Huawei mediapad M5

Has anyone got their hands on one of these yet? Am looking at a new tablet and was about to order the M3 when they announced the M5. I also tried to convince myself to get an iPad but I have an Android ecosystem and I like the expandable memory and standard connections over the apple versions of everything.

I had an extended 'play' with one (10" version) during a recent 'Huawei day' at work.
Beautiful tablet, silky smooth and very quick.  Played videos very well, great quality sound from the 4 (Harmon Kardon?) speakers.
Downsides: no audio jack socket (usb C dongle thingy), and probable lack of cases, covers, screen protectors, etc.
If you use bluetooth headphones I'd go for it, if not, its another cable/dongle thing to carry (or, in my case, lose).

Thought they'd be pretty good. Shame they were pricey as I recall as I ended up finding a 2018 iPad 128gb for £315 and risked dipping my toe in the world of apple. Can't say it's awful but I definitely prefer Android and I think the other Android tablets I've used have been quicker with a more solid feel (the iPad screen flexes). That said, I wanted a decent model and the equivalent Android tablet couldn't compete on price to the iPad unfortunately

Maybe wait for the upcoming Tab S4, or pick up a Tab S3 cheap?

if I hadn't already bought the iPad then I might have done
