This was a replacement of Lenovo T450s which was a reliable workhorse. My decision was based on the comments made in CES 2019. The first impression about the machine is very high. It feels very solid. After two days of usage, there are some small items that could be better. These are partially based on comparison to MacBook Pro. - The lid cannot be opened with one finger. The other hand is required to keep the machine down. - The scratch pad is not fully working for me. There are either missing actions or phantom actions. I have tried the Windows 10 settings without total satisfaction. - The cooling intake holes at the bottom of the machine are in area that is not available when you are using the machine on your belly. In that case the machine becomes quite warm/hot - There is some slack in the screen hinge. The screen is not staying open as solidly as it should. I am very pleased with the picture quality and the computing performance. I didnt activate the "free" MS Office option due to concern that I have to pay later.

I did a lot of research before deciding on the MateBook 13 to replace my old Surface 2. I wouldve purchased the MateBook X Pro, but the MateBook 13s balanced specs and price really appealed to me. Ive been using the MateBook 13 for a week now and I can honestly say that its the best laptop for under $1000 (I got the i5). The silver color is very sleek and the metal is of high quality finishing, yet its very lightweight at only 2.8 lbs. I can really feel the difference it makes when I dont have to carry a heavy laptop in my purse. It fits perfectly in my work purse because its the same size as 8.5x11 paper. I also like that its a 13 inch laptop with a screen that feels like a 14 inch and a full-size keyboard. It also makes a huge difference to type on a nice chiclet keyboard, and Ive been very productive on it. The package comes with a dongle with USB and HDMI ports that you normally have to purchase separately, but Huawei threw it in for free. I also activated the one free year of Office 365. These are worth like $150 that Huawei threw in for free. So when comparing this $850 laptop with other laptops in the same price range, the MateBook 13 rocks. My only complaint is that the battery is just enough for one day of work at about 8 hours (Huawei claims that the battery lasts 10 hours), but I think the overall quality makes up for it.

My Lenovo Thinkpad - that I purchased last May - died and I needed to buy a quick replacement before a research trip. I did a little research on the "best laptops" and this one came up at the top or near the top of almost every tech sites listing. AND I CAN SEE WHY. I am loving this little gem. Its quick, beautiful, light and has everything you need for non-gaming purposes. Its a 13" laptop and I have small hands - so I dont mind the keyboard or the screen size. They have a 14" and the X-Pro if you need more power or more screen and more keyboard. But other than that, this may be the perfect laptop for travel. The battery life is reasonable and it has a C-type charger so I only need ONE charger for everything when Im on the go (which is so much easier). The screen quality is awesome and I prefer touch screens, so Im happy here as well. Mouse pad is huge for those that dont love the touch screen while working. For the money, this is - so far - the best little laptop Ive ever had. I like it far, far better than anything else Ive had in the last 10 years. If youre on the fence, let me push you a little. Get this laptop.

I actually bought this for my daughter. However I have had it for a few days now and have no issue recommending it highly. Personally, I use a Thinkpad Carbon 6th Gen with HDR screen as I NEED a business computer with cel/sim capability. I was leery about this computer because of all the negative press regarding Huawei. This thing is fast for what it is, versatile, in a great small package. Screen is excellent. Keyboard not quite as good as my ThinkPad but not much worse either. The trackpad blows away my ThinkPad and while no MacBook touchpad, I find it the best of any Windows computer I have ever used; yes better than HP, Dell and Thinkpad. It comes with a dock. The powersupply is awesome as it is small and obviously designed to meet the lightweight and small footprint of the computer, whereas other ultrabooks, like my ThinkPad have a much larger power brick. Wireless is excellent as is BlueTooth. I have another few days with this thing but see no downside to it. Battery power is appropriate for both light and hard loads. Since I like to use my laptops at full power and full brightness I never achieve the maximum as advertised, kind of like those with and EV who want to actually drive their car rather than crawl. Fingerprint recognition works. Much more dependable than my ThinkPad. I highly recommend this notebook. It definitely beats all the competition including the XPS, HP and ThinkPad. Never used the Stealth so no comment on that one.

Just got it tonight, not sure how it hasnt been reviewed yet. But with me useing it so far. Really like it, with touchpad would be glass, fingerprint reader is quick. Display is pretty, with speakers where on top. But sound is amazing. Sad only the left port charges. Hopefully an update can fix it not sure. But I really recommend this lap top.

My review about one month in after purchase...I have not been asked to review. I bought this for personal use and to sync with my business laptop for occasional use. I use it for web surfing, music, amazon selling and business / personal emails. I absolutely LOVE this machine. There is one drawback and so many advantages. Graphics: Top notch, incredible. Processing Speed: Extremely fast - love it. Typing: the clicks and keystrokes are amazing. Maybe my favorite part. LOVE the way it sounds and responds! Weight: incredible, feels just slightly more than my IPad. Touchscreen: Wow, yes! highly responsive and makes may daily tasks more fun. USB Ports: Lacking time, but easily solved with $2.00 adapters - easily solved. Sound/Speakers: Good-great, syncs VERY easily and in seconds to bluetooth devices Overall frame feel/look: Extremely high quality feel and beautiful, beautiful look. Im an average dude, that uses this device 3-4 hours each day for both business and personal use - I researched for weeks..I am very, very happy with my purchase and highly recommend. Best of Luck! Will

