Huawei has already updated its flagship MateBook X Pro once for 2022, but it’s back again with a second refresh to include more powerful 12th-gen Intel chips along with a new, lighter design.
Not much else has changed, but since the last generation earned 4.5 stars and a coveted Editor’s Choice Award from us just six months ago, a lighter and faster version sounds like no bad thing.
DESIGN
In terms of its dimensions and details, Huawei hasn’t changed the MateBook X Pro at all since its last iteration. This is still a slim, sleek laptop with an expansive trackpad, thin bezel around the display, and premium design.
It once again features four USB-C ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack, with no sign of USB-A, HDMI, or an SD card slot – good for minimalists, annoying for those of us with dongles and peripherals to carry around.
There have been changes though. For one there’s the colour: the previous excellent Emerald Green has sadly been retired, but I’m almost as big a fan of the deep Ink Blue this time
