Hey Chaps! Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss my next video! 🔥 (Also - what do you think of the MateBook D 15 for £600?) 🤔
I think it's great. Just a few weird things about it like how it's got a smaller battery than the 14 even though it's got more room for it and I also don't like how the ram is soldered to the motherboard.
I would love to get this laptop for my photography but sadly I can't afford it :'(
So nice to have you to update me on the tech, especially as your a local UA-camr so that's very good as most people can't get that 🙃
Wallpaper link bro???
I need urgent a latop very light and touch screen if possible. I dont have more than 600, please help me, what can I buy convertible or dual around this budget? Greetings from México 💛
link me to the 16gb version please because I can't find it, 8gb is not enough because Vega 8 reserves 1.5gb
I'm gradually falling in love with Huawei's ecosystem. I'm really impressed with the design of this laptop and it's capabilities considering the price.
Totally agree with you.
I first fell in love starting with Huawei Mate 20,then i bougjt huawei p30 lite and recently i bought Freebuds 3 and Matebook D15. BANGINNG!!!!
@@mac9889 Also, have ypu seen the P40? Mrwhosetheboss did an excellent job reviewing it and Huawei recently collaborated with him about using the phone as his main driver.
I just love seeing Huawei get their way around the Google ban.
The price is average at best in my opinion, Acer Aspire 5 with Ryzen 3500u, 16GB RAM, 512GB m2 ssd and much better battery, was on sale around christmas for 470 euros
@@ChristianNorge I totally agree. I'm looking to upgrade my 5-year old laotop and this is simply not good value for money. I'd much rather buy a pc.
@@ChristianNorge yeah bro, if you want a lot of upgradeable laptop go for the acer. I think personally huawei design look neater and cleaner than the acer one. But no hate both are good driver. Im considering both as a student on a tight budget!
Just got this laptop and I'm so happy with it. The screen is more than good enough for daily tasks and light gaming like wow classic etc. It's pretty silent all the time and for me I can't really find anything negative to point out. For 550$ this was a chocking good deal! :)
The only negative is the camera I think.
Yes my dad bought me this..but i using play games..
@@amirmirza2920 what games do you play is it good? On older cod and other classic games or gta v?
@@jerdinatuan8446 welp the older games i think it is ok..gta v okay if you play while charging..i can play valorant csgo and etc
Hey how about the battery life?
Was looking for a good matenook review, finally found it
matebook*
@Zangief The Red 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 im dying
thank you so much for covering this laptop!
Amazing laptop. D15 looks great and i prefer laptops with a larger screen. I will definitely consider buying it
The review that I’ve been waiting!
Got one last week and love it.
Boots up in about 8 seconds, the fingerprint reader/on switch works perfectly. I use it all the time, Netflix and such stream flawlessly. The screen isn't as bright as some, it is blue light filtered though. Battery life about 5 to 6 hours on average. It's not really a gaming machine but it can handle most on lower settings. The camera thing is a little weird but thats ok. The machine has stayed nice and cool in all usage situations and it looks nice.
Honestly, the D15 has some quirks, but if you can get over them it's a great all purpose laptop for the money.
did you play league with it?
@@beratsamil ofc it can play league 1080p medium or high 60 fps
I'm running Warframe at 1080p Medium settings with no lag. I would say it is very impressive. The performance between Ryzen 5 and 7 isn't much different except for the temperature management.
@Shocks2020 hey mate, could you install solidworks in it?
can u play gta V and valorant on it?
I will definitely get one for such a competitive price.
Dell: it’s my way or the Huawei.
😂😂😂 underrated comment
The rover...
Hua actually means ‘Chinese’ so actually your sentence literally makes sense
😭😭😭👍🏻
@@b1_ferg is the screen glossy or matte/anti-glare ???
Bought this 2 weeks ago. Perfect for me switching to a WFH setup. Very fast bootup time and no problems so far. Screen isn’t really an issue once you see the actual thing
The multiscreen collaboration is so cool!!
Wow this needs to come to the US so competition increases
5:58 Screen is not color accurate but "It's not the end of the world"
Man that was so funny!!! You just made my day!
