This is the best laptop.

What features would make the perfect laptop for you?

“Just $1500”

To a broke student such as myself, that price made me spit out my ramen.

This is a very impressive laptop and it offers great value. I am blown away by what Hauwei was able to pull off, especially given that they don’t have much history or experience in the PC/laptop space. They have really engineered the hang out of this thing. The fact that it runs Windows 10 Signature edition and the webcam is hidden in the keyboard (i.e. disabled), helps them overcome the privacy and security concerns that some paranoid countries have toward Huawei products.

Huawei is moving fast in the tech sector.

Regarding battery life:

"It's actually better than Dell's comparable XPS13 or the Touchbar Macbook Pro"

So, uh, why was that listed as a complaint? Especially since those two laptops are considered to have some of the best battery life on the market?

considering the bad trend of 2018, it should fix the cam on top with a notch xD

[goldendynasty]

That webcam placement is if you really needed a webcam just buy a dedicated one because built in ones I cover and think everyone should for safety reasons but the MateBook solves everything lol.

A better title for this would be ‘the perfect ultrabook’, I think the perfect laptop would probably be something like the Razer Blade 15.
Although having said that there are changes that could be made to both.

Huawei is definitely making some great stuff, espically these past few years. Shame that their phones aren't easy to get in the US.

I have an HP x360 since feb 2016. i7, 8 gb ram, 256 SSD, full HD touchscreen, huge track pad, convertible, good battery life. Got it refurbished for just $680 in the US. Still working really, really good. If I had to buy a new one now, I'll probably go for a similar one but with OLED display (and thinner edges, if possible).

“Sees the camera” That’s it, I’m buying this!!

"Light Gaming" *Proceeds to play GTA V at 1080p medium on my laptop with an MX150*

This is very useful, thank you Dan! Am buying this one today! Was on the fence due to the camera, but I’m thinking, for calls, will just prop it over some books to avoid a double chin view ! Your review helped to push me in the right direction.

Typing this from a MBXP...easily one of the best laptops I've ever had. My only gripe is that it runs a bit on the hot side, but everything else is top notch. Performance, sound, and screen are second to none. And for the price, I got it on student discount from Microsoft when the laptop first came out...there was NO competition. It's 2019 and a 2018 laptop is still the laptop of the year, in my opinion!

[Ashthenix]

the logo on the back is a dealbreaker for me 🙂

[tarasov]

The pop-up camera idea is *smart*, just put it on top - think about it, a neat screen edge & no need to tape it for extra privacy.

My TV has 98% screen to body ratio because it is so large with slim bezels. So having higher screen to body ratio than a smartphone isnt that hard and I feel like these channels try to come up with too many points in a video, too many points that isnt that thought out either.

[SuperDoggykong]

love the webcam design, I don't use mine at all. Looks like this laptop is next on my to buy list