I did a lot of debating on getting the Core i5 vs the core i7. In the end I decided that the i5 would be plenty for my workload and I truly believe that I made the right choice. My new matebook is replacing a 5 year old Asus zenbook as my new daily driver. I primarily use my laptop for web development (coding), light Photoshop editing and day to day web browsing. Packaging 3.5/5: Box arrived undamaged and appropriately marked for the ordered product. Packaging is solid with adequate padding for the product. Packaging is lack luster as far as style and doesnt provide much of a wow factor during the unboxing. Included accessories 5/5: For a $899 laptop I am quite pleased with the quality of the power cable with a small brick and detachable cable. They include a USB C hub that works as a charging pass through and gives you lots of options for display out. The added bonus of Microsoft office for a year is also a nice touch. The device externals 4.5/5: Ive used lots of different laptops and never really felt the wow factor this one has. The device is very thin and light, great to pack in a backpack. The device has limited flex and feels solid. The hinges are a little tough when opening (not doing it one handed) the laptop up however hold the screen perfectly when using the touch screen. The device internals 5/5: As mentioned before I ordered the core i5 model. The display is absolutely stunning! I really think the 1440p 3x2 display with touch is the perfect display for a small laptop. The touchscreen is fast and responsive and seems to be somewhat resistant to fingerprints. The quad core CPU is snappy and flys through my workload in Photoshop and my text editors, the CPU stays pretty cool (sub 70c) and the majority of the time the fans stay off. The SSD is fast and does its job (I havent done any tests on it so I dont know numbers however its more than quick enough). The Intel integrated graphics do a good job, obviously they are not the same as the dedicated graphics in the i7 model however the benefits of the battery life make it a better option for me. Battery life is pretty darn good and Ive had no issues with it. As a summary I highly recommend this laptop for anyone looking for a great value Ultrabook. I can see this being perfect for any student or professional!

Ive been looking at this 13inch Ultra-book for a few months and Im glad I finally decided to pull the trigger and buy it. Ill start off with the Pros 1)The fit and finish is top notch. Huawei really knows their stuff. The aluminum construction is as good if not better than my last Macbook Pro. I have the grey color and I think it is superior than Apples Space Grey. The thickness of this Ultra-book is thinner than my Macbook Pro. The screen is not wide-screen but I actually prefer it to the Macbook. The key layout is perfect and key travel is superior to Apples. The track pad is just as good as the Mac-book Pro which was something I was not expecting and certainly the best of any PC track pad I have ever used. 2) The screen is just straight up brilliant. The 2160x1440 resolution is to put it simply just amazing. What a difference it makes compared to 1920x1080. If comparing it to my Macbook Pros retina display this definitely beats it. Images and video are a joy to see. I know some say the brightness is a concern but I just dont see it. Its very bright; I believe some just dont know how to turn off the auto-dimming feature of Windows 10. If you have auto dimming enabled the brightness of the screen (even though turned up all the way) will still reduce if viewing in a dark room. Its certainly not a fault towards the Ultra book. Once I turned that off it defaults to the highest brightness level and its very bright and crisp. The touch screen works as intended and its very accurate; No problems in this department... 3) The 8th generation I7 is insanely fast. I can game on moderate video settings, use adobe photo shop and program at lightening speeds thanks to the dedicated MX150 card but if youre gaming on high resolutions youll run into problems as the dedicated card is not really used for gaming but it certainly does well for everything else. 4) This Ultra-book is very light which is nice for everyday use when you have to travel with it. Its great for using in bed or on the couch. Fits nicely on the counter while watching movies as you cook and read recipes etc. The included 8GBs of memory is all you need unless you require a zillion programs open and running at the same time but Its more then sufficient to run several programs at once, even resource demanding applications. 5) Battery life is great even on highest brightness level (around 6 hours), yes it would be nice to have 8-12 hours of battery but I find most claims on battery life are inflated anyway and its really not a problem for me as everywhere I go when needing to use it over 6 hours I have access to a wall plug. To each their own in this regard. Cons: The only con I have with this Ultra-book; And Im not too concerned about, is that depending on what youre doing (resource demanding tasks or gaming) it can heat up a bit if you have it on your bed or in your lap but if its on a flat surface i.e a desk it never heats up to the point it becomes uncomfortable. You need to give (as with almost all laptops) the air ducts under the laptop the ability to draw in fresh air. If you do use it on your lap and all youre doing is perusing the internet and doing light work then the thermals are absolutely acceptable and not noticeable. Also Im really pleased with Amazons attempt at next day delivery. I received this laptop the next day. I ordered a travel pouch the day I got my Huawei and that also delivered the very next day. I forgot to mention...; Amazon also gave me the option to use installments for the Huawei, so the first payment was 280 and then the next 4 is 220 and then 180 something for the last month. Very easy on the budget and no interest. Amazon is doing great things. Heck I pretty much do all my shopping now on Amazon, even my cloths lol. Aight peace...

This is a nice-looking little computer, but I could never get it to stay connected to my Wi-Fi. After trying for two days, I returned it. Ive never had Wi-Fi connectivity issues in my home with any other computer or device.

I only kept this for a day or so before deciding it wasnt worth the money (for my uses anyway) and returning it. The specs of the machine are in this weird middle ground where theyre not very good for most gaming but are way overpowered for anything else Id use it for. There were good things about it though. The build quality is very high and the screen is beautiful. I really liked the extended height of the screen, especially on a laptop this size. It made the web browsing experience much better than on any small 13:9 ratio screen. The screens touch functionality also felt responsive and smooth. The laptop looks very sleek overall. However, it runs quite hot and the fact that the entire outer casing is metal made that extra problematic when using it in my lap, which is how I use laptops most of the time. It became very uncomfortable very quickly, even when not running anything demanding. So basically, it might be the perfect laptop for someone else but it just didnt suit my needs at all and for that price, it wasnt worth it.
