Huawei has announced a revision of its MateBook X and MateBook 14 laptop lines which all use Windows 10.
The 14-inch MateBook 14 now comes with a choice of AMD Ryzen 7 4800 H or Ryzen 5 4600 processors and AMD Radeon graphics.
However, the 13-inch MateBook X sticks with 10th generation Intel Core processors at a time when most are moving across to the new11th generation chips(presumably due to Huawei’s trading issues with the US). We reviewed theprevious version of this laptopback in May.
It’s still a super-thin 13.6mm-thick laptop that clocks in around the 1kg mark. There are four colours you may get the magnesium-aluminium unibody laptop in - silver frost, forest green, interstellar blue and sakura pink.
The MateBook X is the first notebook to feature Huawei’s Infinite FullView Display (the ‘infinite’ bit is new) which is a near-borderless design.
The 3K resolution (3,000 x 2,000) 3:2 display boasts a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Once again there’s a pop-up webcam and fingerprint sensor power button plus 65W fast charging and up to 16GB of RAM.
The MateBook 14 is available in space grey, weighs around 1.5kg and has a 2,160 x 1,440 touchscreen IPS display. Again there’s around 90 percent screen-to-body ratio and either 256 or 512GB SSDs and 8 or 16GB of memory.
All the laptops are available from October. The MateBook X with Core i5/16GB/512GB is 1599 Euros and 1799Euros with a Core i7 processor.
The MateBook 14 is available from 849 Euros with Ryzen 5 and 1049 Euros with Ryzen 7.
