Huawei MateBook 13 2021 arrives with Intel Tiger Lake processors and an NVIDIA GeForce MX450 GPU

The MateBook 13 is one of three laptops that Huawei has upgraded to Intel's Tiger Lake platform, with the MateBook X Pro and MateBook 14 joining it on the Core i5-1135G7 and Core i7-1165G7. The switch to Tiger Lake CPUs also brings Iris Xe Graphics G7 GPUs to the MateBook 13, up to the Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs in the Core i7-1165G7.

However, Huawei offers the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 with the MateBook 13 too. The GeForce MX450 is only available with the Core i7-1165G7 though and for a price of CNY 6,999 (~US$1,078).

Nonetheless, all configurations come with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 dual-channel RAM and a 512 GB SSD. Additionally, all SKUs have a 1440p display with a 3:2 aspect ratio that supposedly covers 100% of the sRGB colour space. Moreover, the MateBook 13 2021 has a 42 Wh battery that can be recharged with its 65 W charger.

The MateBook 13 2021 measures 286 x 211 x 14.9 mm and weighs 1.3 kg. Huawei sells the new MateBook 13 in China from CNY 5,449 (~US$848), but it is yet to announce international availability and pricing.
