The screen sizes, battery power, form factor, and other key features and metrics remain the same for the models from their predecessors.

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.
