The MateBook D16 is larger than any of its rivals this month, with a 16in display its most dominant feature. And don’t think this laptop is an immovable feast: at 1.7kg, the D16 is a great option for those who like to work and play in different areas of the house rather than sitting at a desk all day.
A £1,000 price is similarly sizeable in this month’s company, but that’s because its size comes with power attached. Intel’s 13th generation Core i9-13900H is the most powerful processor in this Labs by a distance, and Huawei pairs it with a 1TB SSD drive and 16GB of memory.
There’s little that stands out style-wise, but the D16 looks smart with its all-metal, grey, aluminium design. Despite its large 357 x 249 footprint, it’s slender at 17mm tall and shouldn’t weigh you down too much with a 1.7kg weight. Its charger is only 200g, too, so for overnight trips it adds up to a surprisingly portable design. It feels comfortable on a lap, too.
