About the Mi Pad 5 series, there are a lot more to say. First is the writing experience: The writing latency is OK and less smoother than the iPad mini & Apple Pencil, but it's still smoother than Surface Go & Surface Pen On the Mi Pad 5(not pro), I think…
The second is still about the writing experience, but this time we focus on the software.
The built-in Note App can create a new page that you can just write whatever you want.
However, unlike the iPad's built-in Note App, The Mi Pad Note App doesn't support writing on the traditional note page or typing on the writing page. You need to select the writing or typing function manually to write or type.
Pic. 3&4 is about how to type words on a writing page and Pic. 5 is about how to write on a typing page.

So why don't we use OneNote?
You can write things with the pen while sliding the pages with your finger.
But you need to press "stop" before you type words, or you won't type anything on it.

We just talked about OneNote, a third-party app. Let's talk about other apps.
Some built-in apps are redesigned for the Mi Pad, like Weather, Mi Music(QQ Music), Mi App Store and even the Mi AI.
But it's not perfect yet.
Like the control center, on the iPad OS you can only call it from the corner of the screen, but on the MIUI for Pad, you can call it from the right half of the screen. (The left half is the notification center.)
So that I can't call the search bar by sliding, which is not very good(in my opinion).
Also, the clean all tabs button is at the corner of the screen and it's so small.

For other third-party apps, MIUI for Pad has a function which is like the 平行视界 on Huawei Pads.
But it's also not perfect.
Like the bilibili, the Chinese niconico/YouTube, the left side always shows the first page of the app, even I open a video from the YouTuber's page.
Of course I can use bilibiliHD xD and I wish more and more Chinese Apps will provide tablet version.

Also, currently the multi-window on MIUI for Pad is not as good as the one on iPad OS
You can't slide the Dock out and slide the icon on dock into a window.
You can only long press the tab in recent tabs to change it into a window.
