On November 6th, Huawei held a new product review of Huawei tablet and MateBook at Wuhan Research Institute, and launched the latest 13-inch lightweight version of the HUAWEI MateBook family, the HUAWEI MateBook 13.

 It not only has the super-high appearance and screen ratio of HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, but also has a new upgrade to HUAWEI Share, which is unique to HUAWEI MateBook series. HUAWEI Share has entered the 3.0 era. It is this “new” feature that enables HUAWEI MateBook 13 to occupy a place in the competition with other products of the same level. It can be said that the most powerful 13-inch comprehensive screen is light and thin. Next, let’s witness Huawei’s launch of HUAWEI MateBook 13.

Exquisite beauty

If you have come into contact with the HUAWEI MateBook series of notebooks, you will be impressed by it. Whether Huawei has a long history of logo, or challenging the appearance design of its predecessors on behalf of the new generation of notebook MateBook, it will always make you hesitant to choose one or the other. The new HUAWEI MateBook 13 is very praiseworthy in terms of appearance, not only small and delicate, but also Mateli. The HUAWEI MateBook 13 designed by the author adopts the design of Haoyue Silver, which can meet the aesthetic needs of the vast majority of users.

HUAWEI MateBook 13 uses a 13-inch full screen design, but the actual look and feel is 12 inches, the left and right border is only 4.4mm, the screen ratio is as high as 88%, of course, if the frame is a little narrower but to catch up with the current border design of some mobile phones, the appearance can be said to be quite fascinating. The overall size of the fuselage is 286mm “211mm” 14.9mm, the weight is about 1.3kg, it will be light and thin in the hand, and there will be no obvious feeling of falling. HUAWEI MateBook 13 has a resolution of 2160 to 1440, a wide sRGB gamut of 100%, a contrast of 1000 and a PPI of 200, achieving a 2K display effect.

 In the picture display and video playback are very amazing, combined with a comprehensive screen, whether watching blockbusters or the office will be very comfortable. In addition, HUAWEI MateBook 13 still uses the 3:2 productivity screen design, which is different from the 16Suzhou 9 on the market, this design can display more content, whether it is Word or Excel or photo browsing, to maximize the screen display.

When it comes to the A side of HUAWEI MateBook 13, consistent with the previous generation, there is a simple Huawei logo, embedded in the center. When you open the HUAWEI MateBook 13 office, or the game audio and video, as the A side shown to others, it can leave a concise and generous impression, and the moment you close HUAWEI MateBook 13, this is a masterpiece of aesthetics and technology.

If you think just looking at side A doesn’t mean anything, then the moment you opened HUAWEI MateBook 13 really shocked me. HUAWEI MateBook 13 uses a full screen design, and the 3:2 productivity screen design makes HUAWEI MateBook 13 have a very high degree of recognition when compared with other notebooks. 3:2 productivity screen will be a new design of the notebook and will be a design that opens a new visual experience for you, which is very fresh for users who are used to watching the traditional 16:9 ratio. 

Unlike HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, which uses a full screen design with a pop-up camera, HUAWEI MateBook 13 narrows the border around the screen as much as possible and places the camera on the top border of the screen without affecting its appearance. In the bottom frame of the screen is printed with the word “HUAWEI” brand, the central design so that the entire screen frame will not be very monotonous, but looks quite symmetrical aesthetic.

On the C side of HUAWEI MateBook 13, the keyboard and touchpad occupy most of the area. Besides the keyboard and touchpad, there is also a fingerprint power key designed in the upper right corner of, HUAWEI MateBook 13. As the name implies, HUAWEI MateBook 13 supports fingerprint identification function, and users can turn on and log in with one fingerprint button when using it, without having to enter the login interface to verify fingerprints. This is obviously an interactive way for users to consider. 

Both security and full of human nature, but we need to remind you, do not forget the traditional password because of the long-term use of fingerprints. In addition to the regular processor tag, the C side of HUAWEI MateBook 13 also adds a “HUAWEI Share” tag, through which users can complete a magical “cross-border transfer”.

There is also a very user-friendly design on the C side, that is, the groove under the touchpad, the width of the groove is moderate, the concavity is also moderate, the combination of the two will not feel any awkwardness when you open HUAWEI MateBook 13, but will be more comfortable and faster. Through such a groove design, it is enough to see how exquisite HUAWEI MateBook 13 is in terms of detail.

Four rubber pads are placed in the four corners of the D side of the HUAWEI MateBook 13 to prevent skid and scratches, and of course, because the HUAWEI MateBook 13 speakers are also designed at the bottom, these four rubber pads also have a heightening effect, so that the sound can be better displayed.

And it can also be like a smartphone, the screen brightness is adjusted according to the light, combined with Huawei’s eye protection mode, it can give users a comfortable look and feel without the embarrassment of glare at night.

In terms of workmanship, Huawei has also carried out careful design, the side curve is round and curved, and the chamfer is drilled and cut by aviation grade aluminum alloy CNC, and the high gloss chamfer is shown under precision milling cutter processing. There are no extra elements in the whole fuselage, and any line and hole design has its own function. In terms of handle, HUAWEI MateBook 13 also uses precision ceramic sandblasting, which can not only keep the luster introverted, but also bring a comfortable touch, and make the color of the whole machine as gentle and delicate as gems.
