Huaweiisn’t taking it easy at all… Huawei had one major product announcement during Mobile World Congress 2016: the MateBook. The tablet, which comes in both grey and golden, is lighter than it looks (at 640 grams), very slim and features a very nice 2160×1440 screen with only a very slim bezel around it.
The MateBook is designed to be an alternative to laptops and is thinner than Microsoft's rival Surface Pro 4 thanks to its use of a USB-C port.
The Chinese firm is already the world's third-bestselling mobile phone-maker, but until now had only made tablets powered by Android.
The MateBook features a 12in (30.5cm) display and can be clipped into an add-on keyboard and used with a stylus.
Its advantages over Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 are that it is:
-
nearly 20% thinner, measuring 6.9mm (0.3in) deep
-
about 20% lighter, weighing 630g (1.4lb)
-
has a fingerprint sensor built into its side, unlike the Surface Pro which requires its cover to be attached to use the feature
Specs wise you have a variety of sixth-generation Intel Core M processors (a major let down especially when others have Intel’s more powerful Core i5 or i7 chips), the ability to choose either 4GB or 8GB of RAM and up to a 512GB SSD.
It comes with a 5MP camera, a 4430mAh battery that Huawei claim will get 10 hours from that battery on a single charge and a fingerprint sensor built into its side. One other unusual feature about the machine is that its stylus includes a laser pointer at the opposite end to its nib.
