General Info
The Huawei Matebook 14s is a stunning kit available in spruce green and space grey with a solid aluminium-alloy body and a glossy, matte finish. If you want your next laptop to have a sleek, modern and professional look, you’ve come to the right place. Not only does it look good, but it also measures 313.82 x 229.76 x 16.7 mm and weighs 1.43 kg, making it slim and lightweight, making it ideal for everyday carrying.
Huawei laptops have one standard design issue. It’s a webcam placement. To save space on the bezel, they put it on the keyboard, but in the age of video calling and remote work, it means an unpleasant angle from under your chin. So it’s great to see it returned to its original position at the top of the screen. However, Huawei still achieves a 90% screen-to-body ratio, so you didn’t have to sacrifice bezel thickness.
The power button also acts as a fingerprint sensor to unlock the display, so you can turn it on and press the same button to open it. If necessary, there is also IR face recognition here. Typing is just as satisfying, with a full-sized thin keyboard with plenty of space and an essential movement of 1.5mm. Very quiet to use. The keyboard is very comfortable for typing long documents and very suitable for touch typing. Second, when it comes to touchpads, it’s extensive, responsive, and accurate, so it’s okay.
The Huawei MateBook 14s offers 3.2 USB-C ports that support data, charging and DisplayPort. A USB-A 1 Gen3,5 port, full-size HDMI, and a 6mm headphone/microphone combo jack. The wireless connectivity section includes a quick pairing of Wi-Fi 5.1 (ax) with 2×2 MIMO, Bluetooth XNUMX, and Bluetooth headphones.
Huawei’s “HUAWEI MateBook X Pro” is a high-end notebook PC equipped with a 13.9-inch display with an aspect ratio of 3: 2. This one, which has a thin and lightweight body that is easy to carry and has the elements required for business terminals condensed tightly, is a one-week work for the author who works in a wide range of situations from home to on the go.
HUAWEI MateBook X Pro has a new CPU installed from the conventional model released in 2020. It is equipped with the latest 11th generation Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor. It is also characterized by its high affinity with the business style of carrying a large amount of data with its easy-to-manage storage capacity of 16GB memory and 1TB SSD. In addition, the 13.2-inch display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 Pixel.
As a feature of this notebook computer, I would like to mention the aspect ratio (aspect ratio) of the 13.9-inch display installed in this product. The 16: 9 aspect ratio is the mainstream for laptop displays and monitors, but this product uses 3: 2, slightly more comprehensive than that. This has an excellent effect on office use.
By the way, the fact that the screen has become larger vertically means that the size of the main body has become more extensive or heavier. You might think that. But with the MateBook X Pro 2021, you don’t have to worry about that. The thickness of this product is 14.6mm, and the weight is 1.33kg, which is thin and light.
Conclusion!
The Huawei MateBook 14s is convinced of its first-class performance values ​​, excellent 14.2-inch display, perfect equipment package, great sound, and elegant case. There were minor shortcomings with the touchpad. The device left a somewhat shaky impression when used. The biggest weakness is the battery life – it should have been better than the direct competition.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro proves to be a chic, stable and reliable everyday laptop that is nice and light and shines with a lot of storage space. The glossy display might not please everyone, but the presentation is excellent. The webcam, which can be retracted into the keyboard, is a brilliant idea and saves the annoying masking off. There are many lights and shadows: the system partition is too small ex-works, and the properly working Core i7 processor sometimes makes the laptop quite hot. In addition to the good-sounding speakers, Huawei should also dare to mill ventilation slots in the display.
