In February this year, a well-known mobile giant introduced its new product – Huawei MateBook review. Being officially tablet with the additional plug-in keyboard, Matebook can safely claim to be the “mediator” between the tablet and a small laptop. Quite good technical characteristics, medium capacity battery, all necessary equipment, even it is not clear – where the pitfalls lie? Our Huawei MateBook review shows a strong hand and questionable innovations.
EQUIPMENT
What exactly can be said about the new product – the developers have tried to anticipate all the needs of its customers. Gadget and related test sample accessories are packed in two boxes in white, in the first – the tablet, keyboard, and stylus, in the second – a docking station with additional connectors and cover, in which a relatively comfortable fit as she and a stylus with adapters. The “basic” box you can also find all the necessary for the operation of cables and accessories.
APPEARANCE
The gadget is made in the shape of a rectangle with slightly rounded corners. The test sample is equipped with a magnetic keyboard cover. Unfortunately, the test kit on the keyboard has not been applied to Russian layout, which is somewhat difficult to use experience. In those sets that will go on sale in Russia, promised availability and Russian, and English at the same time marking.
When you first look at this tablet immediately apparent minimalism and austerity of design. In the horizontal orientation of the screen, exactly the front camera will be in the middle. The main camera in this device is useless to look for – it simply is not there. Also, there is no slot for SIM-card and memory card. Constructional explain such a decision can only be the fact that Mate claims to a greater extent on a laptop replacement, rather than the usual multimedia tablet.
Huawei MateBook review off button is located on the upper face of the device, if the device is oriented horizontally, the button will be just under the index finger. Also on the upper face of the microphone is located in the middle, and left and right – speakers.
On the bottom right is a universal connector USB Type-C, on the lower edge of the magnetic connector for the keyboard, and the top on the left side – connector for a headset or headphones.
MateBook is also equipped with a fingerprint scanner. Here, the designers and engineers pleasant surprise decision – the scanner is located exactly between the volume buttons. When you take the tablet in landscape orientation, thumb or forefinger of the right hand themselves fall into the notch.
ERGONOMICS
In tablet mode, Ergonomics device does not cause any complaints: pretty light for its size, comfortable, thoughtfully arranged buttons.
The keyboard is comfortable, though a bit unusual keystroke, nice texture, lighting and large comfortable touchpad.
But in “full build” mode, as once there are several unpleasant moments. Despite the beautiful promotional images, the tablet is almost impossible to keep on the lap. Magnets inside the keypad cover quite weak and constantly strive to destroy the entire structure. If you put on your knees and MateBook sloppy turn, there is a big chance that your gadget simply falls to the ground.
Docking station with additional connectors really gives you the opportunity to turn the tablet into a powerful and relatively comfortable working machine, of course, it is best to do at home or office. On the road, without the possibility to put the design on the table, plug in the docking station, full-scale conventional USB-Stick and copy a couple of files so that will be a little difficult.
A controversial point is the deprivation of the main camera of the gadget. Of course, in the era of powerful cameras in smartphones it is not necessary to have multiple devices with a camera, but it would be convenient for everyday use, its absence may discourage some buyers.
DISPLAY
Huawei MateBook review equipped with a 12-inch display with a resolution of 2160×1440 pixels, the resolution can be reduced if desired. In the process of testing, it was not noticed pixelation, clear and smooth picture. The sensor supports up to 10 touches.
The display of the gadget has excellent color reproduction and viewing angles. Even with a large slope image retains its proportions and shape, there is no color distortion. With such a screen can be absolutely comfortable to watch pictures, videos and presentations together, or even three, for example, showing something to a friend or colleague.
Adaptive backlight works fine, is almost instantaneous migration when moving from the street to the room and back. Screen Brightness a little lacking in the bright sun, but in the room to read the display and can run on the tablet without straining your eyes.
IRON
When looking at a very slim body tablet Huawei MateBook review is hard to believe that lies within anything like the powerful filling. MateBook equipped with energy-efficient dual-core processor m3-6Y30. Processor Cores running at a frequency of 900 MHz, the maximum possible acceleration when workloads increase of 1.51 GHz. Together with the processor device received graphic Intel HD Graphics 515. The downside adapter when such “stuffing” is passive cooling, which is at least nominally, and does its job, but any significant load plate heats up considerably.
The built-in graphics m3-6Y30 hardly be called an advanced, it is not enough for heavy 3D games. However, the play on medium settings in the most demanding not toys it is possible, as well as periproct familiar classics. Modern adapted for Windows Store mobile hits like “Tanks” are at the maximum setting without any difficulty.
SOFTWARE
The device Huawei MateBook review runs under Windows 10 running; in addition to the basic set of applications installed Autodesk SketchBook, helping to create drawings and MateTrans – to transfer data between devices.
Control the cursor, you can use the stylus to Mate Pen, fingers across the touchpad or with the help of a computer mouse connected separately. The great advantage of this device is the fact that Windows 10 Home – a complete operating system that is able to run as a “tablet” as well as full-length applications for desktop PCs.
MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION
The tablet Huawei MateBook review is equipped with only two speakers, but they are quite enough for comfortable viewing, and video, the sound is quite loud and clear. is a bit more complicated, high-frequency dynamics begin to slightly “ringing” From listening to music. If you do not put forward to listening to high standards, and the music is only needed for the background – that any claims should arise.
Wi-Fi module and Bluetooth operate flawlessly, the tablet quickly and find available networks without any problems, do not lose the signal during operation. As mentioned above, the device is not equipped with a slot for a SIM-card, because working with the internet is only possible from an external point.
BATTERY
Battery and battery life – perhaps the weakest point of this device. Even in sleep mode, the battery is discharged evenly, about 20-25% for every 8 hours of downtime. When viewing the film unit is enough for about five hours, but heavy 3D games and applications can defuse the tablet just three.
MATEPEN
One of the nice additions to the tablet Huawei MateBook review is a multi-function pen MatePen. It could easily be used instead of the mouse, the program SketchBook it serves as a pencil, brush, and even a fountain pen eraser. Pen recognizes up to 2048 gradations pressing, according to the manufacturer, pen work is enough for 100 hours of work. During the time of testing the tablet MatePen not discharged once. Also, the pen can be used as a laser pointer.
TO SUMMARIZE
Huawei MateBook review survey showed that this model is a good one for the tablet-transformer. Tablet users can please a good performance, but there is in it, and a sufficient number of disadvantages. The most significant negative point is the short battery life under heavy loads. Purchase this new product is better at once with all possible additions or lost a pretty big part of the functionality.
