Huawei MateBook 16 AMD Review - Multimedia laptop impresses with its Ryzen 7 CPU

This is multimedia. The new MateBook 16 from Huawei is a powerful multimedia notebook that is particularly impressive thanks to its fast AMD Ryzen processor and high-resolution display. This device offers more CPU performance than most mobile workstations.

The new MateBook 16 is Huawei's newest addition to its lineup of high-quality multimedia laptops in the style of the MateBook X Pro or the new MateBook 14s. It has recently been launched in Europe for a starting price of 1100 Euro (~1300 USD), which positions it above the old MateBook D16, which was available from around 850 Euro. The new MateBook 16 is directed at customers that are looking for a powerful device with a large display but who do not require a dedicated GPU for gaming.

We have reviewed the more powerful configuration equipped with the new AMD Ryzen 7 5800H including a Radeon RX Vega 8 iGPU, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB PCIe SSD and a high-resolution 16-inch 3:2 IPS display for 1200 Euro. The competitors include the MateBook D 16 mentioned above, the Acer Swift 3 16, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16, the Schenker Vision 15 and the Dell XPS 15 9510.

Case - MateBook 16 with an attractive aluminum case

The MateBook 16's new aluminum case is equal to the MateBook X Pro or the new MateBook 14s in terms of quality and gives a better impression than the older MateBook D16. The device has a very high-quality feel to it and the workmanship appears to be perfect. Its design is similar to that of the other MateBooks and includes a small hollow to open the display cover and a polished edge on the top of the base unit. The only color available on this device is Space Gray. If the light falls onto the surface in a certain way, this color, unlike Apple's Space Gray, actually looks slightly purple. Not everyone will appreciate this color choice, so we would have liked at least one other color option. The bezels above and on the sides of the display are only 5.2 mm wide, which leads to a screen-to-body ratio of almost 90 percent.

Both the base unit and display cover are very solid and sturdy. The base unit only gives way to pressure in the middle above the keyboard. This shouldn't impact everyday use in any way. The hinges are well adjusted but cannot quite make up for the fact that the display is rather large and deep due to the 3:2 screen ratio. The laptop is fairly easy to open with one hand, but the display teeters slightly when adjusting the opening angle (max 145 degrees).

Despite its large 16-inch panel, the MateBook is the narrowest device in our group of comparison devices. Its 3:2 screen ratio also makes it the deepest. All comparison devices are very similar in terms of thickness. The MateBook is one of the heaviest devices in our comparison table at exactly 2 kg, which doesn't make it the most portable solution. The AC adapter weighs another 400 grams.

Connectivity - Huawei chooses USB-C & USB-A

Huawei has decided to equip its MateBook 16 with both USB C ports (that can be used for recharging) and USB A ports. This is very useful as users do not need to resort to adapters. The HDMI port supports the 2.0 standard, which means the device can connect to 4K monitors with up to 60 Hz.

Communication

Huawei has chosen to equip the MateBook 16 with the well-known Intel Wi-Fi module AX200 that supports the current Wi-Fi 6 standard (802.11ax) with 160 Hz as well as Bluetooth 5.1. Our standardized Wi-Fi test with the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 router results in very good transfer rates, which we can confirm based on our experience while using the device. We did not encounter any limitations in terms of speed or signal. The device behaved just as well with the AVM Fritz!Box 7590 (Wi-Fi 5, 802.11ac).

Webcam

Webcam hidden in the keyboard

While Huawei has repositioned the webcam to the top of the screen for the new MateBook 14s, the manufacturer has kept the MateBook 16's webcam in its usual position in the top row of the keyboard. This is good in terms of security but leads to a rather distorted perspective. The quality of the 720p sensor is quite meager as well, even in good lighting.

Maintenance

The bottom of the base unit is held in place with only a few Torx T6 screws and is easy to remove. Not that there is much to do on the inside - only the Wi-Fi module and the M.2 2280 SSD (which is beneath another metal plate that can be removed easily) can be replaced. The RAM module is soldered on and cannot be upgraded.

