What features would make the perfect laptop for you?
The Verge an SD card slot
The Verge How about repairability and upgradeability?
I just want a phone that's also a laptop when I dock it.
Stupid Verge. Stop sucking up to them and be more unbiased.
upgradability and good battery.
“Just $1500”
To a broke student such as myself, that price made me spit out my ramen.
Kalen McNamara I feel you 😢😢
He didn't say it was cheap.
Look how many students in your classrooms have macs. Students do spend that much.
same, i just bought the new Yoga 730 13" that came out last month with the 8th Gen Intel CPU for $750, exactly half as much as this one. Gotta say my new Yoga stacks up pretty nicely against "the best laptop"according to the Verge...Aside from value, i got the exact same I/O, fingerprint sensor, very good KB/mouse, an aluminum chassis and body with similar bezels, convertible form and touchscreen. Also prefer buying from Lenovo to Huawei... My only negatives would be the screen brightness and battery life which is like 8 hours, but at $750 its an amazing laptop.
Ummmm the Yoga 730 definitely does not have similar bezels. These bezels are small all around. Also the fingerprint sensor is not built into power button which allows it to log you in immediately upon starting it. But the price difference is huge. You also probably got the i5 version with only 8gb of ram while this is the i7 with 16gb of ram. You don't even get a 512gb of storage. The Yoga also doesn't include a discrete graphics card
This is a very impressive laptop and it offers great value. I am blown away by what Hauwei was able to pull off, especially given that they don’t have much history or experience in the PC/laptop space. They have really engineered the hang out of this thing. The fact that it runs Windows 10 Signature edition and the webcam is hidden in the keyboard (i.e. disabled), helps them overcome the privacy and security concerns that some paranoid countries have toward Huawei products.
It maybe their second laptop, but i bet they have hired some very experienced designers and engineers who have many years of previous experience into laptop design in their resume. It is obvious.
Foxconn is in china . It produces, Apple, Dell, HP , Toshiba . So it would produce huawei too. The thing is huawei would accepts less win for better quality . Like apple . If you want a good quality Dell or HP , you have to spend the same amount you pay on a Apple laptop
It’s called IP theft my friend.
Regarding battery life:
"It's actually better than Dell's comparable XPS13 or the Touchbar Macbook Pro"
So, uh, why was that listed as a complaint? Especially since those two laptops are considered to have some of the best battery life on the market?
I'm more baffled by how 7 hours of battery life on this things is "comparable" to 10 hours on MBPs.
Huawei is moving fast in the tech sector.
E Cognitio Huawei has always been only in the tech sector. But yes, they are moving very fast.
Not anymore, I don't think that they will recover for what just happened to them now. I actually think that if Huawei doesn't do anything drastic to get out of the situation they are in, they will probably end up going out of business. 😔
Ahm ahm.
@@nd-rt7dl the world is so much bigger than the us lol
@@nd-rt7dl nah they are not out of business at all
That webcam placement is smarttttt if you really needed a webcam just buy a dedicated one because built in ones I cover and think everyone should for safety reasons but the MateBook solves everything lol.
considering the bad trend of 2018, it should fix the cam on top with a notch xD
This made my day | Thanks
Anid bro i think the notch isnt to bad thats ur opinion
not cool bro, leave laptop alone, with iPad Pro probably getting a notch, we have to keep laptop world untarnished.
Aaron Yeung, actually, if the notch only holds the camera, it would be quite small. The bezels would do thin then
Freeze Gamer
I don't have any problems with having a notch on my phone, I'm also planning on getting the new oneplus 6 this month. However, it won't be cool if it's on your laptop. You're playing PUBG with a notch on your laptop, it wouldn't be very appropriate.
And I still think that the Zephyrus M GM501 is the best thus far.
A better title for this would be ‘the perfect ultrabook’, I think the perfect laptop would probably be something like the Razer Blade 15.
Although having said that there are changes that could be made to both.
This is very useful, thank you Dan! Am buying this one today! Was on the fence due to the camera, but I’m thinking, for calls, will just prop it over some books to avoid a double chin view ! Your review helped to push me in the right direction.
Huawei is definitely making some great stuff, espically these past few years. Shame that their phones aren't easy to get in the US.
true...P9 pro is a superb phone
Because US government suspects Huawei threatens US, they are paranoid or just use it as excuse to block Huawei to come in US? Either way, this shows US government is not self confident any more...
