Huawei MateBook 14s: A closer look at the Huawei laptop that has EVOlved.
Yesterday I attended an event in Gotham City, London to see the launch of the new MateBook 14s, Huawei’s most powerful laptop ever.
The MateBook 14s is a small, but extremely sturdy, 14-inch laptop with a 90Hz 2.5K (2400×1600 pixels) touchscreen display, 45W TDP Intel 11th-gen i7 CPU with Iris Xe integrated graphics, 60Wh battery (with 90W fast-charging), quad-stereo audio, NFC with Huawei Share, Thunderbolt 4 support, and a return of the webcam to the top of the display where many will consider it belongs.
The MateBook 14s will ship with Windows 11 out-of-the-box (it should be noted the pre-production models we saw were still running Windows 10) and has also had a facelift to the overall design, which includes a modified keyboard with 1.5mm travel.
In order to gain Intel’s EVO certification, the MateBook 14s exceeds the minimum specifications required – including up to 13 hours of battery life – and also comes with ultra fast RAM and storage that starts at 512GB and tops out at 1TB, as well as Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and multiple ports.
Four microphones on the laptop also promise to improve video and audio conferencing, with AI noise cancellation learning your voice to allow the removal of any other background noises or voices.
The new laptop will go on sale at the end of October, but pre-ordering is open now and early adopters can enjoy a choice of free gifts. Pricing starts at £1199.99, rising to £1299.99 for the EVO certified model.
