Huawei Reader For Mac

Posted By admin On 11.05.21

Huawei has finally done it. With the MateBook X Pro, the company has created a laptop that's a shameless copy of Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro, but that's easy to forgive because it's just so damn good. It's better than the original in numerous ways, and lags behind only when it comes to certain details.

I've spent roughly 10 days with the MateBook X Pro, mostly using it as my main work machine, and this is the first time in ages that I seriously considered permanently moving back into the realm of Windows laptops.

I'm not taking the easy route when comparing Huawei's new laptop with the 13-inch MacBook Pro (which happens to be my primary work laptop). Besides the similarities in the name and the fact that Huawei itself constantly compared the two during the device's launch in Barcelona, it's just very obvious that Huawei had one goal in mind: Build a device that's exactly like Apple's pro-grade laptop, only better.

Familiarly handsome

This starts with the design. The Huawei MateBook X Pro has an aluminum unibody that's sturdy, solid and monolithic save for the ports on the sides, cooling 'gills' on the bottom, and a Huawei logo on the back. My review unit was in 'mystic silver' color (it also comes in 'space grey'; sound familiar?) and there's no two ways about it; it's a dead ringer for the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

There are differences, though, and surprisingly, nearly all are in favor of Huawei. The MateBook X Pro has a gorgeous, 3,000x2,000 pixel LTPS touchscreen with uncannily thin bezels on all sides, including the bottom. Thanks to this, the MateBook has a 91% screen-to-body ratio — the best ever seen on any notebook, according to Huawei — and it looks stunning. Effectively, it's a 13.9-inch screen stuffed in a body that's roughly the same size and weight as the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, and just a smidgen larger and heavier than a comparably equipped Dell XPS 13 (which also has a 13.3-inch screen).

To achieve this, Huawei did a clever trick: It moved the camera into the function keys row of the keyboard (no touch bar here); it pops open on a click and shuts closed when you click it again. Unfortunately, this means that the camera will have an up-your-nose angle; not absolutely horrible but not ideal (the fact that it's just a crappy 1-megapixel one doesn't help either). On the flip side, if you're concerned about privacy, this is a great solution, as you don't need to tape the camera over; just close it when you're not using it and you're safe from prying eyes.

The keyboard is rubbery and reasonably good with a decent amount of travel. I had no problems getting used to it, and I like the fact that it's fully backlit.

On the left side, you'll find two USB-C ports, one of which is Thunderbolt 3 compatible, as well as a headphone jack. On the right, you will find a single USB-A port. This is not a bad choice of ports, but another USB-A port or at least a memory card slot would make it amazing.

Overall, when it comes to the design and usability, Huawei wins big overall but falters on some details. For example, the USB-C ports on the left side are poorly aligned and the trackpad isn't as precise as I'd like. None of these issues are deal breakers, but they do add up.

Very, very big screen

And there's that screen. It's not the best screen I've seen on a laptop; for example, the MacBook Pro's screen is a bit brighter, has more natural colors, and isn't nearly as glossy. Also, I had to turn off automatic brightness control on the Huawei as it was just too quirky for my liking.

But Huawei's laptop definitely has the most attractive screen seen on a laptop, thanks to those crazy-tiny bezels. There's no ugly chin like you'd see on a Dell XPS 13, either — the bottom bezel is as thin as possible.

A screen that nice begs to be touched, and you can actually do it. I'm not a huge fan of touchscreens on laptops as they get dirty fast (Huawei says the MateBook's screen is fingerprint-repellent), but the option is there.

The 3,000x2,000 resolution is probably too big for this screen size, but extremely high resolutions on portable devices are the fashion these days, and I doubt many will complain.

All in all, unless you work outdoors a lot and cannot stand glossy screens, the MateBook X Pro will not disappoint you.

Tons of power and solid battery life

Inside, the Matebook X Pro is an absolute powerhouse. I tested the most powerful variant, with an 8th gen Intel Core i7-855U processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, Intel's UHD 620 graphics chip paired with dedicated, Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics, and a 57.4Wh battery.

There's also a fingerprint scanner (seamlessly built into the power button), and some nifty details, such as a power adapter that's pretty compact; roughly double the size of the ones you get with smartphones.

It can be tough for a laptop processor to power such a huge screen resolution, but I've had no issues with the MateBook X Pro. In my work, which mostly consists of having tons of Chrome tabs open, it performed admirably.

As for battery life, I couldn't get nowhere near the advertised 12 hours; the battery was good for half of that number most of the time. For comparison, note that my 13-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro nearly never lasts me more than 4 hours. Note that the MateBook X Pro comes with Huawei's proprietary power-saving software which probably helped in this department.

