Was a bit disappointed it doesn't have a micro SD slot. Is there a way to connect usb drives and power to usb-c port simultaneously?

Should be able to use a USB PD hub.

Do you think the Galaxy Tab S7 is a better option?

In terms of software updates and Dex yes. Also has SD 865 Vs 860, type c video and micro SD support. But smaller battery.

£299 for 24 hours tomorrow on the Xiaomi uk site.
Seems quite good for the money I would say.

Potentially 289 with code. I'm still debating.

Do you know how much a keyboard and pen would be?

It sold out within 5 minutes apparently!

I haven't seen the pen and keyboard for sale outside of China yet.

That was disappointing...

I tried to get an S7 from the states for $311 but the order was cancelled by Samsung and now it's sold out.

They probably had 5 for sale. Bait and switch.
