Display

Let’s start with the larger model. The Huwaei MateBook D15 features a 15.6-inch screen and Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels). Thanks to this, you can count on a proper workspace and at the same time a detailed picture – which will be useful not only during work, but also when watching movies.

It should be emphasized that here the manufacturer used IPS technology, which guarantees wide viewing angles. It also used an eye protection mode, which eliminates blue light, harmful to the eyes, and ensures less tedious use of the device after dark.

Cartoon capabilities

The laptop’s multimedia is highlighted by the Dolby Atmos audio system, which offers high-quality sound and deep, detailed sound.

Huawei matebook d 14 overview: autonomy

The built-in battery capacity of the MateBook D 14 is 56 Watt*h, which corresponds to 3,665 [email protected]. The notebook comes with a 65-watt USB PD adapter with maximum outputs of 20V and 3.25A. By the way, from the same adapter is easy to charge a smartphone (5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/2A).

In normal mode in half an hour the battery of the laptop can be filled to about 46%. According to the manufacturer, one battery charge is enough for 9.5 hours of video playback in 1080p quality at 150 nits brightness. And here is the playback of our test set of videos in MP4 format (hardware decoding)

Along with the standard “Battery” icon in the Windows 10 interface, the MateBook D has a tiny LED next to the USB-C power connector that blinks slowly in white to indicate charging, and glows constantly when the battery is full.

Conclusion

The first Huawei laptop we tested did not make a stunning impression on us, simply because it is not too different from many very similar portable solutions from various manufacturers. A nice metal casing just begs to be taken on the road with the customer, promising not to pull away the bag or backpack and not to take up much space in them.

Excellent battery life allows you to drive around without a power adapter, and if it is still urgently needed, any standard one with USB output and PD support will do. The downside of all this lightness and portability is a very small number of interface connectors and, for example, the absence of a wired network. In general, as we said, it is a typical representative of its class.

The novelty is slightly distinguished by the use of AMD processor, but, unfortunately, the Huawei line of laptops has not yet been updated with the 4000 series of mobile Ryzen. Nevertheless, the MateBook D14 takes full advantage of the Ryzen 5 3500U installed, showing relatively high results in professional applications and games.

Huawei MateBook D14 enters a crowded market, there are a lot of offers in this class of laptops, and we easily picked up several models with exactly the same configuration on Yandex.Market (it is not always possible). Of course, each model has its own nuances, it is simply impossible to take them all into account in the review of a particular model (not a comparative review): fingerprint scanner, the possibility to upgrade the memory… Nevertheless, the trump card of the novelty is immediately visible: the price!

However, Huawei has a traditional (for its smartphone sales) trump up its sleeve: a gift at purchase. On pre-order, the MateBook D14 could be purchased for the designated 48 thousand bundled with the Huawei MediaPad T3 8 tablet (its retail price in the company’s store is almost 10 thousand rubles). At the time of publication of our article, the 14-inch laptop was temporarily out of stock on the website, but the 15-inch one was available, and the same tablet was offered as a “gift”.

Perhaps, in time, another gift will be offered (or there will be a choice of gifts). Of course, many people will rightly argue that instead of an unnecessary gift, they would prefer a price reduction. There is such an option, too: a retail offer of the MateBook D14 for 40 thousand rubles has already appeared on Yandex.Market. In general, in such conditions, only Xiaomi products can compete on an equal footing with Huawei products: its RedmiBook 14″ Ryzen Edition is offered from 39 thousand rubles.
