The MateBook X Pro's 1MP web camera is hidden underneath a pop-up button located between the F6 and F7 function keys. It's a shame more manufacturers don't adopt the 2:3 aspect ratio. For most of my needs, I found the Matebook X Pro also offered a fast enough experience.

Huawei’s hardware of choice for the 2020 model are an Intel Comet Lake CPU paired with an Nvidia GeForce GPU. The Core i7-10510U is an old friend at this point, and more details on this processor can be found in our technology section. The main issue with the MateBook X Pro is its low TDP threshold of just 15 W for sustained load.

The MateBook X Pro comes in a few varieties. A €1,499 configuration will net you a Core i5-10210U with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive. It comes with two USB Type-C ports that can also charge the laptop, as well as a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro is one of the best-looking laptops on the market. The keyboard and trackpad are excellent, and the trackpad is responsive. Battery life and performance isn't outstanding, but it's above where you might expect a laptop of this size and weight to be. The only thing that might put most people off is the rather high price – starting at around £1,400.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent trackpad

Cons
  • Screen isn't 4K

There are three SKU options, with only the top two available in the UK. You can order the laptop right now from Huawei, or grab either model from Amazon. The prices are roughly in line with last year's, which began from £1,199. The MateBook X Pro comes with full Windows 10 Home support, so there's no need to worry about missing access to any important services.

The Huawei MateBook X Pro (2020) is a refined update of the company's flagship laptop. The screen is a 13.9-inch touchscreen with a 3000 x 2000 resolution. The upgrade from 8th-gen Intel processors to 10th-generation is a welcome one. The keyboard is roomy and responsive, and takes more than its fair share of design cues from the keyboards found on MacBooks.

Pros
  • Bright and vibrant screen

Cons

  • No Thunderbolt 3

The MateBook X Pro 2020 isn't massively different than its predecessors, but it's got a welcome batch of changes to a great laptop. With 56Wh of capacity, Huawei estimates its laptop will last between 11 and 15 hours on a single charge. The large, squarer display gives you lots of room to work with as you write or edit, and might be just the thing you're looking for if you want something that's got the dimensions of a 13-inch laptop.

Pros
  • Large, square display
  • Good value for money
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Touchpad is hot to touch

There’s an update to the CPU, new graphics plus a bump to Thunderbolt 3 in the USB-C ports. Huawei claims you’ll get ‘14 hours of office use’ on a single charge of the 57.4Wh battery. The 13.9-inch touchscreen panel, with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a high 3000 x 2000 resolution.

The MateBook X Pro 2020 boasts a 13.9-inch display. It has a sharp, if not quite 4K, 3000 x 2000 resolution, tiny bezels and the display is touch-enabled. Colours are bright and vivid, black levels are decent, and the brightness levels just about matched those of my MacBook Pro. The only thing that stops this display from being class-leading is that it's super-reflective.

Pros
  • Gorgeous 13.9-inch display
  • Super-reflective display
Cons
  • Nothing in particular
