As a heavyweight manufacturer in the field of basic communications and smart phones, Huawei has been tireless in exploring the personal consumption market. The MateBook series is the touchstone for them to explore the notebook field. Today's protagonist is the heavyweight product MateBook X.

MateBook X is mainly thin and light. It uses a 3:2 13 inch screen with a resolution of 2160 * 1440. The overall size is only 286mm * 211mm, the thickness is only 12.5mm, and the weight is only 1.05kg. It is one of the most thin and lightweight notebooks at present.

MateBook X adopts a minimalist design. The whole machine is very simple, and the transition curve is relatively soft. The whole machine uses a metal one-piece body, and the surface is treated with fine sand blasting, so the texture is excellent. There are three kinds of color matching: streamer gold, deep space grey and rose gold. The one we got is deep space grey, which is gray and black with a trace of metallic silver.

After opening the notebook, the super narrow border screen is quite impressive. Because the 13 inch screen with a 3:2 ratio has a larger display area than the current common 16:9 screen, it looks quite amazing at first glance. The front camera is 1 million pixels, located at the top of the screen, and next to it is a light sensor, which can provide a more conventional shooting angle when using the camera video.

The border of MateBook X is only 4.4 mm wide. The 13 inch screen has a resolution of 2160 * 1440, a pixel density of 200 ppi, and a 100% sRGB color gamut. The parameters are excellent. In addition, MateBook X uses Corning gorilla glass and has anti glare and anti fingerprint coating.

Due to the 3:2 screen, the C-plane layout is slightly different from other notebooks of the same size. Its speakers are located on the top of the keyboard, but on the opposite sides.

The speaker extends from the left side of the body to the right side, covering a large area.

The edge of the keyboard is very close to the edge of the body, but it does not affect the operation. This is also because the 3:2 ratio of the body width is narrower than that of a regular notebook.

Although the size of the body is relatively small, the MateBook X still uses a full-size key cap. The surface of the key cap has a coating and is slightly frosted, but it feels rather harsh.

Although as a thin and light notebook, MateBook still cannot escape the problem of short key stroke, but the typing feel is fairly good, which is basically at the same level as products of the same level. Of course, compared with those "protective case keyboards", the feel is still better.

The touch control panel has a long and thin shape, and the surface treatment is also delicate. It slides smoothly. However, the touch control panel is slightly empty, which slightly affects the touch of keys.

The power button integrated with fingerprint identification is also a highlight of the machine. After fingerprint is set, fingerprint can be unlocked by tapping the button. This is also one of the few notebook products equipped with press fingerprint identification. In terms of interface, the phone only has two USB Type-C (the USB Type-C interface on the left supports charging) and headphone jack, which is relatively weak in scalability, but it comes with MateDock 2, which supports HDMI, DP, USB Type-A and USB Type-C expansion.

In terms of configuration, the machine uses Intel's seventh generation Core i5-7200U processor, with a TDP of 15W. It is currently a mainstream low-voltage mobile processor, and its performance is guaranteed. The high configuration version is equipped with Intel's seventh generation Core i7-7500U processor, which will have more advantages in performance. For other configurations, it is equipped with 4GB/8GB LPDDR3 memory and 256GB/512GB SSD.

As Huawei's contribution in notebook field, MateBook X has made remarkable achievements in terms of workmanship, materials and design. Its thin metal body, high-quality screen and good performance hardware configuration have jointly created this excellent MateBook X. Although it is somewhat prohibitive in terms of cost performance, it is still a light and thin notebook product worth choosing.
