What features would make the perfect laptop for you?

“Just $1500” To a broke student such as myself, that price made me spit out my ramen.

Regarding battery life: "It's actually better than Dell's comparable XPS13 or the Touchbar Macbook Pro" So, uh, why was that listed as a complaint? Especially since those two laptops are considered to have some of the best battery life on the market?

This is a very impressive laptop and it offers great value. I am blown away by what Hauwei was able to pull off, especially given that they don’t have much history or experience in the PC/laptop space. They have really engineered the hang out of this thing. The fact that it runs Windows 10 Signature edition and the webcam is hidden in the keyboard (i.e. disabled), helps them overcome the privacy and security concerns that some paranoid countries have toward Huawei products.

Huawei is moving fast in the tech sector.

That webcam placement is smarttttt if you really needed a webcam just buy a dedicated one because built in ones I cover and think everyone should for safety reasons but the MateBook solves everything lol.

considering the bad trend of 2018, it should fix the cam on top with a notch xD

Really really good video, Dan! This laptop is probably the best I've used in this class too.

“Sees the camera” That’s it, I’m buying this!!

the logo on the back is a dealbreaker for me 🙂

I was looking for something like this! Can´t seem to find it in the Netherlands yet.

This is very useful, thank you Dan! Am buying this one today! Was on the fence due to the camera, but I’m thinking, for calls, will just prop it over some books to avoid a double chin view ! Your review helped to push me in the right direction.

A better title for this would be ‘the perfect ultrabook’, I think the perfect laptop would probably be something like the Razer Blade 15. Although having said that there are changes that could be made to both.

made my parents pick this up for me when they were in china as i knew it wouldnt come to Australia in the near future. Pretty much the perfect laptop. Battery life is around 9hrs on about 35% screen brightness and the power saving mode which imo is okay but not great. Maybe another usb c thunderbolt port would of been nice but i would take the usb a port over another usb c port anyday of the week. For those of you in america, i would definitely advise u to pick it up. Way better than my previous macbook air and it makes the macbook pro look like last century tech with the gorgeous display.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these

I hope you will update the review with the new version.

Awesome video! The laptop does look pretty great. For me the perfect laptop would have enough power to do thin and light with enough power to edit videos on the go, but enough battery to last around 8 hours with normal use. Also needs a great keyboard and trackpad, those are must haves.

Looks like a pretty slick laptop!

The pop-up camera idea is *smart* , just put it on top - think about it, a neat screen edge & no need to tape it for extra privacy.

love the webcam design, I don't use mine at all. Looks like this laptop is next on my to buy list

Yeah good laptop, the logo ruins it.

The XPS 13 that you tested has a 4K screen lol. Edit: The 1080p screen has 11 hours of battery life.

So one year ago you said it was a throwback to the bad old days of windows laptops.

Still loving my early 2017 HP Spectre x360 13.3. Flawless laptop all around.

Huawei is definitely making some great stuff, espically these past few years. Shame that their phones aren't easy to get in the US.

So right now in Germany you can‘t buy the version with the i7 and MX150, but the i5 version is 1099€ here. I think the price is very low for what you get, 1499€ as said in the video would be a bit too much, but for 1099€ its well priced.

My future laptop right there, I can’t believe the fact that Huawei has improved so much, from crappy and tiny phones to one of the market competitors today.

The deal-breaker for me is the position of the camera

Good points and presentation. Keep it this way. Thank u.

Yes it is a nice laptop but the fact that I'd have to import from it China to the UK makes me worry should it ever break and need to be repaired especially as it is not a cheap laptop

Any info if this is coming out in Australia? I would love to buy this.

Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK? :(

I would be happy if i can afford it..:(

When they put a period on the title, you Know they're serious.

Do you think this laptop will last for a while working decetly? Ty

im planning on buying this for my dad on his birthday !! do they have 2nd HDD installed in it? or just SSD ?

OMG dat music ...

this is what riles me up about modern tech journalists, they care more about how the lip opens than the fact that is has only one usb a and no sd card reader

flossy did a review on this a month ago and pretty much said the same thing. its his favorite laptop right now

Great review! Will it handle photoshop programs smooth? I know that it can handle it but i need it to be smooth with RAW images? Thanks🙋‍♂️

My TV has 98% screen to body ratio because it is so large with slim bezels. So having higher screen to body ratio than a smartphone isnt that hard and I feel like these channels try to come up with too many points in a video, too many points that isnt that thought out either.

Lot of macbook users in the comments..

*Brillant camera placement*

Hey, the Lenovo Yoga 920 laptop is only 1,300$ and can be used as a tablet(includes a bluetooth stylus) and has about 7 hours of battery life. The touch pad supports every gesture and the display is very bright and vibrant. The webcam is in the traditional position so the angle isn’t weird, and the speakers are surprisingly loud and clear. It only has a couple of ports ( not the best) but apart from that it’s an extremely light and portable work machine( has i7 gen 8 processor)

"Light Gaming" *Proceeds to play GTA V at 1080p medium on my laptop with an MX150*

Great review, Dan! Wow, the Huawei Mate book X Pro is getting lot more praise than I thought.

Great review! This 💻 looks nice and I like what they did with the camera, that’s cool idea!

Are laptops with cpu architecture level fix for the spectre / meltdown bugs coming out any time soon?

You can buy Lenovo Yoga 910 with the price of 900 USD and with even more battery life.

Apart from the obvious design "borrowing", the laptop looks beautiful!

