Product Information

This all ties into the quietly impressive PC Manager, which is worth using simply to keep drivers up to date.

However, I don’t want to be too critical of Huawei saving money here; the screen is acceptable for a budget laptop. To form a Super Device, open the control center on your laptop, access the Super Device screen, and drag and drop to connect the devices. Super Device facilitates seamless cross-device collaboration, allowing a vast array of smart devices to function as one cohesive unit.FullView Display is a patented and commonly used term for HUAWEI products, referring to screens with a high body-to-screen ratio and reduced bezels. However, considering the US government’s complicated relationship with Huawei products, there may be a good chance that the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) will never be available there.

It’s pretty clear that the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020)’s design is seriously indebted to the Apple MacBook.While 8GB of RAM is the amount we’d like Windows 10 laptops to come with as a minimum, the 256GB SSD is a bit on the tight side – you may find yourself running out of disk space, especially if you have large collections of big files, such as videos and music. Another thing we like about the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) compared to the MacBook is the number of ports. Tested under my usual workload of writing into web apps, streaming some music and video, and keeping a lot of web pages open at once, the 42Wh battery slipped to 44% from a full charge in three hours.

With the MateBook D 15, Huawei has succeeded where many other manufacturers fail for a great number of reasons. Anyone looking for a laptop whose specifications they can configure at purchase time should look elsewhere.

The touchpad is large and responsive, and there's a fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button, which sits to the right of the keyboard, level with the Fn key row. dB(A) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Deep Bass Middle Bass High Bass Lower Range Mids Higher Mids Lower Highs Mid Highs Upper Highs Super Highs 20 33. Despite its age, the use of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U is also a decent choice because it offers good efficiency rates in addition to ample performance, which allows for long battery life.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U is a decent enough mobile processor for day-to-day tasks, but the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) will struggle to do anything too strenuous. Huawei states that the MateBook D 15 has undergone various tests, including the ability to withstand 40°C temperature and 90% relative humidity, along with tests for the durability of the USB-C port and fingerprint key, and life tests on the keyboard, screen hinge and touchpad. There are, of course, plenty of differences in the design – and some of them even work in the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020)’s favor. Huawei even keeps the weight of the power adapter down to 159g, and it’s a slimline affair that’s more akin to a phone power plug.Another damp note is that, as is typical of Huawei’s notebooks, the webcam is a pop-up affair hidden below a fake key between F6 and F7. If you want to change the operating system rather than the hardware, you’re in luck; launching Ubuntu 20. After training to become a Telecommunications Systems Technician and gaining a few years of experience, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering.
