Huawei refreshes the Matebook X Pro and adds a larger Matebook 14
Huawei’s Matebook 13 marked Huawei’s entrance into the Whiskey Lake generation of Intel’s Core chips, and Huawei’s refreshed Matebook X Pro (2019) and new Matebook 14 follow suit. Announced Monday at Mobile World Congress, Huawei’s also boasting tighter integration with its smartphones, using a “OneHop” wireless connection to transfer content back and forth.
In general, though, both devices are essentially spec bumps over their predecessors. The Matebook X Pro’s additions include Thunderbolt 3.0 capabilities, a downgraded Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU, and Whiskey Lake. The Matebook 14, meanwhile, looks a lot like the Matebook 13 that came before it, though obviously with a larger display. The 13.9-inch Matebook X Pro (2019) takes the similarity even further: Huawei executives said that the hardware chassis remains essentially unchanged from the prior generation.
