The HUAWEI MateBook 14s 2021 is a Laptop+ that offers a superior combination of screen features that is unseen in the industry today
New barriers posed by the current global health situation have compelled many sectors of society to pivot to more digital means. As industries break down silos limited by quarantines and safety protocols, novel dynamics have been introduced in corporate cultures and home set-ups. This led to the resurgence of demand for technology that was on the decline pre-2020 — laptops.
As more industries relied on remote reporting, people were quick to look for reliable tech workhorses that allow them to be productive anywhere. This led to the meteoric rise in demand for laptops in the past couple of years. Manufacturers from the world over were robust in revolutionizing and accelerating product launches, marketing efforts, and research and development. Among the departments that have been magnified in terms of innovation is display.
The need to be productive anywhere for long hours of the day necessitates a laptop with a screen offering that goes beyond what the industry has seen. HUAWEI, knowing that a superior screen is essential for professionals and business decision-makers, launched recently a notebook that packs a combination of screen features that is unseen in the flagship segment — the Laptop+ HUAWEI MateBook 14s.
The flagship laptop segment in the Philippines has very few players — all offering great displays. However, the HUAWEI MateBook 14s brings a slew of complementing screen features that positions it as an authority in the category: a 2.5K resolution, 90% Screen-to-Body Ratio, 90Hz Refresh Rate, 3:2 Productivity Ratio, and 10-point multi-touch capability. Below are the reasons why this quintet of screen features is a must-have today.
Feature no. 1: 2.5K Resolution
The display of HUAWEI MateBook 14s supports a 2.5K resolution (2520×1680) and superb pixel density at 213 PPI for showing off even the most minute detail. This enables users to view details shaper and more crisp. Whether looking at high-res images or watching a high-res video, content comes to life vibrantly thanks to the display’s support for 100% of the sRGB color space3, 1500:1 contrast ratio, and a peak brightness of 400 nits. This is necessary for professionals in the creative industry who are trained to be extra pedantic on the accuracy of details and color.
Additionally, the HUAWEI MateBook 14s is one of the few laptops to be able to support a 2.5K output and Wireless Projection. Through the HUAWEI Cast+, users can seamlessly connect the Laptop+ to other HUAWEI products like tablets and displays while still retaining display quality,
Feature no. 2: 90% Screen to Body ratio
Having a large and immersive screen is a must for professionals who are intensive users of multiple apps. To address this need, the HUAWEI MateBook 14s sports the HUAWEI FullView Display, allowing users to have an immersive screen-to-body ratio of 90%. This is despite the position of an integrated front-facing 720P IR camera on the top bezel, which usually thickens a screen’s border.
However, the incredibly high screen-to-body ratio isn’t the only signature FullView design that the HUAWEI MAteBook 14s has inherited.
Feature no. 3: 3:2 Productivity Ratio
The second one is a 3:2 aspect ratio that allows the screen to show more content vertically. Whether for content browsing or editing, it gives office workers and professionals more space to unleash their potential. This ratio provides more browsing spaces that enables users to easily see the whole picture or document displayed on the screen. The wider screen also makes the Laptop+ a preferable device for casual gaming.
The productivity ratio also allows the HUAWEI MateBook 14s to have an impeccable sync-up with other HUAWEI devices that have a 3:2 display ratio, such as the Huawei MateView. With this, there will be no letterboxing issues affecting the user experience in key HUAWEI multi-screen collaboration modes like Mirror Mode or Extend Mode.
Feature no. 4: 90Hz Refresh Rate
The refresh rate of a display refers to how many times per second the display updates with new images. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). Theoretically, a higher refresh rate means smoother motions. A refresh rate of 60 Hz means a display updates 60 times per second. To human eyes, this is an ideal refresh rate when a display is updating images at high speeds. On the other hand, a higher refresh rate of 90 Hz is more suitable for quickly browsing files, glancing pop-up comments in videos, playing games and more. A 90 Hz display delivers smoother images, more natural motions, as well as clearer content.
The display of HUAWEI MateBook 14s supports a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz. By pressing the Fn key and R key simultaneously, it can switch between 60Hz for a more balanced, power-saving performance and a 90Hz for a smoother experience on demand. Coupled with the Display Refresh Rate Switching by Intel, it will intelligently switch to a lower refresh rate in full-screen video or standby mode, striking a good balance of battery level and smooth pictures.
Feature no. 5: 10-point Multi-Touch Capability
But what takes the cake for the HUAWEI MateBook 14s is its 10-point multi-touch support. It is one of the few flagship laptops to have this feature.
In designing the HUAWEI MateBook 14s, there were a few things that Huawei was unwilling to compromise on: appearance, quality, versatility, and user-friendliness. All the new products in this series come standard with a touch screen with 10-point multi-touch support. This integrated touch screen solution leverages some of Huawei’s best mobile technologies to enable precise accuracy and a smooth glide. The high-quality screen also features high transmittance, great refractiveness, as well as tolerance to corrosion, temperature, and yellowing effects. Furthermore, the touch screen facilitates novel use cases and user experiences when used in harmony with mobile apps or Multi-screen Collaboration.
Interaction with the screen and its apps is a breeze indeed. Navigating through the laptop can be easily done through a single tap. Reviewing documents is also more convenient through gestures like zooming in and out and screen grabbing.
Nowadays, having a laptop is an investment, hence HUAWEI is making sure that all of its MateBook devices offer the right essentials across key departments like display. The HUAWEI MateBook 14s is an attestation to this, bringing industry-leading features in screen, performance and intelligent experience.
