How about Huawei matebook x pro? In depth evaluation of Huawei matebook x Pro configuration performa

In recent years, domestic brands have risen rapidly, and among many domestic brands, Huawei is the most recognized and supported representative of domestic brands. Speaking of Huawei's representative products, in addition to mobile phones, Huawei's notebook computers are also commendable. Matebookx Pro is a product of Huawei's notebook that is very concerned by consumers, and I did a lot of homework in order to buy a suitable laptop for my father, and finally chose Huawei matebookx pro. Everyone must want to know how the performance of Huawei matebook x Pro laptop is? What are the advantages and disadvantages? This article brings you the in-depth evaluation of Huawei matebook x Pro notebook for your reference. I hope it can be helpful to you.

Let's talk about why I bought Huawei matebook x Pro for my father.

1. The screen is quite amazing

Before buying, my father and I went to the physical store to have a look. At that time, we were amazed by the screen of Huawei matebook x pro. This screen not only had bright colors and clear details, but also had an unprecedented visual impact brought by the narrow frame.

Moreover, this screen is not an ordinary 16:9 aspect ratio, but a 3:2 ratio, which looks more square. The 3:2 screen can perfectly match when displaying photos, because the photos taken by the camera are basically 3:2. In addition, it can be displayed more vertically when browsing web pages, making excel tables and drawing CAD drawings, which will improve office efficiency.

In addition, this screen also supports touch. People like my father who are used to touch phones can switch seamlessly when using Huawei matebook x pro. The learning cost is almost zero where they want to see.

2. Excellent quality

Another reason why I liked Huawei matebook x pro at first was that it had excellent quality. It had an all metal body. On side a, there was only Huawei's petal logo and English letters. It was very, and the whole machine had no other redundant design.

Huawei matebook x Pro is not heavy and thin in hand. I checked that its weight is about 1.33kg and its thickness is about 14.6mm. The ThinkPad my father has been using before has used R series and T series. Although it is classic, I am tired of reading too much. The lightweight design of Huawei matebook x Pro has won my father's heart.

In terms of details, the design of Huawei matebook x Pro is also very exquisite. For example, the four edges of side a have a downward bending radian, and the four corners are rounded, which looks very round. There is also a circle of chamfered bright edges on the B / C side, the start button and the edge of the touch panel, which is very dazzling in the light. In addition, the joints are tightly fitted, and the degree of integration is very high.

3. Many innovative designs have been added

Although Huawei has not entered the notebook field for a long time, I think they still have ideas. For example, the hidden camera and fingerprint power key on Huawei matebook x Pro are not available to traditional notebook manufacturers.

Hidden camera

These designs and functions are really easy to use. They are not fancy fists and embroidered legs, such as hidden cameras. It first solves the problem of camera position under the comprehensive screen. We saw that the laptop camera is either above or below the screen. This design idea can not achieve the comprehensive screen at all. The second is to solve the problem of security. The hidden camera will pop up when it is used and put it away when it is not used. It will not be exposed like the previous notebook camera, and there is a risk of leaking personal privacy.

Fingerprint power key

There is also the fingerprint power key that combines the fingerprint identification and the start key. After pressing the start key, the fingerprint is automatically identified, eliminating the steps of pasting it again to identify the fingerprint. The time to start the system is greatly shortened and very convenient.

4. Lightweight portable capture dad's heart

Of course, there is another important reason why this book can impress dad - that is Dad's pollen identity that has lasted for many years. You know, dad is an old user who has used Huawei mobile phones for more than five years, and his recognition of Huawei brand is quite high. Therefore, when he asked me to change a notebook more suitable for going out and office, I recommended matebook x pro, a business thin book launched by Huawei that can meet the office and entertainment needs of his flying man. Sure enough, in the following days, whether he wanted to sit in his study, browse the news, write essays, or start working in the air at any time on the plane, this book became his favorite.

After talking about the feelings of Huawei matebook x pro, let's talk about its upgraded product - the new Huawei matebook x pro.

The new Huawei matebook x Pro changes the logo on side a to pure letters

The new Huawei matebook x Pro is the latest full screen notebook released by Huawei in MWC 2019. The new Huawei matebook x Pro can be regarded as a mid-term model because it has basically no change in appearance compared with the old Huawei matebook x pro. It is also a familiar all metal body minimalist design, a 3K full touch screen with a ratio of 3:2 and 91% screen, The only change in appearance is that the Huawei logo with petals on side a + English letters is replaced with a logo with only letters.

What are the changes in the new Huawei matebook x pro?

1. Comprehensive upgrade of CPU and graphics card

The new Huawei matebook x Pro mainly upgrades two core hardware: CPU and graphics card. The CPU is upgraded from Kaby Lake refresh architecture to whiskey Lake architecture, that is, from i7-8550u / i5-8250u to i7-8565u / i5-8265u. The number of core threads has not changed, but the maximum Rui frequency has increased by 500-600mhz, so the performance improvement is very limited. According to our previous tests, the improvement of whiskey Lake compared with Kaby Lake refresh is about less than 10%.