-Donald Trump.-
Security reasons.
Huawei doing this.
Huawei doing that.
America:Hold my beer!
Yeah good laptop, the logo ruins it.
So true
I love that logo
Are you buying the logo ?#brainwash lol
Kamykaze Axel it looks so awkward. I think they should have just keep the logo or the text. Their logo isn’t well designed so keeping it simple would have made it a lot easier on the eyes. The biggest problem is the color choice though. They should have went full black like Dell in its XPS.
There are lots of things to consider when buying a laptop and there you are who only buys the "LOGO". lol
I have an HP x360 since feb 2016. i7, 8 gb ram, 256 SSD, full HD touchscreen, huge track pad, convertible, good battery life. Got it refurbished for just $680 in the US. Still working really, really good. If I had to buy a new one now, I'll probably go for a similar one but with OLED display (and thinner edges, if possible).
Really really good video, Dan! This laptop is probably the best I've used in this class too.
Typing this from a MBXP...easily one of the best laptops I've ever had. My only gripe is that it runs a bit on the hot side, but everything else is top notch. Performance, sound, and screen are second to none. And for the price, I got it on student discount from Microsoft when the laptop first came out...there was NO competition. It's 2019 and a 2018 laptop is still the laptop of the year, in my opinion!
“Sees the camera” That’s it, I’m buying this!!
The pop-up camera idea is *smart* , just put it on top - think about it, a neat screen edge & no need to tape it for extra privacy.
"This is the best laptop."
Plays the video...
"This is not the best laptop."
Disliked
Antoine Durieux he said *not the perfect laptop* he still said the best.
No ears apparently
It’s the verge cancer
Immediately subscribed to vergescience! Feelin' very excited about the contents! Kudos, team Verge!
My TV has 98% screen to body ratio because it is so large with slim bezels. So having higher screen to body ratio than a smartphone isnt that hard and I feel like these channels try to come up with too many points in a video, too many points that isnt that thought out either.
the point is that the screen is bigger than the 13"/15" spec would lead you to believe. The 13" model is more like a 14" laptop because the bezels are so narrow.
@@schroederluck7984 the laptop sizes are measured by screen diagonals, not the actual size of the body. Therefore, it just has the same size screen in a smaller body, not a bigger screen in a normal sized body. Hopefully that made sense
Wow I have literally been deciding btwn the Blade Stealth and XPS 13 for months. I went into the Microsoft store yesterday and instantly fell in love with this laptop over all the others. This video just gave me so much gratification I can't wait to pick it up on Thursday!
Some things to consider from an Amazon Reviewer after 1 week’s usage:
Build Quality: After a few days of use, the laptop started to creak when I pick it up. I tried tightening the screws, but that didn't fix it. Very irritating. The USB C ports are also VERY tight. It feels like I'm going to break something when I remove the charging connector.
Touchpad: It's a Precision touchpad, but it sure doesn't feel like it. It doesn't even compare to the Surface touchpads. Even the "click" is very cheap feeling. Not to mention, the touchpad rattles quite a bit. Not what I expected for a $1500 device.
Coil Whine: Similar to the older Dell XPS 13, this unit has quite a bit of coil whine. It's amplified when plugged in. This is pretty unfortunate, but some people won't notice it.
Fan Noise: It's pretty much always on. It's not obnoxious, but it's loud enough to hear it in a very quiet room. If the laptop isn't plugged in and is on power saver mode, the fans do quiet down. On (almost) every other laptop, the fan is actually connected to a metal heatsink. On this laptop, there's about 0.5cm of space between the fan and the heatsink. This is just bad design and incredibly inefficient.
My own concern: What kind of tech support can you expect from Huawei in the U.S.? Not good I imagine. With all of these issues this is far from the best laptop. Cool, light design with tiny bezels on a 3:2 screen, I love that part, but coil whine, fan noise, bad trackpad, creaky body, etc. PLUS likely lousy support? No thanks.
