Your attention to detail and thorough testing has made you my go to laptop reviewer. Not being sponsored by laptop makers makes you really credible and I appreciate this. All other reviewers pretty much copy one another. Once you see one you have seen them all. Really, 10K subs doesn't do you justice. Thanks for your effort. Keep it up.
Thank you so much! It's steadily moving up both in views and subscribers. I wish I would have a bit more ad revenue to cover laptop purchases but that should also come as time goes by :)
Thanks to your review, I bought this machine 7 months ago (right by the time the review was released) and since then, I am absolutely in love with it. As an architect, this has been the best laptop I've invested in so far. Thank you!
In Austria I can now get the Matebook 14 for 670 € and the Matebook 14s for 870(!) That's a very good price but I'm still not sure because of the fan of the 14s. Some users report disturbing fan noise. The design, display and keyboard are absolutely stunning. Thank you for your very good reviews!
A tip for the fingerprint sensor when turning it on is to hold your finger there for like 1 to 2 secs then it will load you in. If you tap it quickly it doesn't work you need to hold it for atleast a second.
Legend!! I just tried that and it worked perfectly! Just holding the power button one second at startup logged me right in. I really didn't think about that. I'm so used to the fingerprint reader of my phone being incredibly fast and enough to just touch it briefly.
Man thank you very much i was locking for some info about the ports for like 2 months and you really gave me all the info about the ports and even other things!! Keep it up i wish you good luck!💖
Thanks for the review, i would like to explain the difference between performance and balanced modes, the CPU draw 40-42 Watts of power in both modes, however it drops to 35 watts after 10 minutes in balance mode while in performance mode it can be sustained at 42 watts. Try to run the R23 benchmark for 30 minutes and you will see the difference in results. When it comes to CPU temperature it's obvious that 108 is not ideal temperature for the laptop to work at, it's short spikes i believe and average temperature will be in the range of 90 ?!
Thanks for the input! I will def. do this in a more full on benchmark and CPU test video. I wanted to not include as much benchmark stuff here as the video would have been 45 mins then :P Very greatful for the input!
I purchased this laptop 6 months ago based on your review. Indeed it is a brilliant machine and I have enjoyed it so far. Especially the keyboard. There is something special about it that makes typing much faster that my Macbook Air. I am now looking for a 27'' monitor to use with this laptop. Because I was not sure if the usbc port supports display towards the monitor and power from the monitor at the same time I decided to contact Huawei support. They informed me that I can't make use of the usb port for both power and display. The even told me to buy a Matedock (😂). Then I watched again your review and found out that they probably dont know what they are talking about. I can see from your review that it works just fine. Thanks for that. I woud have used the hdmi instead. I really enjoy your reviews. Keep it going!!!
@@ICTechProductionsI think it is a brilliant laptop for home use. The aspect ratio and the qhd resolution provides enough space to work on. Battery is ok.

Great video and review, super informative and straight to the point. I know You already sold this laptop but, do You remember if it have display out through USB C?
Good test, thx man. Can you say something to the clockspeed in a stress test for the cpu after some minutes? Is it still over 2,5ghz or lower over all cores?
i bought this matebook 14 amd 2020 4600H , it's a better value than the lenovo ideapad 14 amd or intel. the build quality is amazing, it looks like a macbook all metal and the keyboard and trackpad are better than the latest released AIR and pro. it's better than lenvo because its all metal , no plastic and it cost less in France around 800 and even 750 euro when there is a discount. i tried GTA 5 , it works great witth 30 fps. the screen is 2K and has good brightness 300+ nits. i am well satisfied. the fingerprint can sometimes not work properly but nothing to worry about.
Nice review, congratulations. I'm worried about the high temperature while doing benchmarks, what do you think? Will it damage the laptop a few years from now? I'm also considering they new matebook D16 R5, same cpu and a new cooling system.
I agree that they are a bit worrying but since i basically never max the laptop out like in a stress test I'm not so worried. The CPU should be specd to hold 105 degrees. I feel like there should be a way to keep it below that
Bought it for 950$ with hp bag, mousepad, plastic case, laser engraving russian keys, in condition "used, but like a new". Nice notebook, thank you for the review. Will try downvolting because 108 degrees in hard mode is not good
Did you check performance at battery power? My Matebook D14 is limited in battery mode to 2400MHz, only at AC it reaches 3700MHz. I expect such limitation in Matebook 14 too, could you check Geekbench or Cinebench?
