The Huawei MateBook X strikes a beautiful balance. If you or your company prefer Windows to macOS and are prepared to put down around £1,000 for the base model, you have a handful of choices: the Asus Zenbook 3, Dell XPS 13, Microsoft Surface Laptop or Hu...

Fantastic design, Beautiful and unique display, Great audio capabilities
High price, Limited connectivity options, Lackluster battery life
You may be nervous to buy the MateBook X considering the manufacturer hasn't dabbled in the computing space much before, but Huawei has succeeded in its first attempt. This device is sleek, offers everything you'd expect for an enjoyable experience and ha...
Not at its current expected price. We must assume it will be expensive until told otherwise, and the fact it currently seems more expensive than competitors is a major issue. It's a great laptop, but it's hard to imagine paying $500 more for the Matebook...
The MateBook X would be an impressive laptop under any circumstances - the fact that it's Huawei's first just makes it even more so. Huawei has definitely nailed the design and build quality, while the keyboard is also impressively tactile for such a thin...

Every laptop design is a compromise between portability, power, battery life and design, and the MacBook X is no exception. It sacrifices power for a fanless and highly portable design which I prefer to the Dell XPS 13 but also forsakes the exceptional ba...
Copycat concept, Unexceptional Dolby Atmos sound, No Rose Gold in US/UK
If the latest MacBook Pro disappointed you, the MateBook X delivers with a fingerprint scanner, function keys and a keyboard with better travel. Priced right, it could be a force to be reckoned with...

First impressions are good. The MateBook X provides another option if you're after a premium thin and light laptop; exactly how well it runs under pressure and how the 41.1Wh battery will last remains to be seen. Huawei says it's good for 10 hours of use...
