Peripheral pricing quickly adds up

After using the Huawei Matebook for a short period of time we found that the 12-inch tablet was a pretty damn good 2-in-1 for Huawei's first foray into the PC market. We were happy with the performance of the MateBook model that we tested with the Intel C...
Thin, solidly built tablet looks and feels great, Nice ecosystem of accessories right out of the gate, Really well done fingerprint scanner, Bloatfree Windows 10
Not quite as wellequipped as Surface Pro 4, Extremely limited port selection, Performance may not be adequate for power users, Accessories add significantly to cost and decrease mobility
Huawei's put together a perfectly solid tablet, with options for a decent amount of processing power, storage, and memory. While the most demanding users may crave a little more from the MateBook, we think that many people will be plenty happy with what i...
The main drawback to the MateBook for me is the keyboard, along with the lack of a way to prop up the device if a third party keyboard is used. I'd also recommend getting a model with 8GB RAM to anyone considering this purchase.Other than that, the Huawei...

Slim, elegant with a premium look and feel. Works with optional pen, nice display, silent fanless design
Keyboard, pen and dock sold separately and easily bring price up. Keyboard portfolio design could be even better
The Huawei MateBook is an excellent first foray into the world of Windows tablets. It's chic, well made, has an aluminum back and slim bezels. The accessories are a welcome and necessary compliment to a tablet that has just one USB-C port and a headphone...
Keyboard cover is optional, cover props tablet up at limited angles, no SDcard slot, short battery life
The Huawei MateBook, which will be available for purchase on July 11, has some good things going for it, including an excellent display, a convenient fingerprint reader and a good choice of specs.But, as with Microsoft's Surface, there is really no advant...

The Huawei MateBook is one of a growing list of alternatives to the Microsoft Surface product line. Microsoft might have popularized the form factor but its primary goal was to do this exact thing: spark innovation and growth. The MateBook slims down the...
MateBook: fashionable & powerful enough 2-in-1 w/ less than desirable battery life compared to the competition. Think of the MateBook as a more powerful & fashionable version of Galaxy Tab Pro S. But this time around, you access to additional ports w/ t...
