Huawei hasn’t taken any massive leaps forward with the new D15, but the small steps it has taken are sufficient to keep it very near the top of our recommended list of affordable laptops for another year, even if the price has gone up and the display hasn’t been given the upgrade it sorely needed. The odd niggle remains, of course, like the ludicrous positioning of the webcam and the lack of any form of keyboard backlighting, but taken in the round the MateBook D15 is still a solid, smart, competent machine at a good price. What’s the word I’m looking for? Oh, yes: decent.

The Intel version of the Huawei MateBook D 15 is a good budget offer. The laptop has a good-looking sleek design, it has a thin profile and it’s light at the same time. So, portability is one of its key selling points. You don’t have to worry when you are away from the charger – the small battery unit can last for 10 hours of Web browsing which is a great score for this 42Wh unit (actually, even better compared to the AMD sibling). In addition, the notebook has a compact USB-C charger which is great – if you have bigger pockets it’ll fit there with ease. The Intel Core i5-1135G7 (which is one of the available CPU variants) and its iGPU are good enough for some light games as well – CS:GO and Dota 2 can run just fine on (at least) Low settings.

If you’re looking at Huawei’s 2021 laptop lineup powered by the 11th-Gen Intel processor, the MateBook D 15 2021 is the most affordable you can get right now at PHP 52,999. However, if you want a sharper screen and a bigger battery, you’ll have to shell out more for the MateBook 14 2021 for PHP 64,999.

Huawei’s newly refreshed MateBook 15 2021 is a mixed bag. It has many of the same things that made the previous generation great, but the switch to Intel’s 11th generation chips feels like a lateral move, especially considering Huawei’s other offerings in the same space. The MateBook 14 (2020) for example, offers a better-performing CPU that delivers slightly worse GPU performance but better metrics across the board, including double the battery life. Sure you’re getting a slightly smaller display, but the 14-inch panel is sharper and is more color-accurate. It’s also a few thousand pesos cheaper than the MateBook D15 2021, making it a better buy all-around.
