The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro has made its debut in South Africa, giving the local consumer a laptop that brings together innovative technology, aesthetic design, and a smart experience to ensure superior performance packed in a super sleek body. Slimmed down to 13.5mm[1], it represents a new standard in lightweight laptops weighing under 1kg. A mere 980g[2], the laptop is equipped with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9[3] processor and features a powerful 40W Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating.
Aesthetic design and superior portability at a glance
The new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro weighs just 980g[2] and has been slimmed down to a staggering 13.5mm[1]. This is the first laptop to feature a four-axis CNC on both sides, forming a graceful slope with a subtle gradient curvature called the Skyline Design. This accentuates the laptop’s smooth feel and refined look.
The laptop’s trend-setting silky-smooth metallic body is easy on both the hands and the eye. Its coating is highly scratch-resistant, and stains can be wiped off with ease. Available in Morandi Blue and White colour schemes, this palette complements the metallic body, providing a fusion of oriental aesthetics and minimalist elegance.
A new standard in laptops weighing under 1kg
Laptops with state-of-the-art processors usually weigh more than the MateBook X Pro, which, despite being equipped with a next-generation Intel® Core™ Ultra 93 processor, weighs just 980g[2] and is only 13.5mm1 thick. This represents a new standard in laptops weighing under 1kg.
Additionally, the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro strikes a balance between performance and portability with the innovative HUAWEI Cloud Falcon Architecture. An intricate internal design that extends from the PCB to each of its individual components. The modular PCB takes up less space and enables larger fans, batteries, and speakers to be accommodated within its slim design. The laptop features superior performance in heat dissipation, audio experience, and battery life.
Innovative technologies enable superior performance
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro features the all-new Intel® Core™ Ultra 9[3] processor, offering up to 40W TDP.
Its dedicated HUAWEI Shark Fin heat dissipation system features an innovative 3D air intake and exhaust design, ensuring airflow from all sides. Holes are opened on the backlight plate of the keyboard to allow cool air to flow into the device from the keypad. This significantly reduces the temperature of the keyboard.
The more space-efficient HUAWEI Cloud Falcon Architecture allows for larger fans and HUAWEI has applied AI to its fan blade design and introduced streamlined pressurised fan blades. The intelligent AI temperature control algorithm used has undergone rigorous learning to ensure ultimate resource optimisation. In addition, the laptop’s ultra-thin Vapor Chamber (VC) heat dissipation module further enables superior heat dissipation.
The popular HUAWEI-developed Super Turbo[4] technology has also received an upgrade to support dynamic software acceleration during intensive tasks, in addition to intelligent resource scheduling, seamless power-on, and second-level software startup. Adobe Premiere Pro 4K video rendering is 1.69x faster, Filmora 4K video export is 2.18x faster, and VSCODE compilation is 1.27x faster on the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro than on the previous generation.
The new laptop’s battery capacity has been upgraded to 70Wh from the previous generation’s 60Wh, enabling a staggering 11 hours of local video playback. Using 90W SuperCharge Turbo mode, you can work on office tasks for 2 hours after just 10 minutes of charging[5].
New breakthroughs in display
Since the launch of the HUAWEI MateBook Series, the 3:2 productivity screen has won wide acclaim from consumers worldwide for its high screen-to-body ratio. The new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro has a 14.2-inch 3:2 flexible OLED screen and a screen-to-body ratio of up to 93%[6], offering a wider range of view, and a more immersive viewer experience.
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro comes standard with HUAWEI X-True™ Display. 3.1K (3120 x 2080) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate[7] that ensures a crystal-clear display. Moreover, the colour display of each HUAWEI MateBook X Pro screen has been calibrated before delivery. The meticulous colour accuracy of ∆E < 1[8] is achieved in Adobe RGB, sRGB, and P3 colour ranges, which enables accurate colour displays at all times. The laptop’s 1000-nit[9] peak brightness and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio provide true-to-life brightness contrasts. A paper-like viewing experience that’s easy on the eyes is enabled by the screen’s smart colour adjustments.
AI-powered productivity and customisation
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro collaborates seamlessly with mobile phones, tablets, and earphones via the popular Super Device feature. And HUAWEI AI Camera and AI Sound capabilities provide an unparalleled online conferencing experience. AI Search supports cross-device search and locates keywords and related content in documents across devices, further improving work efficiency.
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro strikes the perfect balance between sleek design and exceptional performance. With its innovative technology, the laptop is an ideal productivity and creativity tool for all users, regardless of your environment or application.
