Huawei has a rapidly developing setup of PCs that range its own image just as its sister image Honor. Covering sizes from 13 to 16 inches, the majority of those PCs have 16:9 screens except for the 3:2 viewpoint MateBook X and X Pro, and the star of this survey – the MateBook 14 2020 AMD.
1. Design, quality and I/O
The Huawei MateBook d 14 2020 is a tasteful looking device. It’s slight and light and doesn’t occupy a lot of room when shut and gotten into a sack. It weighs simply 1.49kg, however the weight isn’t equally dispersed – the PC is recognizably back hefty. Of course that is something you’ll see just while conveying the machine open, which will infrequently be the situation.
Huawei has sand-shot the surface for a smooth finish.
There is a decent choice of ports, particularly given the PC’s slender casing (15.9mm when shut). On the left side there is a USB-C port that upholds 65W charging, a 3.5mm earphone and receiver combo jack and a HDMI port. Not too far off are two full-sized USB-A ports with help for USB 3.2.
2. Display and sound
Talking about the showcase, it’s a 14-inch 2160x1440px IPS LCD touchscreen with a 3:2 viewpoint proportion. That last bit is especially significant since a more squarish screen of a similar slanting has more surface than a more extensive one.
Basically the MateBook 14 2020 has a greater screen than pretty much any other 14-incher out there. It is around 8% bigger than a 14-inch 16:9 screen and simply 15% more modest than a 15.6-inch 16:9 screen, despite the fact that the distinction in diagonals would lead you to expect 24% more surface region on the 15.6″ one.
The presentation is of the lustrous assortment, required by the touchscreen usefulness. A matte screen would adapt better in conditions with brilliant light sources (overhead lights, the sun, and so forth), while the polished board of the MateBook 14 2020 mirrors a ton of its environmental elements. Anyway the gleaming completion adds more punchiness so in the event that you principally use it inside this may be a benefit.
Sound
On the Huawei MateBook 14 2020 there are two speakers. They’re each evaluated at 2 watts, which is about normal for PC speakers nowadays. They’re set either side of the trackpad and fire downwards.
The speakers sound all around ok – they get noisy and offer satisfactory bass. However, they get stifled on a lap, so you would do well to keep the PC on a table or a work area for a superior encounter.
3. Console and touchpad
We’ve seen a couple of Huawei consoles at the workplace as of now and the one on the MateBook 14 2020 is by a long shot the best. It’s fully estimated and uses the whole width of the machine. On account of the more squarish part of the screen there’s more space for your palms under the console than there is on the 14-inch Honor MagicBook 14.
The design of the MateBook’s console is equivalent to on that amazing MagicBook 14, yet the keys have somewhat more travel and are more steady
Keypad Camera
The Fn button is lockable and as a matter of course squeezing F1 and F2 will change the screen splendor. The 720p camera is covered up under a bogus catch in the focal point of the F column.
Power button
The force button is additionally a unique mark peruser and it upholds memory storing, implying that you can squeeze it while the PC is off and it will boot up and afterward log you into Windows without you expecting to enter your finger impression once more.
Touch pad
The touchpad is multi-contact with help for Windows exactness drivers and functions admirably. The surface is plastic, rather than glass, which may put off certain clients, yet we discovered it completely fine. The touchpad itself is probably pretty much as extensive as could be fitted into the space under the console.
4. Software
Huawei has a perfect way to deal with programming on its workstations. You get Windows 10 Home pre-installed alongside AMD Software, AMD Radeon Software, Nahimic programming for the speakers and Huawei’s own PC Manager application.
5. Battery life
The Huawei MateBook 14 2020 comes with a 56Wh battery and 65W charger in the container with an impressive 10 hours battery life. In our testing the machine procured 60% charge in 1 hour and was totally invigorated in 90 minutes, a bit speedier than the 16-inch MagicBook Pro’s 100 minutes.
