The laptop was first unveiled in China back in May this year but the tech giant is just introducing it into the European market.

The laptop comes in two CPU versions such as AMD Ryzen 5 5800H and Ryzen 5 5600H. Both offer AMD Radeon graphics, 16 GB of DDR4, and 512 GB of NVMe PCIe SSD storage. It runs on Windows 10 OS and it carries support for multi-screen collaboration for connecting Huawei phones with the MateBook.
It is backed by an 84Wh lithium polymer battery, which can last for up to 3.5 hours once fully charged. The notebook comes with a 135W fast charger. The HD webcam is hidden in one of the function keys available on the keyboard.
