Here's a quick round-up of Huawei MateBook's key features and main selling points, courtesy of our friends from the company.
A Unique, Ultra Slim Unique Device with an Innovative Design
Combining the mobility of a smartphone with the power and productivity of a laptop, the MateBook is designed with simplicity in mind. With minimal embellishment and a sleek appearance, the device is made of high-quality aluminum unibody that's both elegant and sophisticated. The MateBook likewise features a strong protective body to withstand the rigors of an on-the-go lifestyle, and its slim profile and ultra- low weight of just 640g makes it ideal to take anywhere.
Keyboard Case, Keyboard, and Touchpad: A Fusion of Fashion and Usability
The MateBook keyboard case is made of environmentally friendly, soft PU leather, the perfect choice to match style with functionality. The durability of the keyboard case also provides an ideal level of protection. The keyboard features a 1.5mm keystroke and a chiclet keycap design, which allows for larger key surfaces to minimize typing errors. The built-in touchpad uses multi-touch technology that supports smooth and precise finger movements, combining comfort and utility
MatePen: More than a Stylus
When only a hand-written note will do, the accompanying MatePen stylus offers 2,048 levels of sensitivity, perfectly capturing users’ subtle and diverse pen-tip actions with zero delay. For advanced business functions, MatePen supports graphics and mathematic functions, and can be used as a laser pointer for delivering presentations
True-to-Life Colors: Vivid, Immersive Experience
The MateBook’s 12-inch IPS multi-touch screen is further enhanced by an ultra-narrow frame and a screen-to-body ratio of 84 percent. The screen boasts a resolution of Quad HD 2160 x 1440 and a 160-degree wide viewing angle for an immersive experience. The color gamut reaches an impressive 85 percent, capable of displaying true-to-life colors.
High-efficiency and Agility: Built for Productivity
The MateBook runs on Windows 10 and is powered by a 6 th Generation Intel Core m-series processor, putting high-speed processing power and the most essential business productivity tools, including Microsoft Office, at users’ fingertips. The device offers up to 8GB of LPDDR3 memory and a solid-state hard drive with capacity up to 512GB. Utilizing a unique stacked hardware process, Huawei is able to deliver a fanless design, ensuring zero noise when the MateBook is in use.
Long-lasting Battery: Made for Mobility
To ensure the MateBook delivers optimal performance as a mobile device, battery life and power were a top priority throughout the design process. Its 33.7Wh high-density Lithium battery provides enough power for nine hours of work, nine consecutive hours of Internet use and 29 hours of music playback. The device also features Huawei’s exclusive power-saving technology to meet the needs of business users. The MateBook’s battery can attain a full charge in just two-and-a-half hours. When there is not enough time for a full charge, the device can power up to 60 percent battery strength in just one hour.
World’s First One-touch Unlock: The Fastest Fingerprint Recognition in the Industry
The MateBook provides security while maintaining quick access through the fingerprint recognition feature that supports 360-degree sensitive identification for fewer authentication failures. It takes only one touch to unlock the MateBook’s screen – the fastest fingerprint recognition in the industry.
The Best Connectivity: True Convenience
Additionally, the MateBook features a Wi-Fi mobile hotspot for users to stay connected when a traditional Internet connection is not available. Other features that ensure an efficient mobile experience include a seamless data transfer capability that allows drag-and-drop document transfer to and from Android smartphones.
The Huawei MateBook will be available in Asia, Europe and North America in the coming months and will be available in two elegant colors: Grey and Golden.
TP Thoughts:
I remember, back in 2011, I bought an Adonit Keyboard Case for my New Apple iPad, knowing for sure that the tablet can be a decent productivity tool aside from being just a great mobile device for gaming, watching movies, browsing the web, reading E-books, and staying connected on my social networking sites. And I was right. Having that case allowed me to update my blog and process documents on my slate easier and faster -- even when I don't have a heavy laptop in my bag. Given that insight and based on my experience, I'm certain that devices like the Huawei MateBook, Apple iPad Pro, and Microsoft Surface Pro indeed have a unique proposition that stylish consumers who need to accomplish business tasks on-the-go would find appealing and attractive.
