Reviews for the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024
The MateBook X Pro is Huawei's flagship laptop and the new 2024 model has had its weight reduced to below 1 kg. In addition, its IPS screen has been swapped out for an OLED touchscreen that can achieve brightness levels of over 1,000 nits and offers an impressive picture quality.

The Huawei Matebook X Pro may be my favourite laptop I've tested this year. While integrated graphics limit its 3D (and gaming) potential a fair bit, all the other internals are powerful enough to make any other job a proverbial breeze. It's ridiculously lightweight, looks gorgeous and the OLED touchscreen is a delight to use and look at. The only downside is a lack of ports...

Finding a Windows UltraBook that can rival Apple’s offerings is hard, and HUAWEI comes very close with the MateBook X Pro 2024. Aside from having the most powerful internals you can ask for in a laptop, HUAWEI pulls it off with the MateBook X Pro 2024 with one that’s slim, light, and powerful.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 is a breathtaking triumph of engineering, featuring a potent Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and a brilliant touch display combined with Intel Evo certification, all in a chassis that is just 980g, making it one of the lightest, most powerful ultraportables on the planet. This laptop sets a new bar for what ultraportables ought to aspire to and is everything we are looking for in an ultraportable. While it doesn’t come cheap, this is the best ultraportable that money can currently buy.

For a laptop that is this light and capable, there surely has to be a catch. Nothing is perfect after all. Well, that’s where the price of the Huawei Matebook X Pro comes in. If you thought the previous generations Matebook X Pro was already expensive, well this new one is even more expensive. The 2024 Huawei Matebook X Pro now retails for PHP 129,999 for the Intel Ultra 9 variant with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. Granted it is expensive, there’s no doubt about it. For the same price, you can get more capable and powerful gaming laptops with a proper NVIDIA or AMD GPU. The only downside is that they aren’t as portable as this one. If you’re still young and don’t mind carrying a more capable gaming laptop around for the roughly same price, then the 2024 Matebook X Pro isn’t probably for you.

Feast your eyes onto this beautiful thin and light ultrabook from the folks over at HUAWEI; The 2024 MateBook X Pro. It weighs lighter than a kilogram at 980g and sports an Intel Core Ultra 9 (185H) CPU. Perfect for professionals and jetsetters always on the go and in-need of an ultra-portable and capable Windows terminal.

The top-spec version of the MateBook X Pro, the only version available in the UK at this time, comes in at £2,099.99, whereas in Europe you can choose to get the slightly pared-back option with 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage for €1,999.99. Although the premium configuration is pricey, the MateBook X Pro looks like a steal compared to the eye-watering price tag on the specced-out Surface Laptop Studio 2, offering comparable performance and a better display for our money. When pitted against the holy grail M3 Macbook Pro, a 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD MacBook comes in at the same price as the MateBook X Pro, and although the MacBook remains our top choice, the fact you can double your RAM and storage for the same price (if you are willing to sacrifice a bit on the performance and battery life) makes Huawei's offering look a lot more competitive.

I thought the outgoing MateBook X Pro was as thin and light as it got in Huawei land, but the 2024 edition shows just how much room there was for improvement. This is now an incredibly light machine, but one that doesn’t compromise a jot on performance. The impactful OLED display is the icing on the cake. It gets close enough to the MacBook Air on battery life, and the revised cooling system’s ability to cope with a Core Ultra 9 running at full whack is rather impressive. UK pricing puts it dangerously close to a 14in MacBook Pro, though, which is a phenomenally capable laptop. Newly-announced Copilot+ PCs running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite system-on-chip should last even longer, and cost less to boot – though that’s only on paper until I review one. That said, Windows users who are always on the move will struggle to find anything else that can lighten their load as effectively as this.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro (2024) is a great example of superb piece of hardware, undone by wrong-headed pricing and component choices. There’s so much to like here, but it’s the light weight, finish, build quality and speakers that impress – not the single, super high-end specification or the high price that comes from it. This is such a shame because thanks to the US export licence situation, this may well be one of the last Huawei laptops we see with an Intel CPU and, had Huawei chosen to offer it with a Core 7 Ultra with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, it might very well be one of the greatest, too. As it is, I just can’t see many people taking the plunge. The Huawei MateBook X Pro (2024) is a very, very good laptop, but it’s not quite good enough to justify that price.

Huawei's new flagship laptop is unbelievably thin and light, weighing only 980g and measuring about 13.3mm at its thickest point. Despite that, the machine is not lacking in power, running on Intel's latest Core 9 Ultra. The 14-inch OLED screen is also gorgeous, using Flexible OLED panels. Windows 11 is the software here, but the laptop also has some Huawei specific software touches that play nice with HarmonyOS.

Reviewing the Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024, an Intel Core Ultra 9 laptop weighing under 1kg boasting excellent performance. The Matebook X Pro 2024 is one of the best ultraportable notebooks I've tested in ages, even if battery life isn't as superb as some rivals. Video editing, even gaming, is more than possible on this compact device.

If you come at the king, you best not miss, and Huawei has come correct with the MateBook X Pro — putting the M3 MacBook Air on notice. Matching its performance, while being lighter, packing a gorgeous OLED panel, and the best keyboard/touchpad combo I’ve used on a Windows laptop, Apple is clearly in its sights and the shot’s been taken. It’s not perfect, though, with the omission of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the Snapdragon X Elite being what’s needed for Huawei to jump that final hurdle and challenge Cupertino on battery life. But for what this pricey device is, if you have the money (and you don’t live in the US), this is my favorite Windows laptop.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 is shaping up to be one of the best ultraportable options of the year. It has the specs, it has the looks and it’s exceptionally thin and lightweight. Of course, we need to test in the real world before we can reach any conclusions, but first impressions are good. If you’re in the market for a powerful premium ultrabook, keep an eye out for our full review. Personally, I can’t wait to spend some more time with it.

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
