Fantastic design, Beautiful and unique display, Great audio capabilities
High price, Limited connectivity options, Lackluster battery life
You may be nervous to buy the MateBook X considering the manufacturer hasn't dabbled in the computing space much before, but Huawei has succeeded in its first attempt. This device is sleek, offers everything you'd expect for an enjoyable experience and ha...
Not at its current expected price. We must assume it will be expensive until told otherwise, and the fact it currently seems more expensive than competitors is a major issue. It's a great laptop, but it's hard to imagine paying $500 more for the Matebook...
The MateBook X would be an impressive laptop under any circumstances - the fact that it's Huawei's first just makes it even more so. Huawei has definitely nailed the design and build quality, while the keyboard is also impressively tactile for such a thin...

Every laptop design is a compromise between portability, power, battery life and design, and the MacBook X is no exception. It sacrifices power for a fanless and highly portable design which I prefer to the Dell XPS 13 but also forsakes the exceptional ba...
Copycat concept, Unexceptional Dolby Atmos sound, No Rose Gold in US/UK
If the latest MacBook Pro disappointed you, the MateBook X delivers with a fingerprint scanner, function keys and a keyboard with better travel. Priced right, it could be a force to be reckoned with...
The MateBook X starts at €1399, which will probably equate to about £1200 inc VAT. That puts it at a higher price than the base model ZenBook 3, but with all the perks of a seemingly higher-spec screen, better speakers and fanless design. My full review w...

Slim and light design, Great display with minimal bezel, Good keyboard and typing experience, Excellent sound quality (with Dolby Atmos), Fingerprint scanner in perfect position
Likely to be expensive (prices yet to be revealed), Slightly limited connectivity, Gets hot under load, Battery life not best-in-class, Backlight not the best from all angles
First impressions are good. The MateBook X provides another option if you're after a premium thin and light laptop; exactly how well it runs under pressure and how the 41.1Wh battery will last remains to be seen. Huawei says it's good for 10 hours of use...
It's hard to give a definitive verdict on a laptop we have only used for a few hours but signals are very positive for the MateBook X. Huawei has definitely nailed the design and build quality, while the keyboard is also impressively tactile for such a th...
