Huawei MateBook

The MateBook is Huawei's first attempt at a Windows-powered laptop replacement, taking on the likes of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Samsung Galaxy TabPro S. With a 2-in-1 design that includes a detachable keyboard and a stylus for drawing and making...

Huawei MateBook review

Huawei's first Windows 10 tablet is beautiful and flawed

Premium materials ; Clever fingerprint reader integration ; Immaculate screen

Below average battery life ; Disappointing performance ; Flimsy keyboard cover

Huawei's first Windows tablet is a stunner in design and features, but below average performance and battery life are troubling issues.

Huawei MateBook review: 5-hours of friendship

One glance at the Huawei MateBook and it's clear the Chinese company is hankering for a slice of the laptop-replacement market. This slim-build Windows 10 tablet is really well made, not a cheap knock-off competitor to the likes of the Microsoft...

Slim and well built Windows 10 tablet, fingerprint scanner is great, keyboard and trackpad work well, optional MatePen stylus

Poor battery life, keyboard not included, stand is limited by available angles and no good for on-the-go lap work, just one USB-C port

At first glance the Huawei MateBook gets lots right as 2-in-1s go: it's slim, well made, has a decent size keyboard and trackpad (if you buy it anyway), plus a built-in fingerprint scanner that helps stand it out from the crowd. It's not as powerful as...

Huawei MateBook review

Move over Microsoft? Huawei's got its own take on the 2-in-1

Superb screen for the money ; Stylus is great for sketching and note-taking ; Fingerprint scanner comes in handy

Basic battery life ; Weak keyboard dock ; Only charges with bundled plug

A solid screen and stylus smarts for your cash, but not the hybrid to steal the show from Microsoft’s Surface

Huawei Matebook review

What is Huawei? Just a Chinese company that could become the No. 1 phone maker in the world. Did you know the Google Nexus 6P is a Huawei? You do now. But the company's latest device isn't a phone -- it's a 12-inch Windows tablet that's as slim as an...

The Huawei Matebook fits a full Windows 10 PC into an iPad-sized tablet chassis. The fingerprint sensor is fast. Its screen and speakers are excellent.

You'll get periodic pauses when launching applications or loading web pages, and battery life is merely OK. Huawei charges extra for the keyboard, stylus and dock you'll need in order to use the Matebook like a PC.

If you like what the Matebook offers, pick the slightly pricier Samsung Galaxy TabPro S instead. The TabPro S has an even better screen, better battery life and throws the keyboard in for free.

The Huawei MateBook is no Surface Pro

Can Chinese tech titan Huawei give Microsoft and Apple a run for their money?

Ultra-thin metal design ; Runs Windows 10 ; Good-enough performance ; Sharp, high-res screen ; Fingerprint sensor security

Models with 4GB of RAM insufficient ; Keyboard keys are too big and mushy ; Weak battery life ; Volume buttons too flat

Huawei's MateBook would have been a decent entry-level Surface Pro 4 rival if not for middling performance and weak battery life.

Huawei MateBook review: Can it beat the Surface Pro 4?

Beautiful tablet design undermined by terrible battery life and a sub-par keyboard case

The Huawei MateBook isn’t yet available to buy in the UK, but with prices for the tablet starting at €799 (£660 at the time of writing) for the Intel Core m3 version, it should be cheaper than both the Surface Pro 4 and Samsung Galaxy TabPro S when it...
