Every few years, a gem makes its way into consumer laptop-bags. It doesn’t occur often but when it does, it’s something special. That’s what you get with Huawei’s incoming MateBook X Pro 2020 notebook. It performs brilliantly in terms of spec, but also brings premium design elements to the desk.
The brand-new MateBook X Pro introduces a new Borderless Experience — one that truly immerses the user into an edge-to-edge display. This is the embodiment of what Huawei believes is the future of personal computers: smarter, easier to use, simpler to integrate with other devices, and capable of adding value to your life in every scenario.
We’re ready to welcome Huawei’s new laptop and to a whole new world of computing. In addition to its performance, the new MateBook X Pro series has taken the aesthetics of Huawei’s existing MateBook product line to new heights, with an elegant new design and powerful capabilities. Specifically tailored for business elites and content creators who demand more from their devices, here’s what you can expect from the new flagship
Sleek, ultra-slim
Weighing in at just 1.33kg, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is super sleek, ultra-slim and highly portable. It also features a 91% screen-to-body ratio, which makes your viewing experience borderless and unhindered by the screen’s surrounding bezels. In fact, Huawei has inserted a 13.9in display into a chassis that its competitors usually use for 12in displays.
The Ultra FullView Display is perfect for consuming just about any type of content. It works to deliver everything your eyes desire in an incredible 3K definition. That means that every photograph you view or movie you watch will be perfectly crisp, clear and vibrant. The display is also conveniently sized at a 3:2 aspect ratio, which allows Microsoft Office apps and other productivity tools to show more content, giving you a better view of what you’re working on.
Seamless, easy and safe
Huawei is using the advanced start and wake-up technology it incorporates into its smartphones in its new laptop. A simple fingerprint power button now allows you to start, wake up and log into your Huawei MateBook X Pro quickly and seamlessly. If security is one of your main concerns — this feature is user friendly and safe as all biometric information is stored in a discrete security chip.
We know security is also often a concern when it comes to laptop cameras. To protect their privacy, many users cover up this rarely-used tool with tape. The recessed camera on the Huawei MateBook X Pro solves this problem. This camera discreetly sits on the keyboard, and all users need to do to use it is press it and it will pop up. This is a helpful safeguard for those who are concerned about privacy.
No compromise on performance
Yes, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is ultra-slim, light and compact, but it’s also very powerful. It’s powered by a 10th Generation Intel® Core™ processor, which means it’s always able to keep up, no matter the demands you place on it. It also has all the necessary specs to deliver a smooth and stable image processing, video editing, movie viewing and gaming experience.
What’s more, the MateBook X Pro’s data transfer abilities, Wi-Fi connectivity, and Bluetooth transmissions speeds are world-class. And it comes with a 56Wh battery, which is doubly impressive given its compact design. With a battery like this, you can browse webpages for up to 11 hours, watch videos for up to 13 hours of work for up to 15 hours.
Of course, that’s not all. The MateBook X Pro also comes with a quad-speaker, which offers improved sound, and four microphones for long-distance listening. Huawei Share, which is built into the MateBook X Pro, enables multiple devices to interact seamlessly, and multi-screen collaboration can easily be run between Huawei MateBooks and smartphones. Say goodbye to cables and third-party apps – this is how connectivity should be.
As the pioneering product of a brand known for pushing the boundaries of technology innovation, the MateBook X Pro has to be experienced to be believed. The device will be available for pre-order from selected retailers (Takealot, Incredible Connection, Computer Mania) and Huawei’s online store at a recommended retail price of R34,999 from 23 November. Following this, the MateBook X Pro will officially launch on 1 December.
