84% Huawei MateBook 13 (2020) review - A Ryzen laptop isn't always the better choice | Notebookcheck
Comparatively compact and even cheaper than the Intel version, the MateBook 13 presents itself configured with an AMD chipset. Our review will clarify who would nonetheless be better off investing a bit more money.

Huawei MateBook 13 (2020) review – the MacBook Air clone that’s actually better
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Quite obviously, the MateBook 13 (2020) is targeted towards users that would like to get the MacBook Air (2020), but lack the budget, or are set down by the performance of the product. Interestingly, the Chinese manufacturer has definitely made great steps to make a decent device, providing a 3:2 display with a relatively high resolution, powerful hardware, and decent battery life, in a package, that is marginally smaller than the MacBook Air.

Comment

AMD Vega 8: Integrated graphics card of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 8 CUs (= 512 shaders) and a clock of up to 1100 MHz.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


R5 3500U: Mobile Quad-Core APU using Zen+ cores clocked at 2.1 to 3.7 GHz and a Vega iGPU with 8 CUs running at up to 1200 MHz.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.00":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.
