Abstract: During the last year, Huawei has established itself as a company capable of making premium, smartly-designed devices that are an absolute pleasure to use – including the Huawei Watch , which was our favorite smartwatch of 2015, and the (Google collaborati...
Stunning display, Exceptionally thin and light design, Well-priced, especially in its base configuration, Handy optional accessory dock
Battery life step a behind that of other Surface-style 2-in-1s, Performance can throttle under load, No MicroSD slot or rear-facing camera, and only one USB Type-C
Huawei's first 2-in-1 is a handsome, Surface-style Core M model that's as trim as the best of them. We'd like just two things more: better battery life, and a bit more pep for the price. Read More…...
Solid performance, among the upper echelon of convertible tablets, Luxurious faux-leather cases exude quality, Some artful design touches, including "nests" to store expansion cables
Foldable keyboard doesn't offer the stability of a kickstand, Battery life is disappointing, Eliminating the SD card slot is a risky move
Huawei's MateBook convertible Windows tablet offers good performance packaged inside luxurious faux-leather cases. But the company leaned a bit too much toward fashion, sacrificing utility in the process...

One of the thinnest and lightest Windows tablets on the market, QHD screen, Custom-fitted accessories,
No kickstand, Requires adapters for full functionality, Case, dock, and pen not included, Odd SSD partitioning, No rear camera or SD slot, Only a single USB-C port
The Huawei MateBook is one of the thinnest and lightest 12-inch Windows tablets you can buy, but be prepared to add a lot of necessary accessories to the shopping cart when you order one...
Great build, attractive display, Stable and swift performance, The price is right, Bundled with extremely useful USB adapters
Soso battery life, Some design and keyboard nitpicks, MatePen performance needs work
Huawei didn't eliminate the standard ultrathin 2-in-1 tradeoff with its Windows 10 MateBook. But it worked around it by bundling an extra adapter and cable, and keeping its price below the competition. On top of that, it built a device that excels in all...
Keyboard case is poorly designed, Battery life is atrocious, Poor heat management
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
The Huawei Matebook fits a full Windows 10 PC into an iPad-sized tablet chassis. The fingerprint sensor is fast. Its screen and speakers are excellent
You'll get periodic pauses when launching applications or loading web pages, and battery life is merely OK. Huawei charges extra for the keyboard, stylus and dock you'll need in order to use the Matebook like a PC
If you like what the Matebook offers, pick the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S instead. The TabPro S has an even better screen, better battery life and throws the keyboard in for free...

Gorgeous hardware design, Windows 10 Signature Edition, Windows Hello Fingerprint scanner, Leather folding keyboard cover, Fast charging via USBC, Optional stylus includes presentation control buttons and laser pointer, Huge hardware compatibility ecosyst
MateDock USBA ports don't have much horizontal room for wide peripherals, One keyboard stand angle is not as secure as the other, MateDock leather case magnets don't keep it closed very well, No HyperV virtualization support, No internal Micro SD storage
The MateBook is Huawei's first attempt at a Windows 10 tablet PC, and it's a home run. It's got the clean Windows 10 “Signature Edition” software, all the hardware drivers are working beautifully (except for one time when the fingerprint scanner didn't...
Display is merely average, Keyboard is sold separately, And it's terrible, And it makes a terrible kickstand
The MateBook proves that Huawei can make a good looking device, but its keyboard cover has so many issues you wouldn't want one. Hardware "Wow, that looks expensive." That's something I've heard, unprompted, from several people while testing the...