Robert Ratskywatsky Yes. All these negative traits are significant, and the coil whine is a huge problem! You have to listen to these reviewers and realize they are not necessarily experts, and are under pressure to to create videos and have something to say that will get clicks.
my friend bought a Benz CLA 2017, the car completely stopped during driving multiple times. Benz cant locate the issues, and they will only promise fixing it, but the problem kept coming back, she decided to return the lease(this is scary if it happens during driving). I would say this is way more significant than the 'your significant traits'. Benz is prestigious brand, but it still produces lemon car. my point is you have to determine this is a general problem or specific issue with one laptop. can do you do more research than just one review to be accurate?
I was just started to think i wish i bought this instead of macbook pro and saw your comment i glad i didnt do that
I own the Matebook X Pro and don't have any of those issues. But ya the trackpad is a little mediocre tbh. Don't think I've ever even heard the fan.
Im probably going to try it out then return it if it doesn't seem good.
My future laptop right there, I can’t believe the fact that Huawei has improved so much, from crappy and tiny phones to one of the market competitors today.
the logo on the back is a dealbreaker for me 🙂
Buy a matte finish space grey sticker🙂
We need more 3:2 aspect ratio Windows laptops, it is perfect and gives us more real estate at the same size vs 16:9. I brushed this laptop off until you guys mentioned the 3:2, now I am seriously considering getting one.
"Light Gaming" *Proceeds to play GTA V at 1080p medium on my laptop with an MX150*
Nice.
Well tbh not really that impressive, light gaming sounds pretty good
I mean, I can play some decently intensive games on it. Modern games if I OC it. It's Pascal, so I'm hittin 1949 MHz on it all day long.
That game come out in 2013. It's 5 years old. I'd call it light gaming too. Edit: PC port was in 2015
GTA V is a more CPU intensive game than GPU intensive, so the quad-core i7 in the Matebook will run it just fine. The MX150 just helps it out
love the webcam design, I don't use mine at all. Looks like this laptop is next on my to buy list
When they put a period on the title, you Know they're serious.
Hey, the Lenovo Yoga 920 laptop is only 1,300$ and can be used as a tablet(includes a bluetooth stylus)
and has about 7 hours of battery life. The touch pad supports every gesture and the display is very bright and vibrant. The webcam is in the traditional position so the angle isn’t weird, and the speakers are surprisingly loud and clear. It only has a couple of ports ( not the best) but apart from that it’s an extremely light and portable work machine( has i7 gen 8 processor)
Lot of macbook users in the comments..
Do you think this laptop will last for a while working decetly? Ty
Title: This is the Best Laptop.
First Sentence: This is NOT the Perfect Laptop 💻
im planning on buying this for my dad on his birthday !! do they have 2nd HDD installed in it? or just SSD ?
Yes it is a nice laptop but the fact that I'd have to import from it China to the UK makes me worry should it ever break and need to be repaired especially as it is not a cheap laptop
Amazed that this comes from Huawei. Love the 3:2 aspect ratio as well, should make life as a programmer way easier.
So right now in Germany you can‘t buy the version with the i7 and MX150, but the i5 version is 1099€ here.
I think the price is very low for what you get, 1499€ as said in the video would be a bit too much, but for 1099€ its well priced.
lol, wut? Where did you find it for 1100? The cheapest I can find is 1400... and the 16Gb version is 1800...
I have a MacBook Air and I use an USB webcam (because Apple's webcam is a joke), so this would not be a deal breaker. But I invested into OSX, therefore Windows is no option.
I would be happy if i can afford it..:(
Bhuvanesh M.S even if I could buy it I wouldn't
Hi, Thanks for the review. I have a question: Does this laptop is good for illustration, graphic design and sketching software? Does It can handle all this apps, a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 tablet and perform good enough as a MacBook Pro?
Looks like a pretty slick laptop!
Great review! This 💻 looks nice and I like what they did with the camera, that’s cool idea!
Apart from the obvious design "borrowing", the laptop looks beautiful!
How does it compare to the surface pro? Which would you buy?
The XPS 13 that you tested has a 4K screen lol.
Edit: The 1080p screen has 11 hours of battery life.
This channel is getting better and better with reviews
>not a thinkpad
pantuflacosmica eww thinkpads
PizzaProGaming eww you. This is a stunning laptop for sure but thinkpads are awesome. Especially the x1 carbons. Those are in leagues of their own well above the rest!
Eventus Vantos I don't like the ThinkPad keyboards they look ancient and old
PizzaProGaming they're incredible to use.