Hey Chap!! Nice review as usual. Was wondering if there is a reason you don't review Lenovo Thinkpad laptops? Especially the X1 carbon and the X1 Extreme. Would really love to get your take on em'
thank you man for the review and thank you amd for making ultrabooks affordable. just ordered one
I'm rocking the Ryzen 7 model and I would say I'm very happy with it. It runs Warframe with medium setting very well and some other games such as Path of Exile. I paid $700 for it when it was on sales and the device comes with 512GB SSD.
The Thumbnail & Review is Absolutely Clear & Magnificent!!! 😍😍😍
Hi I have the MateBook D 15 also with the same color but i havent fully explore it. Nice review pretty helpful 😊
The Hauwei matebook is one of the best purchases I've made. I know people were saying the battery isn't that great but I'm a student whose on my laptop constantly, and it lasts a good day and a half or 2 days.
Everything about the laptop is great! 💜
How about the camera? Is it good ??
do you think it's appropriate for architecture students?
@@brandonurine8078 if you use lumion, no.
I've got one of these, I'm very happy with it, it's smart, fast, well made, and works just fine as my everyday laptop. My only niggle with is the mouse touchpad, which I find to be overly sensitive, or sometimes just doesn't react at all. I use my Matebook to play online poker, and several times the touchpad just didn't react, or locked up, and I missed a crucial play. I solved this by buying a wireless mouse and a rigid mousemat, which works just fine. I've bought a larger ssd drive for it, which was a painless process to swap out using Macrium Reflect. All good, I recommend it.
Hows the battery
What about google play store?
U can control the touch pad sensitivity from sitting> touch pad> sensitivity
@@randenabi6926 Tried everything with the settings, it still locked up.
@@rei_1393 Google Play store? Why would I want that, this is a Windows laptop.
Thanks for a very informative review. Can you make a review on the Lenovo Yoga S740?
im watching this on my huweai matebook d15 u helped me buy it thanks man :) worth the price
I just bought this from Huawei store with free mouse and 100 gpb off the price for 500. I use my laptop mostly for programming and occasionally viewing Netflix and UA-cam. Weight, price and visual aesthetics influenced my decision mainly. I have a Ryzen desktop for playing games. Thanks for the review.

@@rupeshsanyasi just like Google, Facebook and Microsoft 🤷♀️
In today's world your data is everywhere
I bought one yesterday. I was amazed by the specs. Because in my country there are only laptops with i5 10th gen and Intel HD, 4GB RAM are available and when I saw this D15 model I bought without even thinking anything. Now after watching this review I feel that I made the right decision.
Must be shitty living where you do if only cheap crap is available to buy
This video was shoot the day of my birthday. Wow ! And my mom's gonna buy this laptop for me. What a coincidence. +1 sub
Good presentation I totally agree with you regarding Huawei matebook d 15 I have placed an order all so getting Huawei pro band with the Huawei d15 it should come handyman
I’ve had this for one year as a student and it’s been AMAZINGGG!!! Best value for money
did you not have problems with its battery life. right now mine only lasts like 2.5 hours wtih basic office usage
@@yigitsbd no battery life is amazing for me, charges up really quick too
Great review; I'm researching my next machine, which I'll want to do some music production and light editing and storage of photographs, plus usual internet and home office stuff. I was thinking about the MacBook Air, but it seems a bit lightweight for my needs, although I like the i5 / 512Mb SSD option. MacBook Pro, I'm not paying that sort of money for .....
Thank you Sir. Your analysis is well balanced
I really like your video, it's very real n detail.Hope you can introduce Sumsung Galaxy Book Flex.
Just got this baby and I really love it so far! Great review aswell thanks! :)
How is it on battery life?
Can i know how’s the battery life? i gotta use it for microsoft & surfing internet & a little bit of youtube is it ok for a university student?
@@user-cv3pu9iq8k most of the reviewers said that basic work and multitask as a student will get 5-6 hours of battery life. If you do something demanding such as graphics designing it probably will be lower than that. But basic task such as surfing the internet will get you at most 5 hours of battery life. It depends. So if you going to buy this laptop, just take the power brick too in the bag. The power brick that the manufacturer provide can be used as a phone charger too. So just keep it in the bag :)
Bringing you all new notebook from Tom The Tech Chap, Makebook. Elegantly designed and superbly powered and uber cool.