Hey man, your reviews are great! Keep up the good work! This Matebook 14 is currently on a sale for 800 euros in my country. Could please share how it stacks up versus the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7? Do you think this laptop is a very good offer for 800 euro? Thanks :)
I think that's insane value. If you don't need thunderbolt or two usb c ports it's the best. I'm working on my comparison video right now. Yoga slim 7 vs matebook 14, but i have a lot of daytime work that takes priority right now. I hope to have it up soon though.
Hej! Thanks for the review. I liked the video as I saw it! Should a person who isn't in a hurry about buying a new laptop wait for Ryzen 5000 CPUs? I ain't need a PC right now but definitely considering to replace my current one. What do you suggest about new generation CPUs, for both Intel and AMD and even M1?
I think if you're not in a hurry you should def. wait for the next gen. Maybe the performance upgrade isn't huge, but it's just nice to future proof. M1 is amazing value but can't run 2 external screens which for me is a deal breaker. Intel 11th gen is great too. I need to test an i7 to see how it compares to i5 but the performance to price to heating ratio on my 1135g7 has been great. So it's a hard choice to make at this point!
I will comment for the first time. I bought Matebook 14 by watching the video. I'd like to add an eGPU, but it's not officially compatible with Thunderbolt, so I'm looking for information. It may not be perfect, Can I connect egpu to Matebook14 and use an external graphics board? If so, I'm thinking of buying an eGPU. I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
Thanks a bunch! I would prefer this because of the port selection, but for davinci resolve I think m1 would be better. However as a work/casual gaming laptop I think this is amazing. M1 for gaming is a bit so so... It's really hard to answer though, and tbh I feel like I should get an M1 to make these comparisons! It's probably time for that.
@M P I ordered the m1 today for 1179 euro. The price of the Matebook 14 with ryzen 5, 16gb ram and 512 gb storage (no touchscreen) was 999 euro. This afternoon dropped to 899 euro. I hope this m1 is as good as they say.
again and again, very good review. but little advise, you probably need to review about huawei share which is a part of huawei ecosystem. that its, thanks very much w2
Thanks for the feedback! I think I should pick up a Huawei flagship phone at some point to be able to make videos about huawei share! Thanks for the input! I will save it for a future video! :)
I had the same choice and I've gone for Matebook. I really liked the screen, built and the overall feel of Matebook a lot more, so it was an easy choice once I saw them personally in a store, even though when I watched reviews of them I could not pick my favourite and they seemed kind of identical to me
huawei matebook -14 -intel i5 -(2021) vs asus -zenbook- 13,3 inch - intel i5 which one you recommend for me ? my casual use is office and alo of productivity and reading
thank you so much. I love Huawei but laptop temperature is a downer. Hope they make it to ARM CPU/GPU to be a powerful & power efficient a laptops like the Apple M1 CPUs
Any thoughts on the thinkbook 14p gen 2 ? With, ryzen 5000, 16:10 , 14 inch, ports in the back and good screen seems like could be a good alternative to Yoga Pro .
Wait - ports in the back?! I haven't seen this one I think! I've only seen the regular thinkbook 14 and it seems lovely! Also the yoga version seems great! I've been so heavy on lenovo though I think my next laptop for review will be an MSI.
Hi Sir... i just bought this laptop yesterday due to yr review. I noticed today that while charging the laptop gets hot to the extent that the fans run guite loud. The heat is especially noticeable on the left palm rest and keyboard area. Do you have this kind of issue?
I don't have any issues when charging! Not with the regular charger or with my monitor that powers it. But there has been some other people asking about this. So it might be an issue that is there in some units.
For sure. I think it's very well suited for that. Ryzen 7 is for sure more powerful. I don't know how much though since i haven't tried the h cpu difference
I have a question about fan noise and temperatures. I bought the same configuration week ago and now I'm struggling with the noise of the fans. Fans are turning on on idle, when watching youtube, during teams conversation. Usage of CPU is always around 5% which is very low, the processor consumes less than 5W of power and the temp is around 37 degrees. It is very annoying that fans are blowing all the time even if it feirly cold. Do you have the same issue?
