Reviews for the Huawei MateBook 13 i7

86.3% Huawei MateBook 13 (i7-8565U, GeForce MX150) Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Don't let its diminutive size fool you — this 3:2 13.0-inch laptop is equipped with a much faster GPU than your typical Ultrabook. Huawei's latest offering is supposed to be a mid-range product, but its unique build and specifications are anything but.

Having clearly watched from the sidelines for years, Huawei latest has exactly the kind of sensibility we’ve wanted from a luxury laptop. The Huawei MateBook 13 does what any flagship laptop can do – and more – for the same price or even less. For that, the Huawei MateBook 13 is our Best in Class laptop in 2019.

It may sound obvious to compare the MateBook 13 to the MacBook Air, but it’s hard not to. With such similar designs there’s little to tell the laptops apart on aesthetics, but as soon as you look at the internals Huawei’s laptop pulls sharply ahead. The only real compromises are on webcam quality and battery life, though the latter could be a dealbreaker for anyone considering switching from Apple.

Source: Ultrabook Review English Archive.org version
The MateBook is nonetheless a well-balanced product and a good allrounder, thanks to that screen, its fast and quiet keyboard, the performance and the competent thermal module, that allows for good acoustics and thermals in most situations. Huawei did skimp on a few aspects, though, so potential users will have to accept the squeaky chassis, the small battery life, the limited IO and the awkwardly placed and not very loud speakers.

80% Huawei Matebook 13 review: A lean workhorse laptop that you can't actually buy right now
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
Huawei’s Matebook 13 strikes a compelling balance between looks, feel and performance. It’s not the best Huawei notebook out there, but it’s still a pretty nice laptop anyway. And, barring the usual caveats of the genre, there’s not really many areas where the Huawei Matebook 13 can be said to fall short, and no major missteps. It’s a clean equation that’s light on surprises and heavy on polish.

Sure, there are a lot of Macbook undertones and Huawei is not ashamed of that. They’re merely stating that they can do a better one and at a more affordable price. You would be paying 30% to 40% more for a similarly spec’ed Macbook (Php70k vs. Php103k). That’s real value for money there.

Huawei Matebook 13 review - A solid notebook with a special feature for Huawei smartphone users
Source: Tech Nave English Archive.org version
So how much does this Matebook 13 cost? Well, the one that we reviewed is the i7 Intel core model, so that's RM4399. If you want the cheaper one, that's RM3999. That is kind of expensive but that's probably because of the awesome OneHop feature, the 2K Fullview screen, along with tech specs that are good enough to get by. The lack of ports is a bummer for most users, so this notebook is better suited for Huawei or HONOR smartphone users to utilize the OneHop feature (but you can remedy this with a good USB Type-C Hub as mentioned above).

With such similar designs there’s little to tell the laptops apart on aesthetics, and as soon as you look at the internals Huawei’s laptop pulls sharply ahead. The base model offers double the storage of Apple’s for £300/$200 less, while the more expensive one manages to include a faster processor, double the storage, and a discrete GPU in the US, and still comes out cheaper than Apple’s £1,399/$1,399 SKU. The only real compromises are on webcam picture quality and battery life, though the latter could be a dealbreaker for anyone seriously considering switching from San Cupertino.

If you’re in the market for a small, powerful notebook that won’t completely ravage your bank account, Huawei’s MateBook 13 might just be the notebook you’re looking for. Despite having less than stellar battery life and a limited number of ports, the MateBook 13 excels as a work notebook thanks to an awesome keyboard, razor-sharp display as well as powerful internals. Two versions of the MateBook 13 are being offered in the Philippines: a Core i5 variant with 256GB of storage for Php 55,990 and a roomier, more powerful Core i7 variant with 512GB of storage for Php 69,990.

Huawei MateBook 13 Unboxing, Quick Review: Is This Your Next Notebook?
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
Huawei dipped their toes in the PC market with the MateBook X, and now they’re looking to fully submerge themselves in the category with their new MateBook offerings, starting with the MateBook 13. This 13-inch notebook from the Chinese brand is relatively solid and competitively priced, considering the build quality and what’s in it. While we’ve only been using the notebook for about a weekend now, it’s good enough that other players in the local notebook arena need to sit up and take notice.

Huawei’s MateBook 13 is solid, but it’s not the MacBook it wants to be
Source: Mobile Syrup English Archive.org version
The MateBook 13 is a good laptop, and while its battery isn’t the best, it provides decent sound, can handle my day-to-day tasks and it features a sleek design. I also really like the placement of the power button because it doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The laptop’s key travel is also superb, and I appreciate the display’s quality even though it isn’t 4K. This isn’t the most impressive laptop on the market from Huawei but it is the most affordable. The China-based company’s new MateBook X laptop is currently available in Canada and can be purchased through Amazon for $1,369.89 CAD.

HUAWEI MateBook 13 laptop [Review]
Source: Beta News English Archive.org version
Well, folks, HUAWEI has done it again -- its computers and devices are consistently excellent. The Core i7 MateBook 13 is highly recommended and absolutely worth its $1,300 asking price. You can save $300 by opting for the Core i5 with its smaller SSD and Intel graphics, but I'd suggest sticking with the top model if you can swing it. You can buy it now.

Huawei makes a good product, whether it's a smartphone or a PC. That's the bottom line. Every time I've used a Huawei device, it has exceeded my expectations, and the MateBook 13 is no different. I mentioned a few times throughout this review that the Huawei PC lineup is now a bit complicated, and a big part of that is that this is probably the Huawei laptop I'd recommend, at least until the X and X Pro get refreshes.

Huawei Matebook 13 review: a powerful GPU and Whiskey Lake chip propel this compact notebook
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
While it’s tempting to call the Matebook 13 a thin-and-light PC, the combination of the discrete GPU and Intel’s latest Whiskey Lake chip help the Matebook 13 punch well above its weight class. Because of this, the lack of at least one Thunderbolt port feels a little out of character, and we’re guessing Thunderbolt will be a feature of an upcoming Matebook X Pro refresh.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce MX150: Pascal GP108 based laptop graphics card and mobile version of the desktop GeForce GT 1030. Offers 384 shader cores and usually 2 GB GDDR5 with a 64 Bit memory bus. Manufactured in 14nm.

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.


Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.» 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.