I just bought my huawei matebook d15, i Thought it doesn't have camera omg. Big thanks to this review vid
I was thinking about getting that laptop, I decided to see some reviews first, I'm now sure I'll get it!
Have you checked out Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5?? Incase you haven't, you definitely should.
I just hot mine. The last one! It was sold out in most stores, so it's selling like turkeys for thanksgiving! Loving it so far. Great design and I love the webcam mechanism! Only take it out when I need it.
How is it after 11 months?
Hi, love the video! Were looking for a first laptop for our 11 year old daughter for homeschooling this year would you recommend this laptop for use of zoom and chromecasting...sorry if I'm not making any sense but feeling very overwhelmed with all the choices! x
Good review! Nice job!
Now I can make sure that I will buy it. Anyway thanks for your video review 🙂👍
0:30 there is matebook 13 2020 on their website. I guess they just didn't mention it in their keynote and it will be sold alongside x pro
Damian H. Got any idea of the release date?? Can’t wait for it lol
I love the design specially the keyboard of D14
Awesome laptop with good spec. Love the Huawei design
I swapped my huawei nova 3 with oneplus 8 pro and eversince i'm buying more huawei accessories like gt2 watch and now i'm strongly considering this laptop for my daily use as it's got all the features i need like thin and light design, fingerprint scanner, 1080 matte display, good battery life and it's an overall huge upgrade from my 8-y-o lenovo g50.
That's nice. I'm buying it your review helped a lot😄🖤
I'm a student in high school and we all know laptop requirements for students isn't that demanding. Thus, overall I did decide to buy this laptop and I have to say, I really do recommend it for students that need a good laptop to get them through their classes, and most might think the camera being put on the keyboard may be weird but I do feel like it has its' benefits , especially for people like me who put scotch tape on their cameras 😅
How long do you charge it?
Only found this laptop today while browsing Dell XPS laptops... Love the very similar bezel design, and they seem very cheap even in my country !
Maybe I try a Matebook as my next machine :)
Bought the 14 inch version off Currys for £550 with next day delivery with 512gb storage and the ryzen 5 3500u, got a great deal!
I just bought one with a Ryzen 7 processor. Wonderful machine! Great design and a large trackpad. Yes, the screen lacks a little brightness, but not that bad. It makes it easier on the eyes. With a right click on the desktop you can adjust the color temp of the screen. A nice little touch to quickly match your monitor to the room’s lighting. I consider this money well spent.
Is the Ryzen 7 way better than the 5 or not?
Téo Leclercq lol
bruh i returned mine because of the pop up camera, Have you had that problem?
How is the computer? Is it still great?
Bought this yesterday , pretty cool especially the design , it was the last one at the store and the only colour they had was silver
Can I ask you something? Does it have ethernet port? I don't think it does. How can you have wired internet connection??
@@Vaidanis. Φίλε δεν έχει θύρα ethernet. Άρα μόνο με wifi πιάνει ίντερνετ.
@@christosgouidas2134 ωραίος, σε ευχαριστώ πολύ!!

It really help me to decide..
thank you very much, you really help me to decide.
Great reviews, im owning one and i would like to address its biggest drawback would be the 42wh battery life...its bad for a 15.6 inches laptop lol...mine only last around 4-5 hours watching anime, slightly lagging while gaming but is understandable, keyboard not backlighted nt an issue for me but the feel of pressing it does feel SHALLOW, do try it out to see whether does it suite ur preference :)
I want to buy this because its RM2500 here in Malaysia. Comapred to my 2015 Dell that is now fried, costed RM5000 which was insane for a laptop which in my opinion hardly lived up to its ratings.
I love Huawei so much! If price is cheap and works beautifully; Ill obviously take it! :D
Oh wow a fellow Malaysian!😀
I'm looking for a cheap laptop for work and your review helped a lot. Found it on amazon for 499 I guess not such a bad laptop.
Im getting this with the i5 1135g7 configuration, on black friday. This is the best Macbook look a like I've ever seen (my opinion)!
