When the topic of flagship laptops is brought up, some of the things that might cross your mind are probable jaw-dropping design, outstanding performance, visionary capabilities, right? Essentially, a flagship laptop should stand out in every aspect with high-end specifications and features that enhance the overall user experience. This is what Huawei did with its newly released HUAWEI MateBook X Pro: It comes with a new, unique and minimalist design highlighted by a 3.1K Real Colour FullView Display and an ultra-slim magnesium alloy body. Its robust performance has been boosted thanks to the EvoTM certified 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor in addition to the futuristic Super Device features which re-define the smart flagship laptop experience, allowing the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro to set itself as the new benchmark in that segment.

 3.1K Real Colour FullView Display + Ultra-Slim Magnesium Alloy Body

 The new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro features a 14.2-inch screen with 3.1K (3120 x 2080) high resolution and 264 PPI. The screen does not show graininess when viewed from a normal reading distance. The new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro features a 14.2-inch HUAWEI Real Colour FullView Display that supports precision 10-point high-sampling-rate touch control. It maintains Huawei's advantages in the display field in four dimensions, being clear, smooth, authentic and comfortable. Huawei has introduced more industry-leading breakthroughs including Universal Colour Consistency and professional anti-reflection, making Huawei’s professional display a benchmark in the industry. In addition to a refresh rate of up-to 90 Hz[1] browsing files, glancing pop-up comments in videos, playing games and more will all look and feel smooth. A laptop with excellent colour gamut performance will be important for professionals who need accurate colour reproduction during retouching and colour correction. The new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro supports the film-grade P3 wide colour gamut. P3 now exhibits a 20% larger colour gamut than sRGB for the commonly used red and green. The new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro has reached the colour accuracy of ΔE<1[2] in the P3 colour gamut and sRGB colour gamut. It has also passed the TÜV Rheinland Pro-level Colour Accuracy with Dual-Colour Gamut Certification[3], the most professional screen colour certification standard of TÜV Rheinland. HUAWEI MateBook X Pro managed to achieve a 92.5% screen-to-body ratio with the top bezel being just 6 mm wide, meaning Huawei lead the industry in this regard. The laptop weighs just 1.26 kg[4], making it highly portable. The surface of the cover has a unique matte finish that delivers a warm and comfortable touch. Together with the all-new Ink Blue colour (the Premium Edition), it offers a new sensory experience, and reveals the exceptional taste of its users. Huawei introduced the laptop with a Skin-soothing metallic body, delivering a unique matte surface. Such surface design has a skin-friendly feel and offers a comfortable grip. What’s more, the innovative Micro-arc Oxidation Coating process is applied to the magnesium alloy airy body, which not only improves the hardness and wear resistance of the product body, but also makes the production process more environmentally friendly. Huawei also innovatively applied a Skin-soothing Metallic paint process on the surface of the cover, which gives the body a matte finish.

HUAWEI MateBook X Pro features a powerful 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor in a lightweight body, powered by the advanced Intel 7 process and Core™ i7-1260P. More importantly, a new performance hybrid architecture is adopted for the new processor. It consists of four Performance-cores and eight Efficient-cores, which add up to 12 cores and 16 threads. The multi-core performance is improved by 60% compared with previous generation products[5].
