On April 11, 2024, the all-new Huawei MateBook X Pro was officially released. In the context of the PC industry entering the AI era, intelligent innovation has become the focus of the industry's pursuit. So, as an important product in Huawei's notebook series, what are the core competitiveness of the MateBook X Pro?
Let's take a look at the Huawei MateBook X Pro product itself.
First of all, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is only 13.5mm thick and weighs only 980 grams, which is obviously more than the traditional notebook itself. The Huawei MateBook X Pro uses Huawei's self-developed Cloud Falcon architecture, which reduces the weight of the motherboard by 13% compared with its predecessor, reduces the internal space occupation by 8%, and increases the stacking density by 26%. Because of this, the Huawei MateBook X Pro can perfectly accommodate the Intel ® Core ™Ultra 9 high-performance processor, as well as a larger fan, a larger battery, and a larger speaker.
At the same time, the Huawei MateBook X Pro uses a lighter and thinner flexible OLED screen, which can significantly reduce the weight and thickness of the whole machine, and reduce the screen weight by nearly 51% compared to the previous generation. The "door" touchpad is also the focus of weight reduction, thanks to the optimization of the overall solution, compared with the previous generation of touchpad weight reduction of nearly 26%. The Huawei MateBook X Pro is Huawei's first 14.2-inch flexible OLED notebook, supporting 1000 nits of peak brightness, boasting an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio of 93%, a resolution of 3120 x 2080, and a PPI of up to 264. In terms of color performance, the screen of Huawei MateBook X Pro supports native 1.07 billion color display. The Huawei MateBook X Pro has also received TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 3.0 certification.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro is equipped with a customized high-bass crossover 6-speaker system that supports the industry's first "Smart Mixer" technology. In terms of radio, it also adopts a new 4-microphone design on the sky side, which supports 360° all-round sound broadcasting, and can reach 5 meters of long-distance pickup. The new "Smart Sound Screen Technology" ensures clear and accurate voice input, using a new AI beam algorithm and introducing a continuous-time sound source attention mechanism for the first time, which can capture the speaker's voice more accurately. The Huawei MateBook X Pro also innovatively adopts the patented dual-core charging technology, 140W super fast charging Turbo, which can charge for 10 minutes and work for 3 hours.
In terms of intelligent capabilities, Huawei has always been at the forefront of the industry. Relying on the advantages of large models, device-cloud collaboration, and all-scenario scenarios, the intelligent capabilities of the Huawei MateBook X Pro have been comprehensively evolved for a series of scenarios such as office, learning, creation, and life.
For example, the Huawei MateBook X Pro introduces injection molding technology to the PC camera industry, and the unique AI insight function significantly improves the user experience. Natural Eye Mode detects a face image and is corrected by an AI algorithm to provide a sense of face-to-face communication even when not staring at the camera, while Shadow Follows Motion mode ensures that the user is always in the center. The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro uses AI sound effects for noise reduction, and provides a quiet space, pure voices, and high-fidelity mode in HUAWEI Smart Meetings to record human voices and ambient sounds in the user's scene, which is obviously more suitable for complex office scenes, video conference scenarios, and video and text creator scenarios.
In terms of connectivity, the Huawei MateBook X Pro continues to consolidate its advantages in the fields of super terminal, multi-screen collaboration, super relay, and smart search. For example, for the first time, Huawei's Pangu model is used to quickly and accurately extract key information from text, audio, and video content, helping users grasp the key points of a meeting more efficiently. Huawei's AI Space feature allows you to directly access a wide range of AI applications with one click, supporting 100+ agents, making it a one-stop AI capability aggregation portal. It is easy to use scenarios such as code programming, PPT production, paper reading and typesetting, collection of learning materials, video and picture creation, and travel planning.
In fact, seeing this, I believe everyone has already perceived the core competitiveness of Huawei MateBook X Pro. Zhu Dongdong, President of Huawei's Device BG Tablet and PC Product Line, pointed out that "Huawei has three major capabilities, which can be called a true AI PC." The first thing you can see is the large model, Huawei MateBook X Pro streamlines the large model on the cloud, appears as a large model of the client, and matches the NPU computing power to the large model to make it efficient. Cloud convergence, on the other hand. Through intelligent perception and active services in local scenarios, AI computing power, power consumption, and security are taken into account.
The second is the figure of big data. Huawei's long-term accumulation and advantages in the field of large models are outstanding, and its all-scenario layout allows it to have more big data in addition to mobile phones. Based on big data and the processing and improvement of large models, Huawei's data advantages in AI PCs are self-evident.
The third is the figure of large computing power. Huawei MateBook X Pro uses Intel Core Ultra 9 high-performance processor, this processor itself is powerful, and the architecture of CPU+GPU+NPU also makes AI computing more powerful. In addition, a series of innovative software and hardware integration solutions, such as Super Turbo and Huawei's shark fin cooling system, achieve twice the result with half the effort in terms of intelligent sensing, interconnection, and creation.
In fact, the performance of Huawei's PC business in 2023 is remarkable. According to market research agency Canalys, the annual growth rate of the PC market in Chinese mainland will be -17% in 2023. Huawei, on the other hand, grew by 11%, making it the only brand to grow. This not only shows that Huawei is a growth machine in the PC market, but also because Huawei's PC has a different foothold.
It is clear from the Huawei MateBook X Pro that with the support of AI technology, Huawei has deployed all scenarios by connecting mobile phones, tablets, PCs, and wearable products, thereby accelerating the innovation and implementation of intelligent capabilities in the PC industry. To put it simply, "focus on the present with the future, focus on the product with user thinking, and optimize the scene experience". Whether it is intelligent perception + intelligent interaction + intelligent creation, or through "large model + big data + large computing power", Huawei has verified and led the future development trend of the PC market with its own practice and strength.
As Zhu said, "The emergence of AI makes it possible for PCs to reshape the possibility of being the main device for creation, because the capabilities of device-side AI can only be maximized on PCs, and only devices like PCs can become the main devices of device-side AI." There is reason to believe that Huawei's smart PC is expected to boost industrial transformation, and China's PC market may also be reshuffled.
