The HUAWEI Matebook series has always known to provide a value-for-money laptop for what they usually offer – from a spec, design, and price perspective, but if you are looking for a laptop that is more on the prosumer category, here is where the Matebook X Pro would be the right choice for you!
Hey guys, Adam Lobo here from Adam Lobo TV, and in this article, I will be giving you 7 REASONS why you should get the new HUAWEI Matebook X Pro right now!
Unboxing
Now before I begin, let’s check out the unboxing experience.
The HUAWEI Matebook X comes in a white box, with the HUAWEI logo on the top right and HUAWEI Matebook X Pro in the middle.
Opening the box flap, you will find the HUAWEI MateDock 2 Quick Start Guide. Then, you will find the laptop itself.
Underneath, towards the right, you will find the 65-Watt USB-C Super Charging Brick.
Then on the left, there is a HUAWEI MateDock 2 which has a USB-C port, a VGA port and also a HDMI port, which was really nice to know that HUAWEI has included that inside of the box.
Next, there is the USB-C to USB-C cable. Then finally, there is the Warranty Card and another Quick Start Guide for the laptop.

#1 – Fast and smoother network and multitasking software performance
First, is the fast and smoother network and multitasking performance.
Without being all technical first, I have to say that since the laptop comes with Wi-Fi 6, the 2×2 MIMO dual-antenna network interface gives faster transfer speeds compared to a Wi-Fi 5 as you can really feel the difference, so if you ever been contemplating or holding off getting a Wi-Fi 6 router, as mentioned before that the HUAWEI Wi-Fi AX3 is available from RM299 and it is mesh compatible as well.
And I also found that when I was using the laptop in a cafe just downstairs my studio, yeap, this was BEFORE the MCO version 3.
I noticed that the Wi-Fi speed seems to be even faster compared to how it was on previous laptops that I have reviewed which had Wi-Fi 5.
Then when it comes to multi-tasking, because of its 16GB of DD4 RAM and the fast NVMe PCIe SSD storage, I also found that launching apps, scrolling through the browser even with some background apps open while video editing, it still handled well, with no lag whatsoever.
Also, I have to say that the typing experience was great during these multitasking situations too, where it had just the right travel for each key, coupled with the trackpad too it was pretty nice with a bit more friction feel as well going from edge to edge.

#2 – HUAWEI Share and Multiscreen Collaboration
So if you guys are a regular friend here in the channel, you would have probably noticed how I go on and on about the HUAWEI Share and the Multiscreen Collaboration.
While you would find similar sharing features like AirDrop on Apple devices, for HUAWEI devices, where the HUAWEI Ecosystem really shines is through the very unique Multiscreen Collaboration where with the latest update, you can not only have the phone’s screen to appear on the laptop screen with almost no latency navigating from your phone and on the screen, but now you can bring up to 3 screens, it’s like multitasking on steroids!
Now this can be activated by tapping your HUAWEI smartphone on the trackpad to get it to work and you can have use case scenarios, like one screen being your smartphone home screen, another bringing up the Shopee homepage, and with the other being your notes.
And since you literally have the exact mirror of your smartphone screen on the laptop, gone are the days of emailing yourself files and pictures as you can now just drag the files directly from your phone to your laptop and vice versa.

#3 – Easy and Convenient Log In
As for the 3rd reason would be the easy and convenient log in.
Don’t you just hate a situation where you might forget your password, well for me, it happens all the time, especially when it comes to reviewing devices.
Similar to the other recent Matebook series, this Matebook X Pro comes with a 2 in 1 fingerprint and power button, allowing you to access the laptop securely with a single press of the button all the way from the power off or sleep state of the laptop, saving you the hassle of keying in a password to access Windows or before loading and keeping it minimalist yet very functional indeed.
And even with its very minimalist outlook, I love how there are two USB-C ports that are capable of fast charging, and data speeds up to 40 Gbps, and support up to dual 4k displays.
Then there’s a 3.5mm headphones and microphone jack combo and also, a USB-A version 3.2 port as well.
And all of these are on a 1.33kg light and super thin 14.6mm body without sacrificing its premium emerald green finish.

#4 – Excellent Hardware Performance
Now all of these features would not be worthy if it didn’t perform at its best, so reason number 4 would be its excellent hardware performance.
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is built with 11th Gen Intel®️ Core™️ Processor, ensuring an outstanding experience with a CPU that has four cores and eight threads, delivering up to 42.6% with better multi-thread performance in benchmarks.
As you all know, I am not a fan of a benchmark test, but this is great for you people who feel that is important.
And speaking of the processor again, this new processor is built on Intel’s new 10nm SuperFin process, which allows the processor to be even more power-efficient than the previous generation.
So this was the core reason why as mentioned earlier that it performs well from a software’s perspective whether it is gaming on Genshin Impact (with Custom Medium Settings and Motion blur turned off), or video editing for 4k files and even stretching to my Blackmagic RAW uncolored 6k footage on Davinci Resolve.

#5 – Power On Demand / Battery Performance
Next, the fifth reason would be the Power On Demand or the battery performance.
The HUAWEI Matebook X Pro comes with 56-Watt Hour battery which HUAWEI claims can get up to 10 hours of local video playback, where based on me watching videos on Netflix for a quite long time, with some video editing and little gaming, I got about 9 hours plus, with the brightness all the way up.
So you will surely get more if you don’t go towards extreme usage like how I did, and what’s extra cool is the fact that there is the 65-watts super-fast charging that comes inside of the box, which based on my test, you can get from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes that will get the laptop up and running in no time again, especially with HUAWEI’s Intelligent Power Saving Technology.

#6 – Immersive Visual Experience
As for the second last reason, would be the Immersive Visual Experience.
The HUAWEI Matebook X Pro comes with a 13.9-inches, 10 points multi-touch screen LTPS display, with a resolution of 3000 by 2000 3K full view display, a maximum brightness of 450 nits and a 91% screen-to-body ratio.
And not only watching videos was great on the laptop, especially in my super bright studio and I found it very nice when it comes to reading text on websites, and even when I zoom it via the touch screen, it still held the resolution pretty well too.
Where I did find the display really shine was when I was playing games too and of course when I was video editing as well, to really accurately color grade the footage, since it comes with a 100% sRGB color gamut.
In addition to that, the display also has TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, where you can enjoy a comfortable viewing experience even for extended periods of time.
Now if you are wondering where the webcam is, it is actually built inside on the keyboard. With a 720p resolution, to be honest I am not a big fan because of the angle of the camera, but it does give you a privacy peace of mind.

#7 – Amazing Freebies
Alright, who here loves freebies? I am VERY sure you do because the 7th reason would be the Amazing Freebies.
As of the making of this video, the HUAWEI Matebook X Pro is going for a price of RM6,899 with the Emerald Green color which I got my hands on to review, where the free gifts are the HUAWEI Backpack Swift and the HUAWEI Bluetooth Mouse Swift.
