- Lisa Gade reviews the Huawei Matebook 13, the smaller companion to the MateBook X Pro. The MateBook 13 competes with the 2018 MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13 and other very slim and light premium 13” Ultrabooks. It has an aluminum casing, a high resolution 3:2 aspect ratio IPS touch screen and it runs Windows 10 on Intel late 8th gen Whiskey Lake Core i5 and i7 CPUs. It has an M.2 NVMe SSD, backlit keyboard, fingerprint scanner and NVIDIA MX150 dedicated graphics on the Core i7 model. Pricing starts at $999.

Why is there a floating laptop, where’s Lisa?
@@ccmusicc ask her she's Sybill Trelawney.
Two seconds in and I am smiling! The best info, the best opinion the best humor! Thank you!
Hello Lisa! Would you rather recommend the i7 or the Ryzen 7 version with 16 GB RAM of the MateBook 13?
Lisa, Any info regarding customer service quality or where do you go if something goes wrong with the laptop
Hi there, hoping you see this as I would value your opinion. Had finally decided to go with the Matebook 13 over the Pro x after weeks of almost delerium in trying to choose a new and much needed laptop. Now just as I am about to purchase, having found a reasonable deal, I have hit a bump. I have discovered that none of the MateBooks sold in Europe where I am based, have the Nvidia graphics card. Instead they have an Intel UHD 620 integrated chip. As my main use will be for photo editing, albeit not excessively so (v keen amateur), coupled with the fact that its working on only 8GB Ram, I'm wondering if this should be a deal breaker. I have sourced the X Pro 16GB 512 Ram for a few 100 more, so I'm wondering if this would be a better option? I would really appreciate your insight. Thank you.
Hello Lisa, nice video as always, have you tried this one with the rizen 7???
Is every 512GB Matebook 13 equipped with MX150 GPU? I can't see MX150 GPU mentioned in Matebook 13 512GB version on Amazon.co.uk?
8 GB coupled with an NVMe SSD to which you can "extend" some working memory files (at slower speed than RAM obviously, but nevertheless) is enough for most users. I had been using a 8 GB laptop with an i5-7200U processor for working in a lab and doing all my research. I've had dozens of Chrome tabs, multiple Excel sheets (some of them with more than 100k entries), Word, Powerpoint and Spotify open and scattered over multiple desktops and it worked just fine. Sure, there was some minor delay from time to time, especially in Chrome where pages had to reload, but seriously...my usage was way above average.
Please help! I am choosing between old macbook air and huawei matebook 13. Whats the best value interms of quality and longer battery life? Will huawei last for years? Is it durable? Will it slow down after few years?
Ahahaha wth obviously the huawei matebook 13....
I currently have the matebook13 available in my country which is around $1100 , but unfortunately it is not touch screen. Would it still be better to get the matebook13 or the HP envy x360 ryzen 5 ($950). Please help
Im curious about huaweishare feature. Bec i dont like stickers on my laptop. If i remove that sticker, will it be affected?(huaweishare)
where you able to test connecting this to a 4k display and get 60hz refresh rate? I've read somewhere the USB C ports of this laptop are only 5Gbps (from whay I've learned, it needs up to 10Gbps transfer rate to be able to do 60hz on 4k). Can someone confirm is this was able to do 60hz on an external 4k display?
Hy Lisa , can you advice me a good,reliable ultrabook brand for arround 1000 euro max , for basic stuff like watching youtube,movies and browsing web . Thank you in advance !
Should I get the Huawei Matebook 13 with the i5 or Ryzen 7?
Hi. Is it still advisable to buy this laptop despite the US ban?
HDMI out of NVIDIA card or integrated GPU? Asking to know if it is hackintoshable
still waiting on the hp spectre 15 gemcut with the 8750h processor. when it arrives, could you please do the benchmarks when after undervolting it and once prior to undervolting it. thanks

Hi i am a mechanical engineer about to take a ms in mechatronics i am wondering if the matebook 13 i7 is sufficient for cad/simulation softwares such as ansys? Or should i go with the 2018 matebook pro for the 16gb or ram?
Build a desktop pc
Vengeful Avenger i already have at home for gaming but i cant bring it to my university
How about a smack down between the ThinkPad X1 Tablet (3rd Gen) vs the Surface Pro 6. Which pen is the best?
What would you recommend for a person who has a pc dragon and needs laptop for learning mostly coding and busines analysis or blogging etc?
