Don't Buy A Macbook Air! | Huawei Matebook X Pro (2024) Review

[@zeeshanehtisham442]

Using Huawei Matebook x Pro 2022 I must say this laptop is the best I have ever used, definitely will be buying 2024

[@saturnblue]

That laptop is almost good enough to make me switch back to laptops from my desktop.

[@houssamalucad753]

Why are you using a desktop if you don't need a powerful machine anyways? used laptops are just as cheap you just need to find one with a good battery

[@icephoenix5466]

Dont Go to Huawei. Find sth that will last.

[@houssamalucad753]

@@icephoenix5466 Why wouldn't the Huawei last? their phones lasted me years and didn't slow down like Samsungs, I was thinking their laptops would be just as good

[@saturnblue]

​@@houssamalucad753 I have been building my own computers since the 1980s. Being able to switch out specific parts that need to be changed has allowed me to only buy 4 computers since the 80s. All of my other upgrades have been incremental changes to those machines. Need video capture, add a card, need a faster graphics card, switch it, require additional ram, easy! My last laptop allowed me to switch the solid state drive for a bigger one, add ram, replace the CD drive with a second ssd. I took advantage of all of those options and kept the laptop running for 6 years. I used it with an external monitor keyboard and mouse after the battery died for a couple of years too. At which point I built another desktop from parts I had laying around. Now that I have said all this out loud into my voice recognition I realized that I don't want one of these new laptops because they won't last as long without the ability to do similar upgrades. I'm sticking with the desktop.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

NEVER, I would entertain idea of both, however.

[@Ikram232]

That thin and light whilst still running an x86 processor, imagine what they could pull off when ARM chips for Windows becomes mainstream!

[@raphaelshalaby1646]

that was exactly what I was thinking, and the're also working on x86 emulation with ARM, so that's probably how they were able to engineer these boards sooo small to make enough room for the battery.

[@FactsBeFacts]

You're detached from reality, AMD is where it's at when it comes to cramming high powered chips into tiny packages.

[@SharedAccount-yz9zb]

Not really, x86 still has got alot of potential, their efficiency wasn't great until 10th gen, they r doing remarkably better in mid performance to efficiency charts with every generation

[@Ikram232]

@FactsBeFacts I'm not detached from reality mate. I own a 12th Gen i7 VivoBook and a Ryzen 5000 series ThinkPad, and multiple times, I've been able to use Apple silicon, so I'm definitely not detached. Not once did I mention performance in my original comment. It's impressive the power AMD packs in for very little power draw relative to Intels efforts, and I absolutely love my AMD laptop, but by design, there's no beating the efficiency of ARM. It might not be as powerful in some cases, and use case is entirely dependent on your apps and whether they work better on x86 or ARM. My case is already starting to be proven with these new Copilot+ PCs. Thin and light, and I'm sure they'll be powerful enough for most tasks.

[@adrianstere]

But is no difference for Huawei. They just get banned for using the Intel and Qualcomm chips. Soon even Windows will ban them. While that may not be a huge problem (Huawei will anyway start this year to run on HarmonyOS for laptops as well) the chips are a problem. Intel was crap anyway (draining the battery life and throttle) but Qualcomm banning its a huge issue. They cant use the new Elite chips on ARM. I think this will be the last Huawei laptop for US and EU markets. They still have a lot of chips from Intel to cover the sales for about a year. But after that they have no chips yet to compete.

[@guillaumeSONY]

I still use my matebook x pro 2019, still a great laptop today 👍🏻

[@gibsjetro2480]

I bought my matebook x pro in 2018 and I was surprised how well the Dolby Atmos Sound System works and it still works without problems

[@SimonCU]

What laptop did you buy at the end?

[@svsb5874]

Actually, from huawei's website, the charge power is 140W (idk if the power is regulared in other regions).

[@Jafarmahbooba]

The wallpaper 🔥

[@chrisspain]

The M1 MBA exists, soooo. They made it so good, that even the M2, M3 and soon M4 can not compete, too expensive. As long as Intel inside is on the sticker, you can forget about the battery and that is the most important component. Together with the price.

[@zeniktorres4320]

M1-3 yes. M4 is the first upgrade. First time on ARMv9.

