What’s inside: Huawei MateBook

Huawei’s MateBook is the company’s first Windows-powered laptop replacement, similar to the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Samsung Galaxy TabPro S. The 2-in-1 design includes a detachable keyboard and stylus for drawing and making notes.

At 278.82 mm long, 194.63 mm wide, and 6.99 mm thick, the MateBook is equipped with a 2.2-GHz Dual-Core Intel Core m3 processor that runs on Microsoft Windows 10. It has a 12-inch IPS TFT LCD multicapacitive touchscreen rendering 2,160 x 1,440 pixels, a 5-megapixel BSI CMOS front camera, and up to 128 GB of TLC NAND flash storage.

The built-in touchpad has an incredibly fine surface that makes for accurate mousing. The MateBook’s extremely fast fingerprint sensor logs the user into Windows at almost a snap. Additionally, the device’s screen and speakers are among the best compared to other tablets.

The tablet features three 3-axis MEMS accelerometers, a 3-axis MEMS gyroscope, an ambient light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a Hall-effect switch, and a digital temperature sensor (SSD). It is equipped with 4 GB of LPDDR3 SDRAM and a 4,300-mAh/4,430-mAh Li-Polymer battery that lasts up to 10 hours. Priced at $700, the Huawei MateBook comes in gold or gray.
