Good review. Thank you. Thoughts on the matebook 14 ?

Great review, I just ordered this and I can’t wait 😍

the lack of ports made me consider the Matebook 14 but now am waiting for the Matebook 14s.

The review of this laptop should include testing of output to external monitor through its type C to HDMI or VGA. Two downside of this laptop: one is it does not support Thunderbolt 3 with 40Gbps and it does not support Wifi 6.

The USB Type C is using USB 3.1 Gen 1 that can support up to 5Gbps speed. So it may not able to support output more than 2 external monitors.

If they can support Thunderbolt 3, it can integrate with External GPU for gaming purposes as well. Let's wait and see 2021 version if they adopted Thunderbolt 3/4 since Intel Gen 11 is already in the market now.

Would this be a better choice versus the Matebook pro X 2019?

do you think its still worth buying right now? The i5 10th gen model with mx 250 is available in my country for an equivalent of 1500 singapore dollars

Hi, how about huawei matebook 14? Do you know when matebook 14 will be available in sg?

[yominrak]

Would be better if you can include real usage for its battery life. Such as during video editing how long can the battery last, during web browsing and editing office documents how long can the battery last and finally during 1080p video watching how long can the battery last. In addition to battery life, also to test on the 15minutes charging as Huawei claims 15minutes charging can last for another 2 hours...

[judaskicks]

Which is better? This one or the matebook 14? In terms of performance and a little bit of gaming?

Great video! You're adorable too !

This laptop is really bad and unreasonably expensive. The build quality is really bad.
