After the launch of Huawei MateBook E and MateBook X Pro, the Chinese manufacturer also announced the MateBook 14 for mainstream users. Amongst other features, this notebook comes with a 2K comprehensive screen design, excellent performance, long battery life, and a rich interface to better meet users demand. Just like the other Matebooks, the MateBook 14 is equipped with the upgraded Huawei Share one-touch function, which makes the interaction between mobile phones and notebooks more convenient.
In order to let the mainstream consumers enjoy the innovative technology and smart experience of Huawei’s flagship notebooks, Huawei launched the MateBook series at the end of 2018. Its first product, the HUAWEI MateBook 13, became the 13-inch thin and new benchmark once it was launched. As the second product in the same series, Huawei has brought HUAWEI MateBook 14 with a comprehensive design, light, portable, and with high performance.
HUAWEI MateBook 14 screen resolution is 2160×1440, with 100% sRGB (typical) wide color gamut. It has a screen contrast of 1000: 1, and 300 nits (typical) brightness which redefines the standard for 14-inch mainstream notebooks. The left and right borders are only 4.9mm thick which ensures that the display ratio reaches 90%. Compared with the traditional 16:9 screen ratio of an average 14-inch notebook, the viewing area is improved by 8.4%. This device uses a concealed camera design which is exposed only when needed.
