Id say it's all about what you're planning on doing with it. I think the Air is the perfect note-taking and web-browsing machine in a compact format with great battery, say for students etc. Keep in mind of the limits of MacOS though as alot of programs that work on Windows won't work on Mac. The Matebook will give you more diversity in what you can do with it but lacks some of the features you'll get with an Air.
Thanks for this review! I couldn't find any information anywhere on disassembly, as I have just scored one of these (R7 5700U + 16G model) for £350 on an auction site without an SSD, and knowing they used T5 screws before I had it in person, so I could buy the required screwdriver was immensely useful!
I purchased this for review at the time. Still going strong, great general workhorse laptop. Performance still good, lightweight and touchscreen useful at times.
Thank u for this review
Glad you liked it. Tend to do reviews we can get our hands on from the manufacturers, usually more main stream like HP or Lenovo models.
Could u pls do more review on Huawei products?
I’m torn between getting the macbook air m1 base version with 256gb/8rams or the matebook 14 amd 9? Any advice

Do not choose huawei matebooks, thay have main problem with the mainboard, it short circuits due to lack of grounding.

Is it good for graphic designs?
Not really designed for graphics work.
@@Dovecomputers Why? I thought this screen being IPS + high RGB ratio and good enough processor were good especially for 2D graphics
@@patek2385 Bad graphics card.
