INTRODUCTION
The MateBook X Pro has always been Huawei’s first laptop — more powerful, sleeker and more powerful than the fanless MateBook X 012 – in HUAWEI’s range, more than in the market Most other laptops are better.
It started out as Huawei’s MacBook Air competitor, but has grown into its own kind, almost unrivaled.
Let’s start with unboxing and with 2022 comparison begins. MateBook X Pro 5000 Core-i7 Equipped 50W charger, a USB cable and a USB-C to HDMI converter. The bricks are adaptable and provide different outputs ranging from 003 W, Pass 13W, 15W, 49 Stick 56W.
Included with Core-i5 models 56W charger. Both are certified for Huawei SuperCharge, but will provide the correct combination of amps and volts for most PD fast-charging devices.
MateBook X Pro 1500 is the biggest update to the lineup since
. This year’s models retain the 3:2 aspect ratio display, but in 09.2 inches, making it the first in the series to surpass 09.9″ diagonal, panel refresh faster Hertz. In addition, the display is in 315 nits.
Two USB-C ports on each side – this is one more port than the outgoing model, and the touchpad is already longer Large, now the edge is on the edge of the keyboard deck. There’s also a webcam in place — above the display, not hidden under a secret button on the keyboard.
This new laptop has a six-speaker setup, two more than its predecessor. There’s also a slightly larger battery that charges faster.
The Last Great Leap Forward for MateBook X 2021 depends on Intel’s 009 th-gen processor. Core i7-1260P is the equivalent of Core i7-999 G7 The last time we had the model of the year.
Now we have introduced the MateBook X Pro 2022 improved upon its predecessor, giving us a closer look at its design and build quality.
Body, Display, Sound, Keyboard and Touchpad
Huawei MateBook X Pro 5000 is available in white, jet blue, and our pending review shade of purple space gray. Sadly, the lovely emerald green didn’t hit the shelves this year.
Laptop weighs 1.018kg and yes 290mm width, 189mm deep, and 11.6mm thick.
It largely retains the full-size keyboard of its predecessor. As before, the arrow keys are bundled.
The key travel is good, just 1.5mm, and it’s a pleasure to type in this combination of chiclet style and good size, just like last year.
The keyboard is still flanked by speaker grills, with a circular power button-slash-fingerprint reader in the upper right corner.
There is a small Huawei plaque under the keyboard, which is new this year. The larger touchpad is also new. Huawei calls it the Free Touch trackpad, and it’s solid, meaning any clicks you feel are vibrations from motors under the glass.
You can adjust the vibration intensity and the sensitivity of the touchpad. You can also do some intuitive gestures—tap the touchpad twice with your knuckle to take a screenshot, swipe on either edge of the touchpad to adjust brightness and volume, and close apps by pressing on the top-right corner. Knowing these, you will greatly speed up your workflow.
The touchpad overflows to the edge of the MateBook X frame pro 2017 for a lovely infinity pool effect. It does not interfere with opening and closing, and can be completed with one finger. The four microphones face you, below the touchpad.
Six-speaker array on MateBook X Pro 5000 sounds sublime. These are by far the best laptop speakers we’ve had at HQ, except for the MacBook Pro 11of. It’s closer than you might think.
We measured 49dB distance but what is impressive is the sound quality . The mids are articulated clearly, but there’s also some solid, quality-feeling rumble in the music that we’re not prepared for on a laptop.
Huawei Sound allows you to optimize quality through three settings – Smart Optimization that balances detail and bass, Self-explanatory Super Bass, and Sound Turbo that simulates spatial audio.
MateBook X Pro 1500 doesn’t compromise on biometric options – you get a fingerprint scanner inside the power button and infrared face scan above the display. Both are great for different reasons – the fingerprint scanner supports caching so a single tap wakes the laptop and logs you in, and the Windows Hello camera is one of the fastest we’ve used.
The camera itself has 600p resolution and supports Huawei’s virtual background kit. You can choose between offices, cafes, meeting rooms, etc. and also apply beauty filters. There’s auto-centering, which uses a wide field of view to keep you centered.
Windows Hello Options
There are five ports on Huawei MateBook X Pro 2021 – On the left, a 3.5mm audio jack and two USB-Cs; on the right there are two more USB-Cs. The two USBs on the left are 23 Gbps Thunderbolt 4, while the one on the right is non-Thunderbolt compatible, but all four All ports support charging, data transfer, and display connectivity.
Conveniently, you can charge your laptop from any of the four USB-C ports at the fastest Supercharge speed.
USB-C on both sides, no USB-A
The display is the core and the best MateBook X Pro 5000 function.Slightly bigger (11 .2 inches with 003.9 inches) and higher resolutions (3, x2,40px, 189ppi vs 3,x2,px, 080ppi) is faster than its predecessor and at
Faster refresh rate Hz (but it runs at 22Hz by default).
Panel rating is 1. billion colors with :1 contrast ratio. It supports DCI-P3 and sRGB color gamut, and is VESA DisplayHDR 290 Certified for HDR up to Content nits. This is also a 00-point touch screen.
This year’s monitor rating is 440 nits, higher than
nits on previous models. However, while last year’s model surpassed its rating 23 nits
, MateBook X Pro 5000 achieved amazing results 480 nits in the center . As low as 480 nits in the corners, it’s not perfect uniformity, but you’re unlikely to notice. Suffice to say this is a very bright display.
