HUAWEI MateBook 13 Joins Award-Winning Line-Up of Huawei Notebooks
Available initially at Amazon and Newegg in January, and additional retailers in February
LAS VEGAS —January 7, 2019 — Following the success of its flagship HUAWEI MateBook X Pro and the
HUAWEI MateBook D notebooks in 2018, Huawei today announces a new addition to its ultra-slim
notebook line-up with the HUAWEI MateBook 13. Delivering powerful functions without compromising
portability, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 comes equipped with the latest Intel® Whiskey Lake processor, an
NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 (25 Watt TDP) option, and an industry-leading FullView Touch Screen with 88
percent screen-to-body ratio.
Available in an i5 variant with integrated graphics for $999 and an i7 variant with an NVIDIA® GeForce®
MX150 discrete graphics for $1,299, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 will begin selling in the U.S. on Jan. 29 at
Amazon and Newegg, and at additional top consumer electronics retailers in February.
Featuring the signature HUAWEI MateBook design, FullView Display, Shark Fin 2.0 cooling system and
two-in-one power button, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 exemplifies Huawei’s commitment to delivering
industry-defining innovation and industry-leading specs in a high-quality design at an exceptional price.
Premium and Portable Design
The hand-feel and texture of the HUAWEI MateBook 13 are two key characteristics that contribute to
the quality of the notebook. To achieve perfection in these two areas, the edges are smoothly curved
with 5,252 aluminum chamfers cut with a precise CNC diamond technique and then put through an
advanced sandblasting process. The process produces a soft and glossy finish that is a pleasure to feel
and see while also helping to withstand abrasions.
Weighing 2.86 pounds (or less with the integrated graphics) and measuring only 11.26 inches wide x
8.31 inches deep x .59 inches high, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is thin, light and portable. The HUAWEI
MateBook 13 fits a 13-inch FullView Touch Screen display in its small body by continuing the minimal
bezel design introduced with the MateBook X Pro. Measuring at only 4.4 millimeters, the bezels are
engineered to achieve an 88 percent screen-to-body ratio for an expansive viewing experience. It also
includes a large clickpad for gesture controls, and a full-sized, spill-resistant keyboard with 1.2 millimeter
travel for a comfortable typing experience.
As with the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 also has a 3:2 aspect ratio, which
displays more content when working in Microsoft Office applications, browsing the web, watching
videos and viewing photos. The HUAWEI MateBook 13 features a 2K display (2160x1440 at 200ppi) with
a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and supports 100 percent of the RGB color gamut. It can display vivid details
when viewing HD pictures or videos, and is more than capable of displaying images and videos with
HUAWEI MateBook 13 adopts an eye comfort technology found in Huawei smartphones and tablets,
which filters excessive blue light and alleviates eye fatigue. It also features a brightness adjustment
component so that individuals can view information clearly, even under direct sunlight.
Engineered to have a minimalist design, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 delivers a smaller footprint without
sacrificing the specs. The HUAWEI MateBook 13 comes equipped with the 8th Generation Intel® CoreTM
Whiskey Lake processor in two configurations:
• i7 8565U processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 Graphics (TDP 25W) with 2GB GDDR5, 8GB
memory, 512GB PCIe SSD. Available in Space Gray.
• i5 8265U processor with integrated Intel® UHD Graphics 620, 8GB memory, 256GB PCIe SSD.
Available in Mystic Silver.
Because cooling plays an essential role in maintaining device performance, the HUAWEI MateBook 13
features the innovative HUAWEI Shark Fin Design 2.0 cooling solution. Reaching up to 8,000 revolutions
per minute and increasing airflow approximately 25 percent more than conventional laptop fans, the
dual-fan design is center-positioned to separate the heat from CPU and GPU. At the software layer, the
Intelligent Filtering solution works in concert with the seven internal thermal sensors to monitor and
manage temperature change in real-time and ensure stable performance. The smart solution not only
links the two fans together for maximum cooling, but it also lowers the noise by 3dB (decibels) when
playing videos and audio compared to the traditional fan design.
The HUAWEI MateBook 13 packs a large 41.7Wh (typical value) battery to ensure the notebook stays
powered even on extended trips. It also features Huawei’s proprietary battery and process management
system, which identifies usage behaviors and automatically allocates resources to enhance the battery
life. A HUAWEI MateBook 13 with integrated graphics can play local FHD videos for 10 hours, support
productivity workloads for 9.1 hours, or be used for 7.3 hours of continuous Internet browsing.
model with the discrete GPU is only slightly less with 9.6 hours for FHD videos, 8.6 hours for productivity
work and 7.2 hours of continuous Internet browsing.*
Today, consumers can quickly unlock their smartphones with the touch of a finger. As one of the first
manufacturers to bring the fingerprint sensor to Android smartphones, Huawei integrated its cutting-
edge fingerprint sensors into the power button of the HUAWEI MateBook 13. The One Touch power
button integrates power, fingerprint verification and system sign-in into one button. By optimizing the
BIOS, Huawei makes it possible to quickly start and wake up the computer, and to authenticate an
individual’s identity. Additionally, fingerprint information is saved on the device as opposed to in the
cloud, ensuring greater security.
Carrying several devices, such as smartphones and laptops, typically requires having multiple chargers
on hand as well. To reduce the load, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 comes with a portable 65W power
adapter that works with a range of outputs – including 20V/3.25A, 15V/3A, 12V/2A, 9V/2A and 5V/2A –
and USB-C powered devices. It is not only light and thin, it is equipped with overheat protection and
Quick Charge technology that can provide approximately 2.5 hours of everyday office use with a 15-
Featuring Dolby Atmos®, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 provides an immersive entertainment experience.
With a headset, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 produces a clear, powerful and moving cinematic experience
with its surround sound and powerful sound effects.
The HUAWEI MateBook 13 comes with one-year of Microsoft Office 365 Personal edition and the
HUAWEI MateDock 2 included.
