HUAWEI Matebook X Pro Review. The BEST Business Laptop of 2024?

[@privacyhelp]

Imagine if all companies competed freely and without sanctions. Customers would benefit greatly.

[@Techtablets]

It would be nice to see Huawei unrestricted again.

[@memo29b]

Anti-reflective film is really important to have on glossy screen laptops and we don't see it enough. It's good to see that Huawei didn't miss out on this.

[@ericneo2]

11:00 - The reasoning is you are supposed to keep your files on D so that they can be recovered or Windows can be reinstalled on C: without losing the files on D . 22:03 - CPU Package 105 Celsius, ouch. Thanks for the video.

[@Techtablets]

Yes it's that. Similar temps on all the Ultra laptops I've covered 😕

[@ericneo2]

@@Techtablets Really worried about the Ultra line up. At work our most recent batch of Intel devices are cooking themselves. 30/50 in just the first few months. They last a few weeks before the heat damage begins bluescreening the device multiple times a day. The techs replace the motherboards on most of them, they last a few more weeks and repeat.

[@Techtablets]

They are very power hungry and heat up so quickly so not surprised. It's not just Intel, I've tested 8845HS laptops and its' the same story they hit the high 90s.

FYI, I started following your channel about 6 years ago when doing research on the Xiaomi Notebook Pro. I'm writing this comment on that machine right now and, while it has some battle scars, it still runs very smooth even though it's been used for hours every day and has traveled across the world with me. This Matebook might be a good replacement for it though.

Thank you for the comment and support. Those old Notebook Pro from Xiaomi where great back in the day. This Huawei is really impressive and would be a huge step up for you.

I love the display size 3:2, but I hate the glare screen: finally Huawei manage this problem wtih anti-glare film, also on Oled screen...amazing! It's only a pity for the lack of HDMI and audio jack. This device it's a Macbook replace, but better

[@Techtablets]

Audio jack was a surprise I think they should have left that in. I guess in their quest for weight reduction they made that call. One type a usb and 3.5mm wouid have been perfect.

[@rafiqmuhamad8251]

In my country, they are throwing a free ear bud and dock. So, it will make up for what's missing.

Watching this on the 2018 Matebook X Pro. These things are still going strong, feel like a premium laptop, even by today's standards (and have more ports, lol).

[@Yves_Cools]

@TechTablets (timeframe 00:19:12-00:19:20) : Chris, as this laptop's product line name suggests, you mention that the Huawei Matebook X Pro isn't really for gaming but for productivity or "business" as you call it (which inherently indicates a lot more static content being shown on the screen), however this laptop is equipped with an OLED screen which is a lot more sensitive to burn-in issues compared to TN, VA or IPS panels. Compared to other panel technologies OLED seems to be the worst choice for productivity purposes at this point in time : look at today's video from Monitors Unboxed for more evidence (3 month usage review). One could argue that Huawei made the wrong decision here by opting for an OLED for a business laptop. I wonder how this screen would like like after 6 months of productivity use...

[@razagm4852]

Best review I ever seen in youtube great work. Unfortunately this will be last intel and Microsoft window from Huawei. The US get crazy from this laptop and they ban Intel ship license to Huawei 😢.

If the screen could flip over and make it a tablet format, it would be an instant buy for me.

[@kroeken]

Stunning device, but the battery life is rather disappointing which is a dealbreaker for me. For those that are interested in buying one: On May the 8th the US revoked Intels license to sell CPUs to Huawei. This might affect long-term availability.

[@Techtablets]

Powerful hardware and that screen res I did expect it. Really needs like 99wh battery but then the weight and if they have room. Oh I just read it was Qualcomm chips but also Intel, damn not good as they make some amazing PC hardware.

[@velesveles8708]

hey, what about PWM and flikering ? i think 155h model will be better than 185h with lower TDP (28wvs40w) and better battery life

what about the thermals under medium strain? I usually work with many tabs in Firefox open and MS Office apps, but my XPS 13 Plus with 1280P manages to get really hot on this. Sometimes on a hot day, it becomes so slow, even unusable. Would you say this laptop with a more powerful chip handles heat better ??

Also, do you have any clarity on when will you be reviewing any Spandragon laptops? Like Yoga Slim 7? Super curious how would they compare.

[@markk2745]

Such a high quality product but I feel they focused to much on making it lighter. They could have kept it at 1.2 kilo and maybe put 2 thunderbolt on right side, put micro sd card reader, put audio jack and even made the battery 90wh instead of 70 so that it didn't lack in battery power. Im considering the matebook 14 at almost 50% the price, or perhaps getting a 2022/23 model for about the same price. Still thinking it over but I know i don't really care the weight difference of 1.2 kilo vs 980 grams.

[@Techtablets]

I’ve got the Matebook X Pro 2024 model and it’s great it also has touch but other Zenbook S16 models do get touch and pen support. Overall it’s a great laptop I really like it very nice build and finish. Keyboard, touchpad combo are good. Yes a larger battery and another type C would have been great but so many more ports than my Matebook with only 3 type c ports.

