I bought the matebook x pro in 2018 when it got out, and I can say it's the best laptop I ever got. It's still the same design on todays model, a proof that they were well in advance on the design front. The only thing that would make me buy a new one today is the battery that is starting to die pretty quickly after 2+ years of use. I'm not a heavy webcam user, so I love that it's hidden in the keyboard. It allows for an incredibly thin bezel for this 3:2 screen. Again... it has crazy good design, usb A + 2 Usb C, and great performance and incredible screen. It even came with a USB dongle for additional port selection. In 2018, i got it for 1750$ CAD for the top spec model (i7, 16gb ram, 512 gb fast ssd), which is around 1200$ USD. The price increased a lot today, but anyway at the time it was incredible value for the money, and I think it still is even with the increase!

This is what I really wanted to see, glad folks

Thanks for the great comparison. Exactly what I was looking for.

I really like the laptop reviews on this channel more than any other video.

@@melaniesaavedra7872 It depends much from the temperature of the environment where you are planning to use it. In my case, I bought the Matebook X Pro in August. At first, the fan was almost always on, at the point that I was planning to return it. But, by the end of September, I noticed that the fan went off most the time and the notebook was really quiet: quietness is really important to me, as I bought and use it for working from home, because of the coronavirus problems you all know. What had changed from August to September was not the way I was using it, but the environmental temperature of my room, which had decreased from 25-27°C in August, to 22-23°C of September. Now, It’s about 18-20°C and the notebook is quiet for most of the time when I use it for working, which comprises reading and writing documents almost all the time. Otherwise, I also use it for watching videos and stream films, connecting it to an external monitor using the usb type C cable (which I find being much more convenient than the hdmi connection): during these use scenarios, the fan goes on and becomes more audible, although it’s almost never annoying. BTW, when I watch videos or films, I found myself wearing headphones. Sometimes I also play games: in this case, the fan runs much more faster and becomes strongly audible. Anyway, overall I think It’s a good notebook, both for work and play. The display is really good and my eyes don’t strain, even after long use sessions. It’s also educate enough to be quiet and to not disturb while I’m working. Another aspect I’m really enjoying, is that it’s also a really dependable companion: among work and play, it runs for over 12 hours per day, and it works really well all the time, always as expected. Finally, I really have appreciated that the Huawey's Windows installation is a plain one, without bloatware. While the Huawey tool, the only one I found being pre-installed, It’s really well done and useful to maintain updated the notebook and, perhaps the most important thing, to limit the battery charge while the notebook is power connected: in this way, battery's lifespan should improve. Last but not least, Linux runs really well on it. Hope this helps.

Nice review, and wallpapers!

I just love the 45 watt Ryzen 4600h in the Matebook 14. Though these are thin and lights in form it's a real asset. When the graft of a day's work is done in a spot of gaming is a great way to unwind. To Work, media, social networks, photo editing and light gaming all for just a deuse over 700 quid is a great deal. It has a great metal build, 2k touch screen, fast charging too and the speakers are reasonable too.I can't think of any other laptop in this price range that comes close to the quality of a Matebook 14 2020

Nice comparison! Even though Huawei states a brightness of only 300 nits for the Matebook 14 a couple of reviews claim that it's around 385 nits.. so definitely not bad at all! Backlight bleed is another story though, but I guess recent mid-tier panels are just poor in general in that regard. e: typo

Dope presentation I'm a simp but I kinda have an idea of what's going on keep at it lad

9:09 I love how you look at the laptops like a proud dad. They look great tho. Especially that Matebook X. I'm waiting to see what Apple's new MacBooks are gonna be like. I've been using a MacBook Retina 12' for about two years now. Huawei have clearly taken inspiration exactly from this one when it comes to the X. The MacBook is underpowered, but still lighter tho, at under 1kg. That's by far my favourite thing about it.

the review was just awesome

Got myself a Matebook 14, and loving it!

It is highly likely that you are gonna get to a million subs by the end of this year-Lets all try hard and do it for him-come on techchap good video btw-🙂......

Just got the X Pro and it's a wonderful laptop. Works just fine for the basic tasks I ask him to do and has a hell of a good battery. The glossy finish can be sort of annoying in some situations. Anyways, I think it was a good deal at the black friday price of 1,2K€ for the i7 version. Love your vids by the way, I subscribed.

I like the Blue/Green - Teal color but it doesn't make up the cost differences especially when some of the hardware is not the latest available.