I have almost the oppsite issue. The fans never turn on even when I believe they should. When stress testing and the cpu hits 108 degrees you hear the fans - but not much. I really feel like it should be spinning more at that point. I didn't have any issues from start either - so it's not due to upgrades of firmware. It's very strange you have that issue!
@@w2best Tech after unboxing I upgraded windows and all drivers. I believe that Huawei messed up firmware. I found that the Huawei matebook d14 have the same issue and it happens after upgrading bios drivers. That's pretty strange. I contacted Huawei but, for now, no response. (My bios firmware is 1.10 you can check your version in PC Manager from Huawei). Fan during teams convesation is just annoying......
Great review, but mate, you´ve been doing something wrong if your laptop reaches 104 degrees celsius in cinebench R23. I have ran it for a solid 3 times in a row with my matebook 14 and i get 72°C max. !!! maybe something with your cooler!?
@@w2best yes the 4600H, but i was watching CPU temp. in task manager. Might be the difference!? But anyhow, even after 3x cinebench R23, my laptop didnt felt really ,,hot,, underneath. Just warm to the touch. That doesen´t really ,,feel,, like 100°C+ in the CPU. Tell me the application you are using to messure the temps and ill update you what i get :)
Sir, why my Huawei Matebook D14 AMD Ryzen 7 didnt use the glossy screen and it didnt have any problem of glare because not using glossy screen. only normal screen.
@@w2best That’s why I bought it yesterday because of your high quality feel comment. You say it like you mean it. 😂 Seriously though it’s really nice and I’ve had MacBooks before and it’s up there. The speakers could be a little loud but otherwise cpu is fast. Swapped to 500GB SD with Samsung 980 Pro and it’s pretty quick.
Hi! can you make a video on a eGPU support with this laptop? I am wondering if it would be worth the investment to play some high details game at full hd.
well Sir, I just bought this and you are partly to blame :) let's see when it arrives... Tbh I don't think windows world can compete with apple's quality. Even the new a1s can be bought for around 1000 Euros now.. but I needed a Windows computer and this looks great for the price!!! Thank you for the review
Hi, I'm thinking about getting this laptop or the ideapad 5 (ryzen 7 4700u). I prefer the matebook 14 but I'm concerned about the high temperatures. What's your opinion on the matebook's temperatures? I will use it mostly for programming (visual studio)
excellent content. i'm a big huawei fan (last 3 consecutive cellphones)...but will skip this laptop model. online camera & mic is 40% of my work day (nice privacy flip-up concept, but absolutely terrible placement...nostril-view...ha ha)...& the microphone sounded like the old 'piece of string with 2 tin cans' from my childhood? i think they are still learning...it's still early days for them with laptops...so i will try the next version in a couple of years with minimum 2 x usb-c & without the other issues you highlighted. i am a bit sad...but can now better make my decision for april on my other 3 finalists: lenovo flex, acer spin or HP envy...(funny thing, all 14 inch 2-in-1's? & the best-looking one right [both specs/performance & aesthetically pleasing] now combines 2 of my least favourite tech brands: HP & Intel...oh well?) unless of course there is no stock of the others on the day...& i can convince the store to throw in a free 1080P (non usb-c) webcam? it's different here in africa, man. keep up the great work...going to quickly search for your flex review i saw a while ago...& what i can find on the other 2. 👊🏻
Lenovo Flex 5? It doesn't have displayport out in the usb c which is an absolute deal breaker for me. HP envy looks like the nicest of those three to me. But also the Asus 2 in 1 with 11th gen I think looks pretty good. I totally agree on the mic quality. It's a pity but I haven't had any complain'ts on it which surprises me. I haven't reviewed the flex because of the displayport thing. But i hope there's an upgrade at some point!
@@w2best thanks...will look at the Asus zenbook flip 14 inch...was the first one i considered, but was about 50% more expensive than the others about a month ago & they only had that terrible blue colour in stock...will search again now for updates.
