Value for money: the new MateBook family is stylish | The comparison

HUAWEI just released its latest laptops - the Matebook ultraportable family. These laptops deserve to be on anyone's Christmas wish list this year because they offer that rare quality where performance enhancements enhance your productivity while design and ergonomics make them a pleasure to use. Whether you need a laptop for school or the boardroom, HUAWEI has models ranging from the € 14 MateBook D 1,199 to the € 14 MateBook 1,799 and the elite, the € 2,999 MateBook X Pro.

What's so great about the new MateBooks?

All three of the new MateBooks have consistent features across the line. They all have an ultra-thin, strong and lightweight metal frame weighing less than 1,5kg, which has been sandblasted and diamond milled. Its "slate gray" style exudes sophistication in a way that will grab the attention of passers-by and garner nods of approval in the boardroom.

The first thing you may notice is the remarkable amount of space on the screen. The displays are almost borderless, with bezels so thin that you get a huge screen-to-body ratio of 91% on the 3K screen of the MateBook X Pro and 90% on the 2K screen of the MateBook 14 and D14. All of this makes for an enjoyable experience, as your work and media are delivered in a powerful and unfettered experience.

Security is also a common theme. They all have a fingerprint reader built into the power button. Additionally, the HD webcam is cleverly recessed within the keyboard, which means it can only function when it visibly pops out of the chassis; you don't have to worry about snooping. Web conferencing is enhanced, with the premium MateBook X Pro also featuring new dual-row front-facing microphones that can detect speech up to five meters away while using special algorithms to block out background noise.

If you have a HUAWEI phone, you will love HUAWEI's sharing feature. Simply pressing your phone against the laptop's NFC chip allows you to use the two devices as one or complement each other for increased productivity. This is great if you need to edit content on your phone but don't want to have to transfer files back and forth, but there are plenty of other great features too.

They are all cooled by special dual fan technology with 'vapor chambers' to keep things cool and quiet. Despite the power, it still lasts 11 hours without mains and can gain 4,5 hours of battery life in just 30 minutes of charging. At €2,999, it's a great value for an elite business ultraportable.

Which MateBook Should You Buy?

With all three MateBooks offering stylish portability, you're left with a choice of power and performance that fits your budget.

If you need a little more oomph and a higher resolution screen, go for the € 14 MateBook 1,799. However, if you need uncompromising performance, all the bells and whistles, and cutting-edge efficiency and weight savings that would put a race car to shame, this has to be the incredible MateBook X Pro.

Whatever you choose, whether it's for yourself or someone else, these laptops will make someone very happy this Christmas!
