One of the most surprising products that many wouldn't expect to find in Huawei's catalog is the MateBook Pro X. This convertible laptop is an incredible option to consider, and for many, it surpasses Apple's MacBook Pro. So, the manufacturer has continued in that vein and today presents the new MateBook 13.
Huawei MateBook 13: same idea with a better price
Basically, what Huawei wants to achieve with this new MateBook 13 is to fill a gap between the all-powerful MateBook Pro X and the MateBook D , offering an intermediate device with great features and a good price for those who are not looking for either the most basic or the top of the range, but maintaining an excellent design.
The similarity with its brothers is undeniable, since we will find some details such as the fingerprint reader placed next to the keyboard. Of course, the peculiar webcam of the MeteBook Pro X located in the lower bezel has been replaced by a more traditional one placed in the upper bezel of the screen.
Key features
This results in a very well-finished device (though not quite as good as the MateBook Pro X) that houses either a Core i5-8265U or a Core i7-8565U processor (both eighth generation), 8 GB of RAM, 256/512 GB of storage, and NVIDIA MX150 graphics. At 14,9 millimeters thick, it's thinner than a MacBook Air, but not as thin as the new Zenbook S13 , which also features NVIDIA MX150 graphics.
On each side of the MateBook 13 we will have a USB C port, one of them, the right, for transfers and charging, while the left will be in charge of DisplayPort functions (in addition to transfers, of course). There will also be a headphone port, so relax, you will be able to continue connecting your favorite models.
Price and release date of the MateBook 13
Although Huawei hasn't yet announced its European launch, in the United States the manufacturer will begin shipping its new laptop on January 29th . The Core i5 model will be priced at $999 , while the top-of-the-line Core i7 model will cost $1.299 . We imagine the prices in euros will be very close to a 1:1 conversion, so you can get a general idea of ​​how much this interesting Huawei laptop will cost.
