Reviews for the Huawei MateBook X Pro, i7
Source: Kitguru Archive.org version
The MateBook X Pro (2018) is definitely an appealing laptop at the current £1499 asking price, but considering Huawei’s recent US ‘blacklisting’ there is a lot of uncertainty in the air, overshadowing the device itself.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro is a speedy machine with a gorgeous display, comfortable keyboard and solid battery life. We would easily recommend this over the 13-inch MacBook Pro, if it were easier to buy this machine in the U.S. And while the MateBook X Pro's high import price was once a dealbreaker, that's no longer the case.

It’s telling that the areas where the Matebook X Pro falls short are those it experiments with. Because when it comes to everything else, Huawei have pretty much mastered the formula for what makes a good laptop.

Overall it’s a very nice, well-specified package that should severely dent sales of Surface Book and a lot of other ultralight/x360 laptops.

The same power profile could also be responsible for the dim maximum brightness that's set by default. When you disable auto-brightness you can turn it up to much more acceptable levels.

Huawei’s Matebook X Pro offers competent performance. Its true value is, really, value: For just under $1,500, Huawei offers a laptop with a 3K display, pairing it with a decent discrete graphics processor for a bit more oomph. Dell’s XPS series remains on top, however, at least from a general performance standpoint. The new Dell XPS 13 (9370) remains our Editors’ Choice within the category.

A great 14-inch lightweight clamshell laptop, the Huawei MateBook X Pro offers a combo of first-rate display and a little oomph that suits it for basic graphics work. But an absurd placement in the keyboard renders the webcam close to useless.

Every so often you get to see a laptop and say wow and Huawei has achieved that with the MateBook X Pro. They chiseled a gorgeous piece of machinery here. Near edge to edge 3K display is unseen and especially on its close to 14” frame. It’s great for viewing content or getting some work done. Its lightweight and is qualified to give you impressive battery life pushing around 15 hours on a good day. Webcam isn’t all that great and is hidden and can stay there. For what it’s worth you expect this laptop to be hefty on the price tag but for what you are getting its in a nice ballpark figure. The Core i5 version runs for $1,199 while the Core i7 will cost you $300 more at $1,499. Funny thing is depending where you look either model is usually out of stock as they flip in and out of inventory. MateBook X Pro is at the top of the Ultrabook pile and its for good reason.

Launched at Mobile World Congress 2018 (read our Matebook X Pro MWC coverage), it became available in the USA on May 21. Designed to provide its owner with top productivity and multimedia capabilities, this laptop is mostly a consumer product that can also serve a slice of the business market. Let’s see if it is as hot as Huawei pitches it when we put it to the test…

With all of these features, you’d expect the MateBook X Pro to be competitively priced against a Dell XPS 13 or Microsoft Surface Pro, but that’s the real kicker. The Huawei MateBook X Pro is priced hundreds of dollars less than most of the competition, while providing a superior product to most. The value here is undeniable, even though it’s hard to think of a $1500 laptop as a value product. The base model with a Core i5-8250U, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD is just $1200, but unlike most laptops, the higher end model is an even better deal. For just $300 more, you bump the CPU up to a Core i7-8550U, double the RAM to 16 GB, double the SSD to 512 GB, and add in the GeForce MX150 GPU. That’s an impressive upgrade for not much more money.

It’s a novel idea that certainly eliminates any need for a Post-it to cover the camera, but it also means that whoever you’re chatting with will get a good look up your nose much like the XPS 13. And God help you if you have to type something while using the webcam, because your friend will just get a close-up look at your fingernails. I sincerely hope you get a manicure before using this webcam.

Ultimately, the MateBook X Pro is a delightful Windows 10 PC. Unless you're looking for something that specifically requires a lot of power - like gaming or heavy video editing - I think that this laptop is great for anyone.

The Dell XPS 13, with its kick-ass internals and stunning display, tics off a lot of boxes. Although it has more customization options, the top-tier configuration ($1,850) is about $500 more than the X Pro. The HP Spectre 13, on the other hand, has a starting price of $1,039 (according to Best Buy), but the connectivity options aren't great.

From our vantage point, Huawei's MateBook X Pro is easy to recommend. It combines a thin and light premium design with a strong assortment of hardware, ultimately delivering a premium portable experience in a package that undercuts the competition in price. This may just be the high-end laptop you've been waiting for.

We're still waiting for UK pricing, but those in the US can finally buy the Matebook X Pro. The entry-level Dell XPS 13 undercuts it, but to get equivalent specs, the XPS 13 9370 is exactly the same price at US$1199.99.

The MateBook X Pro’s performance and design alone win it high marks right away, but once the price is factored in, it becomes a no-brainer. Its few faults are only an issue if you happen to make a lot of video calls from your laptop or you need your computer to last longer than a work day away from an outlet. Everything else is as good or better than any other laptop I’ve used.

This notebook seems aimed at those Windows users who want the highest-quality hardware on the market, but wouldn’t be caught dead using a piece of Apple hardware. This potential user might be all about that laptop with an aluminum body design, 3:2 display, and speakers that blast up from the left and right of the keyboard… but they can’t use OS X (or never, ever would). For them, Huawei makes a very fine machine.

Huawei's MateBook X Pro is a solid piece of hardware that appeals to those who want the biggest touchscreen display possible in the smallest form factor while also enjoying an amazing speaker experience. It is quite expensive compared to competing products and realizes its full potential when paired with a Huawei smartphone.

Huawei’s fourth laptop looks like a MacBook Pro clone, but manages to add in features that make it better for pros on the go. A traditional USB A port and a 14-inch display in a 13-inch body are both big pluses, plus excellent audio that makes it a cut above some others. You may not be so thrilled with the pop-up webcam, or the fact that it’s hard to pick up in the US.

With a stunning trim-bezel screen, heaps of power on tap, ample numbers of ports, and a well-considered finish throughout, there's a lot to like about Huawei's top-spec laptop. The only standout downside, from what we suspect, is that battery life will be on the light side if you want the full bells-and-whistles model.

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.