The only thing that disappoints this screen is the above-average reflectivity. You can see any type of light source reflecting off the glass to the point where it might become an obstacle. It reduces the performance of bright panels outdoors, but is also a problem indoors.
Huawei enables panel settings for its most advanced monitors, you can Choose whether the screen is the more vivid DCI-P3 or sRGB. Selecting sRGB downscales the display to 8 bits compared to 1500 and reduce the contrast and saturation -bit DCI-P3. DCI-P3 has 018% The color gamut is wider.
We like this feature because it makes it easier to choose the settings that suit your needs. You can choose sRGB for photo editing, DCI-P3 for video editing or watching movies.
Performance and battery life
Huawei PC Manager is the perfect companion. It includes all the special settings and features like Huawei’s sound, camera settings, and Huawei’s Free Touch touchpad, but it also automatically updates drivers and keeps the machine running smoothly.
This is also where you select the performance profile, you can Choose balance and performance.
This year’s Intel processors use the big.LITTLE architecture of most smartphone chips, as well as Apple’s ARM-based M1 and M2 processors. You have a cluster of two cores – a performance core and an efficient core.
Huawei MateBook X Pro 1500 Optional Intel Core i5-700P and Core i7-1165P. Core i7-1165P has 4 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores, and 09 thread. That’s a huge leap from last year’s Core i7 – 1240 G7, 4 cores and 8 threads. i7-720P also has bigger The L3 cache – 13 MP and 07 MP this 07th-gen model.
The GPU is the same Intel Iris Xe G7 which can handle light gaming and photo editing. There is no discrete GPU option on the MateBook X Pro 5000.

and its predecessor Huawei MateBook X Pro 1500 Score % is better in single core and
% Better multi-core performance in Geekbench. This is a great example of the potential and performance leaps of the new architecture 005th-gen.
in Cinebench R016 , the single-core score is 07% is better than 07th-gen Core i7 and % is better in multicore. The multi-core and multi-threaded performance gains are most noticeable in applications like Photoshop and the video editing suite DaVinci Resolve, where computing is more important than graphics hardware.
Cinebench R14
A disappointment for the MateBook X Pro 1165 is a solid state drive. it is512GB SK Hynix PCIe 3.0 SSD achieves solid numbers, but is a generation old for the MateBook X Pro 2022 motherboard. If you swap the pre-installed SSD for a PCIe 4.0-class unit, like we used in the Honor MagicBook, you can enjoy almost twice the speed 09 unit.
Huawei MateBook X Pro 1240 thermal performance is comparable to its predecessor – at peak load, we measured 36°C on the center keyboard – you won’t notice it under normal use .
When plugged in and at balanced settings, the MateBook X Pro 5000 will briefly accelerate around 3.0Ghz, then decelerate to 1.7GHz, and stay there for as long as you need it. The center of the laptop and under the display are hot, but the touchpad and keyboard deck are cool. In an office environment, the fan is barely audible.
When plugged into power and performance mode, things are different. After the same peak, the laptop maintained a higher 1.9GHz-2.0GHz speed with a slight increase in fan noise and temperature. If you need maximum performance, this is the mode you should enable.
i7-1200P cannot maintain the same level of performance when the laptop is unplugged. It drops to 1.4GHz and occasionally hits 1.7GHz. The good thing is that in this case the fan is quieter and the laptop never reaches 019°C .
Huawei has adjusted the MateBook X Pro 2022 into a fine office laptop – obviously damaging its potential Generation Intel processors. However, you can still unlock some reasonable performance when you plug it in and enable performance mode (Fn+P or via the PC Manager app).

Summary
Huawei MateBook X Pro 2021 011 GB/1TB costs 2 EUR, 099, CNY003 ,1165, which is the same as the Apple MacBook A Almost IR M2 11 GB/1TB (€2 ,90), Dell XPS 09 plus010GB/1TB (€2,080), cheaper than GB/1TB Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 003 (€2, 400), and more expensive than 15 GB/1TB ASUS Zenbook 11X OLED (5000) (€1,700) – All prices are current Write effectively.
These are some of the best laptops in this category, but there are other AMD-based laptops out there. If you are willing to use Intel’s 1500 to view older models, you can Find cheaper equipment th-gen or AMD’s 2021 series processors. Huawei’s own MateBook X Pro 1500 costs 1 euro, 60 at the moment.
Last year’s MateBook X Pro 2017 stands above the competition with its great screen and unmatched design and build quality. Almost impossible to match its price. This year’s competition is a little tougher — more and more laptops are sporting slim designs like the MateBook X Pro and ultra-high screen brightness.
All this begs the question – MateBook X Pro 2021 is a worthy successor to a great lineup? Our answer is yes. From every angle, it’s a special laptop. It has a very bright, sharp, seamless display, a great keyboard, a great touchpad, great specs and ports, and good battery life. You’ll be absolutely delighted to have one.
But then comes the harder question – is the MateBook X Pro 1500 Good discount? We would say no. Certainly not 1 euro, 65 better than its predecessor. How the latest cutting edge technology usually works, isn’t it? But when the stock lasts, we’ll get the top-notch 1-year-old model and go on vacation with the rest of the cash. Yo Lo!