Keyboard

Huawei has equipped the MateBook 16 with the well-known black chiclet keyboard without a dedicated number pad. Fortunately, the available space on either side of the keyboard isn't wasted as the manufacturer has used it for the speakers. The typing experience is average with an even and pronounced pressure point. The keyboard is very quiet, although some keys rattle more than others. The base of the keyboard probably isn't completely even. There are definitely better keyboards out there, especially when looking at professional laptops, but the MateBook 16 still is perfectly acceptable even if you spend many hours typing.

The keyboard is equipped with white two-tier background lighting for working in dark surroundings. Users can set the backlighting to automatically turn off during inactivity via the preinstalled PC Manager (can be accessed by pressing the F10 key). The power button is positioned outside the keyboard and has an integrated fingerprint scanner that works reliably and quickly in our test.

Touchpad

The ClickPad is very large at 14 x 9.1 cm and offers sufficient space for gestures with up to four fingers. The fingers glide over the pad easily. As is the case with many devices, the noise the integrated keys make is a little too loud, which slightly impacts the overall high-quality impression. We would recommend simply using tap to click to avoid the issue.

Display - 2.5K IPS with 3:2 screen ratio

Similar to other Huawei models, the new MateBook 16 is equipped with a panel that has a 3:2 screen ratio. The 16-inch panel has 2520 x 1680 pixels, which results in a pixel density of 189 DPI. The reflective display gives a great impression, subjectively. Screen contents is displayed very clearly and colors are strong. The viewing angle stability of the BOE IPS panel is very good.

According to the technical data sheet, the Huawei MateBook 16 has a brightness of 300 nits. Our panel actually tops this with an average 350 nits. The black value is very low, which corresponds to a very good contrast ratio of 1700:1. There is some backlight bleeding along the edges at maximum brightness. This isn't an issue in everyday use and is only visible along the bottom when displaying videos with a ratio of 16:9. We did not detect any PWM flickering.

Our analysis (CalMAN Professional, X-Rite i1 Pro 2) has shown that the panel is already well calibrated ex-works. The grayscales have a slight blue cast, but this isn't visible to the eye. The colors are all within the ideal range and do not require additional calibration. Our own calibration only minimally improved the display (link available in the information box above). The colors cover the smaller sRGB color space almost entirely, which makes the panel suitable for editing images and video.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
26.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14 ms rise
↘ 12.4 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 61 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
41.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19.2 ms rise
↘ 22 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 61 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The display's only real weakness is the extremely reflective surface, as is illustrated by the pictures shown below. It is almost impossible to use the device outdoors on a sunny day and reflections can even be a slight problem when working indoors.

Performance - Zen 3 and good cooling

The MateBook 16 is available with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H (6 Zen-3 cores) or the Ryzen 7 5800H (8 Zen-3 cores) for a surcharge of 100 Euro. The remaining features of the two configurations are identical with 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB PCIe-SSD. 

The key combination Fn+P allows users to switch between balanced and performance mode, but we did not measure a difference in CPU or iGPU performance.

Processor - Ryzen 7 5800H with 54 Watt continuous load

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800H has 8 fast Zen-3 cores (16 threads) and reaches a maximum of 4.4 GHz. The chip is produced using the 7-nm process, which has a positive effect on efficiency. The Ryzen 7 5800H currently is one of the fastest 45-Watt mobile processors, as the impressive benchmarks below show. The processor's power consumption peaks at 65 Watt and then immediately stabilizes at around 54 Watt, which leads to very stable performance.

