For better and worse, the MateBook X Pro hasn't changed a lot since Huawei released the original model in 2018. It's still a great laptop, provided you can put up with its quirks.

Above all, only at a retail price of S$1,598, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is certainly one of the most affordable notebooks in its class. It brings great value to consumers, and I’m quite sure that it will be a straightforward choice for many seeking for a thin and light, yet powerful notebook.

Of course, it is by no means perfect. Two USB-C ports is a little stingy and the fact that it doesn’t support Thunderbolt 3 and only one of them supports power charging compounds the problem. There’s also no microSD card reader so a USB-C adapter is likely going to be the first accessory every MateBook 13 owner buys. The lack of Wi-Fi 6 support isn’t a big deal especially if you don’t have a Wi-Fi 6 router at home, but it is puzzling especially since nearly every other Windows notebook released this year supports it. It also gets quite hot when you are gaming.

This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