PizzaProGaming no they look nice simple and timeless but even if you don't like the looks which is subjective.. they are very durable and last a long time and feel great to type on.
Can you please reply soonest. I have just completed my studies as a programmer. Which latop should I get. Is the Huawei good for programming.
but CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?
Yes plus thunderbolt helps to plug in a GPU
Great video! I picked mine up 2 weeks ago and have loved every minute of it. Its a beautiful device inside and out.
The 2-lane Thunderbolt port (max 20Gbps)is a dealbreaker for me.
I need this, with a 1050Ti, 15” screen, correct webcam placement, and an SD slot. That’d be perfect
You can buy Lenovo Yoga 910 with the price of 900 USD and with even more battery life.
Someone brave enough finally said it. Others were just waiting for someone to say it.
"The best laptop". No decent graphic card. Arround 1.300€. What?
I’m curious, you say that the battery life on the Matebook is a deal breaker but that it’s better than the 2 comparisons you had it up against?
Another deal breaker you forgot to mention: the Big Brother is watching!
Can I use this laptop for 3D animation? which will be my future career. Like is it compatible enough? what will you recommend?
"Best"" Laptop?
What a joke, no such thing exist.
All kinds of people want all kinds of different features in a laptop.
Which one you recommend? Huawei matebook X pro or the Lenovo C930?
MacBook Pro worth = 0 now
That’s great where can I buy one
I want to get this but I'm worried about customer support in case sometimes goes wrong like 10 months or 2 years down the line. How has it been holding up, for everyone that has one?
MateBook X Pro
MacBook Pro
*_Hmh......._*
hey the Verge, can you tell me something i can not find this information anywhere!
Is the thunderbolt a 2x PCIe or a 4x PCIe ??
Thanks alot! Keep up the great work
genium me 4x PCIe. look up MobileTechReviews review they go into the more technical features of this laptop
Jahaziel Rodriguez thank you soooo much for that answer!!!
Where is ‘Includes Paid Promotion’ disclaimer?
tokuchaan why because a reviewer says a product is good it has to be a paid promotion?😂
tokuchaan just cuz your a Apple fan boy doesn’t mean other computers can’t be better
tokuchaan he said that the camera is terrible and that it copied apple. Do you think the company would let him say things like that if they paid him ?
I bought one the day it came out on Amazon but it's been out of stock ever since and hasn't shipped. Anyone else experience this?
That's a funny way of spelling Pixelbook/MSI GT80
4:38 "it's just 1500"
For a guy like me. It's more than you could imagine :T
if this was macbook pro, it will be definietly be perfect., lol
I was sold when you popped the webcam out of the keyboard. TAKE MY MONEY
"This is not a perfect laptop"
"This is the best laptop"
k.
*Brillant camera placement*
My dream laptop.
Pianodude 5 samee
ur dream is full of trash
yeah thanks, u too
The webcam almost kills it for me, but looks like a great laptop all around!!
8 hrs of battery life is a compromise ? who on earth is watching this "reviewer" 😂
Wow. Love the laptop and the video. Thanks Verge.
Nowhere near LG Gram 2018 even the price yet this channel boldly claims the best laptop. BIG fail the verge. A very big fail.
Bobby Roberts are you kidding me? Lmao this blows the LG out of the water in build quality, design, display, and speakers.
Huawei pay more than LG lol and apple never pay.......
Griffin Dobbins what buid quality, lg gram withstands drop like nobody and that alone deserves its crown. Have you seen any laptop super thin and light yet military grade certified? Thats the most important feature to laptop. Screen may not be as high res but very good quality and allow 10 hour battery. Lg gram picks the right choice of specs. While I believe there are many laptops like Matebook so it doesn't stand out.
Bobby Roberts Military Grade Drop Certification isn’t hard to get.
Hyc try to tell that huawei
You forgot to add this: This is the best laptop for rich people.
I thought it was $100-$130
OMG dat music ...
No webcam, excellent battery life to performance. FULL SIZE ARROW KEYS. And at minimum a 14 inch screen. Also backlit keys, don’t need rgb white is perfect.
This Is NOT the best Laptop. PERIOD.
Zipo214 ever heard of an educated opinion?
So what is the best laptop according to you?
Patrik Kron lenovo thinkpad p51comes closest in my mind.
The best display you can get on a laptop both resolution and gamut wise.
