The Huawei MateBook X Pro is a great all-round laptop with a lovely ultra-portable design, gorgeous 2K display and a performance decent enough to handle basic productivity tasks. A terrible webcam and a reflective display are the main factors holding it back from challenging the Dell XPS, but it's still a great value option for the likes of students and office workers

Looks fantastic; Screen aspect-ratio is great for productivity; Lots of good specs for the price; That green colour;

Reflective screen; Everything about the webcam is bad; SD slot would have been the icing on the cake;

The MateBook X is a pretty bit of kit, with an exceptionally slim and lightweight design and a keyboard and touchpad that make the laptop a joy to use. That comes with compromises to ports, performance, and that webcam, but I think the trade-offs will be worth it for all but the power user.

Lovely keyboard; Good all-round performance; Brilliant screen;

performance not any better than on predecessor; CPU and GPU both remain well below their capabilities; poor webcam position and quality; no Thunderbolt 3 license; highly reflective display; no maintenance options;

With a stunning trim-bezel screen, heaps of power on tap, ample ports (including full-size USB), and a great-looking finish throughout, the MateBook X Pro is, in many ways, the Windows laptop equivalent of the Apple MacBook Pro.

Tiny screen bezel makes for a striking display; Good battery life for a laptop of this spec; Full-size USB and USB-C feature; Great typing experience;

Screen a little glossy and therefore reflective; Camera placement under F7 key doesn't make for pretty viewing; Battery can crumple when asking a little extra;
