Huawei isn't the first name that springs to mind when you're on the market for a new laptop, but hasn't stopped it from creating one of 2017's prettiest portable computers, the MateBook X. Huawei's first laptop is an impressive machine, and rivals the...

The Huawei Matebook X is a triumphant entry into the ultra-portable laptop segment
Amazing design and screen ; Great sound ; Fingerprint sensor
Slightly odd USB-C setup ; You may never be able to buy it

A better MacBook Pro for Windows Ultrabook fans
Fantastic design ; Beautiful and unique display ; Great audio capabilities
High price ; Limited connectivity options ; Lackluster battery life
The Huawei MateBook X is the first attempt by the Chinese firm at making a laptop, but it has actually succeeded impressively well offering everything you'd expect from a portable computing option in 2017.

Overall, the MateBook X is a compelling option and a wonderful debut from a company that you won't associate with laptops just yet - but will in the
Slim and light design ; Great display with minimal bezel ; Good keyboard and typing experience ; Excellent sound quality (with Dolby Atmos) ; Fingerprint scanner in perfect position
Likely to be expensive (prices yet to be revealed) ; Slightly limited connectivity ; Gets hot under load ; Battery life not best-in-class ; Backlight not the best from all angles
The real winner in the MateBook X is its design. This laptop fires itself right into the centre of the Ultrabook pack, likely to cause the go-to MacBook and Dell XPS some disruption thanks to its slim and light design, very usable keyboard and...

Huawei is attempting to go toe to toe with Apple and Microsoft with its first ever laptop: the MateBook X. Here's what we think of the slick new ultrabook.
The MateBook X would be an impressive laptop under any circumstances - the fact that it's Huawei's first just makes it even more so. Huawei has definitely nailed the design and build quality, while the keyboard is also impressively tactile for such a...

X marks the spot for Huawei's MacBook rival
Powerful CPU can cope with any desktop duties ; Slimline design is gorgeous, especially those screen bezels ; Great sound to match stellar picture quality
Standby battery life is awful ; Touchpad can be tricky ; A few build quality stumbles ; More expensive than a MacBook
A sterling first effort at a powerful ultraportable, besting Apple in some areas – but the MateBook X isn’t perfect
Expert review by (cnet.co.uk)
The Huawei Matebook X is a supremely sleek 13-inch laptop that bears a striking resemblance to the MacBook Pro.
The Huawei Matebook X has a stylish aluminum design that impresses everyone who sees it. It has a Dolby Atmos audio system and its power button doubles as a fingerprint reader.
The US price is still not confirmed, configuration options are limited and it lacks a touchscreen.
The thin, light and fast Matebook X is a tempting MacBook alternative for Windows 10 fans.

The Huawei MateBook X laptop looks every inch a desirable, portable computer. It's thinner than a MacBook Air and has a powerful processor inside. Here's what to expect from Huawei's new slimline laptop.

A fine laptop with exceptional screen and audio that's compromised by average performance and battery life
Every laptop design is a compromise between portability, power, battery life and design, and the MacBook X is no exception. It sacrifices power for a fanless and highly portable design that I prefer to the Dell XPS 13, but also forsakes the exceptional...

The Matebook X is a superbly engineered laptop that puts Huawei's competitors on notice.
