Review Huawei MateBook X Pro notebook

Despite the wide variety of laptops presented on the shelves of electronics stores and online markets, it is not easy to find a truly powerful and productive device. If you want to buy a quality device, the first thought that comes to mind is Apple.

However, laptops of this brand are not equipped with licensed Windows, to which domestic users are so accustomed. To the delight of the domestic buyer, there are young “players” on the electronics market who are gaining popularity due to the presentation of quality products. One of them is the Huawei brand, which introduced the MateBook X Pro portable personal computer.

About the brand

Currently, there are many brands on the electronic goods market that are heard by the consumer. However, few know the details of their journey to the top of fame and customer recognition. Huawei is not familiar to many users. The Republic of China, where the company began its existence, for a long time did not reveal secrets either about the company itself or about its technologies. Before the first touchscreen phones appeared on the market, only a few design specialists had heard about this brand.

Today it is one of the largest organizations in China engaged in the production and transmission of television programs. It is based on individual development, ideas and research. The brand is one of the most influential in the world.

From the first days of its existence, the company's activity was aimed at reselling devices for switching subscriber connecting and long-distance telephone lines. The founder of the company, engineer Zhenfei, could not produce and sell his own products, since he did not have any money at that time. And to create your own devices, a considerable investment was required. However, the founding engineer did not give up and after a couple of years, having saved up money, he expanded and began to multiply his business.

The founder invested the proceeds from the resale of switching devices in his own research and development. A year later, it was decided to start manufacturing and selling their own communication devices. The company stopped reselling other people's products, and began to sell equipment made by itself. And a few years later, the manufacturing brand acquired the research center that Zhengfei had always dreamed of. Even the most eminent brands cannot boast of such success in such a short time of existence.

Development of the industry has been the company's aspiration throughout its activity. The company's management supports any cooperation and joint achievement of success. Thanks to close work with many partners in the research and development of innovative products, the company increases the value of information technologies, creates a successful system of mutually beneficial cooperation. Today, Huawei is actively involved in the work of more than 350 companies united to maintain and develop open source software.The company's specialists have made more than forty thousand proposals for standardization, which contribute to closer and more fruitful cooperation in the industry.

Together with its partners, the company is currently working on the continuous development of the industry, as well as such innovations as:

• distributed data processing technologies, in which computer resources and capacities are provided to the user as an Internet service;
• data transmission networks, in which the control level is separated from the data transmission device and is implemented in software;
• network architecture concepts that propose the use of network virtualization technologies with 5G function.

Throughout the entire activity of the company, headquarters, research centers and factories have appeared in more than 150 countries of the world. Today, the manufacturing company employs about 175,000 people, of which more than 45,000 people work at the company's head office in Shenzhen. Half of the company's staff are engineers and developers who are engaged in research activities.

In fifteen leading countries of the world, the Huawei brand has the largest research and development centers. And the main financial investments of the company are aimed at the development of technologies related to telecommunications - communication at a distance through the World Wide Web. The main directions of the company's activity today are:

• design and construction of complexes of technical means of telecommunications and structures intended for routing;
• global communications services, which include high-speed Internet service, as well as consulting both individual users and huge corporations;
• creation and promotion of mobile gadgets under its own brand. At the moment, touchscreen phones are the key products of the company. In addition, the range of devices also includes: wireless modem modules and routers, devices for telecommunications, tablets, personal and stationary electronic computers.

Description and specifications of MateBook X Pro

The young company from the Middle Kingdom, unlike its compatriot competitors, who promise to release products no worse than Apple, kept their word. And at the end of 2017, it released a full-fledged laptop MateBook X Pro, which surpassed similar devices from the most famous brands in performance.

Screen

In the innovative new product from Huawei, the display is the most impressive. In this device, not only the side frames are made as refined as possible, but also the upper and lower ones. Looking at the device, it visually gives the impression that the upper part of the gadget consists of one monitor and nothing else.

