After a great outing with the Matebook X Pro, let's take on the more affordable follow up. With a few of the key specifications the same, will the compromises bog down a worthy Macbook competitor? We'll find out as we answer the question: Who is the Huawei Matebook 13 for?

No, it's MacOS and a amazing trackpad that none of the Windows laptop offers. I've tried my friends Macbook Air, yes, the ancient 2010 one and the trackpad on there was god like compared to my ASUS FX503 with precision drivers. Personally wouldn't mind getting one of those just for a laptop tbh. I used to be a hater and now, I am not.

"once again we see the disadvantage of having only 8gb of ram" The reason why gaming isn't ideal on this laptop isn't the amount of memory, it's because of the GPU. You certainly can get a very enjoyable gaming experience with 8GB of ram.

@@michaeldyer6378 sure that's a good example of why 8gb is really pushing the limit, but in the context of the video he states that 8gb is not enough for gaming, which is false.

The only reason I'm considering this thing is because it is one of very few 3:2 laptops. And I don't get why. I despise the general macbookish design, but there just are no other options. You have the Matebooks, the Acer chromebook, or the surface laptop, which has the stupid materials and and impossible to ever replace battery (can't even upgrade the SSD). Especially that every single one of the 3:2 has soldered RAM (one of them even soldered SSD and battery) is just ridiculous.

This isn't a follow-up to the X Pro - this is the Macbook Air to the Macbook Pro. There will be an updated X Pro soon enough with updated specs to further differentiate from the MB13 and justify the higher price. I paid USD$1200 for my i7 Matebook X Pro ($1575 Canadian) with the education discounts in July 2018. Current pricing is $1300 USD for the i7. Worth the price bump over the MB13 for the larger (and better) screen, 2x ram, better speakers etc. People who buy this aren't 'Mac haters'. I ditched my dead (logic board) Macbook Pro 15" and bought the Matebook X Pro to replace it. The comparable Macbook Pro is $1000 more than the Matebook X Pro. We buy it to save money. You can run Windows perfectly on the Macbook and it's a great experience. But it's not $1000 better hardware.

It's useless for business purposes (finance professionals). Because key travel is small, the touchpad is too big which is bad for fast typing, mistyping.

@Garfie1d73 5 жыл бұрын

I strongly disagree. Key travel isn't too small. Even more important is the satisfying "click" - the feedback. And that's working great. For typing I use the keys and not the touchpad ... and people who really know how to type with 10 fingers don't rest their palms on the touchpad. That's hindering typing speed.
