Update 7/18/2016
Huawei reached out to us with an official statement
Thanks for takin
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

Slim and well built Windows 10 tablet, fingerprint scanner is great, keyboard and trackpad work well, optional MatePen stylus
Poor battery life, keyboard not included, stand is limited by available angles and no good for on-the-go lap work, just one USB-C port
At first glance the Huawei MateBook gets lots right as 2-in1s go: it's slim, well made, has a decent size keyboard and trackpad (if you buy it anyway), plus a built-in fingerprint scanner that helps stand it out from the crowd. It's not as powerful...
The Huawei Matebook does several things right, but in the end, you'll be wishing you'd paid a little bit more for the extra convenience afforded by the Surface Pro 4. The Matebook has a lovely screen, a beautiful design and reasonably quick performance, b...
