Is huawei matebook 13 good for students?
shaquita.mante

The MateBook 13 is the perfect MacBook running Windows 10. The gorgeous design, display, keyboard, and fantastic performance is coupled with an attractive price tag. Just don't try and do intensive work on the laptop as the 8GB of RAM and relatively slow dedicated GPU will quickly become an issue

mollie

The Huawei MateBook 13 is still a worthy successor to the MateBook X Pro and carries that torch as one of the best value flagship laptops available. Additionally, it comes with some seriously impressive battery life, letting you get a full day's worth of work done without needing a charge.

Huawei is selling two configurations of the MateBook 13 laptop, an entry-grade version and a high-end version, but both contain the same 13-inch, 2,560 x 1,440 (220 pixels per inch) touchscreen in a 3:2 aspect ratio and 8GB of LPDDR3 memory as well as a fingerprint reader embedded into the power button.

Battery, storage, and memory Since there is not much space inside, Huawei only managed to put a 41.7Wh battery. Sadly, but unsurprisingly, you won't be able to upgrade your memory. All you can do is pick the largest 16GB version upon purchase.

While you may have heard about Huawei's ongoing issues getting Google onto its phones, rest assured that there's no such issue with Huawei laptops. This runs a full version of Windows 10, with no unexpected limitations or software blocks – including Google.

How long does huawei matebook 13 battery last?
michael_mann

Huawei promises up to 9.6 hours of local 1080p video playback from the MateBook 13, and that's the only figure it provides. Luckily for Huawei, our 1080p video playback test reported an impressively close 8 hours and 18 minutes, narrowly outlasting a Dell XPS 13 with a 4K display.

It certainly excels for speed, and Huawei Share sticker aside it looks great. That said, if you're paying this much you should demand a better keyboard and USB-C ports that actually work like everyone else's. It's a nice laptop, but it lacks the killer punch
