Apart from smartphones, Huawei also sells a wide variety of laptops with its own branding as well as Honor. The latter is even set to debut its first gaming laptops under Hunter series powered by Intel. On the other hand, Huawei has scheduled an event for August 19 to launch the successor to the original MateBook X from 2017. According to a new leak, it could be the first-ever Windows laptop to come with a pressure-sensitive trackpad.
Apple MacBooks have had pressure-sensitive trackpad called “Force Touch” since 2015. They even mimic the clicking experience (haptics) using a vibration motor. The company uses a similar trick for the home button on iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and the new iPhone SE 2020.
Now, if this tip by a blogger called 看山的叔叔 on Weibo is true, then the upcoming Huawei MateBook X 2020 will be the first Windows laptop to come with a pressure-sensitive trackpad and it will be called Free Touch.
However, the leakster is not sure if the company will include a linear motor. Whereas, for the hardware, we guess the company to use Synaptics ZPad, which was showcased at CES 2019 with haptics functionality.
With this feature and Windows Precision Driver, the trackpad on MateBook X 2020 should be one of the best in the market. Anyway, this is merely a leak and the company is yet to confirm it.