2 hot 2 handle! The Matebooks I mean, of course :) They look really nice though

I got the matebook x pro 2021 and I am so happy with it 😍

These are 3 laptops that I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat if what they wanted was productivity use such as internet browsing and working with ms office packages. I personally use the Matebook x pro 2018 model, and I still have almost no complaints (wish the screen was matte instead of gloss finish because it may cause some problems with viewing when there is indirect light). As for battery life, when connected to the internet I can still get around 7 to 8 hours, however in airplane mode I am actually able to get up to 13 hours sometimes depending on what I use it for. Also, these are great for any programmers looking to upgrade cos they can handle multiple development environments easily. I personally have around 5 virtual machines within mine, and the laptop is able to run 2 or more of them simultaneously without breaking a sweat.

X Pro (and maybe others too) does have thunderbolt support, although it's not official.

Got the matebook 14 intel i5 11th gen. Amazing screen and excellent build quality. Super premium without burning a hole in your pocket. At least in my country.

Awesome videos! You've got gorgeous desktop walpapers too. Where do you get them? Thanks in advance.

Does it open with a single finger? Because mine doesn’t.

I have just bought the 14 with the Ryzen 7 for around 780 euros I think it was and at 60 years old I have had a few laptops in my time for work reasons. The notebook is in my view one of the best I have ever had and am very pleased with it's performance, screen aspect ratio makes it ideal for creating and using documents. good for editing videos, great to type on and a massive battery life. Well worth every Euro.

The Matebook X Pro does have Thunderbolt, you can download the driver from Huawei's PC Manager. I'm not sure about the others.

I know this video is from 3 months ago, but i like the Matebook 14 (the cheapest with the amd ryzen) the most.

My personal and honest opinion - Huawei make some of the best laptops on the marker right now. I've been using my Mateboox X Pro (2018) for more than 2 years now and honestly speaking it is the best laptop I've ever had for both portability and my daily tasks which consist of office work, photo editing and browsing as well as light gaming every now and then. Design and overall quality turned out to be of very high standard. My MTBXP has Thunderbold 3 but I have never used it so can't speak on that. Speakers are great, screen is fantastic. Camera angle isn't an issue as I'm mainly using my laptop on the laptop stand (by the way, I highly recommend to get one, your back and eyes won't lie) which gives it a better view. Absolutely love it. 2 years on and it still keeps heads turning.

That H series processor is a huge plus imo, not many notebooks have one

the x pro 2020 doesn't have dolby atmos (only the 2019 and 2018), can you do an audio comparison between the 2020 and the 2019 or 2018?

I'd take all the functionality, features of the Matebook X Pro and put it into the Matebook X.

Thanks for your videos! I'm really stuck between choosing either the Matebook 14 Ryzen 5 vs the 13 Ryzen 7 or Intel I7. Last laptop is a Lenovo Z580 so I know anything I get will more than do the job by comparison. Will be general use, some light gaming, photo editing. Any thoughts?

i saw it in store and it looks soooo similar to my macbook pro 2014. Screen quality, built quality, color....well done huawei

Great video ! btw can you give the link for the wallpaper in your desktop ? :)

Wish you would have covered the 14 with adjusted TDP in ryzen master. That design is not adequate for a 45W chip and it regularly hits above 100 degrees and is the only renoir laptop I've seen get anywhere close to that. Huawei obviously chose the H series chips because the lack of U series chips with SMT and this chip should be clocked down to 15-25W if you plan to use it long term

Sithu Aung yeah the last 2-4 years the other notebook producing companies kept up very well, even a 500$ convertible i bought for my mum got already a pretty nice glass touchpad, but the keyboard isnt that impressive (and not backlit, something she wanted but it wasnt worth the higher price) still the much newer hardware makes out of my 2010MBP a slow turtle and even the battery runtime, thanks to Vega3 and Ryzen U-CPU is already much ahead of my macs one. But hey 9 years difference. However as i saw the price of this huawei stuff i was impressed... i really though this is a cheap option for thin and light notebooks, but they also oriented on „Mac-prices“ since its a little bit of a MacBook Air/non Pro copy at least the hardware and quality is decent, thats why i bought 10 years ago a MacBook Pro which was an absolute perfect choice - it lasted long and it was the best combination of computing-power, weight, battery runtime and robustness. Times changed, and despite newer Macs are so far away from „special“ already in barely every point... the prices even rised I would have even paid the MBP16s price... but only with real „Pro“ capabilities like user replaceable battery, SSD, probably also RAM. Luckily my 2010 fits this demands thats why im still on an old mac and i love it (despite the fact it barely runs any game from 2012 or newer, theres the RTX notebook for)