I actually REALLY like the flip up and down keyboard camera! Very clever design! The bezels are also very thin!
why mine is not working, need help pls
@@lifewithjhani6158 it did happen to me, I resetted it and opened the camera app BEFORE activating the camera and it worked
Thanks so much, I can now use my webcam. More blessings to you and to your channel. Thanks for replying.
3:54 specs
U can get up to 140fps on Minecraft :)
Just got mine last Sunday ❤️🙏
Not bad considering the price. My only gripe is the lack of backlit keys which makes it difficult to type in the darkl but again can't complain too much given the price. This is perfect for students or even for office use that won't demand intense apps like MS Office, Email, Browsing, Accounting software etc... I do love that they still include classic 3X USB-A ports which is nice and it does have 1 USB-C that is used for both charging and data transfers... They also include a 1TB HDD at least where I live in addition to the primary 256GB SSD to store files like movies...
I got mine yesterday. All is good for me. I love it! Except for the camera angle. A bit weird & funny lol
Assalamualaikum Husna 😹
True
Perfect laptop for students 👍🏼
Can you download word on this ?
@@crazycupcakesxx you can get word on any windows 10 device and even on the web
Very helpful, thanks so much 💋
Nice review! Watching this video with my Huawei D15. Haha. Webcam angle is also a downside for me. Although I rarely use it anyway so it's not much of a problem. :D
Would this be good for editing? I use Sony Vegas to edit. Thanks in advance for your help x
For Heavy Editing Lenovo Legion Y540 would be a nice option.
Can i use 2021 adobe suits smoothly? Is this version of CPU is equivalent to i5? As this unit Doesn't support above 8 GB ram, so what i can do or update to get extra performance in future?
Thanks, I have a question. Which ryzen 5 support SMT? Is ryzen 5 3500u support SMT?, and which is the budget one?
Thank you mate, my laptop has just broke and needed a new one.
Hey guys im kinda late but can you figure this out for me, i will be going to a college in few month and im wondering if this laptop is better than the acer swift 3. It got kinda same specs but the acer one is using ryzen 5 fourth gen something. Correct me if im wrong but can you guys help me out choosing the right one. Im into some light gaming and a lot of light video editing. And as a student, i kinda like a laptop with better battery performance! Thanks guys :)
I was confused about buying one,, now I'm confused even more 😅
Thank you so much 🌺
I'm Whacking you from Iraq 😊✌
Have a Lenovo 530s. Battery life was 5 hours to start with and after one year it is at 2 hours. And Lenovo says the battery is okay. Lot of features are the same as shown here in matebook. almost all things like the rear cooling vents, speakers and the lid not opening with one hand are similar. Wonder if they are off the same assembly line. Might as well spend some more money and buy MacBook air. Will last way longer and much better experience.
Just bought mine yesterday, it's sold out everywhere. The store I went to said that it's the last piece. The look is really nice. Camera & Battery not so good.
What's bad about the camera?
@@flayful maybe it's the angle? it's placed at the keyboard so i guess it's not really that good for video calls.
@@hannahdesepeda2909 Yup,i'm currently using it for my college online class.Imagine a camera angle from downwards just showing your nose hole haha and the battery is just not the best comparing to the same price level laptop.Other than the battery and camera angle though i think it is better comparing with other laptop with the same price overall
@@choongqianzheng3009 how long does the battery last when using it for online classes?
I don't need a camera, nor do I need speakers either. Just give me a good exclusively gaming laptop and I'm happy.
The "Fruit based Rival" had me laughing
Great review. My laptop of choice was always the Lenovo IdeaPad but not particular impressed with the current range. So my choice is between the Asus 15 Amd A9 or this MateBook.
Do you recommend it for music production? 🤔
Got myself the Matebook D 14 with a ryzen 5 2500u + 8gb RAM for only 520 Euros
Can only say that it's a beast for the price.
Than you, where? I want this
@@Cecikim100 Got it local retailer, you just have to find it locally I guess
@@neffarion It was sold out in the stores but I get one now! I love it. THANK YOU !!!!!
@yugen dran macbook air has a weak cpu and graphics. Take the matebook d14.
But isn’t the screen too small?
