We all know Huawei as a top manufacturer of smartphones and other wireless communication devices. But recently, the company ventured into the production of laptops. Recently, Huawei announced two new laptops, the Matebook X and the Matebook D. Also, the company announced a new version of the Matebook E, which is a Windows 10 tablet.
MATEBOOK X
At first glance, you might mistake it for a 12-inch MacBook. But make no mistake; the Matebook X has closer specs to the MacBook Pro. The Matebook X is actually slimmer than the MacBook Pro, weighing just 1.05 kilograms, with a thickness of just 12.5mm. It comes with an Intel U-Series processor, and the power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor. Also, the aluminum chassis comes in gold, grey and pink.
Furthermore, the laptop comes with Dolby’s Atmos sound system, which features integrated software and hardware solutions for superior sound quality. The speakers, which are located just above the keyboard, were designed in collaboration with Dolby, along with the preloaded software that optimizes the sound. Reportedly, this results in dynamic sound that feels just like real life. Note that this is the first laptop to come with Dolby’s Atmos sound system.
