Designed for young consumers, the latest 14-inch Huawei laptop introduces a cross-platform experience that allows users to seamlessly work with multiple devices through a single pane of glass. On top of its lightweight chassis, FullView Display, powerful performance, robust build quality and chic design, thia comes with a range of new features including support for Huawei Share. Equipped with a full array of smart capabilities, the HUAWEI MateBook D 14 stands as a powerful companion to today’s tech-savvy youth.

Wang Yinfeng, President of PC and Tablet Product Line, Huawei Consumer BG, said: “For our PC products, we have stayed true to our mission to bring new experiential innovations with every iteration. With the 14-inch HUAWEI MateBook D 14, we focused on delivering the best user experience to young consumers. Even though it’s stylish, powerful and intelligent, it is much more than just a productivity driver – it is the perfect all-scenario device that excels at both work and play.”

The Slim-bezel designs 

The ultra-slim laptop market is experiencing rapid growth. Huawei leaned on its expertise in smartphone technology and system integration capabilities to realise the ultra-slim bezel design on its FullView Displays. This design approach lets Huawei pack a large display into a portable chassis and offer the best of both worlds.

Underneath the anti-glare coating, it has the 14″ IPS panel that supports a Full HD (1920×1080) resolution and a maximum opening angle of 178°. The premium display is perfectly suited for any content. The panel on the MateBook D 14 has also been TÜV Rheinland certified for low blue light emission, allowing for better eye protection.

Processor performance

Young consumers see in PCs not just a tool that lets them work, but a platform that lets them have fun too. The MateBook D 14 AMD Edition is powered by a 12nm AMD Ryzen™ 5 3500U mobile processor to deliver a powerful performance while retaining a high level of stability and reliability. For GPU, the AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics embedded in the laptop provides outstanding graphics processing support. 

The MateBook D 14 excels at cooling and battery life. For cooling, the laptop includes a new version of the HUAWEI Shark Fin Fan. With the new s-shaped fan blades, Shark Fin Fan 2.0 optimizes air flow dynamically for improved cooling and laptop performance. In terms of battery life, a 56Wh high capacity battery supports up to 9.5 hours of continuous local 1080p video playback on a single charge.

A portable, multi-purpose 65W USB-C charger and a USB-C to USB-C cable is included. The charger supports all Huawei smartphones and tablets that are equipped with a USB-C port. It also features overheat protection, which automatically stops the charging process once the temperature crosses a threshold to ensure safety.

Equipped with 8GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory, the HUAWEI MateBook D 14 has enough memory to handle most high load apps on the market. The solid-state drive (SSD) in the new HUAWEI MateBook D 14 is connected to the mainboard via the high speed PCIe interface. The dual-antenna WLAN module effectively receives WLAN signal for enhanced connection speed and stability. On the side, a diverse selection of interfaces can support multiple I/O needs simultaneously, including data transfer, peripheral connection and battery charging.

Intelligent connection made easy

The latest MateBook D Series introduces a new set of Huawei Share capabilities. The new features enable the MateBook and a Huawei smartphone to share a single display, in which users can drag files from one user interface to the other to transfer files, and view the contents saved in the smartphone directly on the laptop. Peripherals connected to the laptop can also be used to navigate the smartphone, giving the laptop users seamless access to the mobile apps without switching device.