Love it! Who does your wardrobe?
is this okay for android studio, XAMPP, VB and etc. ?? thank you
Hey Lisa! Again a great video and nice shirt! I’m looking to switch from a Surface 3 (not the Pro) to a traditional clamshell ultrabook, and have set eyes on three recently introduced Huawei products: the 13, 14 and the X Pro. Could you do a video on the 14 after it opens up for sale? I think that it might be “the laptop” that most students may be looking at: good enough resolution, enough ports (most of us don’t need eCPUs and others, which makes the thunder port option totally unnecessary), long battery life(main reason for why I asked for a review, seems like it’s gonna be good but that is still to be tested and I always come to your videos for reference and advice), and just enough power for running a few programs when you need to. Thank you! Love your videos. Keep it up!
Hello! Would you recommend the i5 or the i7 version?
i7 the i5 doesnt have touchscreen and also the i5 will give you slightly less performance than the i7
Is this good for video editing?
I'm on edge whether to get this or Microsoft Laptop. 3:2 aspect ratio is a must for me on laptops. I can't stand 16:9 on small screens...ugh!
I've had the Surface Laptop 2 for a month before I returned it. The display of the Matebook X Pro is so much sharper and brighter it's almost embarrassing. Furthermore you can limit the battery charge to 90% and swap the battery for a new one once it is worn, both impossible to do on the clued Surface Laptop casing.
Amazing Laptop with cool features and nice price. Love the screen ratio and the keyboard. Great job Huawei!
I like your video's. Your one of the best on reviewing technology
Great vid but wth Lisa, « 3:2 popularized by Surface products » ?? What about the Mac that did it since forever ?
Only one series of Mac, the very first PowerBook G4 from roughly 2003 had 3:2, others were 16:10 or 16:9
Can u upgrade ram on this laptop?
this chick is sick! so straight forward and gets all the facts out quick! good job
I got the late '18 Matebook D 14" AMD with similar specs for $550 on NewEgg, couldn't be happier
Hey!! I have the matebook 13 core i5. Can you recommend me some video editing software which you think best for this laptop.
hi, I know it's a pretty long time, but I would really appreciate if you tell me how it performed and if it had any issues because I'm considering buying the new 2020 one!
Try Vegas Pro, it's less indimidating and pretty easy to use! Wondershare filmora is pretty good too!
I really love these laptops. Nice builds. Microsoft has the Matebook X Pro 512gb sdd and 16gb ram on sale right now for $1299
Lisa thanks for the explanation on the security concerns
I recently bought the Matebook X Pro, and was going to get another one but held out to see what they were releasing next. This is too scaled down IMO. A better choice for me would be the i5 of the Matebook X Pro which is around that price range or spring for another X Pro i7 which is the best laptop I have ever seen. I haven't turned on my MSI GS63 in months. I don't think I will ever get anything but a 3:2 ratio laptop ... Iv'e gotten spoiled
Any info regarding customer service quality or where do you go if something goes wrong with the laptop
don greco None of my business but why do you want two similar laptops? Can't you use the on you've got?
@@frida507 I use more than 2 LOL I am In courtrooms putting evidence on many different screens and the programs need higher end laptops. I have everything backed up & redundant. I would hate to loose a $ 5 million trial because windows was updating and the judge forced us to rest our case.
@@dongreco6886 OK, I see, that makes sence! :) I was thinking that normally if I have a laptop I'm pleased with, the reason to get another one would be to get a different type. Like if I have a nice light and portable laptop I might still want a bigger screen or stronger one at home. And you probably don't want to carry your gaming laptop around campus when you go to college...
@@mosesjoshua7570 the build quality seems to be good enough where that won't be an issue (on the matebook x pro). I'll probably get the 13 just for minor work and carring around all the time.
Hey Lisa great vid! Can you tell when the HP Spectre 15 review (Hexa Core 1050 Ti) will be dropped?
Lisa, would you please make a comparison between this Matebook 13 vs Zenbook 13? Thank you for your great videos.
How well does this hardware work with Linux?
Linux apparently works mostly fine on it:

Watching this on my Matebook X Pro!
good for you?
I've had it for a year and a half and LOVE it!
not bad and... not impressive either. feels like a step back in value/money from X Pro. pricing feels too close to dell/apple on this with not enough advantage to swing a purchase.
"pricing feels too close to dell/apple" lmao are you insane
watch macbook and matebook 13 comparison. so much people say matebook is much, much more worth the price than others
@@Solaxe yes, yes he is insane lol
You don't know what you are talking about lol
Can someone please help me. How can i download free version of the ms 10 on my huawei matebook 13 2020. Thank you
The only problem with buying this is the price. $999 model is sold in China with $741 including tax.
