At the beginning of 2020, I chose the Huawei MateBook 14 2020 model when I replaced my notebook. In the more than four years since then, it has become my productivity tool. At the same time, in the past few years, the domestic PC market has experienced rounds of reshuffles. Huawei has entered the PC market not long ago and now has become a leading brand, forming X series, digital series, D series, The E series has a complete PC product line layout and has created a series of unique PC moat technologies, winning the favor of business, students, office and other people.
On May 15th, Huawei officially released the new MateBook 14 product. From the perspective of an old user, I will take you to see how this product is. After years of PC products, what does Huawei have to offer? progress.
In the current era of mobile office, many people will consider its design when choosing a PC. On the one hand, it must look good, and on the other hand, it must be thin and light. At present, Huawei’s C-end PC products have formed a unified style. They all use a larger “HUAWEI” logo on the A side, while commercial products use a chrysanthemum logo. Compared with the small “HUAWEI” logo in earlier years, they are more recognizable. , also represents stronger product confidence.
In terms of design, the new Huawei MateBook 14 continues the four-sided micro-frame design, with a screen-to-body ratio of 91% and a very strong visual aesthetic. Although the micro-velvet metal from the X Pro series isn’t used, Huawei continues to innovate boldly with color matching. The new wilderness green is a more restrained shade. It’s not as flamboyant as the green on Nova products, nor as cool as the cold green from previous models. This color represents a new direction.
Another point that impressed me is that the previous MateBook 14 2020 model required both hands to open and close. Now, you can open and close the new model with one hand. However, digital series products have already achieved one-hand opening and closing, and the damping feeling is very smooth. , which will be better in daily experience.
At the same time, the C side of the new MateBook 14 also has a new design, using a new unbounded integrated keyboard, which eliminates the borders of the keyboard area and has stronger integration.
In terms of interfaces, compared with the MateBook 14 2020 model I am using, the number and interface types are the same, 2 USB-A, 1 USB-C, 1 3.5mm headphone microphone interface, and 1 HDMI interface. In my case, During the time of use, I found that it would be better to add a USB-C port to facilitate more operations when connecting an external monitor.
The screen of the new MateBook 14 has undoubtedly received a bigger upgrade, with 2.8K high resolution, OLED material, 120Hz high refresh rate, 100% sRGB, 100% P3, 95% Adobe RGB and other color gamuts, 450 nits High brightness, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, etc. make it the top of the current digital series products. Moreover, although Huawei PCs have always supported touch screens before, they have not been more linked with stylus pens. This time the product also supports the HUAWEI M-Pencil set (third generation), which can achieve efficient and convenient annotation, The marking function can be said to open up a new PC office experience.
The new Huawei MateBook 14 weighs just 1.31kg and is 14.6mm thick. It’s lightweight compared to other digital products. However, it’s still not as thin and light as the MateBook X Pro, leaving room for future updates. Despite this, the overall body is thinner and lighter without sacrificing battery life or performance. The battery capacity has increased from 56Wh to 70Wh, improving battery life. Additionally, Huawei introduced reverse super-fast charging, allowing you to charge phones up to 40W, making it a handy power bank while traveling. Note that this function requires a double-C port cable to activate through the USB-C port.
In terms of performance, the new Huawei MateBook 14 uses Intel Core Ultra series processors. There are two options, Ultra5 and Ultra7, which can achieve up to 40W TDP performance release. Unfortunately, the Ultra9 series processors are not equipped, which is very difficult. It may be exclusive to MateBook X Pro, or it may be launched on subsequent MateBook 16s products. Of course, based on the NPU integrated in the Ultra series processor, it can run AI applications more efficiently locally. The new MateBook 14’s AI performance is also on par with the MateBook X Pro.
Huawei PCs have improved their AI capabilities, such as smart eyes, AI sound effects, smart voice, AI subtitles, and smart search. With AI support, these features are now better. Additionally, the decentralization of flagship capabilities brings AI outline and AI space functions based on the Pangu large model. The AI summary function quickly extracts key information from large audio files. This makes content more streamlined, allowing for greater efficiency in both office and study scenarios.
The role of the AI ​​space is to bring together many of the country’s leading large-scale models. You can use Baidu Wenxinyiyan, iFlytek Spark, and Zhipu Qingyan directly. These tools cover various scenarios, including office work, study, creation, and software development. They serve as an efficient base for office workers.
In addition, the new Huawei MateBook 14 has also cooperated with Wondershare Filmora and WPS through AI capabilities to bring deeper capabilities. Take WPS AI as an example. It can provide intelligent typesetting of text, dialogue operation forms, and the ability to convert brain maps into PPT. It serves as an essential tool for workers. With AI empowerment, it has significantly improved work efficiency.

As a Huawei product in the mainstream PC price range, the new MateBook 14 has brought improvements in many aspects. As an old user of the 2020 model, this new notebook feels brand new. Yet, it still carries the genes and heritage of the MateBook digital series. Under the current AI landscape, Huawei has expanded its capabilities starting with the MateBook. I believe that the launch of the new Huawei MateBook 14 will further enhance Huawei’s position in the PC market.
