As a tablet nothing other than a built-in stand
Keyboard is okay but not great
Minimal ports
Touchpad with disabilities
Too little physical interfaces
Only two angle of the display
CPU throttling
Relatively short battery life
For the required docking module will have to pay separately
Anemic battery life
Slow SSD
Folding keyboard isn't very sturdy or comfortable
Only one USB Type-C port
Battery life step a behind that of other Surface-style 2-in-1s
Performance can throttle under load
No MicroSD slot or rear-facing camera
And only one USB Type-C
Keyboard
Pen and dock sold separately and easily bring price up. Keyboard portfolio design could be even better
Foldable keyboard doesn't offer the stability of a kickstand
Eliminating the SD card slot is a risky move
No kickstand
Requires adapters for full functionality
Case
Dock
And pen not included
Odd SSD partitioning
No rear camera or SD slot
Only a single USB-C port
Soso battery life
Some design and keyboard nitpicks
MatePen performance needs work
Keyboard case is poorly designed
Battery life is atrocious
Poor heat management
You'll get periodic pauses when launching applications or loading web pages
And battery life is merely OK. Huawei charges extra for the keyboard
Stylus and dock you'll need in order to use the Matebook like a PC
Battery life not great
Keyboard folio costs extra
Has problems
Not quite as wellequipped as Surface Pro 4
Extremely limited port selection
Performance may not be adequate for power users
Accessories add significantly to cost and decrease mobility
MateDock USBA ports don't have much horizontal room for wide peripherals
One keyboard stand angle is not as secure as the other
MateDock leather case magnets don't keep it closed very well
Comparing the Huawei MateBook to an iPad Pro seems unfair. Aside from the design and looks, they're two very different machines. If you want a Windows tablet, you won't want an iPad and if you want an iOS device, you won't want a Windows tablet. If you on...

If you do not take into account our experience in the exhibition, and to rely on the usual tests, the conclusion would have been more positive. The body of the tablet strong and compact, it is made to last. fingerprint sensor works reliably integrated int...

The Huawei MateBook has a lower price than many rival Windows 2-in-1s, while still offering a slim design, a decent screen, and quite respectable performance.That said, its battery life could be better, and the minimalist design will require most users to...

There is a lot to like about the Huawei MateBook — it packs in an excellent high-res display and an attractive design, along with a solid feature set thanks to stylus support, a fingerprint reader, and above average audio. The MateBook has a lot going for...
After using the Huawei Matebook for a short period of time we found that the 12-inch tablet was a pretty damn good 2-in-1 for Huawei's first foray into the PC market. We were happy with the performance of the MateBook model that we tested with the Intel C...

Huawei's put together a perfectly solid tablet, with options for a decent amount of processing power, storage, and memory. While the most demanding users may crave a little more from the MateBook, we think that many people will be plenty happy with what i...
The main drawback to the MateBook for me is the keyboard, along with the lack of a way to prop up the device if a third party keyboard is used. I'd also recommend getting a model with 8GB RAM to anyone considering this purchase.Other than that, the Huawei...
