This review by Today is based on the first hands-on experience. Now let’s dive into the new notebook.

Features of Huawei Matebook 13 2021:

Design:The main reason why Huawei Matebook 13 series in demand for the last three years is its sleek and high-end design. Today Today is going to review the Haoyue Silver color of the product. Without any redundancy, the silver is a very pure look and advanced in all aspects. The all-metal body is easy to handle, which adopts the No. 150 sandblasting process. The sandblasting textures are fine with the excellent metal texture. It feels very premium, and one who uses it won’t leave it for sure.

The CNC cutting at the middle frame on B and C sides form a high-gloss cut angle. When the light hits the notebook, it forms the diffuse light. Overall the Huawei Matebook 13 2021 is similar to last year’s version in the aspects of design.

The camera, as usual, is on the top with the Huawei logo in the middle. Similar to the Macbook Pro, the touchpad area is large and in the middle. On the upper right end, there comes a 2 in 1 power button.

Touch Screen:With the 3:2 Productive ratio, the Huawei Matebook 13 2021 looks classic. 3:2 can display more clear content compare to the previous 16:10 screens.

In addition, the screen of Huawei MateBook 13 2021 also supports ten-point touch. Many consumers think that the original touch of Windows is too tasteless, and a mouse and keyboard can replace the operation. Personally, this statement is in Huawei MateBook 13 2021 does not hold. Because Huawei MateBook 13 2021 supports multi-screen collaboration technology, it “copy” the PC’s phone screen. The mobile phone screen itself is operate by touch.

The internal applications of the mobile phone are also design and optimize specifically for touch.

All in all, multi-screen collaboration is necessary, and the basis for realizing the linkage of Huawei’s PC, mobile phone, and tablet.

On the Huawei MateBook 13 2021, the multi-screen collaborative experience is further upgrade. The first is the connection method. Because the Huawei shared connection area is integrate into the notebook touchpad, the sensing area is increased by 200%, and the sensing distance is increase by 50%. The accuracy rate of “touch” is further improved, and the connection can be easily realise by placing the Huawei mobile phone on the notebook’s touchpad.

For Huawei mobile phones with EMUI 11 system, multi-screen collaboration can open up to 3 (1 main and two secondary) mobile phone windows in the notebook’s large-screen desktop at the same time. For example, you can open two shopping software simultaneously and compare them on the large-screen notebook price.
