Introduction: This is Huawei MateBook

When I first left school, I wanted a laptop that was affordable and had excellent performance; after working in society for many years, what I wanted was a laptop that had super performance. , top-notch screen and good keyboard design; and now, the ideal laptop I want needs to be thin enough, light enough and have excellent battery life. If the performance can also be guaranteed, then it will obviously be more perfect!

In fact, as early as two years ago, I saw a laptop product that exactly matched my imagination - it was the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon series, with its thin and light body and ultra- The strong battery life and excellent performance make me unable to move away. Emmm, although I couldn’t afford it due to my limited wallet at the time, it was indeed the ideal product in my dream.

It wasn’t until recently that I experienced Huawei’s new generation of new products, Huawei MateBook It is a notebook product with good looks, thinness, lightness and portability, but in my opinion, aside from good looks, its most practical features are its thinness, lightness and portability, sufficient battery life and excellent performance. Although it has been several days since the new product was released, I still want to talk to you about this Huawei MateBook X laptop that I experienced at the scene - the "macho color" Sakura Pink color version.

A full-screen visual feast for macho fans

To be honest, today’s public aesthetics are indeed hard to understand, but this does not prevent the pink color scheme from being originally a girly color. Now it also appears on boys’ desktops. Emmmm, is this called beauty of contrast? Just like the Huawei MateBook X Yingyu powder I saw on site, it is indeed more elegant and majestic than the death Barbie powder.

Judging from the color matching of the real machine, the Huawei MateBook What's more, if even the keyboard is made in pink, it will really be a girly pink.

Side A is relatively simple, with only the "HUAWEI" logo on it. It is a good thing that there is no redundant design.

I am used to the screens of traditional laptop products, but since Huawei began to lead the way in making laptop screens full-screen... Well! I really can’t go back to my previous style. MateBook The effect is excellent! If the border of the screen is also made in pink, it will definitely be more perfect!

As mentioned earlier, the keyboard of this notebook still uses a black keycap design, which cannot match the color of Sakura Pink; judging from the on-site typing experience, its keys The travel is slightly shorter, the touch is softer, and there is no mechanical feedback like a game notebook. But for daily office typing and other things, what I want is a mute effect, so this is not a big problem.

By the way, this keyboard can also automatically adjust the backlight. It is officially called a 1.33mm scissor keyboard - do you understand the short key travel? But I don’t understand what naming means.

Fortunately, the power button in the upper right corner is also designed in a pink button style, and the integrated visual effect is good; this button is a two-in-one design for fingerprint unlocking and power button, which is more convenient to use.

The integration of this touchpad and the fuselage is relatively natural, but the details lack the "mark for touch use"; the official said this is called the HUAWEI Free Touch pressure touchpad, with a larger control area and It also supports full-area press vibration feedback.

This touchpad also has the sharing and interaction function of this laptop product and other cross-border terminal products of Huawei - that is, the sharing tag function, which only requires a light touch of Huawei absorbent Touchpad, interconnection and multi-screen collaboration between mobile phones, tablets and laptops can be achieved.

Judging from my touch experience, I have not found any flaws with this touchpad. If you want to say that the operating experience is more sensitive, I can't feel it.

The design of the bottom of the D side is the same as that of traditional notebook products. Although it is extremely slim, the bottom is also very refreshing. It is only equipped with a soft rubber pad as a buffer between the notebook and the flat surface. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong - where are the cooling vents? In addition, there are no cooling vents on the side. Where are they?

Hidden design: for better and more dazzling?

Continuing with the above, we will find that not only the heat dissipation holes that this notebook should have are missing, but also the speakers seem to be missing? Where are they hidden?

First, let’s talk about where its speakers are hidden: Huawei MateBook 3D sound. It's well hidden and saves space, but I'm a little worried that after using it for a long time, junk and other debris will fall into the gaps between the keyboard and affect the performance of the speaker.

In addition, this laptop product is also designed with dual microphones, which facilitates accurate sound pickup and facilitates communication such as video/conferencing.

I also can't find any place to provide heat dissipation for this product. I originally thought it was on the keyboard, but the official launch is on the hinge of the screen. . . It is said that this is also a black technology. There is a precedent for heat dissipation through the keyboard hole. Is there any use of a rotating shaft? I don't seem to be impressed. Considering that the hardware performance of Huawei MateBook X is not bad, the issue of heat dissipation still needs to be cautious. Judging from the on-site experience, there is no obvious heating on the traditional C-side hand rest and bottom surface. It seems that its heat dissipation capacity is pretty good?

What is hidden is also its camera - it is hidden by an independently designed lifting keycap. I thought this position was not suitable for front-facing use, but after considering it raised In fact, it is considered an "elevation" angle, so it is not considered a "death selfie" angle. For daily videos, the angle should not be a big problem; and the official explanation of its role is to protect privacy and prevent peeping. What do you think?

Huawei MateBook Although it is a little smaller than the traditional one, there is also hidden thought in the function settings.

Extremely thin? Is the 10th generation Core more powerful?

Before this product was officially launched, Huawei secretly used a warm-up word to describe this product - "smaller than A4 paper" to illustrate its small size. , slimmer.

Judging from the thickness of the real phone seen on site, it is indeed slim enough. Compared with the Huawei P40 Pro and its bottom body, the phone is even thicker. ; And even with the screen, its thickness can be called "slim", which is my ideal slim effect.

The advantages of the extremely slim and compact size are too many for me. I can easily carry it out because it weighs only 1kg, which is not even heavier than two books. The weight is heavier; when I need it, I can easily use it in high-speed rail waiting halls and airplane waiting areas without much burden. I can easily hold it up with my own thighs and use it as a workbench; like this It is so light and thin that you can even hold it with one hand for on-site use.

With such a light weight, can it be used to open and close a computer with one hand? I tried it on site and found no major problems. Although the screen needs to be unfolded more carefully, the screen can indeed be opened with one hand.

In terms of hardware, Huawei MateBook The extremely thin appearance has good hardware performance, and its battery life is said to have reached 9 hours. In this regard, although it is not as good as other products of the same type, it is already the best among domestic business notebooks. A remarkable existence.

At the system level, Huawei’s most proud multi-screen collaboration and Huawei cloud space will be carried forward on this product. Huawei is not the first in terms of innovation to open up cross-border systems for different terminals, but at least Huawei uses it better and only uses it in its own ecosystem. For its own users, this is exactly the same as another one. An "Apple ecosystem"--oh no! It seems to be an even rarer innovation in the Windows ecosystem.

Summary:

How to deal with different needs in different eras? How to cope with the needs of business office in the 5G era? Different brands and different users will have different answers, and Huawei MateBook X’s answer is: lightweight, simple design, and data “interaction” across different terminals.

Boldly selecting various youthful and beautiful colors and putting them into action is another "breakthrough" attempt by Huawei on the serious topic of "business office". Regardless of whether cute girls prefer Yingyu fans or macho men prefer this color scheme, at least users don’t need to make horizontal comparisons when it comes to selection. The fly in the ointment is that in this color matching attempt, its C side (keyboard part) is not an integrated color match. The fly in the ointment is that there are still a few expansion interfaces. The fly in the ointment is that its battery life has not reached the top level of business laptops. the "height".

But it does at least one thing well: Huawei users can use it to better enjoy an important part of the mobile office ecosystem that Huawei has created!
