Huawei MateBook 14 has it all: a powerful CPU, a slim and elegant chassis, a premium build and most of all, an excelent price.

I have the Ryzen 7 with 16GB ram and after using PC's for work since they were invented this one is by far the best in build quality, speed, display and battery life.

@Tanjiro Kamado it doesn't have a dedicated gpu, but the integrated vega graphics can run most games on 1080p low at 40 fps. Heavy graphics games will need to be run in 720p to stay above 30 fps. So yeah it can do light and average gaming, but this laptop is not a gaming laptop, it's for work or studies.

@_digital_king_ 3 жыл бұрын

I am currently using it and it is weak, fo Ae. Rendering 5 seconds logo intro in more rhan 2 minutes. I guess this is because of the lack of GPU. I will return it. In premiere pro when adding one effectt like blur for example the rendering time is huge. The screen has backlight bleeding too and one of the fans makes rattling noise. If you happen to get good copy of the laptop it is ok excelent fot Internet and office but not for Adobe in my opinion.
