The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 has one of the best screens of any device I’ve seen here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The display is vibrant and beautiful, and the company also fleshed out the innards and redesigned the airflow to keep the laptop performing at its best. Here are some early thoughts about the Huawei MateBook X Pro.
We can’t ignore the elephant in the room. Like its predecessors, the MateBook X Pro was clearly inspired by certain products designed by a particular fruit company in California. The sleek aluminum chassis, the paper-thin lid, even the Space Grey colorway selected by Huawei — none is especially unique in this space. But that doesn’t mean the machine isn’t attractive. The beautiful design might be borrowed, but it stands out in a way many laptops simply don’t. And it mostly holds its own against the svelte profiles of new devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro and Pro 360.
