Huawei has announced a new ultrabook in its homeland, the MateBook X Pro 2024. This device was announced in China, though it will likely be coming to way more markets. That was the case with its predecessors, at least.
This is the most powerful laptop Huawei will announce this year. The Matebook X Pro series is the company’s top-end lineup. This laptop has a sizzling price tag, but it also has a lot to offer.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 is lighter than basically all of its direct competitors
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 weighs only 980 grams (2.16lbs). It is 30% lighter than last year’s model, and that one was quite light. On top of that, the laptop is very thin at only 13.5mm when folded. Huawei’s CEO actually said that the device is “lighter than light”.
This laptop has a 14.2-inch display and weighs 980 grams (2.16lbs). For comparison’s sake, the Apple MacBook Pro has a 14.2-inch display too, and weighs 1.55kg (3.4lbs) to 1.62kg (3.6lbs), depending on the model. Huawei’s new ultrabook is even lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air which weighs 1.24kg (2.7lbs).
Despite its lightweight and thin design, this ultrabook has a lot to offer. The new Intel Ultra 9 (185H) chip is included, and it’s 60% faster than the Core i7 (1360P) that was included in the previous model.
Its top-end configuration includes the Intel Ultra 9 SoC
Do note that the Intel Ultra 9 chip is included in the top-end model, the more affordable variant comes with the Intel Ultra 7 (155H) chip, which is also quite powerful. Both 16GB RAM and 32GB RAM models are available, and the storage goes from 1 to 2TB, depending on the model.
A 14.2-inch 3120 x 2080 display is included, and it supports touch input up to 10 fingers. It is an OLED display with 120Hz support, and its brightness goes up to 1,000 nits, which is outstanding for a laptop.
140W charging is also supported here, and it goes through a USB-C port
A truly gigantic trackpad is included, and a 70Wh Li-Po battery. The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 also supports 140W fast charging. Needless to say, that will get it up and running in no time. You’ll be charging it via a USB-C port.
There are two Thunderbolt 4 ports included as well, while Wi-Fi 6 (ax) and Bluetooth 5.3 are supported. There are four microphones here, and 6 speakers.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 comes in Inkstone Black, White, and Clear Blue Snow colors. Its pricing starts at CNY11,000 ($1,520), and goes up to CNY15,000 ($2,073) for the top-end model.
As mentioned already, the device will likely be making its way to more markets in the near future.
