This Huawei Matebook D 14 against the competition
This Huawei Matebook D 14 is currently available at E.Leclerc and is positioned among some models of its category to offer such a high amount of RAM but encounters competitors offering a more recent and efficient processor with graphics solution.
Chassis, connectors, screen of this Huawei Matebook D 14
With its thin and light design in dark silver aluminum alloy, it has a sober and elegant look.
This laptop offers good connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its audio port, its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example or its 2 USBs compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are plugged into it.
As a biometric reader is integrated, you can identify yourself by fingerprint recognition via Windows Hello technology.
It should be noted that the webcam is hidden under a Function key on the keyboard that a simple press is enough to reveal. Enough to preserve privacy but not get the best angle of view.
The screen benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to its IPS technology. In addition, it lends itself well to the display of videos and more widely of High Definition content due to its 16:9 format and its precise Full HD definition. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (eg outside) than a glossy panel.
Performance, autonomy of this Huawei Matebook D 14
This Huawei Matebook D 14 is a thin and light High Definition compact laptop intended for everyday use.
The general performance it provides is able to suit many users because it is built around a good amount of 16 GB RAM above the average, which is very appreciable in multitasking and to see the future in this area. But also a low-power Comet Lake Intel Quad Core i5-10210U processor.
The modest Intel UHD 620 graphics solution integrated into the latter, which takes care of all the graphics, allows you to view photos and videos. On the other hand, it will not satisfy the players.
For its part, SSD storage clearly enhances responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive. Because it is much faster but also less energy-consuming, more robust and silent.
Best known price: €749
With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity similar to the standard of hard disks. However, if you need more space, you can obviously use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C / USB 3.0 device then represents an interesting option for obtaining fast transfers.
As for the autonomy of this discreet compact Ultrabook easy to carry because of its compactness, its thinness and its lightness, count on approximately 8 hours of operation on battery in light use.