The IdeaPad Pro, equipped with the same processor, offers comparable performance while the other models, equipped with Intel chips, do not stand a chance against the AMD processor in Multi or Single Core tests. To be fair, these devices are not equipped with the fastest processors. But the results remain similar when looking at some (significantly more expensive) mobile workstations such as the Dell Precision 5560 or the ThinkPad P1 G4 (the high-end version with Vapor Chamber) equipped with the Intel Core i7-11850H. There are implementations of the Core i7-11800H that provide even more performance (in some gaming laptops, for example), but only combined with very high levels of power consumption (~100 Watt in the case of the Alienware x17). All this illustrates the notable improvement in efficiency of the current AMD chips and the fact that the MateBook 16 can even keep up with models of a much higher price range.  

When running on battery, the processor consumes 54 Watt for a few seconds and is then limited to 35 Watt. This only leads to a loss of around 10 percent in the Multi Core test (1793 points in CBR15 Multi). For more information on CPU benchmarks, please visit our Tech page.

System Performance

Compatible with Windows 11
Compatible with Windows 11

Despite the lack of a dedicated GPU, the MateBook 16 achieves excellent results in the synthetic PCMark 10 and easily reaches the top of our comparison table. Our subjective impression was equally good. We found the MateBook 16 to be a particularly fast and responsive companion during everyday use. 

The MateBook 16 supports the upgrade to Windows 11, which makes the Huawei notebook future-proof. Huawei Share enables users to easily share files between various Huawei devices such as tablets and smartphones and even to use a tablet as a second screen (mirrored or expanded display). This worked very well in our test with a  MatePad Pro (from 2020) and we did not encounter any issues or delays.

Storage Devices

The M.2 2280 SSD is positioned below an additional cover and can be upgraded
The M.2 2280 SSD is positioned below an additional cover and can be upgraded

The individual 512-GB M.2 2280 SSD from Lite-On is connected via PCIe 3.0 x4. The transfer rates are excellent and at the limit of what the PCIe 3.0 interface is capable of, so upgrading the storage device only makes sense if you need more storage space. As with other Huawei laptops, the SSD is already partitioned ex-works, which is rather unnecessary and can actually lead to problems. The system drive only has 71 GB available after the initial startup, so some users might soon reach a limit if they aren't careful about downloading and installing files and programs. The remaining 337 GB are available on the Data (D) partition. Find out more about SSD benchmarks here.

Graphics

GPU-Z Radeon RX Vega 8
GPU-Z Radeon RX Vega 8

The processor's Radeon RX Vega 8 is responsible for displaying graphics. Its raw performance is about 20 - 30 percent (depending on the benchmark) below the fastest models of Intel's current Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 EUs and about 30 percent faster than the old Vega 8 in the Ryzen 4000 generation. The big advantage of the current Vega 8 is its significantly improved video decoder has become a lot more efficient and can now beat the Intel Iris Xe (about 8 percent vs. 32 percent GPU load when playing 4K video). 

The MateBook 16 easily passed the demanding 3DMark Time Spy stress test (99.6 percent) and the graphics performance remains stable when running on battery. Find out more about GPU benchmarks here.

Gaming Performance

The gaming performance of the MateBook 16 is limited due to the missing dedicated GPU. Users can nonetheless play some older or less demanding titles such as the new FIFA 22 or DOTA 2 at high settings. Performance remains stable even during long gaming sessions.

Emissions - MateBook remains very quiet in everyday use

System Noise

Zwei Lüfter mit zwei Heatpipes
Zwei Lüfter mit zwei Heatpipes

The cooling system seems to work very well despite the device's high performance as it remains virtually silent most of the time when surfing the web or playing high-resolution videos. The first fan stage (at around 27 dB(A)) is only slightly audible in silent surroundings. The fan remains calm even when gaming; we measured a maximum of 32 dB(A) during Witcher 3. Games with a heavy load on the CPU do cause the fans to turn up slightly but not loud enough to make it difficult to use the internal speakers. 

Only when the CPU is under continuous full load will the fans become very audible, although it takes about a minute before you start hearing them even then. The fans reach their maximum volume of around 42 dB(A) after several minutes. Fortunately, the frequency of the fan noise isn't particularly high. We did not notice any other electronic noises such as coil whine.

