Huawei MateBook X Pro Price, Specs, Everything You Need To Know

The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2020 comes with upgraded components and extremely impressive battery life. But, the downside is its hefty price tag. Continue reading as we will bring you all the information you need to know about this device, from Huawei MateBook X Pro price to specs.

Huawei MateBook X Pro Review

The Huawei MateBook X 2020 is the Chinese manufacturer’s latest flagship laptop. With their premium designs as well as decent specs, previous models of the laptop have impressed consumers. But depending on your location, buying the laptop can be tricky.

If you live in China, you can easily get the Huawei MateBook X Pro. It isn’t the same thing for US consumers after the brand has been banned by the US government.

Huawei MateBook X Pro Price

For the base variant that costs around $1,600, you have Intel core i5, 16GB of RAM as well as 512GB SSD. Paying about $300 more, you will have a model equipped with Nvidia MX250 graphics.

You can also pay $2,200 for a high-end model that comes with an Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM, an SSD of 1TB, and Nvidia MX250 GPU.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro is available for purchase in the UK, mainland Europe, Russia, Asia, Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East.

With its starting price, the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2020 is quite an expensive laptop. Consumers will expect it to deliver top-notch features, build quality, and performance.

It also means that the laptop is going to compete with flagship laptops from trusted and well-known brands such as Apple, HP, and Dell.

Compared to the 2018 original MateBook X Pro, the new MateBook X Pro is more expensive. Of course, the new model has better specs.

The price of the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2020 is even more expensive than Apple’s cheapest MacBook Pro 13-inch that has a starting price of $1,299. But again, the MateBook X Pro from Huawei wins in terms of specs.

Huawei MateBook X Pro Design

For design, Huawei doesn’t make many changes to the new MateBook X Pro 2020.

The laptop has a nice design. It feels sturdy while having a sleek look. When carried around, it doesn’t feel bulky or heavy at all. The Huawei MateBook X Pro weighs 1.33kg and has dimensions of 304 x 14.6 x 217mm. Compared to the 13-inch MacBook Pro from Apple, it is more compact and slightly lighter.

Huawei MateBook X Pro Display

The laptop has a 13.9-inch touchscreen with an unusual resolution of 3000 x 2000. This is because it has a 3:2 aspect ratio. You will have more vertical space. In theory, this means you will find it easier when working on documents since you don’t have to scroll up and down.

This is also the same aspect ratio of photos, meaning images will look clear and sharp on the display. While the screen would be good for 3D modelers and animators and video editors, the Nvidia MX250 graphics card of the laptop is only an entry-level GPU. It isn’t capable of handling intensive graphical tasks.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro has two USB-C ports, a standard USB 3.0 port as well as a 3.5mm audio jack.

Huawei didn’t make any changes to the keyboard. And it isn't a bad thing. The keyboards are responsive. The same keyboard can be found on the Huawei MateBook D 15, the much cheaper laptop.

The 1MP webcam is built into the keyboard. On the one hand, this design allows Huawei to keep the bezels around the screen extremely thin. However, when you use the webcam, it is angled upwards.

The power button also doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. And it works flawlessly.

Huawei introduces a new color with the new MateBook X Pro: Emerald Green.

Huawei MateBook X Pro Performance

The laptop can easily handle day-to-day tasks. With its Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB RAM, Windows 10 operates fast and responsive.

The MateBook X Pro multitasks well and can run most apps with no difficulty. However, the MX250 GPU can’t handle super-intensive tasks.

The screen is vibrant and sharp. But its unusual aspect ratio means that when you stream widescreen TV shows and movies, you will find a lot of black bars at the display’s top and bottom.

Huawei MateBook X Pro Battery

The laptop also performs well in this category. It can last nearly eight hours even with a 1080p video playing on loop. This means you can easily use the laptop for a school or workday without having to charge it. We hope that all the information we have covered, from Huawei MateBook X Pro price to specs, can help you decide whether to splurge your money on this device.
