The "ultra-thin and light notebook" is different from the traditional thin and light notebook, and the weight is controlled at about 1kg, which is extremely portable.
But the price is also very large, most of the ultra-thin and light laptops have poor performance, and they can only use the "U15" ultra-low power processor, and they can't bear the complicated office software.
Today's Huawei MateBook X Pro subverts my impression of ultra-thin and light laptops, its body is only 981g, but the CPU power consumption can reach 40W at full load, which is the top in its class.
Not only that, but it also has a sturdy body, and it doesn't "fall soft" because of the lightweight material.
So how does this computer perform in practice?
This time, let's briefly analyze:
华为 MateBook X Pro
Left side of the fuselage
The right side of the fuselage
It is configured as follows:
Ultra 9 185H processor
32GB LPDDR5x 6400MHz 内存
2TB SSD
14.2 inch 3120×2080 resolution 100% DCI-P3 color gamut 120Hz refresh rate OLED touch screen (no mesh)
Battery capacity 70Wh
厚度 13.5~15.4mm
Weight 981g
The adapter weighs 240g
The reference price is 14999 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
Merit!
1. Magnesium alloy body, light and strong
2. The screen quality is very high
3. Among similar products, the performance is released well
Shortcoming!
1. The anti-oil effect of the fuselage is poor
2. The types and numbers of interfaces are less
3. The surface temperature of the keyboard is high under high load
【Upgrade Suggestions】
This laptop is not difficult to disassemble, and the back cover can be removed after removing the screws of the D case. (Note that there are two hidden screws under the rear foot pad)
The dual-channel 32GB LPDDR5x 6400MHz memory can meet the needs of most uses, and the memory is onboard and cannot be replaced.
The SSD capacity of the test machine is 2TB, PCIe 4.0×4 and NVMe, and the machine only has a 2280 M.2 slot, which can be replaced if necessary.
【Purchase Suggestion】
1. The requirements for lightness, thinness and portability are extremely high
2. The requirements for screen quality are extremely high
3. High-net-worth people in brocade clothes and pants
The biggest feature of the Huawei MateBook X Pro is that it is light, and at the same time, it also ensures the strength and performance of the body, which is rare.
In terms of screen, the measured color gamut volume in native mode is 123.4%DCI-P3, the color gamut covers 100.0%DCI-P3, and the screen supports color gamut switching:
Taking DCI-P3 as a reference, the average ΔE was 1.09 and the maximum ΔE was 2.57.
Using sRGB as a reference, the average ΔE was 1.14 and the maximum ΔE was 2.23.
The maximum brightness of the screen is about 630nits, and the maximum local brightness is 1052nits under HDR.
The system brightness of 43% or more (about 95nits) is DC-like dimming, and below 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
This is the brightest OLED screen we have measured so far, with the highest dimming frequency, and it is undoubtedly a top-of-the-line OLED panel with a comfortable appearance.
In terms of interfaces, there are two Thunderbolt 4 on the left side of the fuselage (maximum 140W private protocol and 100W PD charging, support DP1.4 video output);
There is a USB-C 5Gbps port on the right side of the fuselage (up to 140W private protocol and 100W PD charging, supporting DP1.4 video output).
In terms of battery life, the test score of daily application simulation script is 5 hours and 40 minutes.
In terms of noise, it has a decibel level of 46.8dB at full load. (34.4dB ambient noise)
Huawei MateBook X ProThe starting price has come to 10999 yuan, and the starting configuration is U7/16GB/1TB, with white, black, and blue colors to choose from.
So if you want a benchmark ultra-thin and light notebook, then this computer is something to consider.
However, if you have high requirements for scalability, or need more powerful performance, then it is recommended that you forgo extreme portability in exchange for better expansion and performance.
【Heat Analysis】
The picture above is a real shot of the Huawei MateBook X Pro, a combination of dual fans and vapor chambers.
Room temperature 25 °C
Reflectance1.0
BIOS version: 1.09
For standard pressure processors, we use the Stress FPU for stress testing.
In the full load state, the high-energy mode is turned on, the CPU temperature is up to 101°C, stable at 85°C, the power consumption is 40W, the P-core frequency is 2.5~3.1GHz, the E-core frequency is 2.2~2.3GHz, and the LPE core frequency is 1.5GHz.
Swipe left to see the temperature on the back of the oven
Oven back temperature
The surface temperature is shown in the graph above, with keyboard keycaps up to 46.2°C on the "F6" key, 37.4°C for the WASD key, and 31.1°C for the arrow keys. The temperature of the left wrist rest is 30.8°C, and the center point of the back is 38.1°C.
Overall, the Huawei MateBook X Pro's thermal performance is decent, but if you put it in an ultra-thin and light notebook, then this heat dissipation belongs to the top of the top, because there is no product in its class that can guarantee that it is ultra-light and can have such a strong performance release.
【The Pig King's Conscience Conclusion】
The Huawei MateBook X Pro is a laptop that surprised me, mainly because of the following:
1. Performance release
Anyone can do volume performance, but < 1kg at the same time to achieve 40W performance release, currently this is the only one.
2. Screen quality
No need to talk nonsense, this is the best OLED screen we have tested so far.
3. Perimeter configuration
Anti-glare glass touchscreen, high-quality speakers, top-of-the-line pressure-sensitive touchpad, 140W ultra-fast charging.
Old fans know that the pen bar evaluation room will hold the "BLA Notebook Selection" conference at the end of each year, and this computer can undoubtedly join the [S-level Notebook of the Year] review and compete with other top products on the top of Huashan.
Of course, no matter how good a notebook is, it is not invincible, and the MateBook X Pro body shell is not resistant to dirt, and there are few interfaces, the battery life is relatively short, and this expensive price is also the reason for dissuading most people.
But I very much recognize this computer as a whole, and I can only say that it deserves to be Huawei, which can open my eyes every two years