COol video. I was wondering what happened to your P1 vs X1 extreme comparison. I can't seem to find it on your channel. Could you link me?
I didn't plan on doing that comparison because they are almost the same laptop- same chassis, same displays, same motherboard, same battery, same charger. The P1 adds the Intel Xeon CPU option and has Quadro rather than GeForce graphics- those are the only differences.
8G RAM without capability to extend is a deal breaker for me
Can't really expect 16GB at that price point. If you absolutely need that, go for the Matebook X Pro.
@Asbjørn MateBook 13 would otherwise be good for on-the-go CAD, video editing etc. 8GB RAM denies that.
@Asbjørn 2019 ultrabooks are about as powerful as 2014 workstation laptops now. And in terms of CPU, with sufficient cooling, 8565U can be faster than 7920HQ from just last year. The need to carry around a giant machine is decreasing.
P.S. MateBook 13's dedicated MX150 does pretty good CUDA in Premiere.
@@Torjus_ Sure you can. This is a very low end middle of the road configuration that doesnt justify a 1000 bucks when it's Huawei. Even for 1300 you dont get 16 gb ram, it's ridiculous. I dont know who is actually paying this kind of money for Huawei, even before for the security issues. But I guess every day a moron is born.
If you want 16GB go for the Matebook X Pro. This isn't their flagship device. It was rated one of the best laptops of 2018 and it still holds up. The Matebook 13 is a lighter version, but hey i'm just a moron right?
It's not unusual for a thin and light to have 8GB with this configuration at this price point. As for security thats about 5G infrastructure that Huawei was suppose to supply several markets. Theres nothing to indicate their laptops/phones are compromised.
This model has 25W MX150 which is really rare in 13 inch Ultrabooks
Want to know how the 25w GPU compares with the blade.
I settled on the blade stealth over the pro x due to the latter only using the lower TDP GPU. this apaprently uses the 25w, so huawei might be back in the running.
Obviously it wont be a gaming powerhouse, but I want an ultrabook for work with all day battery life that can play some games in a pinch. So that GPU will be a big deciding factor.
DDR3 RAM?
@MI 6 YIKEEEEEES
Pretty standard for these ultrabooks.
there is no low power ddr4 ram, all the ultrabooks use low power ddr3 ram
@@DogsBAwesome Then enlighten us and tell us how much power is ddr4 using compared to low power ddr3.
@@maxmeier532 DDR4-2400, generally uses 1.4V instead of ~1.2V,meaning the RAM uses close to 20% more power, takes more area on the logic board (meaning a thicker laptop or smaller battery) and the CAS latencies are usually worse on DDR4, meaning actual gains are minimal at best. The only real drawback of using LPDDR3 is the limitation of 16GB,
One of the one youtubers who can actually say the name "Huawei" for some reason.
Like your videos when they about 10 mins long. Great video!
The next product is to make a Matebook 15 with actual dedicated graphics such as a 1060/2060 Max-Q along with a higher TDP chip, preferably 25ish watts
Lisa, would you please consider reviewing more chromebooks? They're growing in popularity and it's hard to find reviews. Heck even the Chrome Unboxed UA-cam channel is lazy about reviewing a lot of chromebooks.
We've got a Lenovo coming soon with a 4K display and Core i5 that sells for around $899.
What about the mid tier chromebooks though? Everyone's always talking about the ultra budget chromebooks or the super premium ones. We don't see hardly any reviews for the Chromebook Spin 15 or any equivalents even though they're competitors to the Asus Chromebook Flip which everyone goes gaga over. It's really hard to find good recommendations in the market because there's hardly any reviews for anything but the big popular chromebooks.
Nice review as usual! But the non-synced audio and video speech is a bit...well... interesting...to watch! ;-)
Plays with audio synced for me. Maybe UA-cam wasn't feeling well earlier.
unrelated question : will we have an mx250 ?
Nope.
Smack down with this and XPS 13 please!
Nice review! As always real honest =) Also, as always... Best shirt of the world XD
Wow, very unusuall placements of 2 fans and CPU & GPU. They have all PCIE lanes going through the length of motherboard? Why would they do that? Usually you place GPU next to CPU to benefit of high clocks and more speed. I don't get it.
So your legs don't block the fan intake
@@BradsHacks Well, why don't place fan intake vents on sides then, as in MBP?
