It captures grainy, rather lifeless video that’s an absolte age behind the excellent webcams built into Apple’s laptops if you work a lot from home and rely on your laptop to take part in online meetings, this is not the laptop for you. It’s innovative, yes, but is it any good. It’s even better than before, though, in that you can now power up the laptop from cold and log in by pressing it once, instead of clicking it to boot up, then tapping it once again at the login screen.Īnd then there’s that popup webcam.
It’s built into the power button above the keyboard to the right and works along with Windows Hello to unlock the laptop with a simple touch. The fingerprint reader remains in place from the first Matebook. Its built-in mechanical click is light enough to enable easy double-presses but doesn’t feel spongy, tiringly heavy or nastily insubstantial. It’s super sensitive, making multitouch gestures simple to carry out and, yet, it rarely succumbs to accidental activation. That huge touchpad works as well as the keyboard. Plus, it’s spill proof, so hot drinks accidents needn’t see the end of your expensive ultraportable. It’s good to see that Huawei has improved the keyboard backlighting, too: there may be only two levels of intensity, but the lighting is much more even than on the first Matebook X and doesn’t leak as badly from the sides of the keys. The keys on the keyboard have a light, yet positive action and just enough space in the troughs around each one to keep typos at bay.įor my money, this is a better keyboard than the one on the current MacBook Pro, in fact, with its super-shallow key action.
I’m going to be charitable here and suggest these issues are principally down to early manufacturing. Huawei Matebook X Pro review: Keyboard, touchpad, audio and connectivityĪside from those problems, though, the Matebook X Pro is every bit as usable as a MacBook Pro. Close scrutiny reveals uneven gaps between the bottom panel and the edging and my review sample arrived with a loose-on-one-side up cursor key. It looks fabulous, but there are some small problems with the fit and finish and, possibly, quality control. The model Huawei sent to me for this review is finished in a satin-smooth “space grey” (it’s also available in silver), complete with “diamond cut” chamfering surrounding the clamshell’s internal edges and a huge, glass-topped touchpad occupying roughly 50% of the palm rest. It’s a display that’s deserving of an equally sumptuous housing and on this front, the Huawei Matebook X Pro shines. It has a punchy contrast ratio of 1,515:1, reproduces 96.2% of the sRGB colour gamut and has superb colour accuracy as well, returning an average Delta E of 1.27. It’s a 3,000 x 2,000 resolution LTPS touchscreen, clad in scratch and smudge-resistant Gorilla Glass and reaches a peak brightness of 488cd/m2, ensuring readability in a wide variety of scenarios. A much needed app for both phone and PC.And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the display, either.
