Design:
The aluminum make of this one would remind us a considerable measure of Apple's MacBooks, and that cannot be called a bad thing. Not just is it a thin, silver wedge (additionally made in Space Gray), it appears easy to open its lid with one hand, a characteristic of Apple's notebooks. It likewise dons a sparkly inclined edge around its keyboard area, which the MacBooks don't have. This 14-inch Huawei Matebook weighs 2.9 pounds and happens to be 0.6 inches thick.

It likewise has a 3K (3,000 x 2,000) resolution, which prompts to a 260 PPI (pixels per inch) pixel density. Thus, the display can be calles bounty sharp, however you might see that it is all the more 'square' than different other laptops. Owing to it including a 3:2 aspect ratio, ala the MateBook X gadget prior to it, instead of the most widely recognized ratio of 16:9. In this manner, it offers more vertical space compared to other workstations, which could help with efficiency, however watching TV and films on it might bring about more obvious black bars towards the top and base of the display than most other.