Dedicated workstation graphic card
Built in screen calibraton
Ports for every occasions, thunderbolt, Ethernet, HDMI AND Dp, card reader, hell even a express card slot as well as a smart card reader.
Expandable storage and ram, actual mechanical hard drive slot instead of m2 or soldered on storage.
Easy to maintain and repair
(Relative)compact size
And finally, a case that can actually take a beating instead of only existing on Starbuck coffee table.
This is a computer that can get the work done, and not a glorified iPad or a Xbox on steroids.
yet it's thick and ugly as hell
I can not agree with that. It's a 15,6" laptop and weights 2,5 kilos.
(Although it might be the best one for you)
Whilst almost everything you write is great, the portability suffers from the computer being so large and heavy.
For me I want a laptop that's as small as possible, without compromising keyboard, trackpad and a high-resolution screen. For me it should be in the 12-13" range, have a great battery, and not feel slow for everyday use (no dedicated graphics required).
Pretty straight forward video. Loved it!
So a macbook pro clone with a weird webcam position, somehow becomes the best laptop?? wow !!!!
Are laptops with cpu architecture level fix for the spectre / meltdown bugs coming out any time soon?
Macbook Pro speakers are better then this (or any other) laptop's speakers, tried both of them myself, don't go claiming the *best* without testing both of them together.
pretty suyre something like an aleinware 17 has better speakers
Alienware speakers are loud not clear, many laptops have louder speakers, but the sound quality is something that is unmatched in a macbook pro.
+Satwik Singh.....even if we assume you're right, who uses internal laptop speakers? when I'm out and about I use headphones, when I'm at home I plug into actual speakers, and why not have something like a ue boom 2 with you if sound quality is a huge deal. if you just want to show a freind a youtube video when you're out than the added volume from the alienware is surely a benefit
we got it... youre a macbook fan... good for ya
You think TheVerge (super Apple fans) didnt compare the speaker with MacBook Pro ? :P
Just so you know, the laptop had no available networks to connect to but somehow managed to open TH-cam. 10/10.
Is is powerful enough for coding tasks? I am thinking on working with Visual Studio...
From where do you buy it for 1500$? I cant find it anywhere for that price, its either "out of stock" or more expensive like 1800$ on amazon. But every video says 1500$
This laptop seems awesome! If I did not get a brand new fully specd Dell XPS13 last year I would definitely be in market for this one
I love how you said in europe it's more expensive and that it's only $1200 in the US. Europe includes taxes on their prices. 1200 depending on where you buy it can be $1350 easily because of tax.
do you think that lower end version would have substantially better battery life?
My MacBook pro from 2014 just broke and so i'm looking for a new laptop, you guys might have just saved me.
I like the Lenovo 720S 14" $839 US. 8500U, MX150, 256GB SSD, 8 GB RAM. Makes me happy
Which one should I buy? Microsoft surface book 2 or huawei matebook x pro?
if you can buy the surface book 2 with dedicated graphics, then the surface.
Any info if this is coming out in Australia? I would love to buy this.
Definitely planning on picking one of these up in the near future!
Does it withstand military tests? How does it compare to the Lenovo Thinkpad X ?
"Perfect" and "Windows" are two words that should never exist in the same sentence let alone the same thought.
I have the LG Gram 13" 2018 and that is undoubtedly the best laptop. Magnesium alloy design, which makes it one of the lightest laptops in the world, a feature that has grown on me a lot. The keyboard and trackpad are amazing, as is the screen with it's tiny bezels (though it's only 1080p, but still good enough for me). Fingerprintscanner in the power button, latest gen internals, all the ports one can imagine (HDMI, USB-A, USB-C (thunderbolt on 15"), ...). The only downside is that is doesn't have dedicated graphics, but that's not really a problem for me. And last but not least, it's proven to have one of the - if not the - best battery life of all laptops: I can easily reach 13h of medium to heavy use and sometimes 17h-18h with web browsing, I never need to take my charger with me when I go home for the weekend. The base model costs around $1,100, but it's totally worth it!
Oh and I almost forget that it was tested one of the most durable laptops ever tested :)
Is this good for programming??? Or are there better cheaper brands available?
this laptop not recommended
Thank U for this video. I need a new laptop and never knew about this brand's laptops. I only knew of their phones. Thanks again!
