Huawei MateBook E - 3.5 / 5
Huawei MateBook E review: Design
- Dimensions: 278 x 194 x 6.9mm Weight: 640g (tablet), 1,110g (with included keyboard cover) Finishes: Champagne or Titanium Grey 1x USB Type-C (doubles as charging port), 3.5mm headphone jack Built-in fingerprint scanner
Huawei MateBook E review: Performance
- 12-inch IPS LCD touchscreen, 2160 x 1440 resolution Intel Core i5 (7Y54 at 1.20GHz), 8GB RAM Intel Core M3 with 4GB RAM also available Battery: 33.7Wh (4,430mAh)
To recap
The original MateBook didn’t have a particularly long battery life per charge, nor was the keyboard cover’s stand very well designed. The MateBook E fixes this latter issue with a more creative keyboard cover, but the device doesn’t go far enough to fix the battery life - which leaves the E a shade behind the competition.
