Chinese tech powerhouse Huawei has announced the upgraded version of its Matebook D 14 and D 15 laptops, both having either of the two latest AMD Ryzen CPUs (Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7). The Huawei Matebook D 14 and Matebook D 15 are different from their respective predecessors mainly through their CPUs, which will offer better performance and greater power efficiency for the devices. The screen sizes, battery power, form factor, and other key features and metrics remain the same for the models from their predecessors.
As we have stated, the AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 chipset in the new laptops is the main point of the upgrade. Both devices will have a RAM of 16GB and an internal storage capacity of 512GB. The battery capacity remains the same at 56Wh and 65W fast charging capability. There are some differences between both devices, with the D 14 model having a smaller 14” screen, compared with the 15” screen for the D 15. There are different input ports in the device, including USB Type-C, 2.0 and 3.2, HDMI, and one audio jack. The front-facing camera in both the Matebook D 14 and D 15 is hidden within the keyboard and pops up whenever the button is pressed. 
The AMD Ryzen 7 chip is more powerful than the Ryzen 5 and packs much power into the performance of the devices. Both model variants have a Radeon Vega GPU. In terms of performance metrics and speed, the Ryzen 5 has six cores and could attain a maximum rate of 4.0GHz, while the Ryzen 7 has 8 CPU cores, reaching a maximum of 4.4 GHz.
Both the Matebook D 14 and D 15 will be released on June 1. We expect the new laptops to be a bit more pricey than their predecessors. They will be available in Silver and Deep Space Gray colour options.
