TRUE ELEMENTS PRO PRO
We’re serious fans of screens with tiny bezels, so by giving over so much space to its display, the MateBook X Pro is undoubtedly eye-catching. In comparison, the original MateBook had a ratio of 84%. Huawei claims that the MateBook X Pro is the world’s first ‘FullView’ notebook, with a 91% screen to body ratio. This keeps the overall size of the laptop down to just under 12 inches wide. The 13.9-inch IPS (in-plane switching) screen now has impressively thin, 4.4mm bezels surrounding it. It’s little touches like this that help Huawei’s laptop stand out from the competition.

This is thanks to the fingerprint sensor being a hardware-level part, meaning it’s controlled directly by the processor, not by Windows 10 – of course, it still works with Windows Hello. We’re getting similar numbers in our testing. Huawei tells us that, from cold startup to logging into Windows 10, it takes just 7.8 seconds to start the machine – and just 6.6 seconds from hibernation. This is an excellent idea, as it means you can turn on the laptop and sign into it with just a single touch. We can actually hear the sound travel across the four distinct audio channels.Ībove the keyboard is the power button, which – like the MateBook X – has a built in fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello. Audio set at 80% volume is loud and impressively nuanced when playing music or movies. On either side of the keyboard are two top-firing, stereo speakers (for a total of four) that support Dolby Atmos, and it shows. This keeps your palms from triggering touches of the trackpad while typing. After a bit of use, we can confidently say that the extra-sized trackpad only helps the experience, with Microsoft’s Precision Touchpad technology and certification resulting in strong palm detection. That said, the travel on these keys is plenty deep for the laptop’s awfully thin profile, and they are just punchy enough on the return from a press to present little to no learning curve from other premium laptops, namely the MacBook.īeneath the deep-and-punchy keyboard rests the large trackpad – which Huawei says is the largest one found on a 14-inch laptop.

There’s a full size keyboard that’s backlit and spill-proof, though we wish the backlighting had more fine control than just a few brightness levels. Simply wedge your thumb or finger under the top of the screen when closed, lift and, as if by Apple-magic, the laptop opens with no awkward clamshell fumbles.
TRUE ELEMENTS PRO PORTABLE
So, despite considerable power within, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is an incredibly portable machine.Īnother welcome touch is that the laptop opens without needing to hold down the bottom half. It also fits in most backpacks – and even some tablet compartments. While using the MateBook X out in the real world, the lightweight and portable chassis meant that it was easily clasped in hand while rushing from meeting to meeting. Of course, you’ll have to get the priciest version if you want that silver color – at least in the US.

Again, the MateBook X Pro comes in two colors, Space Gray and Mystic Silver, and both look gorgeous up close.

All the while, it weighs just 1.33kg (2.93 pounds), which – as Huawei is keen to point out – is lighter than the MacBook Air’s 1.35kg.Ĭlearly, this is a slim and light-enough laptop to comfortably carry around. When closed, the MateBook X Pro is just 4.9mm (0.19 inches) at its thinnest end, and 14.6mm (0.57 inches) at its thickest. This results in a laptop that undoubtedly looks luxe – and feels that way as well. The MateBook X Pro’s design keeps the premium feel of its predecessor alive, featuring an aluminum unibody design with diamond-cut edges and a sandblast finish.
