Huawei Matebook X Pro first look
- Hello from fake business class. I am here with the Huawei Matebook X Pro. Now there are two really
interesting and cool things about this laptop, and I promise you that I will tell you them, but first, we're gonna get
through the boring things. There is a USB A port,
there are two USB C ports, inside there are core I5
or I7 8th gen processors, there's a mx150 discrete GPU from NVIDIA, it pretty much looks a
lot like a MacBook Pro, it even has the same weird cursor keys and speaker layout, and it
even comes in space gray, so make of that what you will.
But there are some cool things about it. Number one, just look at the screen. I mean, the bezels in this
thing are absolutely tiny. Huawei says the screen
to body ratio is 91%, which is higher than any
laptop I've ever heard of.
Even on the bottom, it's
a very very small bezel, which is something where a
lot of laptop makers slip up. Since there is no giant
bezel in the bottom, you may be wondering, where is the webcam? Well, that brings me to point number two. Uh, where do you think it is? It's actually here,
it's hidden in this key. And if I press the key, it
pops up, there's your webcam.
Now, I'm just gonna say
straight up that this is not a great angle for a webcam. I am looking at the camera mode here. So when I'm sitting in a natural position, I have a great view of my
chest and my shoulders, and maybe the bottom of my chin. So you kinda need to...
Like, maybe you can make it work if you're in business
class like this fake plane, but I think if you're, well,
if you're using a webcam in an economy plane, I'm
not sure what you're doing in the first place,
but it's not gonna work in a lot of situations is what I'm saying. But yeah, if nothing else,
it is a neat design I think, because you would have
no idea that there was a webcam in here. It's perfectly integrated
into the function row keys, and it's an IT solution. Not sure how practical it
is, but it's an IT solution.
So yeah, this is looking like
a pretty solid laptop overall. It feels good, the build
quality is very solid, the design is a little less
derivative when you close it, cause it has this whole
wedge thing going on. The keyboard is pretty good. The travel's not super
high, but I think you could get used to it.
Same with the track
pad, which is very big, and pretty responsive. The screen is great, beyond the bezels, it's 3,000 by 2,000 resolution,
so that's super high, and it makes it a three
by two aspect ratio, which is the same as what you would get on a surface device,
so no complaints there. We'll be spending more
time with this laptop in the very near future, I will expect. It is coming out in Q2 around the world.
We only have European pricing right now, but it's going for 1,499 euros
for the lowest end model. This guy is filming,
Vjeran, he's being weird. Get away. Can you hear me? I don't know, maybe.
Anyway, are we good?.