Temperature

The case of the MateBook 16 hardly heats up during everyday tasks/low loads. When the device is put under load, the heat development is mainly contained to the back center area of the bottom of the base unit where we measured a hotspot of 50 °C. The device can still be used on the lap, even under these conditions, as this area of the device usually isn't in direct contact with your body. On the top of the base unit, users will feel the keyboard heat up slightly during the stress test, but this won't really lead to any restrictions.

The MateBook 16 impresses with a very stable performance and a total CPU consumption of 54 Watt during the stress test. The processor clocks at an average of 8 x 2.8 GHz and the iGPU clocks at 1,750 MHz.

Speaker

The sound created by the two stereo speakers next to the keyboard is surprisingly loud and full-bodied. The bass is missing, of course, but both videos and music sound quite good on the device. While the competing Dell XPS 15 has slightly better speakers, these also tend to overdrive in certain cases.

135-Watt AC adapter (USB-C)

The high-resolution display consumes a fair amount of power in general and the MateBook 16 has the highest power consumption of all comparison devices with an iGPU when under load. The maximum power consumption under load is 100 Watt, which then settles down to 90 Watt. The included 135-Watt AC adapter is sufficient and can continue to recharge the device while under heavy load.

Battery Life

The 84-Wh battery provides a very good battery life. We reached 13 hours in our video test and 11 hours in our Wi-Fi test, both with a brightness of 150 nits (around 46 percent of maximum brightness). The Wi-Fi battery life is still good at maximum brightness and reaches 8.5 hours. The battery drains within 1.5 hours under load. 

Despite the promoted SuperCharge technology, we weren't able to get the quick charging function to work (there were no settings in the PC Manager either). After about 65 minutes, the battery reached 50 percent capacity. Fully recharging the battery took about 150 minutes in our test with the device turned on.

The new MateBook 16 gave a very good impression in our test - particularly considering its price. The device can easily keep up with the significantly more expensive Dell XPS 15 in terms of quality and also stands out from the crowd of competitors wrapped in plastic. While the MateBook 16 isn't the lightest or slimmest notebook, this has a positive impact on its rigidity and thermal characteristics as well as fan noise. Thinner isn't always better.    

Huawei has decided to equip its MateBook with a powerful Ryzen 5000 processor with 45 W that can stand up to continuous load without its performance suffering. Although Intel's current Tiger Lake processors (such as the i7-11800H) also offer performance on this level, they require a lot more power to do so. As a consequence, the MateBook 16 offers more CPU performance than most current workstations, which are almost exclusively still all based on Intel CPUs. AMD has also optimized the power consumption of the CPUs and the device's battery life is very good.

The MateBook 16 is not equipped with a dedicated GPU, so users looking to play new games on their device will have to look elsewhere. Other than that, the iGPU is very well suited for everyday applications and displaying high-resolution video, which is further supported by good loudspeakers. The new 3:2 display does a good job in most areas, but it is very reflective, which could sometimes lead to difficulties reading the screen.

The MateBook 16 is a good multimedia notebook without any serious weaknesses. Its high CPU performance beats most mobile workstations and the display is good. Not to mention the excellent price-to-performance ratio.

Of course there are several areas that could still be improved, such as the position and quality of the webcam, switching to a plugged RAM module und integrating USB 4, although at least the latter point should be resolved with the next generation of AMD CPUs. The slightly limited connectivity (no SD card reader) also had a small impact on our rating. Nonetheless, we can definitely recommend the MateBook 16, not least because of its affordable price. Our review has shown what the XPS 15 with an iGPU could look like if it were finally equipped with an AMD CPU. Users that are interested in more gaming performance should take a look at the IdeaPad 5 Pro, which combines the fast Ryzen 7 processor with the GeForce GTX 1650. The Schenker Vision 15 ,on the other hand, is a lot more portable and offers slightly more graphics performance.

Price and availability

The MateBook 16 is only available in Asia and Europe at the time of writing, but it is expected to become available in the UK and the US in the near future.
