Comment

Model: How do you make something better? Huawei has some answers to that. Compared to last year’s Matebook X, Huawei comes back or lets say again with a very good device. This model competes with Apple’s MacBook Air and it is a bit cheaper. It can also compete with Dell’s XPS 13.

In terms of design, being lightweight and performance; everything is good. Literally. You get what you are paying for. Of course it is not a performance beast, but it will be a good friend on the go as it is just 1.3 kg.

So what is better and worse compared to Apple’s MacBook Air? First of all, performance. While Apple uses a fanless design for its MacBook Air models, Huawei goes full house and implements “real” processors with integrated GPUs. In return, what you get is definitely more horsepower. Also thermal-wise Huawei does a good job.

Keyboard, placement of webcam is also on par. So you are not missing anything. Well, maybe something. Lack of Thunderbolt is something and then RAM. You can only have 8 GB of RAM. That is a bit disappointing of course, but it is fairly enough for most of the tasks you can imagine. Do you really need a Thunderbolt? Well, it totally depends on your choices of course, one thing for sure, it would have made the device more future proof. With features like fast charging in 15 minutes for 2.5 hours of usage, it is definitely a mobility friendly device.

Now what you have to decide is what you really need. There is a high competition in this class which means many competing models. It all comes down to your needs. What puts Huawei ahead of the curve is the performance it provides with its price tag. Simply put, it has a better price / performance ratio. If RAM is kind of an issue for you, you should of course look for other models in the market.

If what you are looking for is performance, good design and less money to be spend on, well Huawei got you covered and you should not look for other options.

A clean design, well thought thermals, good battery management, plenty of disk space is what you get for your money. If Thunderbolt is really not something you need, then go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

13.00":

This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

1.307 kg:

In former time,s this weight was typical for big tablets, small subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles with a 10-11 inch display-diagonal. Nowadays, often 15 inch laptops weigh as much.