[@chrisspain]

Yes,maybe,soon. But is the improvement as good at intel to M1? Or will it be as good then double the price to the M1? Is the average user going to notice? I do not know anyone that would trade the MBA M1 for anything at tis point for this price

[@robsquared2]

Does the switch turn off the mic too? Asking for a friend who was in zoom court and took a leak on recorded audio.

[@bradleypariah]

13mm thick?? That's literally 3mm thinner than the watch I'm wearing right now. I look forward to keeping one of these out of a landfill for $100 when someone gets sick of it for no reason in a few years.

[@mickie2412]

Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it. Daddy's gonna get a brand new MATE BOOK 😁❤️

[@chrisspain]

I don´t know. Looks great but for that money, it better does. However, the battery life is not really impressive, it got fans, and no MacOS. I use a $700 MacBookAir and yes, no touchscreen (do not have use for it) but best keyboard and touch pad, great sound, headphone jack and most importantly, battery for days. And I got used to MacOS and will not have Windows again. Got an iPad as second screen and stand alone when the MacBook is not needed and everything was just over half of this Huawei. Is the touchscreen, 0.8" bigger screen and massive storage nearly $1000 more worth it? Oh, I just tested, 1min Video conversion into portrait tik tok was in 18sec done. On battery. That makes no difference on the Mac.

[@OgwangTimothy]

Its £2000 a macbook air starts at £1200

[@innocentanthony3324]

Maybe he meant the pro air

[@kevinnguyen163]

agreed. Such a ridiculous comparison

[@sukohuro]

The Matebook X comes with 32GB RAM and 2TB storage for £2099. What specs do you get on a MacBook Air for £1200? 8GB RAM and 128 GB storage? Because that‘s enough for 2024?

[@Douyin_Clips01]

​@@sukohuro ikr 😅

[@Tass...]

They do a i7 with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD for about £1200. Or you can always wait until they announce the 2025 version then these laptops go on sale and this i9 version will sell for around £1300.

[@MrRob-ob2dh]

such a beautiful design, huawei is way ahead of all companies thats why US banned them

[@balo92]

i am convinced enough to change from insanely expensive apple Eco-system to Huawei Eco-system after watching enough Videos about all their Products and being a user of the amazing Mate 20 pro Phone

Huawai doesn't sell in the USA.. ?!! :(

[@meegz149]

wait they can still use intel chips?!

[@ballinontop]

watching this from a matebook x pro 2020. still a good laptop imo for basic tasks like in school or work though there can be occasional hiccups, but yeah still does the job at least for me

Is it good for 3d rendering?

[@ballinontop]

@@georgemubanga1878 if you're doing just normal rendering it's alright, but tbh it's not usable for frequent modelling and rendering it would get really hot just like in gaming. the laptop is more for office or work use it can't handle such heavy tasks

Plz tell us your experience

[@mohammeds9915]

This thing is pretty impressive in person. Head scratching thing about it, is that it has no pen support, which the lower model does. For a business all-in-one laptop, it would've been perfect if you could sign docs with a digitizer, but as always, they gotta screw up somewhere.

[@chcomes]

switched to Lumix, huh? Happy, any complaints?

Not a one-brand guy at all, always looking for the best price-performance deal. But in this case, no. The MacBook air 13inch M1, is still performing perfectly and half the price. Best price performance laptop I ever had. But I am interested in the Pura Ultra and for sure the Huawei new wearable huawei watch fit 3.

[@Dominus_Potatus]

This video aged like milk especially after Windows launching (again) Windows for ARM with Snapdragon X Elite/Pro. Whenever you compare anything with Macbook Air, the problem with windows laptop for most of the time is battery life which can only achievable with more efficient ARM. Whenever you spend money as much as a Macbook Air, you will get same or better specs laptop but rarely same built quality. Even as lifelong windows user, I am intrigue to buy Macbook Air M1 for its built quality and battery life.

[@doomy_doomy2225]

I wonder how long laptops will last. Definitely saw the increase of tablets being used in classes during my time at college that tablets. Here in the states at mine everyone almost had some sort of Mac, but saw my fair share of people with iPads and the keyboard accessories and Apple Pencil set up

I Don't think the Matebook is available in the US. 😢 so we'll definitely see a lot of creators continue to use it here.

[@andyH_England]

It is not cheaper than the MB Pro 14 (M3 Pro), as that is £250 off at the moment. Depends whether Huawei offers any deals. But with double the battery life the MB Pro 14 is a better choice for most creators.