Uncanny sound and other little things

The sound of the MateBook X Pro deserves a special mention, as it left me speechless. Thanks to some Dolby Atmos magic, it expands the sound stage far wider than the laptop's actual speakers (all four of them); so much that I involuntarily twisted my neck, looking for speakers that weren't there. It's a trick, and after a while you get used to it, but it is impressive, especially in songs with a lot of separate, trebly sounds (like a funky rhythm guita). Play it to someone and they'll ask you where you hid the rest of the speakers.
Past this, the MateBook X Pro's sound is far from perfect; it's got that tinny thinness you'll hear on most laptops of this size, and bass is definitely very limited. But it's still far better than the sound on the MacBook Pro.

Then there are all the other little details that you wouldn't expect from a company like Huawei, who doesn't exactly have a long track record when it comes to building laptops. The keyboard is backlit and spill-proof. The laptop has four built-in microphones. The fingerprint sensor is very fast; Huawei says it only takes 1.9 seconds to log into the system from sleep state, and while I don't think it's quite that fast, it's definitely not too far from that number. A lot of thought has been put into this device.

Possibly the best laptop out there

The Huawei MateBook X Pro is not perfect, but it trumps the competition in most areas. It has that innovative camera placement, fast fingerprint sensor and an extremely thin-bezelled screen, which places it ahead of competition. The specs are top notch, the design is beautiful (if derivative), the battery life is great and the sound is impressive (though not in all areas).

Drawbacks include a relatively small number of ports, odd angle of the camera and overly glossy screen (though some users might like it). And when I compare those to what this device has to offer, I'd be more than prepared to live with them.

All of this would be meaningless if the MateBook X Pro cost a fortune, but it doesn't. The top model (the one I've tested) costs €1,899 ($2,336). That's significantly less than the typical European price of a top-specced 13-inch MacBook Pro, which has a weaker processor and graphics and less RAM memory. A comparatively equipped Dell XPS 13 costs a hundred or two bucks less, depending on the market.

If that's too much, though, there's also a variant of the MateBook X Pro with a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, and MX 150 graphics for €1,699 ($2,090), or an even cheaper one without the discrete graphics and with only 256 GB of storage for €1,499 ($1,844).

Huawei MateBook X Pro

The Good

Huge screen with tiny bezels • Top-notch specs • Camera never needs to be taped over • Impressive sound

The Bad

Screen too glossy • Camera has an odd angle • Another USB-A port or a memory card slot would be great

The Bottom Line

It's a blatant copy of the MacBook Pro, but it's also better in almost every single way. If you're looking for a Windows laptop, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is a great choice.

So there I am, six thousand miles away from home in a foreign country (whose language I don’t speak) covering a trade show by myself, and I realize the power brick on my XPS 13 is busted. This is a disaster. My laptop is my lifeblood. I need it to write stories, edit photos, and collaborate with the team back home. Without it, I’m truly screwed. And what’s even worse is that my work XPS is the last generation without support for charging over USB-C, and because Spain doesn’t give a shit about Dell, there was no replacing it (trust me I tried).

But then I remember, as I nervously watch my laptop’s battery tick down from 68 to 67 percent, there is a solution. That’s because in my bag, I was carrying a review unit for Huawei’s newest laptop, the MateBook X Pro. OK, it’s time for a real trial by fire.

While best known for its smartphones, Huawei has been slowly pushing into laptops and tablets over the past few years. Its first major success came on with the original MateBook X, which took (or borrowed) the template from Apple’s 12-inch MacBook and fixed a number of issues. But for the MateBook X Pro, the company set its sights on something bigger: the 13-inch MacBook Pro. And you know what? Huawei has totally succeeded, because for every downside of Apple’s top laptop, Huawei seems to have an answer.

Like Apple, Huawei starts with a solid aluminum body and then adds surprisingly powerful speakers to the sides, a big one-piece trackpad down below, and clever power button/fingerprint reader combo in the top left—and all of it is top notch. Then there’s Matebook X Pro’s backlit keyboard. While it is a bit on the shallow side, the keyboard’s relatively high actuation weight and deeper key travel feels vastly superior to the garbage you get on modern MacBooks. Huawei also smartly included two USB-C ports (one of which supports Thunderbolt 3) and a single USB 3 Type-A port, so you can live life dongle-free. I would have really liked it if Huawei had found room for a SD card slot on the X Pro, though for folks in the US, Huawei’s inclusion of a free MateDock 2 (which tacks on an extra USB-A, USB-C, HDMI and VGA ports) might help smooth over any concerns about connectivity.

