kyiv to the summit, the first meeting between Putin and a US president since the war began. 'GOTTA MAKE A DEAL' Trump signaled that he discussed potential land swaps and security guarantees for Ukraine with Putin, telling Hannity: "I think those are points that we negotiated, and those are points that we largely have agreed on." "I think we're pretty close to a deal," he said, adding: "Ukraine has to agree to it. Maybe they'll say no." When asked by Hannity what he would advise Zelenskiy, Trump said, "Gotta make a deal." "Look, Russia is a very big power, and they're not," Trump added. The war has killed or injured well over a million people from both sides, including thousands of mostly Ukrainian civilians, according to analysts. Zelenskyy has ruled out formally handing Moscow any territory and is also seeking a security guarantee backed by the United States. Trump said he would call Zelenskyy and NATO leaders to update them on the Alaska talks. Trump was due to arrive back in Washington early on Saturday morning. As the two leaders were talking, the war raged on, with most eastern Ukrainian regions under air raid alerts. Governors of Russia's Rostov and Bryansk regions reported that some of their territories were under Ukrainian drone attacks. Russia's air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 29 Ukrainian drones overnight over various Russian regions, including 10 downed over the Rostov region, RIA agency reported on Saturday, citing the Russian defense ministry. Ukraine's Air Force said frontline territories in the Sumy, Donetsk, Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions were targeted in overnight strikes by Russia. Ukrainian air defense units destroyed 61 of the 85 drones launched, it said. The anticlimactic end to the closely watched summit was in stark contrast to the pomp and circumstance with which it began. When Putin arrived at an Air Force base in Alaska, a red carpet awaited him, where Trump greeted the Russian president warmly as US military aircraft flew overhead. Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court, accused of the war crime of deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. Russia denies the allegations, and the Kremlin has dismissed the ICC warrant as null and void. Russia and the United States are not members of the court. 'NEXT TIME IN MOSCOW' Zelenskyy, who was not invited to Alaska, and his European allies had feared Trump might sell out Ukraine by essentially freezing the conflict and recognising - if only informally - Russian control over one-fifth of Ukraine. Trump had sought to assuage such concerns on Friday ahead of the talks, saying he would let Ukraine decide on any possible territorial concessions. Asked what would make the meeting a success, he told reporters: "I want to see a ceasefire rapidly...I'm not going to be happy if it's not today...I want the killing to stop." The meeting also included US Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Trump's special envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff; Russian foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov; and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Trump, who said during his presidential campaign that he would end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, conceded on Thursday it had proven a tougher task than he had expected. He had said if Friday's talks went well, quickly arranging a second, three-way summit with Zelenskyy would be more important than his encounter with Putin. Trump ended his remarks on Friday by telling Putin, "I'd like to thank you very much, and we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon." "Next time in Moscow," a smiling Putin responded in English. Trump said he might "get a little heat on that one" but that he could "possibly see it happening.". Zelenskyy said ahead of Friday's summit that the meeting should open the way for a "just peace" and three-way talks that included him, but added that Russia was continuing to wage war. "It's time to end the war, and the necessary steps must be taken by Russia. We are counting on America," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.
