The Cons
Slower SSD than competitors'; Mediocre battery life;
Verdict
Sporting a gorgeous, all-aluminum body; a silent, fanless design; and up to an Intel Core-i7 CPU, Huawei's MateBook X is like a MacBook that runs Windows, but better.
REVIEW:
People say imitation is a form of flattery, but what do you call it when that imitation surpasses the original? In the case of Apple's 12-inch MacBook, it's called the Huawei MateBook X. After testing the waters with its first Windows 2-in-1 in 2016, Huawei is making a big push into the laptop market with the MateBook X. Like the MacBook, the MateBook X starts with a lovely aluminum chassis and adds powerful Dolby Atmos-certified speakers, full Intel Core i CPUs with fanless heat sinks and twice the number of USB Type-C ports.
