The backlit keyboard remains identical to the unit that featured in the previous MateBook X Pro. Like the MateBook’s overall composition, both keyboard and trackpad design are well thought out, making for some of the best additions I’ve used. The pop-up webcam is located in the keyboard.Fingerprint scanner sees inconsistent results.Keyboard is very comfortable to type on.The MateBook X Pro lacks an SD card slot, however the addition of one would have really completed the package. While I’d have preferred a greater number of USB-C ports, including that older USB-A port helps productivity and removes the constant need for dongles and adapters.
Huawei impresses with the port selection, too, pairing two USB-C ports (both of which can be used for charging and one packing Thunderbolt 3 support) with a single traditional USB 3.0 port and 3.5mm headphone jack.
Still, weighing 1.3kg and packing dimensions smaller than Apple’s latest 13-inch laptop, the MateBook X Pro 2020 is still a machine that will easily slide into your bag without adding too much extra bulk. It also doesn’t try to be as small as the XPS 13, deciding instead to offer a squarer, larger display. Huawei has the MacBook Pro series in its sights in terms of looks, more so than the Dell XPS 13 with its carbon-fibre interior. From its heavily chamfered edges that glisten in the light to the large, responsive trackpad, it feels as though every inch of this laptop has been well thought out and refined. In its main Emerald Green hue, the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2020 is a gorgeous laptop it’s easily one the best-looking devices around right now. Great port selection, although lacks SD card slot.Weighs just 1.3kg, making it very portable.Available in a stunning Emerald Green colour.One of the best looking laptops you’ll find.
The i7 version with the 1TB reviewed here costs £1699, while an i5 version with half that storage will set you back £1399. Stiff competition comes from the new MacBook Pro 2020 and the excellent Dell XPS 13, but the MateBook X Pro 2020 can more than stand up to those rivals. It comes with either an i5 or i7 10th-gen chipset, 16GB of RAM and a glorious design headlined by a fantastic display. The MateBook X Pro 2020 is a true flagship laptop. Huawei has been making excellent Windows 10 laptops for a few years now and the MateBook X Pro 2020 might just be the best yet – even if it doesn’t offer too many upgrades over the outgoing model
