Xiaomi releases tablet knockoff that literally has iPad Pro in the name

The Ars Technica link in the article has a much less click-baity take on it. For those specs and at that price point if I had the money at the moment I definitely would get one.

I mean sure .... it is called the Mi Pad 5 Pro but what the heck - Would it be better to have called it the Mi Tab 5 Pro (aka a Samsung 'knock-off')?

Highly doubt that anyone looking for an iPad would get confused... Why would an Apple product have a name like Xiaomi in it? And even if someone was that 'confused' - in these days of internet commerce, a refund is just an e-mail away.

Sure. I get why a site like 9to5Mac might be ever so slightly biased but boy - haven't they heard of the Streisand Effect?
