@@crazycdn8327 As an Apple fan, while I agree that most of their products are overpriced because of the name ESPECIALLY the MacBook Pro ($2k-$4k for a $1k laptop is stupid) but the premium build quality, design and experience of most of their products somewhat justifies the price of some of their products. My MacBook Pro 13in is a powerhouse and ever since I used the trackpad, I cant use any other laptop's trackpad. The Apple watch is undeniably the best on the market. The new iPad Pro/Pencil combo overall beats anything on the market. Samsung has either beat or tied Apple when it comes to their phones and wireless earbuds but you shouldn't be surprised why a lot of people like Apple. They certainly arent perfect but when they do things right, it shows.

An alternative to the Macbook is gonna (hopefully) create the same impact that Ryzen had with intel. Competition is good for the industry and the consumer always wins. I just hope Apple doesn't get stupid and sues Huawei for patent infringement or whatever because of how much of a resemblence the Matebook X Pro has to the Macbook. I'd definetly consider this laptop over Apple's ultrabook offering simply on the keyboard alone... touch screen is an added bonus! =3 Impeccable review, keep at it.

Evan, for the price of a macbook pro 13" you can pick up a laptop with an 8th gen i7 and a GTX 1060 which will be over twice as fast at everything. It is extremely true.. and very sad that people would pay over $1300 for hardware that should cost under $600 for what build quality? they solder on ssds and ram.. they glue in the battery everything about it is designed to throw up all over itself if the track pad fails name any other major laptop that will not power on if the pointing device fails... Here's a little example of "thinking differently" here's how the keyboard gets from the keys to being usable.. it goes.. keyboard -> logic board -> track pad board -> logic board as usable Noticing perhaps something a tiny bit odd about that?

Jack Wang they have a lot of reasons to spy on Americans. But unless you're a US official spying isn't as a big of deal, lots of companies do it to a degree. BUT the are other problems with buying from Chinese companies, first these companies engage in ALOT of IP theft. Yeah, lots of companies copy designs and stuff, but these companies do it on a whole new level, they straight up hack into companies servers and steal designs, and it's state sponsored, so the Chinese government does it as well. Did you know that many companies have to even hand over their IP to the china Just to do business there? but the biggest reason not to buy these devices is to not support the Chinese government which hates us, the West(US, Europe, ect) these companies operate as an arm of their government to make money, steal IP, and get stronger. And if you ask what's wrong with supporting the Chinese government? They kill and imprison their own people for saying something bad about their president..

I bought a 2011 MBP in 2015 for $350, added memory and SSD, thought a great deal, but then it burnt my lap, so sold it. I bought a late 2015 iMac 27 inch with 32GB memory at $1180, thought it was a great deal until I discover the 1TB mechanical drive cannot be upgraded to an SSD without potentially breaking the machine into a pile of garbage. I think OS X is by far the best OS giving you both the Unix core and a beautiful UI, but at this point, I cannot buy more Apple hardware, it's just purely insane how they sell them as fashion accessories rather than tools to get jobs done.

I have played with this laptop at the Microsoft store. I love it, except for one thing, which is that I love the reliability of Mac OS and I love the Apple ecosystem. I have owned four Windows 10 machines and sold them all in the past three years. After a brief honeymoon, longer with the Surface Pro, I have gone back to Mac OS. If I was interested in a Windows machine the only one I would consider would be the 15-inch Matebook X Pro.

I bought Final Cut X became I was sick if using Premier on a I7 GZ 16 GB 6th generation Samsung Flip as well as 2017 Surface Pro with similar, updated specs. Final Cut is wonderful. I had not used it after I stopped editing with version 6.

Many times the crashes are caused by extensions but some like chameleon, which allows me to download KZfaq videos is central to my workflow so I put up with the issues.

Question for you: can you read? I am talking about prices in the EU and equally speced machines. So once again, camera on the top is objectively better, giving a more natural look. Regarding the specs and prices: Matebook X Pro i5-8250U, 8GB RAM, 256GB - 1500 EURO - Geekbench score about 12,000 MacBook Pro i5-8259U, 8GB RAM, 256GB - i.e. version with 4 TB3 ports - 2000 EURO - Geekbench score about 16,000 So, if you want to continue, please provide some real numbers / evidence because your performance claims and prices are wrong.

i know the point you are trying to make, BUT when combined with the fact that the Matebook looks alot like the Macbook, than the name scheme does imply it based off the mac's name I don't even like Macs. But Macbook is a play on notebook using the name for their desktop pc's. Pluse, "mate" book? that's essentially calling it a friendbook. or even dumber your spousebook. and that's not their company name or the name of product lines prior (is it, I could be wrong, do they generally have mate products). if they called it a Huaweibook than I'd see no issue with that. when reviews for the product are essentially titled "Huawei MateBook X Pro is a MacBook Pro copy that's better than the original" and the first paragraphic is "Huawei has finally done it. With the MateBook X Pro, the company has created a laptop that's a shameless copy of Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro, but that's easy to forgive because it's just so damn good. It's better than the original in numerous ways, and lags behind only when it comes to certain details. " you know damn well what was Huawei was doing. Any company other than Chinese company would never get away with that

If he likes it, that’s great. But I’d rather have the 2018 13” MacBook Pro with the 8th gen 4C/8T CPUs. macOS is a better OS than Windows 10 and that is easily worth the price premium.....well that and all the aspects of the Mac that it does better than this other machine. For those wanting specifics, think of the “Cadillac features” if you will; The better speakers, the software integration with other Apple products, the premium software with a no BS pricing model, the nicer trackpad, being able to be asked if you want to consent to an OS update. Those are just a few examples. Being able to run multiple OS environments on the same machine is also incredibly useful and convenient.