Is it just on my copy or the screen is a bit shifted towards a yellow-greenish tint? Tried to tweak it with Radeon app but it didn't go away. Does anyone know how to fix it?
@@jordant993 Hi Jordan. I'm thinking of getting started. As you're a few months in do you have any recommendations on sites to learn on that have been good for you? Thanks.
Thanks so much for this review, its so helpful for me who is looking into this, perhaps of the ram was 16gb, you think it will be good for video editing?
@@w2best sorry i was so excited and i wrote in my language "turkish". Translation is : Bro, you are the best reviewer in the world. I learned very useful details from your videos. Thanks and keep doing this reviews."
wow, I got this on launch day, In the UK i got the ryzen 5 4600h 256gb, I got it for £675 (790 euro) and I got a free Huawei matepad 10.4 tablet. Everythings fine for me, though i definitely wish for more RAM and the SSD is so tightly screwed in I couldn't replace it
In Poland there were a discount on the Huawei consumer page and I got the same configuration as in film for 2950 zł which is 650 euro which is great deal i think
I'm a professional photographer and filmaker and I use this laptop to render 4k or 1080p project on davinci resolve 17 studio without problems. I have Zero crashes.
Really! I wonder if the studio and the free version are different? It's great to hear you have no issues. I couldn't do anything basicly before it stopped working.
@@w2best There is a fix for your problem. This is what you have to do : go to the official radeon website and try a older driver. Try the version 20.9.2 it will work.
I purchased the Ryzen 7. 16/512 for 780 euros a few days ago and it is a superb little computer for the money and very fast, the only thing I have noticed is it is giving me headaches !!. Has anyone else had this using this kind of screen?. It could be the glossy screen or the IPS having an effect. As a side note Windows 11 is working fine on my model.
@@w2best Yes that is on about 50% but I have now just found the blue eye saver screen so that helps while working on office documents. I have also been reading about IPS displays and it does effect quite a lot of people although it seems no one has fully investigated different screens and the real problems they can cause people. Thanks for your reply.
Very sorry about the messy audio at some parts here! I will improve!
The reason could that the mic input is too loud. You can try reducing it and then equilize it in post production with audacity or other program.

So you can buy it there at least! That's better than the us! Thanks a lot! :)
Good test, thx man.
Can you say something to the clockspeed in a stress test for the cpu after some minutes?
Is it still over 2,5ghz or lower over all cores?
i bought this matebook 14 amd 2020 4600H , it's a better value than the lenovo ideapad 14 amd or intel.
the build quality is amazing, it looks like a macbook all metal and the keyboard and trackpad are better than the latest released AIR and pro.
it's better than lenvo because its all metal , no plastic and it cost less in France around 800 and even 750 euro when there is a discount.
i tried GTA 5 , it works great witth 30 fps. the screen is 2K and has good brightness 300+ nits. i am well satisfied.
the fingerprint can sometimes not work properly but nothing to worry about.
I would agree. This laptop is amazing value for money and as premium as the Mac alternatives. It's all in all a great machine!
Svp où vous l'avez acheté ? Et combien ?
@@mohamedzineddin site Huawei france il était à 799 euro et une fois à 750 euro, aussi chez boulanger à 800 € il ya moins d'un mois
This model ryzen 5 display touch screen can or cannot tell me please
@@RAVIKUMAR-es3pc No the ryzen 5 is not touch. Only the 4800h model is touch. :)
Nice review, congratulations.
I'm worried about the high temperature while doing benchmarks, what do you think? Will it damage the laptop a few years from now? I'm also considering they new matebook D16 R5, same cpu and a new cooling system.
I agree that they are a bit worrying but since i basically never max the laptop out like in a stress test I'm not so worried. The CPU should be specd to hold 105 degrees. I feel like there should be a way to keep it below that
Bought it for 950$ with hp bag, mousepad, plastic case, laser engraving russian keys, in condition "used, but like a new". Nice notebook, thank you for the review. Will try downvolting because 108 degrees in hard mode is not good
Did you check performance at battery power? My Matebook D14 is limited in battery mode to 2400MHz, only at AC it reaches 3700MHz. I expect such limitation in Matebook 14 too, could you check Geekbench or Cinebench?
