    Nice. Just wish it was latest gen for the Iris graphics.

      But you get the mx250 which is going to be better than the iris integrated graphics

    Not bad considering it is a touch screen. And what a terrible battery.

      mx250 is not a capable gpu at all, with similar performance compares to iris Xe, a little better than vega8

  • Hugh G Rection on 11/09/2021 - 11:09

    this would be good for a gaming laptop?

    • VoidIvory on 11/09/2021 - 11:15

      Not at all, unless you are only playing csgo and league, even that you are better off buying a proper gaming laptop with decent cooling designs.

      • Hugh G Rection on 11/09/2021 - 11:19

        i play dota mostly, and some csgo. any recommendations for a budget gaming laptop with above average performance, i probably won't be playing any games that are graphically demanding, but would like to play dota on max settings.

          I have the non touchscreen version with slightly less powerful specs. Tried running on dota on low-mid settings and it does perform at 60fps, but the fans were really loud and the laptop gets really hot. I wouldn't recommend gaming on this laptop, much less at higher settings.

          But damn I love the QHD screen for non-gaming stuff. Going from 1080p to this feels so good.

        • noodlefan on 11/09/2021 - 12:33

          Would be lucky if you can play on medium setting with this laptop.

        • Nom on 11/09/2021 - 18:49

          If you want a gaming laptop with above average performance, you need to just buy a gaming laptop 👍

    • Dr Fruit on 11/09/2021 - 11:16

      Not really, maybe only good for low-medium settings to get 30 fps.

    • boomy on 11/09/2021 - 11:26

      No thunderbolt either so can't hook it up to an egpu. I have a dell laptop with the same specs and the mx250 is pretty much useless. Even AAA games from 2015 run poorly

  • ozpalacious on 11/09/2021 - 11:26

    This or MacBook Air 8gb M1 ?

    • boomy on 11/09/2021 - 11:29

      If you want a touch screen this is a decent option. Macbook is probably better fit for the average person though

      What didn't you like about it or what issues did you have?

      • shabaka on 11/09/2021 - 12:43
        +2
        1. overheating. just plain bad thermal design with heatpipes being positioned in an inefficient way
        2. as a result, runs hot doing everyday tasks. gaming? be prepared to listen to high pitched fans full speed non stop.
        3. a lot of Huawei proprietary soft which looks kind of dodgy. also, what happens when they stop updating that software? will it still be compatible with future windows versions? no one knows
        4. mine started to blue screen every now and then for no apparent reason. so I reset it and got rid of it

        enough reasons to say never again? I think yeah :)

        but of course do your own research. I am not touching anything Huawei, not even with someone else's 10 feet titanium pole

        • henesey on 11/09/2021 - 13:03

          While I understand some of your concerns, but Windows update? That has nothing to do with the manufacturer. Don't think HUAWEI will block Windows updates.

    recommend to do some research before purchase, this CPU is kind of week if you need to do some heavy lifting, programming, VM, simulation etc..

    This laptop would be good for gaming for some people and bad for gaming for other people. Purely depends on what games you're playing.

    Genuine question… Has anyone had long term ownership experience with Huawei laptops.

    Wife has a p20 pro still going strong after 3 years and won't upgrade and now she is looking for a laptop. Dell and hp and lenovo have been crap builds imho. She isn't a gamer except for pvz

      Had mine for almost 3 years now- never had any issues.

    • NormalGoat on 12/09/2021 - 10:10

      3 years now, it was the best laptop for my needs when I was desperately finding a replacement for my surface pro 3
      Pros:
      - great high res display, 3:2 aspect ratio
      - solid build quality
      - chiclet keys have nice feel/travel
      - huawei share (useful for your wife to transfer pics via NFC and her phone)

      Cons:
      - does not handle light gaming (if it does, the fan runs loud and the game frame rates are just bareable)
      - sadly I was not aware of how poor the battery life would be/become - always had to carry my charger at uni
      - finger print reader has now stopped working
      - only charges from one out of the two usb-c ports

      • Avatarz on 13/09/2021 - 13:56

        how long does the battery last? is it enough for word typing at uni for a 4 hr leccy?

        • NormalGoat on 13/09/2021 - 14:41

          Yeah 4 hours is fine, but I found the battery would be about 20-30% after the lecture with moderate brightness

      I've had a MateBook X Pro for 3 years and am very satisfied with it. Runs well, built solid, excellent 3000x2000 touchscreen, and the MX150 lets me run RTX Voice if needed. Previous laptop was a Surface Book, and before that a series of ThinkPads. They were all fine, but this MateBook has been the most satisfying of the lot.

      I wouldn't get it for games though, a proper gaming laptop would be more satisfying.

  • Usernametwice on 11/09/2021 - 13:55

    Not sure if I should get this or the ideapad S540.

    (https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-5-serie…)

    The ideapad 5 has a better processor if I'm not mistaken?

  • KenDiaMoi on 11/09/2021 - 14:21

    Can someone genuinely explain to me what the point of an i7 is in a thin and light laptop?

    What usecase would an i7 be useful (with no accompanying dedicated GPU), where an i5 or i3 would not?

  • zjz93 on 11/09/2021 - 14:22
    +2

    be aware that matebooks have inadequate cooling systems for those who are buying for the i7. it will overheat quite quickly and cant sustain high clock speeds

    • shabaka on 11/09/2021 - 16:10

      I second that

      Huawei should stick to making phones

  • Imneedy on 11/09/2021 - 22:29

    Does anyone own one of these laptops and managed to update it to the latest build of windows 10? There is a known issue: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/content/en-us15773026…
    I have not found any evidence that this has been fixed, just plenty of upset owners that are stuck on build that is no longer supported by MIcrosoft