The graphics card is upgraded from the old mx150 to mx250, but the performance improvement is not high, because the mx250 adopts the same gp108 core as the mx150, and the power consumption is divided into 10W residual blood version and 25W full blood version as the mx150.

We tested with the latest version of gpu-z and found that the core frequency of this mx250 graphics card is 937mhz-1038mhz, there are 384 stream processors, 16 and 32 gratings / textures respectively, the video memory is 2GB gddr5 of SK Hynix, and the video memory bandwidth is 48.1gb/s, that is, the stream processor, optical grid unit and video memory capacity / bandwidth of mx250 are the same as those of mx150.

2. Huawei share smart connection creates a new experience

The new Huawei matebook x Pro focuses on creating a new experience of Huawei share smart connection, which includes three functions: Huawei one touch transmission, one touch recording screen and shared clipboard.

Huawei share one touch transmission function was first adopted on matebook 13 released at the end of last year. It is a function that can quickly transmit photos and videos between Huawei laptops and Huawei mobile phones, which is very convenient. The new Huawei matebook x Pro naturally cannot miss this black technology.

The new Huawei matebook x Pro also upgrades the one touch transmission function. For example, the office document transmission function is added on the basis of transmitting photos and videos. Word, PPT, Excel, TXT, PDF and other files can be transmitted between PC and mobile phone, which is undoubtedly more convenient for business people.

I believe that most friends transfer files between mobile phones and computers through third-party software, such as wechat and QQ. However, this transmission method is still cumbersome. For example, if I want to transfer a photo on my mobile phone to the computer, I need to send the photo to wechat first, and then download it from the wechat on the computer. Huawei's touch transmission is completely different. It only needs to put the mobile phone close to the Huawei share sticker to complete the operation.

The specific implementation steps are as follows: 1. Pair Huawei mobile phone with Huawei matebook x Pro; 2. Open the photo or video you want to transfer; 3. Place the mobile phone near the Huawei share sticker in the lower right corner of the notebook palm rest; 4. Transmission complete. The speed of one touch pass was very fast. I tried to pass several 3000 & times; 2000 resolution photos are about 5MB in size, basically transmitted in seconds.

In addition, the new Huawei matebook x Pro also supports one touch transmission, 60 second screen recording and clipboard sharing. One touch 60 second screen recording means that after the mobile phone is shaken, it can record the screen of PC for 60 seconds by touching Huawei share tag, without installing additional screen recording software. The shared clipboard refers to that when the mobile phone and notebook are close, the text can be copied and pasted across devices to realize space copying, which can effectively solve the rapid reference of text information between the mobile phone and notebook.

Realizing these functions requires both laptops and mobile phones. For example, Huawei laptops with computer housekeeper version 9.1 or above need to be equipped, and Huawei mobile phones with emui version 9.1 or above need to support NFC functions at the same time, such as mate20, mate20 pro, mate20 x, mate10, mate10 pro, mate9, mate9 pro, mate RS, P20, P20 pro, P10 and P10 plus.

3. First three finger slide screenshot

The new Huawei matebook x Pro adds a three finger slide screen capture. This function is common on mobile phones, but it is the first time to realize it on laptops. This function can be seen in the lower left corner of the computer housekeeper. There are four screenshots: rectangular screenshot, form screenshot, full screen screenshot and free screenshot.

The specific operation steps are as follows: 1. Slide the screen with three fingers; 2. Select screenshot selection; 3. Save the screenshot.

The GIF above is the operation mode of rectangular screenshot. There is no need to select a selection for form and full screen screenshot. After the image is cut, you can also cut, rotate, zoom in and out, copy to the clipboard, recognize the text in the image and so on.

4. Upgrade lightning 3 interface to full speed

The old Huawei matebook x Pro has two type-C interfaces, one of which is lightning 3, which can not only transmit data and charge, but also connect to the external display and graphics card docking station. However, the lightning 3 interface is not full speed, only half speed, that is, two PCIe 3.0. The new Huawei matebook x Pro is upgraded to full speed on the basis of retaining the lightning 3 interface, That is, 4 PCIe 3.0.

Finally, let me talk about the experience of using the new Huawei matebook x Pro during this period.

Like the screen of the old Huawei matebook x pro, the new Huawei matebook x Pro still gives me an excellent feeling of use. First, it is a 3:2 ratio screen. Compared with the 16:9 ratio screen common in ordinary notebooks, the 3:2 ratio screen can show more content vertically. If it is used for office, I believe the efficiency will be greatly improved.

In addition, the color and resolution. The color of this screen is very bright and positive. I measured it with Spyder elite 5 red spider color comparator. This screen has 95% sRGB and 71% Adobe RGB color gamut, which is very good. And it is also excellent in color accuracy, △ e is only 0.93. What is the concept of 0.93? That is, it is better than many professional monitors on the market.

Like the old model, the touch experience of the new Huawei matebook x Pro is also excellent. The keyboard cap is wide and the key range is moderate. It also supports Level 2 backlight and can accurately find the keys in the dark environment. In addition, the very large touch panel has a delicate and sensitive touch, and the feel of the left and right keys is also very solid.

In addition to the CPU and graphics card mentioned before, the Huawei m we tested