Thank you so much for you valuable review, I’m fully interested in this laptop, but the color doesn’t look good to me, I prefer a black
I love the color. It's the same as the darker MacBook colour.
Hey man, your reviews are great! Keep up the good work!
This Matebook 14 is currently on a sale for 800 euros in my country. Could please share how it stacks up versus the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7? Do you think this laptop is a very good offer for 800 euro?
Thanks :)
I think that's insane value. If you don't need thunderbolt or two usb c ports it's the best. I'm working on my comparison video right now. Yoga slim 7 vs matebook 14, but i have a lot of daytime work that takes priority right now. I hope to have it up soon though.
Hej! Thanks for the review. I liked the video as I saw it!
Should a person who isn't in a hurry about buying a new laptop wait for Ryzen 5000 CPUs? I ain't need a PC right now but definitely considering to replace my current one. What do you suggest about new generation CPUs, for both Intel and AMD and even M1?
I think if you're not in a hurry you should def. wait for the next gen. Maybe the performance upgrade isn't huge, but it's just nice to future proof. M1 is amazing value but can't run 2 external screens which for me is a deal breaker. Intel 11th gen is great too. I need to test an i7 to see how it compares to i5 but the performance to price to heating ratio on my 1135g7 has been great. So it's a hard choice to make at this point!
Nice detailed review. Thank you. Do you have a link for that nifty hotel laptop stand?
Added to the description - in the end of the list! :)
Would love to see a comparison between de lenovo yoga slim 7 and this huawei.
Thanks. Keep up the good work.👌
That is one of my next videos coming up for sure!
I will comment for the first time.
I bought Matebook 14 by watching the video.
I'd like to add an eGPU, but it's not officially compatible with Thunderbolt, so I'm looking for information.
It may not be perfect,
Can I connect egpu to Matebook14 and use an external graphics board? If so, I'm thinking of buying an eGPU. I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
That is a great review. I have a question: regardless the os, just from hardware perspective, would you prefer this laptop or the MacBook air m1?
Thanks a bunch! I would prefer this because of the port selection, but for davinci resolve I think m1 would be better. However as a work/casual gaming laptop I think this is amazing. M1 for gaming is a bit so so... It's really hard to answer though, and tbh I feel like I should get an M1 to make these comparisons! It's probably time for that.
@@w2best Thank you for your effort and for your time to reply.
@M P I ordered the m1 today for 1179 euro. The price of the Matebook 14 with ryzen 5, 16gb ram and 512 gb storage (no touchscreen) was 999 euro. This afternoon dropped to 899 euro. I hope this m1 is as good as they say.
again and again, very good review.
but little advise, you probably need to review about huawei share which is a part of huawei ecosystem.
that its, thanks very much w2
Thanks for the feedback! I think I should pick up a Huawei flagship phone at some point to be able to make videos about huawei share! Thanks for the input! I will save it for a future video! :)
@@w2best yeap, you welcome..i appreciate your passion. I think in Someday, you will success in this job. 🙏👍
@@galangaidil9421 thanks mate! That's all relative! I'm pretty happy at this point with quarter of a million views per month :)
Good review, do not forget to open the back lid next time
Thanks to this nice review but I am indecisive, what is the best between huawei matebook 14 amd and lenovo yoga slim 7 ?
That is the video I will make this weekend :p
@@w2best It’s perfect thank you ;)
I had the same choice and I've gone for Matebook.
I really liked the screen, built and the overall feel of Matebook a lot more, so it was an easy choice once I saw them personally in a store, even though when I watched reviews of them I could not pick my favourite and they seemed kind of identical to me
@@mikhail5647 I agree as i stated in my comparison video! Matebook is great! :)
Wow what a detailed review. I wouldn't be surprised if u also did a taste test haha.
Haha maybe that should be added to the list of things to try! :)
@@w2best man u actually sold me on it, its coming on Tuesday ♥️♥️♥️
huawei matebook -14 -intel i5 -(2021) vs asus -zenbook- 13,3 inch - intel i5
which one you recommend for me ?
my casual use is office and alo of productivity and reading
thank you so much. I love Huawei but laptop temperature is a downer. Hope they make it to ARM CPU/GPU to be a powerful & power efficient a laptops like the Apple M1 CPUs
Any thoughts on the thinkbook 14p gen 2 ? With, ryzen 5000, 16:10 , 14 inch, ports in the back and good screen seems like could be a good alternative to Yoga Pro .
