Earlier this year, during Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain, Huawei had announced a line-up of its laptop, which also included the Huawei MateBook X Pro. The same model was launched in China last month.
In China, the Huawei Mate X Pro went on sale from 17th April but it was available in only two color options — Deep Gray, Moon Silver. Today, the company has finally launched the Pink Gold color option, which is aimed towards the female buyers.
While the laptop comes in four variants based on chipset and memory configuration, only one variant is currently available for purchase in China — Core i5 8GB RAM + 512GB + Nvidia MX250. It is priced at 8,999 yuan which roughly converts to $1,320.
In terms of design, the new MateBook X Pro is similar to its predecessor. It comes with a CNC machined metallic unibody with a premium sandblasted finish. The Huawei MateBook X Pro features a 13.9-inch LTPS Ultra FullView touch screen with 3.2 aspect ratio and 3K (3000 x 2000 pixels) screen resolution.
Under the hood, it packs up to 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8565U and Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU. For cooling, the device houses an intelligent system that switches between active and passive modes for silent cooling performance, while the two Huawei “Shark Fin Fans 2.0” feature larger fins to produce a higher air output.
It also retains the fingerprint scanner which is built into the power button and the pop-up webcam nestled between the keys. Another new feature is the Huawei Share 3.0 One Touch feature that allows you to easily transfer files between your phone and PC.
As for connectivity support, the device comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and an upgraded dual antenna for faster and more stable wireless connections. It packs four speakers (two tweeters + two woofers) with Dolby Atmos sound and comes with two USB Type-C ports, one USB Type-A port, and new Thunderbolt 3 port.