Once you’re done ogling the X Pro’s design, the next thing that draws your eyes in is its brilliant screen. Not only is it super bright, topping out at 485 nits, it also has the slimmest bezels of any laptop out right now. And I’m not just talking about skinny margins on the top and sides, the X Pro’s chin is equally thin too, resulting in a screen-to-body ratio of 91 percent. That’s better than devices like the new XPS 13 (80.7 percent) and the Galaxy S9 (83.6 percent) by a fair margin. And after more than three weeks of using it every day, I simply don’t want to go back to normal laptops screens with awkward Jay Leno proportions.

But that’s not all, because by cutting down on bezels, Huawei had room for a bigger screen, so you get a high-res 13.9-inch 3000 x 2000 touchscreen while most competing systems cap out at 13.3-inches. At that resolution, and with the screen’s seriously good color reproduction, pictures, movies and anything else you’re viewing really pop.

Huawei even equipped the X Pro with a neat trick for how it hides its webcam. Without a big bezel above or below the screen, Huawei stashed the webcam inside one of its keys, smack dab in the middle of the function row. When the keyboard’s backlight is on, it’s pretty noticeable, because it’s the only key that doesn’t light up. But aside from that, you normally kind of just forget it’s there, which is exactly what a webcam should do when you’re not using it. Another bonus effect of the webcam’s location, is that when it’s depressed and pointed into the guts of the system, there’s no chance it can be hacked and used to spy on you unknowingly.

Now for all you Mac die-hards, the fact that the X Pro doesn’t run macOS might be a deal breaker. But that’s really Apple’s fault for not letting other companies license its operating system, as I suspect Huawei may have wanted to ape that too. But I’m not really bothered, because Huawei did something just as good when it partnered with Microsoft to install Windows 10 Pro Signature Edition on the Matebook X Pro. There’s no bloat or added bullshit whatsoever.

As for the specs, the X Pro has more than enough oomph thanks to an 8th-Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU, up to 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and even a Nvidia MX 150 GPU if you want it. When compared to competing systems like the recently revamped XPS 13 and the LG Gram 15, our fully loaded X Pro review unit finished with top scores across every one of our standard benchmarks, which includes browser performance in WebXPRT 2015, a picture resizing test in Photoshop, and Geekbench 4. You can’t quite say the same for the X Pro’s graphics performance, as its MX 150 is more of a step up over standard integrated graphics, as opposed to something built to game on.

Even the X Pro’s battery life is pretty stellar, with it lasting 11 hours and 7 minutes on our standard rundown test. That’s better than both the Dell’s XPS 13, and bigger systems like the 15-inch LG Gram, which lasted 9:28 and 10:39 respectively.

One small quirk that I don’t quite get is that by default—the X Pro’s SSD came formatted into two partitions: a smaller 80GB section and a larger 380 GB division. It’s weird because there’s only one physical drive, so the system is just cutting up its storage in two for no real reason. That said, it is a very minor issue.

Really, trying to pick out flaws of the MateBook X Pro isn’t an easy task. Regardless of how shamelessly you think Huawei has copied Apple’s formula, it has absolutely improved on that template in a number of very important ways.

With a starting price of $1,200, the X Pro is actually $100 cheaper than a similarly equipped 12-inch MacBook or a 13-inch MacBook Pro, while offering more ports, a newer 8th-gen CPU, a larger, higher resolution screen, and of course, that nifty pop-up webcam. And on the high-end things look even better for the X Pro, because for $1,500, you get twice as much RAM and SSD storage as an equally priced MBP 13, along with discrete graphics from a Nvidia 150MX GPU. Meanwhile, the cheapest Apple laptop with a real GPU is the $2,400 MBP 15, which does offer much better graphics performance, but is overkill for most folks.

After using this system every day for almost a month, I’m actually not sure there’s another daily driver I would rather use. It feels a little weird to say this: But what do you call a laptop that looks like a MacBook Pro, but is actually much better? I guess the answer would be a Matebook.

Update 5/21:This review has been updated to reflect the new U.S. pricing for the Matebook X Pro rather than original European pricing.

The Matebook X Pro’s 3000 x 2000 screen is gorgeous and has the smallest bezels of any laptop on the market.
While the hidden webcam isn’t in the ideal position, it’s better what you get from an XPS13. It’s also cool as hell.
The optional Nvidia GeForce MX150 isn’t a full gaming-grade GPU, but it’s a big boon to people who need a little extra graphics power.
Two USB-C ports and one USB-A port is just enough connectivity, but an SD card reader would have been nice.
In the US, the Matebook X Pro will come with a clean install of Windows 10 Pro signature edition and a free dock.
Battery life is surprisingly good, despite its thinness and potent specs.
