Faced with the new product of Huawei Matebook X Pro, I thought about it for a long time. I don’t know how to start this title. However, when some memory clips flashed back, I suddenly remembered a word Liu Zuohu once used to describe a Canadian mobile phone—’sunset thug.’ I believe this term doesn’t suit the MateBook X Pro at all; instead, it should be called the PC version of suit thugs.
“Suit” is easy to understand. Wentong, Matebook X Pro has always given people a sense of light, beauty, and elegance, attracting the love of many consumers, but in the past, it was not a “thug”. In addition to becoming thinner, this generation of products uses the Intel Ultra series processor to achieve 40W performance release, but it becomes more “irritable”. In addition, the product also introduced a large AI model, which forms a complete body’s smart PC, which undoubtedly increases the upper limit of the experience for light and light this user.
Not much nonsense, look at the product directly.
980g, a little fake
As an old user of Huawei’s notebook, I have been using the old models of Matebook 14, which is a good choice when a migrant worker chooses a thin book. However, for users with more ultimate demand, X Pro is a better choice, thinner, more fashionable, and smarter. In this generation of products, the X Pro series has undergone a qualitative change, making it an eye-catching option. Bright.
When I got this book for the first time, I felt that the weight was a bit too light, so I didn’t have any expectations for other configurations. This time, the weight of the MateBook X Pro is only 980g and the thickness is 13.5mm. It is one of the few 14-inch light and light books that weigh less than 1kg. Maybe many people have no concept of 980G. The weight of the traditional light and thin products is about 1.2kg. The M3 13-inch MacBook Air costs 1.26kg. The weighing MateBook X, which was once light to the extreme, also cost 1.05kg. In contrast, it shows the lightness of this generation of products.
To maximize the weight, Huawei made several changes. The screen uses a flexible OLED display, cutting its weight by 51%. The fan uses a diamond aluminum design, reducing weight by 36%. Additionally, the shaft, speaker, keyboard, PCB motherboards, and battery were all redesigned with lighter materials. These changes brought the weight of the entire device to 980g. If you have high demands for lightness, the MateBook X Pro will impress you.
Light and Thin, Yet Powerful: 40W Performance Beyond Expectations
Thin and light products have clear advantages, but they also have obvious drawbacks, especially when it comes to performance. In the past, thin and light devices were limited to releasing around 15W-28W of power, which struggled in heavy-duty scenarios. For example, the previous MateBook X Pro reached 30W in high-energy mode.
The new Huawei MateBook X Pro uses the self-developed Yunya architecture. It balances lightweight design and performance through innovative materials and structures. The MateBook X Pro is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra9 high-performance processor. It features Intel 4 advanced process technology, which increases the transistor density compared to the previous Intel 7 generation. The processor includes 16 cores and 22 threads, while the graphics card has been upgraded to the ARC Ruixuan. The TDP 40W performance can be described as a small steel cannon in the current light and thin category.
Achieving 40W performance in such a lightweight device requires strong heat dissipation support. Huawei MateBook X Pro overcomes this challenge with a cloud architecture, which increases the fan area by 22%. It uses diamond aluminum to ensure stability and durability. Additionally, the new Huawei shark fin heat dissipation system provides better cooling. The three-dimensional outlet design increases heat dissipation paths. The dual shark fin fans are stronger, while intelligent temperature control and the high-performance VC heat dissipation module greatly improve the overall cooling. As a result, the device can fully release its performance.
软件层面,全新升级的Super Turbo技术,能够判断CPU、GPU、内存等运行状态,智能感知不同应用使用场景、卡顿场景、前后台状态,并适时引入对应的优化策略,从而实现疾速开机、 Software opens, accelerate operation, etc., making the overall experience better. Especially in terms of running acceleration, both video rendering and video editing export speeds have been significantly improved compared to the previous generation.
The battery capacity of the MateBook X Pro has increased to 70Wh. It now supports three charging protocols: PD, UFCS, and SCP. This feature allows the laptop to charge Huawei mobile phones, tablets, and other devices super-fast. The charger has a power output of 140W. In just 10 minutes of charging, you can use it for 3 hours of office work. Despite its high power, the charger is compact, weighing only 205g, which makes it convenient for business trips.
Duanyun collaborative, creating the strongest AIPC
AI is undoubtedly the current trend. Manufacturers now focus not only on AI mobile phones but also on AI-powered PCs (AIPC). Recent examples include Lenovo and the Glory MagicBook Pro 16, both promoted as AIPCs. The competition is becoming increasingly intense. With the release of the Huawei MateBook X Pro, Huawei adds another player to the AIPC ranks. Huawei benefits from its technical expertise in AI and its full-stack AI system. This unique advantage gives it an edge in the competitive market.
This time, the Huawei MateBook X Pro introduces the AI space function, becoming a one-stop aggregation entrance for PC AI capabilities. In this AI space, Huawei has brought leading AI models, such as Baidu Wenxin, HKUST News Flying Star Fire, and Wisdom Spectrum. It also offers 100 AI models covering various scenarios, including office work, study, creation, and software development.
Additionally, Huawei’s self-developed Pangu big model now supports AI summarization. It can summarize sentences, keywords, and full texts. Whether it’s a video, recording, or other content, the AI can create summaries. This makes it extremely convenient.
Huawei has further enhanced its AI capabilities with smart wisdom, AI sound effects, smart voice, and smart search. These improvements elevate the overall experience. While mobile phones are designed for AI-driven smart life and learning user habits, PCs focus on the in-depth use of large models, boosting productivity and efficiency in office and learning environments.
Nowadays, as AI space is carried on the MateBook X Pro series products, Huawei PC will also usher in a round of AI popular storm. In subsequent digital columns and D series products, AI space is expected to popularize, and more and more then will become more and more. Users can also experience the convenience brought by the AI model on Huawei PC.
At the end
As the flagship product in Huawei’s PC line, the Huawei MateBook X Pro’s upgrade marks a breakthrough in the company’s entry into the PC market. This progress is backed by significant research and development investment. The 980g weight has made the MateBook X Pro a leader among light and thin laptops. It maintains strong performance and battery life while achieving breakthroughs, thanks to advancements in technology. Users now enjoy both ultra-thin design and powerful performance.
Additionally, as the first Huawei PC equipped with AI space, the MateBook X Pro offers enhanced productivity. It uses Huawei’s self-developed ancient model, along with AI from industry leaders, to optimize performance. This allows users to experience AI in depth and make full use of its capabilities.
The launch of the MateBook X Pro is expected to boost Huawei’s PC market share, particularly in the high-end market. Huawei continues to push boundaries, from the Mate and P series smartphones to the X Pro series PCs. With its strong return to the consumer market, competition will intensify, benefiting consumers and advancing the market.
