The Huawei MateBook 13 may look like a MacBook Pro but it is genuinely one of the most interesting and value for money 13-inch notebooks you can buy today. For a start, unlike many other brands, Huawei only offers it a single configuration. Thankfully, it’s a sensible one that comes with a Core i5-10210U processor with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. It also has discrete graphics in the form of NVIDIA’s GeForce MX250.
It’s fairly compact, measuring just 14.9mm and weighing a handy 1.3kg. The body is aluminum, but doesn’t have a unibody construction like the MacBook Pro. Still, it feels sturdy and strong.
One unique aspect of the MateBook 13 is the 13-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The upside here is that you have a lot more vertical space, making it easier to read long emails, spreadsheets, and websites at a glance.
