Huawei Matebook X Pro
Looking for a new workhorse to power your productivity?
Then look no further than Huawei’s latest foldaway, the MateBook X Pro 12th Gen Core edition.
Huaweis hardware has never failed to impress me.
Huawei officially launched the gadget at IFA 2022, and is available to buy now from the Huawei store.
Whats in the Box?
Man, is this some presentation…
The box is all-white with a golden Huawei logo in the center of the hinged lid.
It just gives everything a premium feel.
Anyway, onto the contents it holds!
Aesthetically Amazing
Out of the box, the X Pro 12th Gen is quite the looker.
It is a beautifully designed piece of hardware, meaning you may draw comparisons to Apples equivalent laptops.
Ignoring those, though, this gadget stands out against many other Windows portables as a thing of wonder.
On the right edge are the 3.5mm headphone/microphone 2-in-1 TRRS jack, and the two Thunderbolt ports.
On the left edge are two USB-C ports.
Above the screen is the on-board camera, nestled in the noticeably thin bezel.
In all, the MateBook X Pro 12th Gen is every inch premium in both look and feel.
We tested the former storage option.
The lithium polymer battery has a rated capacity of 60 Wh.
Display-wise, the screen itself is 14.2 inches, and has a 3120 x 2080 resolution with 264 PPI.
The screen also has refresh rates of 90/60 Hz, with the advertised maximum brightness hitting 500 nits.
Not to forget, the gear boasts a touchscreen, too.
And that completes our little walk around the specifications.
The X Pro 12th Gen is an excellent unit for both work and play.
Obviously, it does all the things a Windows laptop can do; it just does them rapidly.
One area that might be a turnoff for some is the Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics.
Youll be fine for some casual games, just not absolute GPU chompers.
However, in general terms, the X Pro sailed through everything I could throw at it.
Photoshop works like a charm.
One feature worth mentioning from a productivity standpoint, pinpointing the work-from-home population, is the camera.
The 720p resolution means your videos dont look like youre broadcasting them via a vintage cinema reel.
In terms of entertaining oneself, the X Pro 12th Gen offers a real treat for the eyes.
The battery got me through the journey to IFA from the UK, too, so Im happy.
Would I Recommend the Huawei MateBook X Pro 12th Gen?
I absolutely would recommend the X Pro 12th Gen as a daily portable with plenty of horsepower.