The designers have equipped the laptop with a 13-inch and 9-inch low-temperature polycrystalline silicon technology. Thanks to this technology, the pixel density of the display is increased, and the added bonus is the reduced power consumption. The aspect ratio to the height is 3 by 2, which emphasizes the business style of the device. Despite the fact that the video on such a monitor will have wide dark stripes, all other tasks on a laptop will be very convenient to perform.

When working with documentation, programs or viewing content, this monitor will contain much more information. And you will have to scroll the page much less often. The display of the device itself is touch-sensitive, glossy. The quality of the display is at a very high level: the picture is juicy and rich. And the manufacturer himself claims to have one hundred percent coverage of the color spectrum. At the same time, the picture does not look faded even on the street. The brightness of the LED backlight is sufficient even for working in the darkest room.

The almost one hundred percent "frameless" device is very impressive - the monitor occupies 92 percent of the entire lid area.This option appeared in the laptop due to the fact that the designers hid the webcam right into the keyboard. The module is integrated between the f6 and f7 buttons with a separate key. When pressed, it jumps out, and when used, a white indicator on the button lights up.

Memory and processor

The platform of the device is equipped on the basis of the eighth generation Intel Core microarchitecture. High-performance desktop and laptop chips built for gamers, streaming, and recording. In addition to the integrated Graphics 620 video adapter with functional unified processors, the device received a video card on a separate board.

NVIDIA GeForce MX150 has a 64-bit bus, Pascal architecture with two gigabytes of memory. It shows itself well in modern shooters, successfully competing with other video cards.

Has 8 gigabytes of RAM modification Low Power DDR with an option to reduce the level of power consumption. Additional savings come from increased refresh times at low temperatures. In synthetic tests and real-life tasks, the device shows good results thanks to the powerful changing graphics.

Autonomy

The manufacturer's application indicates that the device is capable of working 11-12.5 hours on a single charge. However, in practice, such an application is significantly overstated. When watching content or visiting social networks, the device will work without recharging up to 9-10 hours, during active games - 3-4. At the same time, taking the device with you when making a voyage on an airplane or train, you can be sure that its autonomy will be enough for a six to seven hour trip with not very active work and display brightness 40% -45%.

Wireless interfaces and sound

The device is equipped with a complete set of wireless connection points and conductors for data transfer and input: Bluetooth 4 module and Wi-Fi distributor. The laptop has its own program from the manufacturer - Tencent PC Manager. The antivirus program has real-time cloud and local protection, updates drivers, firmware and the entire system. Reacts quickly to new types of threats and neutralizes them.

If you have a smartphone from the brand of the same name, using a special program, you can quickly connect to a laptop via an access point, exchange files and information.

As for a laptop with a small screen diagonal, the new product from Huawei has a large volume reserve. The sound quality at the beginning of listening seems normal, but after a couple of minutes you can hear theatrical wide sound coming from the four speakers. In this case, the proportion of low and high frequencies does not change depending on the volume.

Touchpad and keyboard

In the spirit of modern innovation, the keyboard of the device slides downward from light pressure. However, the keys are large. The buttons have a distinct response. Moreover, if the user has not encountered such a move before, he will need to get used to the keyboard for some time.

Due to the increased dimensions of the keys, in contrast to the buttons on standard laptops, these are very convenient and practical to use. The only drawback of the keyboard is the absence of Print Screen, Insert, Page Up. Home and End are only available through Fn. The input device is equipped with a white LED-backlit with two brightness modes, which softly and evenly illuminate the buttons in the dark.

The surface of the touch panel of the device occupies a large area on the device and has the function of fingerprinting. The panel is very convenient to use, it allows you to use different variations of finger gestures in Windows.

The only drawback, according to users, is the simplification of the keyboard and the lack of a card reader. However, compared to the quality of the device, these are just little things that you quickly get used to. Average price: from 105,000 rubles.