My MacBook pro from 2014 just broke and so i'm looking for a new laptop, you guys might have just saved me.

I have an HP x360 since feb 2016. i7, 8 gb ram, 256 SSD, full HD touchscreen, huge track pad, convertible, good battery life. Got it refurbished for just $680 in the US. Still working really, really good. If I had to buy a new one now, I'll probably go for a similar one but with OLED display (and thinner edges, if possible).

>not a thinkpad

The 2-lane Thunderbolt port (max 20Gbps)is a dealbreaker for me.

Immediately subscribed to vergescience! Feelin' very excited about the contents! Kudos, team Verge!

We need more 3:2 aspect ratio Windows laptops, it is perfect and gives us more real estate at the same size vs 16:9. I brushed this laptop off until you guys mentioned the 3:2, now I am seriously considering getting one.

but CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?

Huawei doing this. Huawei doing that. America:Hold my beer!

Can you review the Dell Inspiron 14 7000 with mx150

When are you covering the new XPS 15?

MacBook Pro worth = 0 now

Loved the vid! Thank u!

Typing this from a MBXP...easily one of the best laptops I've ever had. My only gripe is that it runs a bit on the hot side, but everything else is top notch. Performance, sound, and screen are second to none. And for the price, I got it on student discount from Microsoft when the laptop first came out...there was NO competition. It's 2019 and a 2018 laptop is still the laptop of the year, in my opinion!

Why is the product link never in the description?

Some things to consider from an Amazon Reviewer after 1 week’s usage: Build Quality: After a few days of use, the laptop started to creak when I pick it up. I tried tightening the screws, but that didn't fix it. Very irritating. The USB C ports are also VERY tight. It feels like I'm going to break something when I remove the charging connector. Touchpad: It's a Precision touchpad, but it sure doesn't feel like it. It doesn't even compare to the Surface touchpads. Even the "click" is very cheap feeling. Not to mention, the touchpad rattles quite a bit. Not what I expected for a $1500 device. Coil Whine: Similar to the older Dell XPS 13, this unit has quite a bit of coil whine. It's amplified when plugged in. This is pretty unfortunate, but some people won't notice it. Fan Noise: It's pretty much always on. It's not obnoxious, but it's loud enough to hear it in a very quiet room. If the laptop isn't plugged in and is on power saver mode, the fans do quiet down. On (almost) every other laptop, the fan is actually connected to a metal heatsink. On this laptop, there's about 0.5cm of space between the fan and the heatsink. This is just bad design and incredibly inefficient. My own concern: What kind of tech support can you expect from Huawei in the U.S.? Not good I imagine. With all of these issues this is far from the best laptop. Cool, light design with tiny bezels on a 3:2 screen, I love that part, but coil whine, fan noise, bad trackpad, creaky body, etc. PLUS likely lousy support? No thanks.

'[...] Even the version of Windows 10 that's running on this is Microsoft Signature Edition, so there's no added bloatware [...]' *Camera shows Candy Crush, Photoshop Express, Fresh Paint, etc.*

Is is powerful enough for coding tasks? I am thinking on working with Visual Studio...

I want to get this but I'm worried about customer support in case sometimes goes wrong like 10 months or 2 years down the line. How has it been holding up, for everyone that has one?

Love this channel!

But can it play CRYSIS. NO!!!!!

Would this be able to handle external graphics cards through the thunderbolt port?

Can handle render and 3d softwares?

That's a funny way of spelling Pixelbook/MSI GT80

"The best laptop". No decent graphic card. Arround 1.300€. What?

Definitely planning on picking one of these up in the near future!

Amazed that this comes from Huawei. Love the 3:2 aspect ratio as well, should make life as a programmer way easier.

MateBook X Pro MacBook Pro *_Hmh......._*

Yah Huawei's is the best laptop It's have awesome feature

When did it become so cool to get rid of the number pad?

Hi, Thanks for the review. I have a question: Does this laptop is good for illustration, graphic design and sketching software? Does It can handle all this apps, a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 tablet and perform good enough as a MacBook Pro?

This is the best KZfaq channel!

"This is the best laptop." Plays the video... "This is not the best laptop." Disliked

The price was included in the specs sheet that popped up, but you said later that you hadn't gotten to the price yet. Slight oversight.

I was sold when you popped the webcam out of the keyboard. TAKE MY MONEY

Another deal breaker you forgot to mention: the Big Brother is watching!

Title: This is the Best Laptop. First Sentence: This is NOT the Perfect Laptop 💻

When will this be available in the UK?

Great video! I picked mine up 2 weeks ago and have loved every minute of it. Its a beautiful device inside and out.

if this was macbook pro, it will be definietly be perfect., lol

While a cheap and powerful laptop sounds peachy, I’m too far into Apple’s ecosystem to switch now.

What about support when you run into issues with your laptop?

How does it do for video/photo editing?

My dream laptop.

Nowhere near LG Gram 2018 even the price yet this channel boldly claims the best laptop. BIG fail the verge. A very big fail.

Wow. Love the laptop and the video. Thanks Verge.

How does it compare to the surface pro? Which would you buy?

"Best"" Laptop? What a joke, no such thing exist. All kinds of people want all kinds of different features in a laptop.

They even copied the name Matebook 😂 I mean it's a nice laptop but should be a more original..

how's the keyboard feel? is it mushy?

Where is the model of this Huawei? link of amazon at list?.
