Don't Buy A Macbook Air! | Huawei Matebook X Pro (2024) Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Reviewing the Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024, an Intel Core Ultra 9 laptop weighing under 1kg boasting excellent performance. The Matebook X Pro 2024 is one of the best ultraportable notebooks I've tested in ages, even if battery life isn't as superb as some rivals. Video editing, even gaming, is more than possible on this compact device.
Compared vs the Macbook Air 13, this Huawei laptop not only boasts a bigger screen - it's even lighter! The gaming chops are still good enough to run top titles like Forza Horizon at a smooth frame rate on high graphics. And the Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024 can capably handle video editing in DaVinci Resolve, as well as creator tasks like photo editing.
Huawei's flexible OLED isn't just pin sharp and poppy, it's also surprisingly bright. And that anti-reflective coating means the Matebook X Pro 2024 laptop can comfortably be used outdoors, ideal for students, commuters etc.
You've also got some reasonably beefy speakers, dual Thunderbolt ports and around 7 hours of battery life on balanced performance. So overall, there's a lot to love about the Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024. It's one of my favourite laptops right now, but what do you think?

That thin and light whilst still running an x86 processor, imagine what they could pull off when ARM chips for Windows becomes mainstream!
that was exactly what I was thinking, and the're also working on x86 emulation with ARM, so that's probably how they were able to engineer these boards sooo small to make enough room for the battery.
You're detached from reality, AMD is where it's at when it comes to cramming high powered chips into tiny packages.
Not really, x86 still has got alot of potential, their efficiency wasn't great until 10th gen, they r doing remarkably better in mid performance to efficiency charts with every generation
@FactsBeFacts I'm not detached from reality mate. I own a 12th Gen i7 VivoBook and a Ryzen 5000 series ThinkPad, and multiple times, I've been able to use Apple silicon, so I'm definitely not detached. Not once did I mention performance in my original comment.
It's impressive the power AMD packs in for very little power draw relative to Intels efforts, and I absolutely love my AMD laptop, but by design, there's no beating the efficiency of ARM. It might not be as powerful in some cases, and use case is entirely dependent on your apps and whether they work better on x86 or ARM.
My case is already starting to be proven with these new Copilot+ PCs. Thin and light, and I'm sure they'll be powerful enough for most tasks.
But is no difference for Huawei. They just get banned for using the Intel and Qualcomm chips. Soon even Windows will ban them. While that may not be a huge problem (Huawei will anyway start this year to run on HarmonyOS for laptops as well) the chips are a problem. Intel was crap anyway (draining the battery life and throttle) but Qualcomm banning its a huge issue. They cant use the new Elite chips on ARM. I think this will be the last Huawei laptop for US and EU markets. They still have a lot of chips from Intel to cover the sales for about a year. But after that they have no chips yet to compete.
That laptop is almost good enough to make me switch back to laptops from my desktop.
Why are you using a desktop if you don't need a powerful machine anyways? used laptops are just as cheap you just need to find one with a good battery
Dont Go to Huawei. Find sth that will last.
@@icephoenix5466 Why wouldn't the Huawei last? their phones lasted me years and didn't slow down like Samsungs, I was thinking their laptops would be just as good
@@houssamalucad753 I have been building my own computers since the 1980s. Being able to switch out specific parts that need to be changed has allowed me to only buy 4 computers since the 80s. All of my other upgrades have been incremental changes to those machines. Need video capture, add a card, need a faster graphics card, switch it, require additional ram, easy!
My last laptop allowed me to switch the solid state drive for a bigger one, add ram, replace the CD drive with a second ssd. I took advantage of all of those options and kept the laptop running for 6 years. I used it with an external monitor keyboard and mouse after the battery died for a couple of years too. At which point I built another desktop from parts I had laying around.
Now that I have said all this out loud into my voice recognition I realized that I don't want one of these new laptops because they won't last as long without the ability to do similar upgrades. I'm sticking with the desktop.
NEVER, I would entertain idea of both, however.
13mm thick?? That's literally 3mm thinner than the watch I'm wearing right now. I look forward to keeping one of these out of a landfill for $100 when someone gets sick of it for no reason in a few years.
I watch every video because of the wallpaper you use in any table laptop or phone😂😂
Right!! He's so consistent
i watch his videos because of the insults directed towards some dickhead
where he get those wallpapers
Love your videos but mostly love your wallpapers...lol...great content as usual. Thanks
I was about to pre-order a copilot+PC laptop but saw the articles on copilot recall than your video got recommended. Thanks for giving me another option beside macOS
Thanks for the review
I just found my next laptop.
I still use my matebook x pro 2019, still a great laptop today 👍🏻
I bought my matebook x pro in 2018 and I was surprised how well the Dolby Atmos Sound System works and it still works without problems
How's the battery holding up
@@AhsanKhan1998 I mainly use it to watch movies in the train I'd say I have between 4 and 5hrs of battery
@@AhsanKhan1998mine is shit and it gets really hot
Thanks for your honesty.
Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it. Daddy's gonna get a brand new MATE BOOK 😁❤️
switched to Lumix, huh? Happy, any complaints?
I wonder how long laptops will last. Definitely saw the increase of tablets being used in classes during my time at college that tablets. Here in the states at mine everyone almost had some sort of Mac, but saw my fair share of people with iPads and the keyboard accessories and Apple Pencil set up
This thing is pretty impressive in person.
Head scratching thing about it, is that it has no pen support, which the lower model does.
For a business all-in-one laptop, it would've been perfect if you could sign docs with a digitizer, but as always, they gotta screw up somewhere.
Where do you get your wallpapers
This video was so great that I had to watch it twice! Amazing laptop!
Wont be it the last matebook since intel and qualcomm can not provide anymore chips from now on?
The wallpaper 🔥
How thin are the bezels? I hope they at least also tried to make the bezels as thin as those on the zenbook to match its thinnest.
But by looking at it in this video, it looks thick.
Hi! Can we expect a camera comparison between the new Sony and the Google Pixel 9 Pro or the S24 Ultra? Most of the tech guys are avoiding Sony. 😐
I see you watching Suzume at 3:40 xD
Is it sold in Europe?
Damn, looks fantastic. Maybe I should've waited for this before buying an M1 Air last year. 😭😅
Man i was watching this video last week and it cuts off early 😢
watching this from a M2 Macbook Air :)
Exact same 🤣
Windows full of ADs, Telemetry? - No thanks.
Same, hooked up to my 49 inch ultra wide, with super fast speed and portability.
@@Andre-vn1sb and you think Apple dont do the same ?
The heart attacks I had when he tossed the laptop just to show how light it was
The M1 MBA exists, soooo. They made it so good, that even the M2, M3 and soon M4 can not compete, too expensive. As long as Intel inside is on the sticker, you can forget about the battery and that is the most important component. Together with the price.
M1-3 yes. M4 is the first upgrade. First time on ARMv9.
Yes,maybe,soon. But is the improvement as good at intel to M1? Or will it be as good then double the price to the M1? Is the average user going to notice? I do not know anyone that would trade the MBA M1 for anything at tis point for this price
Hello, is this laptop overheated?
How are they using intel and windows isint that band for them?
Looks good, don’t understand the metal finish on laptops, just adds weight.
watching this from a matebook x pro 2020. still a good laptop imo for basic tasks like in school or work though there can be occasional hiccups, but yeah still does the job at least for me
Is it good for 3d rendering?
@@georgemubanga1878 if you're doing just normal rendering it's alright, but tbh it's not usable for frequent modelling and rendering it would get really hot just like in gaming. the laptop is more for office or work use it can't handle such heavy tasks
Pls i would like to know where you get yiur wallpapers from
Where is the experia 1 mark 6 and 10mark 6 video ? Love from Pakistan uncle spurt ❤
Does the switch turn off the mic too? Asking for a friend who was in zoom court and took a leak on recorded audio.
I need that wallpaper
Great Review!
what's the anime at 4:05 , i'd like to watch it
Suzume.
@@ktwei thank you so much
Where do you get your wallpapers?
Arse
You say intel, I hear fan
Their core ultra chip is doing a better job.
damn , buying it
Does it have the latest Mac OS
Brother do you have extra laptop that is spare from you? I need one but currently i cant afford one! If you have please gave me!
no headphone jack??? Why is this not even mentioned, I feel like that's a massive deal breaker.
Do you know when this releases?
In 5 days from today
@@alexandruilea915 3rd June?
@@Brian_Cohen I think so, in Romania the website says pre-orders will be opened in 5 days and some hours (something like 4 hours).
can you share those fancy wallpapers of yours?
Suggested price in my country would be 2500 EUR - that's a lot!
If I had 2 grand burning a whole in my pocket, this would be the one for me, it hits all the boxes for an ideal laptop!
Hey lenovo think pad, Huawei mate book or new snapdragon power laptop or which one should I go
New snapdragons powered laptop will gonna be amazing just wait for some good news
I'll definitely wait for the Snapdragon CPU laptops. If the reviews are good, I'd also check that all your apps are compatible with it, since it's ARM and not x86.
Love you too Uncle Spurt
I don´t know. Looks great but for that money, it better does. However, the battery life is not really impressive, it got fans, and no MacOS. I use a $700 MacBookAir and yes, no touchscreen (do not have use for it) but best keyboard and touch pad, great sound, headphone jack and most importantly, battery for days. And I got used to MacOS and will not have Windows again. Got an iPad as second screen and stand alone when the MacBook is not needed and everything was just over half of this Huawei. Is the touchscreen, 0.8" bigger screen and massive storage nearly $1000 more worth it? Oh, I just tested, 1min Video conversion into portrait tik tok was in 18sec done. On battery. That makes no difference on the Mac.
