Meet the 2019 Huawei MateBook X Pro
The MateBook's main attraction is its 13.9-inch, 3,000-by-2,000-pixel touch screen, which is one of the half-dozen brightest we've seen on any laptop.
A Look at the Lid
Huawei's seashell logo has disappeared from the Space Gray aluminum lid, but the X Pro is still as handsome as it is easy to carry, at 2.93 pounds.
Overhead View: That's Some Trim Bezels
There's very little wasted space around either the display or the keyboard. In fact, I could wish for a larger top bezel to accommodate a conventional webcam.
It's Not Just a Power Button
The combination power button and fingerprint reader lets you switch on the laptop and sign into Windows 10 Pro with one touch.
A Keyboard Framed by Speakers
Twin speakers flank the keyboard, which offers nicely large Shift, Enter, and Backspace keys and a shallow but lively typing feel.
A Touchpad in Size XL
If you're still doubting the MateBook's Apple MacBook Pro inspiration, check out the plus-size, nicely tactile touchpad.
The MateBook's Left Ports...
On the laptop's left side, you'll find an audio jack, a USB Type-C port (used with the compact AC adapter), and a Thunderbolt 3 port.
...and the Ones on the Right
The only opening on the Huawei's right side is a USB Type-A port. You'll need an adapter or a dongle for an external monitor.
An Endurance Expert
No burden in a briefcase, the X Pro won't wilt when taken away from an AC outlet. It lasted more than 13 hours in our battery rundown test.
