Huawei's flagship ultraportable notebook is the MateBook X Pro and it has recently been given a thorough makeover.
A key update is its larger 14.2-inch display. Huawei is sticking with a 3:2 aspect ratio which I find preferable for work. It has a resolution of 3120 x 2080 pixels, meets VESA's DisplayHDR 400 standards, and supports the P3 colour space. Maximum brightness is claimed to be 500 nits, and it has an above-average refresh rate of 90Hz. This isn't an OLED display, but I think most users will have no complaints.
The chassis is made of magnesium alloy and it has a special coat to give it a textured finish that feels like some kind of soft-touch material. I’ve never felt a notebook that feels quite like this before. It almost feels like it’s in some sort of a notebook sleeve and yet it isn’t. And because it’s magnesium, the MateBook X Pro weighs just 1.26kg. The bezels are thin and Huawei claims a 92.5% screen-to-body ratio. Consequently, the notebook is roughly the same size as most 13-inch notebooks. At 15.5mm thin, the MateBook X Pro is a very portable notebook.
The other big change comes in the form of Intel’s new Alder Lake 12th Gen Core processor. You’ll get a fairly powerful Core i7-1260P processor paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
As for ports, you have four USB-C ports. The two on the left support Thunderbolt 4 while the two on the opposite side are USB 3.2 Gen 2. You can use any of the USB-C ports for charging.
