Reviews for the Huawei Matebook X Pro i5
Market disruptor. Huawei wants to prove that you don't need to spend $1500 or more for a decently specced XPS 13 or MacBook Pro. The MateBook X Pro attempts to give it all with an attractively thin aluminum design, 3:2 touchscreen, discrete Nvidia graphics, Thunderbolt 3, and an Intel U class CPU for less than what major competitors are currently offering.

The only real drawback to the MateBook X Pro, apart from its contentious webcam, is its price. When Huawei first launched the laptop, its $1,499 price tag was particularly compelling. Two years later, with minimal upgrades, it's difficult to see where the extra money is going compared to other Windows 10 ultraportables. Nevertheless, if you can stomach paying a little more, and especially if you are already in the Huawei device world via a smartphone, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is a solid performer. It will be a while until it launches in the U.S. so we can benchmark it properly, but if you're willing to step outside the mainstream it should keep you satisfied.

With more ports, a better screen, and discrete graphics, the Huawei MateBook X Pro looks to be a vastly better ultraportable laptop than last year's MateBook X.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro is an interesting device and does show some promise. However, there's one giant problem – the price. The top-end MateBook X Pro with 16GB of RAM and a Core i7 process costs €1,899, which translates to a whopping £1,672.

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.