I've got the D14 and I have to say it's been a great laptotp so far. I've got the high end version with the Intel i7 and 16 gigs of ram. The screen looks very good to me but I'm not a screen and colour professional so it's more than enough for my use (some light gaming, some light photo editing and a lot of youtube/netflix).
Battery has been good too although not the best (but the D14 has a bigger battery than the D15).
The build quality is strong and looks quite premium, very few flex in the body as well.
In terms of thermals, the fan does not kick in if you do just some internet and youtube, but it will as soon as you open an app that's more demanding like photoshop or a game. Then you can definitely hear the fan but it doesn't get too loud or too disturbing.
In gaming use, the processor stabilises itself at around 70°C so it never gets too hot which is good but I feel like it definitely could get a bit hotter and give you a higher frequency, but it doesn't.
Overall it is a very good PC that I definitely recommend. Just keep in mind that I'm still running the 1909 windows version and I still haven't had the update to the 2004 version and it's been almost a year that this version was released.
Would you suggest d14 or d15?
@@Dynos_7 I've never tried the d15 but I would say get the d14
@@benji_jiben yeah thanks! I dont like big laptops anyways.and d14 is double the storage. Thanks once again.
My pleasure dude
I can´t seem to use the @ key on the keyboard of the Matebook D15 I have tried all buttons plus the 2 key where the @ is but still no joy
thanks for the information! will it be good to purchase it for graphic design / some animation work?

Bought D15 R7 512Gb 3 days ago - really really happy with it
Is your laptop still ok?in term of daily use games?any lag?
@@alashtv8827 Hi. Still very happy with it. I don't game ever. Had a warranty issue with BT - was replaced. Otherwise no issues. No visible lag
@@alexander_mmm tq for your update
How about the space? Does it get full quickly?
Would it be possible to edit with bigger programms on it? Like after effects or Sony vegas?
It is possible editing using sony vegas. But try limiting your video resolution to 1080p. 1080 60fps is fine. But 4k is not fun.
I personally use 2TB USB which should come handy in the USB on the side which is USB 3
Is this better or an acer aspire 5 with i5 10210U 8gb ram 512ssd and mx230?
Not just specs i want to consdier build quality and daily usage.
watched the full review already but i still need to know if it's recommended for graphic work and architectural rendering? anyone?
Same
Same...
I have 2018 and I want to exchange it for this baby, it's so good
and the screen? compared to a mac book (basic) ?
Hi, very good video
Do you think this 15.6" laptop will fit in a backpack with laptop space of 15"?obviously forcing it
Pros and cons? And aswell as this how much charge and does it come with a built in mic?
OOHHHH Very nice. Great video.
I’ve been here before it was mainstream
I'm getting this laptop next month, I'm so excited because it's my first laptop
So did you get one? How does it fair against the newer model huawei matebook 14? Planning to get one too.
Does this come with device encryption enabled? Loved the video, thanks!
Is it good for softwares such as auto cad and engineering software pla tell me if its good or if its not please recommend me to a goood laptop with a good budget for a student pls asap thank you

Please Review the 14 inch one
The 14 inch one is one inch smaller.
Hi I found your review very helpful but would like advice if this be suitable for a 10 year old for mainly schoolwork but also for playing Minecraft.
Just bought this laptop had to do a lot of research and considering the budget and where I live cuz options are limited here, this was probably my best choice in my opinion for now
May i know after a year is it still a good choice to buy this model?
14” version has much better battery life and backlit keyboard.
One important thing about 15” version, is that you can install additional 2.5” hard/ssd drive into it easily
Which is better huawei matebook D 15or asus vivobook x512dk?
Extra ram?
When can we buy laptops with Ryzen 4000?
Nice video!
From march I think!
@@Thetechchap they are going to be more expensive tho as amd knows that they have an advantage over Intel on these CPUs so will not be giving them away
Just Bought one, having a HP dv7 which gets hot & shuts down with thermal overload, and takes 5 minutes to load up, after installing win 10 over 7 pro, win 10. actually killed it...period.. For everyday work, and bits of fun here & there, & of course I have Huawei smart phone, makes a lot of sense. So we shall see.. give it some time, but for £499 interest free on amazon over 12 months...? Well....! .thanks for the review, worts & all...!!!