Wait - ports in the back?! I haven't seen this one I think! I've only seen the regular thinkbook 14 and it seems lovely! Also the yoga version seems great! I've been so heavy on lenovo though I think my next laptop for review will be an MSI.
Hello. The connection with your smartphone is feasible only if it is huawei? Or is this function supported by iphone?
No that's only with Huawei phones!
Hi Sir... i just bought this laptop yesterday due to yr review. I noticed today that while charging the laptop gets hot to the extent that the fans run guite loud. The heat is especially noticeable on the left palm rest and keyboard area. Do you have this kind of issue?
I don't have any issues when charging! Not with the regular charger or with my monitor that powers it. But there has been some other people asking about this. So it might be an issue that is there in some units.
@@w2best thanks for yr response... may i know did they manage to solve the issue?
Do you recommend it for programming and 3d drawing?
And the ryzen 7 version would give a stronger performance?
For sure. I think it's very well suited for that. Ryzen 7 is for sure more powerful. I don't know how much though since i haven't tried the h cpu difference
Its very good for programming ... intelliJ is running very fast on this laptop. Tge laptop is a best buy....
What is the frequency of RAM? I cant find any info about it including your review. Since its using Ryzen processor, Mhz of RAM is important as well.
You are right. This is 2666 ddr4. So that's a bit of a weak point here.
I have a question about fan noise and temperatures. I bought the same configuration week ago and now I'm struggling with the noise of the fans. Fans are turning on on idle, when watching youtube, during teams conversation. Usage of CPU is always around 5% which is very low, the processor consumes less than 5W of power and the temp is around 37 degrees. It is very annoying that fans are blowing all the time even if it feirly cold. Do you have the same issue?
I have almost the oppsite issue. The fans never turn on even when I believe they should. When stress testing and the cpu hits 108 degrees you hear the fans - but not much. I really feel like it should be spinning more at that point. I didn't have any issues from start either - so it's not due to upgrades of firmware. It's very strange you have that issue!
@@w2best Tech after unboxing I upgraded windows and all drivers. I believe that Huawei messed up firmware. I found that the Huawei matebook d14 have the same issue and it happens after upgrading bios drivers. That's pretty strange. I contacted Huawei but, for now, no response. (My bios firmware is 1.10 you can check your version in PC Manager from Huawei).
Fan during teams convesation is just annoying......
@@dadurex I'm also on 1.10 bios. Really though - not one time the fan has started spinning at idle...
@@w2best Thats strange, so that's not the bios problem i think. I hope huawei will help me with that problem
Great review, but mate, you´ve been doing something wrong if your laptop reaches 104 degrees celsius in cinebench R23. I have ran it for a solid 3 times in a row with my matebook 14 and i get 72°C max. !!! maybe something with your cooler!?
Really? With the 4600h? That sounds so strange. I'm just watching the numbers in core temp...
@@w2best yes the 4600H, but i was watching CPU temp. in task manager. Might be the difference!? But anyhow, even after 3x cinebench R23, my laptop didnt felt really ,,hot,, underneath. Just warm to the touch. That doesen´t really ,,feel,, like 100°C+ in the CPU.
Tell me the application you are using to messure the temps and ill update you what i get :)
Sir, why my Huawei Matebook D14 AMD Ryzen 7 didnt use the glossy screen and it didnt have any problem of glare because not using glossy screen. only normal screen.
Du är kung mannen.
Åh tack! Det uppskattas! :)
how would movies look on it? i mean the screen QHD resolution is.. what happen when i try to watch fullhd movies on it? will i see pixels ??
“Premium quality feel” does it for me.
It really is though! :D
@@w2best That’s why I bought it yesterday because of your high quality feel comment. You say it like you mean it. 😂
Seriously though it’s really nice and I’ve had MacBooks before and it’s up there. The speakers could be a little loud but otherwise cpu is fast. Swapped to 500GB SD with Samsung 980 Pro and it’s pretty quick.
