Reviews for the Huawei MateBook D 14-53012BMY
Source: Toptenreviews
The Huawei MateBook D14 was released in 2020, but it is still the current budget MateBook model sold today. Unfortunately, while $ was probably a reasonable asking price when it launched, the 10th generation Intel Core i5-10210U CPU that powers it isn’t far off being lapped twice by new processors. Walk into any major retailer and you’ll be able to get a laptop with an equivalent 11th Gen processor for the same price and we’ve even seen comparable devices with i7-1165G7 CPUs go for hundreds of dollars less. The MateBook D14 was on sale at the time of writing-knocking $ off the asking price – but even then, they’re still not overly competitive. Two years of processor updates is a major sacrifice when you consider you’ll probably only use this device for five or six years at most, so they really need to be on a $ discount to be even worth considering.

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

i5-10210U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.6 and 4.2 GHz (all 4 cores 3.9 GHz max.) with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4-2933 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