I hope huawei can come out a reduced performance for battery life matebook edition, which is as light as matebook x pro and more battery life than matebook x pro, since having a laptop is for mobility, if i want to do productive work i will do it on desktop.
Imagine a Snapdragon X Elite version of this with 20 plus hours of battery life!
havent tried the coconut rum but just imagining it......almost forgive the chicken i ate hehehehehe
I am suprised that run forzea in high setting in 50 frame 😮 wihout heat or nosy fan
I need this😁
Won't lie, I don't only come here for the tech review. I also come here for what anime to watch. I let him recommend what anime I watch. @3:40
I'm early, but hey new review video!
Does he support Copilot+?
Wonder if they'll release a Snapdragon version as well?
Maybe next year
Its £2000 a macbook air starts at £1200
Maybe he meant the pro air
agreed. Such a ridiculous comparison
The Matebook X comes with 32GB RAM and 2TB storage for £2099.
What specs do you get on a MacBook Air for £1200? 8GB RAM and 128 GB storage? Because that‘s enough for 2024?
@@sukohuro ikr 😅
They do a i7 with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD for about £1200. Or you can always wait until they announce the 2025 version then these laptops go on sale and this i9 version will sell for around £1300.
That battery life though...
If you love listening to constant jet engine whistles and a hot laptop, get this.
Huawei huawei huawei…getting one🎉❤❤😮
Is there an option to disable the spyware?
dude link your wallpapers under your videos please.
Lets go again!!!
the mainstream thing about matebook X actually is that how stupidly expensive it is despite of not even 1% premium then macbooks. i am not an apple user but huawei is too early asking for more price then a macbook and provides nothing. This wont even deserves 500USD. Huawei putting all the money on reviewers only to get great feedback.i am huawei fan and using their devices in my daily like. its just an honest review.
500USD, sure
When is it being released in the UK
your accent pronouncing huawaei is worth a like alone
Not feasible until we see them running ARM chips and operating systems.
Not a one-brand guy at all, always looking for the best price-performance deal. But in this case, no. The MacBook air 13inch M1, is still performing perfectly and half the price. Best price performance laptop I ever had. But I am interested in the Pura Ultra and for sure the Huawei new wearable huawei watch fit 3.
It's Google supported?
What do you have to say the whole "matebook x pro 2024"
However creators, editors will still prefer Macbook rather than Matebook despite the lower price.
I Don't think the Matebook is available in the US. 😢 so we'll definitely see a lot of creators continue to use it here.
It is not cheaper than the MB Pro 14 (M3 Pro), as that is £250 off at the moment. Depends whether Huawei offers any deals. But with double the battery life the MB Pro 14 is a better choice for most creators.
Because most don't know
I wonder how long before we can buy screen protectors with the anti-reflective coating for all of our devices?
It’s got Windows on it! How is this a replacement? It’s a liability
Huawei is cooking crazy recipes under the hood
In South Africa, this is more expensive than the MacBook Air.. slightly the same as MacBook Pro
Purchase link please
How is the battery life
Battery life should be the least of your worries, when you consider any Huawei product
OGs know its the second time this video is being released
Any recommendations on a retailer for delivery to the Caribbean?
Best laptop from Huawei ever! MacBook killer
No 5G modern for data?
such a beautiful design, huawei is way ahead of all companies thats why US banned them
APPLE will borrow a feature or 2 from this beautiful BEAST from the EAST😮 like the finish qualty
honestly not interested in any new windows laptop that isnt running a snapdragon x tbh
Macbook's notch is a fucking disgrace if this is achievable.
It has to be arm based
This video aged like milk especially after Windows launching (again) Windows for ARM with Snapdragon X Elite/Pro.
Whenever you compare anything with Macbook Air, the problem with windows laptop for most of the time is battery life which can only achievable with more efficient ARM.
Whenever you spend money as much as a Macbook Air, you will get same or better specs laptop but rarely same built quality.
Even as lifelong windows user, I am intrigue to buy Macbook Air M1 for its built quality and battery life.
Didnt know you made a wallpaper of urself
I wonder what Debian is like on it
Is indeed its very light .
Again Huawei prove to the world that they can make better products then Appel even though they are under restrictions, so imagine if they are not!
better products what?😂 Nobody cares about a chinese crap apple wannabe
I miss Huawei being available everywhere...
Do you like the word shenanigan a lot
nooo, not the huawei sponsor 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm into strokin laptops 🤪😜
Prices starting from £1799.
What a bad bad day to announce this lol
Now that apple have new design language for their macbooks.. huawei adopted the old macbook air design language..