In my country there will be a promotion at only 570usd for this laptop on 6june. Should i get it tho because it seems like a bargain for me.
Hi! can you make a video on a eGPU support with this laptop? I am wondering if it would be worth the investment to play some high details game at full hd.
This is an amd laptop. There's no thunderbolt on AMD so far so no support for egpu.
@@w2best I have the intel i7 one matebook d14 2020, does it support egpu did you try it?
well Sir, I just bought this and you are partly to blame :) let's see when it arrives... Tbh I don't think windows world can compete with apple's quality. Even the new a1s can be bought for around 1000 Euros now.. but I needed a Windows computer and this looks great for the price!!! Thank you for the review
Is this laptop good for a student use? Would u recommend this ?
“The Huawei MateBook 14 should be considered by all students and productivity users”
- Google
Yes it's great. Not the top tier battery life though. There are better off you need 10+ hours.
Thank you so much this review. But ı have doubts. I am data science student. So is it work for me?
What is your doubt? I would say it's pretty perfect?!
A great Review I've seen, keep uploading. New subscribers here. Thanks a lot 😘
Soon get a new huawei matebook 14
Great to hear! Thank you!
How about Autocad and etabs and sap and all engineering programs would work well ??
What do you think about the 8gb ram variant?
Hi, I'm thinking about getting this laptop or the ideapad 5 (ryzen 7 4700u). I prefer the matebook 14 but I'm concerned about the high temperatures. What's your opinion on the matebook's temperatures? I will use it mostly for programming (visual studio)
I don't think that's a problem with visual studio. I only had high temps when stress testing. Not even when gaming is the chassis hot.
My man.. always have a mouse with him ;)
HAHA :D
excellent content. i'm a big huawei fan (last 3 consecutive cellphones)...but will skip this laptop model. online camera & mic is 40% of my work day (nice privacy flip-up concept, but absolutely terrible placement...nostril-view...ha ha)...& the microphone sounded like the old 'piece of string with 2 tin cans' from my childhood? i think they are still learning...it's still early days for them with laptops...so i will try the next version in a couple of years with minimum 2 x usb-c & without the other issues you highlighted.
i am a bit sad...but can now better make my decision for april on my other 3 finalists: lenovo flex, acer spin or HP envy...(funny thing, all 14 inch 2-in-1's?
& the best-looking one right [both specs/performance & aesthetically pleasing] now combines 2 of my least favourite tech brands: HP & Intel...oh well?)
unless of course there is no stock of the others on the day...& i can convince the store to throw in a free 1080P (non usb-c) webcam? it's different here in africa, man. keep up the great work...going to quickly search for your flex review i saw a while ago...& what i can find on the other 2. 👊🏻
Lenovo Flex 5? It doesn't have displayport out in the usb c which is an absolute deal breaker for me. HP envy looks like the nicest of those three to me. But also the Asus 2 in 1 with 11th gen I think looks pretty good.
I totally agree on the mic quality. It's a pity but I haven't had any complain'ts on it which surprises me.
I haven't reviewed the flex because of the displayport thing. But i hope there's an upgrade at some point!
@@w2best thanks...will look at the Asus zenbook flip 14 inch...was the first one i considered, but was about 50% more expensive than the others about a month ago & they only had that terrible blue colour in stock...will search again now for updates.
Do you have a Swedish/EU link to purchase the product?
Yes - power.se has it in stock! :)
Do you recommend this laptop for programming?
Yes it's a great choice both with the screen and the CPU.
So, its not possible to use it with video editing software davinci resolve??
davinci resolve and amd cpu:s are not a good match! So I wouldn't get this if that is your main use case.
Good job👍
Thank you! :)
Brother..
I want to ask you if this is the best laptop in this price range or not?
I really appreciate your effort brother
In the sub 1000 euro category I'd say it's really hard to beat! Thanks a lot!
Do you recomend this for a beginer graphic designer?
Yes i think that would be great!
@@w2best thank you💕
how about autocad sir? it is still can run smoothly in this laptop?
For sure! that should work just fine.
