About this deal

is extremely portable, and the impressive rigid Space Grey aluminium alloy chassis is equally as lavish. The system drive only has about 76 GB available, so capacity issues can quickly arise here if you don't pay attention to downloads and installations. It also means that Windows Hello facial recognition is out of the question, but Huawei integrates the fingerprint reader into the power button – an approach that works well. However, the keyboard feels a bit rattly overall, and it's also quite loud when typing, so you only get an average typing experience overall here.

There are no changes in terms of design, and the D 15 is identical to the MateBook D 14 in many ways, save for the size, which is why we shall refer our readers to the review of the D 14 in certain sections instead of providing detailed descriptions. In our Wi-Fi test at 150 cd/m² (corresponds to 72% of the test device's maximum brightness), it almost lasts 9 hours, and at maximum brightness, it still lasts 7:30 hours, which surpasses almost every comparison device as well. The performance yield is good because the CPU quickly settles at a stable 31 watts after briefly consuming 36 watts. mm HUAWEI Shark fin fan improves heat dissipation to keep things cooler, all the while remaining quiet as a mouse. algorithms provide truly pristine surround sound that washes over you like a cool, breathtaking wave.

The MateBook D 15 is only equipped with one fan, but it usually remains very quiet in everyday use, and the laptop is often completely silent since there aren't any annoying electronic noises, such as coil whine, either. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1155G7 processor makes everything that much faster, so you spend less time waiting and more time doing.

From the gray aluminum design to the size and shape of the keyboard, you’d almost be forgiven for thinking this was an Apple device, if it wasn’t for Huawei’s branding and lack of Touch Bar. The screen is surrounded by impressively thin bezels, which keeps the overall size of the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) down, while also adding to that premium and modern look of the device. Overall, performance is decent, and you can play a few videos or some music here without any issues, but bass is largely missing. Another damp note is that, as is typical of Huawei’s notebooks, the webcam is a pop-up affair hidden below a fake key between F6 and F7. ports, for example, seem a bit out of place, but since there's also a fast port on the other side, there should rarely be any limitations in practice in this respect.For that money, you get an 11th gen Core i5 processor, a 512GB SSD, 8GB of RAM and a Full HD IPS display.

The multi-function USB-C port can be used for charging and data transmission, Display output not supported. The MateBook D 15 scored 112 in our benchmarks, outpacing Intel’s Core processors in both video-encoding and multitasking tasks.

This can be used to keep all your drivers up to date and to put the D15 into a special Performance mode, which runs the cooling fans faster and the processor harder. Despite taking a lot of design cues from Apple, it also includes some useful innovations, like a hidden webcam in the keyboard and NFC sharing with compatible smartphones, but the battery life and screen are disappointing. Another thing we like about the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) compared to the MacBook is the number of ports.

Tested under my usual workload of writing into web apps, streaming some music and video, and keeping a lot of web pages open at once, the 42Wh battery slipped to 44% from a full charge in three hours. It is suitable for long typing sessions, but those who often use the “home” and “end” keys will painfully miss them. The integrated Vega 6 GPU of the Ryzen processor is very well suited for all everyday things, and thanks to the strong video decoder, it doesn't have any problems with the playback of high-resolution videos. To form a Super Device, open the control center on your laptop, access the Super Device screen, and drag and drop to connect the devices.

it’s even heavier than the HP Pavilion; if size and weight are your main concerns rather than screen size, then the excellent 14in Acer Swift 5 is well worth a look as an alternative.
