Huawei's AMD Ryzen laptop is good! MateBook D 15 review!

Dude, keep up the hard work. Very nice review, this is the reason I purchased this laptop.

[@NasiLemakTech]

Glad I could help. Enjoy your laptop!

Either one will work. I'll go for the MateBook D 15, though.

matebook d15 battery life suck!! 5-6 hours only..better choose aspire5

[@zal-hazmimohmmadzin7336]

Which one do u prefer.. Either huawei d15 or asus zenbook UM431D ?

[@NasiLemakTech]

That's a good question and I think it depends on a few things. If I'm taking the laptop out a lot, then the ZenBook is better because of its build quality. Also, the ZenBook is *slightly* better at gaming but sacrifices multitasking capability. For me personally, I think I'll go for Huawei MateBook D 15 since I have another desktop for serious work and gaming. Just have to be careful with the laptop since it's quite plasticky.

[@지지-x7z]

Which one do you recommend for online classes/students? Matebook d15, Lenovo ThinkPad E495-S0J8 or Asus vivobook S15/V5000F?

[@NasiLemakTech]

I'd go against the MateBook D 15 if you need a proper webcam. The position is just atrocious. Either the Lenovo or ASUS VivoBook S15 is great for the use case - but if you can hold off your purchase for a while, there's a new VivoBook S15 announcing soon - with the new Intel 11th Gen processors.

Is AMD comparable to INTEL? Which is better between the two?

At this point in time, it depends on what you're doing. AMD is cheaper and has better graphical performance (not by much) and Intel is the inverse.

[@NasiLemakTech]

Hey! That's a great question! Unfortunately, we do not have sufficient time to test Linux on it. From what we can find out, Linux isn't ideal on Ryzen platforms just yet. It might have changed, but we are unable to confirm.