Is it just on my copy or the screen is a bit shifted towards a yellow-greenish tint? Tried to tweak it with Radeon app but it didn't go away.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I had such a white/bleached color setup in the beginning i switched it to a warmer tone. I prefer it that way for sure! :)
How much would it be if you got the touchscreen version?
Here it's €100 more expensive and then it's 4800h CPU
5:01 What app are you using ?
That's the AMD radeon software! It's included :)
which is better, This one or Hp Envy 13 (wood edition), For software engineering student.
I have that the hp envy has a great keyboard
@@monostechhelp1143
Agreed, I bought the hp envy 13 and it's very good for studying and work
@@momengaber7717 nice, I now use a matebook d16 because I want a bigger screen because of eye strain.
@@monostechhelp1143 Yeah, it's a problem for me too, but i have a monitor, so it's kinda helping
I'm wanting to buy this Laptop for starting trading would u recommend this
Depending on how you will trade I would def. prefer a few monitors, but this would be a good starting point performance wise for sure!
@@w2best yeah I'm only new so I won't be like doing it full time I'm still studying alot
@@jordant993 Hi Jordan. I'm thinking of getting started. As you're a few months in do you have any recommendations on sites to learn on that have been good for you? Thanks.
Would love to see the comparison between Huawei matebook and LG Gram.
I would love that too! So far lg gram hasn't been released in Europe and therefore it will probably take long before that comparison can happen. :(
@@w2best Oh I see, hopefully lg gram will be release in Europe in the near future. Thank you for your reply. Have a great day :)

Trial version but nothing more
Is the another ssd slot? Or just the one?
Unfortunately just one...
Thanks so much for this review, its so helpful for me who is looking into this, perhaps of the ram was 16gb, you think it will be good for video editing?
It works well for video editing but not with Davinci resolve!

wow, I got this on launch day, In the UK i got the ryzen 5 4600h 256gb, I got it for £675 (790 euro) and I got a free Huawei matepad 10.4 tablet.
Everythings fine for me, though i definitely wish for more RAM and the SSD is so tightly screwed in I couldn't replace it
Same but I'm happy with the storage
8gb ram? I like the 4600h 16gb 512 gb combo! :)
@@w2best I only got the 8gb 256 or 16gb 512. I went for the cheapest one as I'm a student and it was only 675 so really good price and plenty fast.
In Poland there were a discount on the Huawei consumer page and I got the same configuration as in film for 2950 zł which is 650 euro which is great deal i think
@@dadurex ye really good considering you could get a Lenovo flex 5 and this is way better.
I'm a professional photographer and filmaker and I use this laptop to render 4k or 1080p project on davinci resolve 17 studio without problems. I have Zero crashes.
Really! I wonder if the studio and the free version are different? It's great to hear you have no issues. I couldn't do anything basicly before it stopped working.
@@w2best There is a fix for your problem. This is what you have to do : go to the official radeon website and try a older driver. Try the version 20.9.2 it will work.
Do you think it opens or uninstalls software applications?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you rephrase it?
@@w2best Do you think it opens the C # program?
This model touch screen can use or cannot tell me please
Not this exact one I've, but the 4800h version does!
Does it have all of its RAM soldered on?
I collect this question for a folow up video! I believe it is though! I haven't opened it yet.
Will this be good enough for Computer Science degree?
8GB ram
I would not use 8gb for a degree like that. At least 16 is what you should have.

My unit didn't have any coil whine luckily I guess but it makes weird sound son like a blanket sometimes but as soon as I lift it up it's fine.
GREAT! I never hear it unless I lean in towards the keyboard. This is so common though.
I purchased the Ryzen 7. 16/512 for 780 euros a few days ago and it is a superb little computer for the money and very fast, the only thing I have noticed is it is giving me headaches !!. Has anyone else had this using this kind of screen?. It could be the glossy screen or the IPS having an effect. As a side note Windows 11 is working fine on my model.
Is that on lower brightness levels? I never noticed that during the 2 months i used this. But that doesn't sound very good.
@@w2best Yes that is on about 50% but I have now just found the blue eye saver screen so that helps while working on office documents. I have also been reading about IPS displays and it does effect quite a lot of people although it seems no one has fully investigated different screens and the real problems they can cause people. Thanks for your reply.