Tandem OLED was out on Honor smartphones first. The dual OLED tech allows for less power consumption at higher brightness. So, it's unfortunate that Huawei didn't follow Honor's lead as Apple did.

@@Techtablets I prefer the MB Pro 14 (M3Pro), costing a similar amount as it has far better battery life, as good a display, similar keyboard, trackpad and speakers, but the Mac runs mostly cold and silent. Also the Mac has far better IO. But as far as Windows laptops go, this resembles what Apple would make if doing Windows, and my first choice, though I am still unsold by this year's Intel and AMD chips. Thankfully, Huawei have recognised this and given a nice new design with added features.

[@TechnoLawyer]

Can a reluctant Apple user speak up? Im mostly stuck in the Apple ecosystem because of my kids. No iPhone would mean no FaceTime with them, no parental controls over them, no easy sending of full quality vids with them, no AirDrop with them, etc. if it weren’t for them, I’d have a NothingPhone at the moment. iPhone is pretty mediocre, really. … that said, the Mac laptops are Apples best product. I had a M1 pro MacBook Pro, was flawless. Upgraded to a M3 pro MacBook Pro, also flawless. Having a laptop with instant on/off, and almost no battery drain when closed, is really useful for business. And performance is great (I also have a top tier windows gaming laptop, and for daily usage outside of games, the MacBook Pro is snappier). Windows or MacOS is six of one, half dozen of another. Basically equivalent for normal folk. This Huawei definitely looks nice though. Cannot deny that. Once the new intel low power chips are in everything, and once MS fixes the sleep implementation in Windows, Apple loses its real advantage. Also cannot deny that.

Only if Macbooks could actually be of any use to professionals outside of the video/illustration/spreadsheet/music needs. Try being a CAD engineer or an architect with a macbook, or a CGI artisti (like myself). No support for anything, nobody uses them because they are beyond useless with negligible software support. Would love to take that hardware for a spin, but from my perspective they are almost these exotic niche products of no real value. I guess my point is the only way an apple laptop may be the "go to" product in this field is if you're someone whose software needs align with that of a youtube creator in general. For spreadsheet/office use nobody really needs an m2 or m4 tbh.

[@aljosacebokli]

@@sssssalva1 I very much doubt that apple machines are the industry standard in the it/programming fields as most of these professionals will support Windows infrastructure or write software for Windows, which has over 70% market share globally. Mac OS has like a 15% market share total, unlikely to make it the prevalent standard in any field. I've worked through small studios to big companies to international corps in London and the only time I've seen a Mac is when I freelanced for a branding agency. My gf is an EA for finance and accounting firms and she has never been issued anything but a windows laptop by her employers. I guess my point is that the "oh but there's Mac why buy XY" really doesn't hold much water outside of the KZbin creator community. Again, I think the hardware is really good and I'm also waiting to see what Qualcomm shows us this year for Windows.

[@NZtechfreak]

Nice laptop, but no chance this is the best Windows business laptop with Snapdragon X laptops inbound (providing they get close to claimed performance and efficiency).

[@Techtablets]

Hmm yes but it's not out yet and ARM so still not everything runs well if X86. There are still some issues and when emulating it will not be as good as native. But hopefully the new X laptops I'll see in Taipei at Computex really looking forward to seeing if they live up to the hype.

[@NZtechfreak]

For business use-case shouldn't be many problems, all Microsoft software will be fine. For cases where specific software is called for then perhaps non-native programs become a stumbling block. ASUS set to unveil their first one about 7 and half hours from now, and likely quite a few more in coming week or so with all the leaks flying around.

Well I found most X86 programs ran but performance wasn't there with some. Hopefully I'll get some hands-on time with it with ASUS once i'm there. The ARM powered Robo & Kama really impressed me so that X should be something.

The screen res takes its toll. If you watch only video then it's about double but browsing with WiFi.

Super sexy hardware, but battery life and heat are dealbreakers considering that this is meant to be an ultra mobile laptop. The Macbook Air is still the king of mobile productivity.

106 degrees? Even for some seconds... nope

[@Techtablets]

LG Fram was even worse with the lower spec 7 155H chip it hit 108 degrees. All the new chips do this ☠️

the intel spec Tjmax is 110C most ultrabook laptops hit that under load and than start throttle down you can always change the fan curve to have better temps with more noise, most customers want silent

Huawei can't do good battery on laptops.

[@darthcryod1562]

not huawei, its intel's issue, if this were built with an ARM processor, this will actually be a perfect laptop, i guess huawei wont be able to use qualcom elite's chips

Beautiful laptop as every year's model. However for the price it is still better to get a macbook. I'm a windows user myself and two of my coworkers have a few previous year's model of this laptop and the battery is almost dead, with 1~2 hours of autonomy. As a windows user it is difficult for me to completely migrate to macos but it is a shame that Windows laptops equally or even higher priced do not offer the same quality of the hardware in macbook laptops.

The Ryzen 9 8845HS I've tested also does the same. They all hit those high temps briefly unfortunately it's not just one brand. But AMD still has the lead with gaming iGPU performance.
