Huawei MateBook X Pro review

Posted by jackjaan on November 5th, 2021

This laptop has a limited appeal, mostly because there\'s only an ultra-high-end spec version in the UK, which costs a packet. However, Huawei does a good job of justifying that cost, with great build quality, a sharp and bright screen, and an ambitious haptic touchpad. Read about Huawei MateBook X Pro review.

For

•          Great build quality
•          Sharp screen
•          Solid speakers
•          Intimidating cost
•          Somewhat shallow keyboard
•          Nasty webcam position

Against

Before buying, though, make sure you\'re OK with the webcam placement. It lives in the keyboard, not the screen surround, and may make marathon runners look like Gregg\'s steak bake addicts instead.Also Visit Saving Buyers.

Design

•          Dimensions: 304 x 217 x 14.6mm / Weight: 1.33 kg
•          Aluminium alloy casing

Some laptop makers go off the boil a bit with their top-end laptops. They try out ambitious design ideas, or aim to be the slimmest, lightest, or thinnest. And it doesn\'t always work out that well.

Screen

•          13.9-inch LTPS display, 3000 x 2000 pixel resolution
•          1500:1 contrast (1204:1 as measured)
•          488 nits brightest (as measured)
•          The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2021\'s screen is another hit - in most respects at least.

It\'s a 13.9-inch panel and much sharper than the Full HD panels used in the base-level models of other pricey rivals. And wile 4K laptops like the (even pricier) HP Spectre X360 are sharper still, this Huawei gets close enough for the difference not to be immediately apparent. It makes us wonder why more companies haven\'t used these \'3K\' resolution panels.

Performance

•          Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU
•          16GB LPDDR4x (4266MHz) RAM
•          1TB NVMe SSD

It would be a stretch to call the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2021 a true performance laptop. It has, like almost all its rivals, a low-voltage Intel processor designed to generate minimal heat so it can fit into these slim and light laptop shells. Visit Shomdom.