@@fabergefabulous5010 Actually, that would be a good idea. It does require more planning. Apple definitely did CFD when designing the airflow path. Huawei decided intake from bottom was more direct.
As usual wonderful.... Thanks for this. I would look forward to doing for LG gram 14" 2019...
This is good laptop when it goes on sale. Microsoft Store here in Canada was selling Matebook D for 699$.
i just bought one i5 version and I think it has heat problem. my laptop's fans keep on running most of the time. and the heat coming from it sometimes unbearable.
anyone faces this as well?
M.Z. Are the fans loud?
I don't understand why the GRAM isn't compared favorably
Very impressive. Good price and good design.
Great Review, looking forward for the Razer Blade Stealth review !!!
if you go into a store these Huawei Laptops (especially the Matebook X Pro) look like devices from the future compared to the majority of competitors. I'm on the wait for a 2019 Matebook X Pro refresh with a 3000x2000 display but more efficient cooling, make it happen Huawei!
Please could you review the MSI ps63 modern 8M laptop?
Huawei matebook D?
Nice to see if you could review mate 20 x
How is the MATEBOOK 13 a mobile tech?
great review
Both, the i5 and i7 have the mx150 on board. The i5 doesn't have the touch screen.
Huawei offers different variaitions in different regions, for US models she is correct.
Hahaha! LOVE your shirt! The keyboard looks REALLY shallow, though, yuck, and that chin at the bottom of the trackpad looks kinda painful for your wrist while you're using the mouse? Weird! Still, awesome review, as always! Rock on, Lisa!
Waiting for Matebook X Pro 14" update with Pen Support..
Also miss keyboard (proper reviews, compare to some lenovo machines for instance) and touchpad comparison with macs
A clean install of Windows is always a good thing (and then add back in drivers and apps as necessary) but especially so with a Huawei machine.
@@ReptilianLepton It's odd this doesnt get discussed more. Not even just as a fact, but at least as a question that has to be addressed. I wouldnt buy huawei atm until we know for sure what is going on and I dislike the fact their products are being advertised like here without bringing up the elephant in the room.
@@maxmeier532 why it doesn't get any noise on tech channels is because it's a load of rubbish. There is 0 proof that Huawei has put anything malicious in any of their hardware just USA propaganda machine. We all know the USA has done this as a fact. Proven by Snowden, Wikileaks, NSA hacker leaking tools. Look at Apples latest bug with facetime that allows someone to listen into your phone. It wasn't a bug it was a feature the government forced Apple to put in. Apple products are the most easily hacked these days.
Matthew Bray it’s a load of twoddle
Does anyone here have this computer and if you do, can you tell me wether its quiet or not? I mean when you're just doing schoolwork, surfing the internet, streaming a movie etc? No hard work just everyday things? The laptop I have atm is killing me in terms of the noise it makes even when I'm doing the easiest things...
Its actually great
Why arent there more AMD powered laptops? They have better integrated graphics than intel so you wouldent need a graphics card. The addtional space could have been used for better cooling (tdp up chip! instead of the pesky 15w when they can give us more) plus a bigger battery.
Please review the new Asus UX433 Lisa, it looks like a good alternative to the Dell and Hauwei with a 14 inch screen in a 13.3 inch case.
Huawei 👍👍👍 !! :)
It is kinda bashing very good product.
Finally a video review in < 10 minutes! :-P
No Thunderbolt? At that price? No from me :(
I like it!
No thunderbolt 3 !?
It is the type of laptop you use if you have nothing to hide.
8Gb of RAM rules this out for me. :-( I would love to see 16Gb becoming more standard.
it's not a standard because nobody needs 16 gb especially on a laptop
@@Solaxe As a developer and user of Chrome, I have to disagree.
Install Linux on it.
Review the GS75
you're so pretty
😍😍😍
I love your shirt! 😂
cool, but 300 nits is not bright
Not at all :(
Thank god it's not an invisible cloak that works!
nice T shirts
Fewer ports, less max memory. Looks like a straight downgrade from the X Pro
sorry, unrelated to the video, but i believe someone is outright stealing your content.
The channel's name is Cutrona's Reviews, here is the video in question: ua-cam.com/video/6ruYhdu36po/v-deo.html
I dont lokr the big logo 😭
FYI don't buy whiskey lake CPU. Do your research, they're garbage.
Cant get excited about a laptop, sorry. I need separation as a tablet.
Got my hopes up until 3:55 :(
thunderbolt 3 isn't that useful yet though
@@Solaxe external GPU for one lmao?
