The professional who is in charge of this report. He used to be the editor-in-chief of Asky Weekly and is now the producer of Aski's editorial department.
Huawei is already the most advanced PC manufacturer.
When it comes to Huawei, the crying child is also an unknown smartphone male. The camera equipped with the Huawei P20 has high shooting ability and output photos in the new era, which has changed the common sense of mobile cameras.
Readers of Aski, I think many people know that the PC launched by Huawei has gradually changed the common sense of the computer world from its novel specifications and designs and unique functions. Here, I want to verify Huawei's PC while using the core model "HUAWEI MateBook D".
Start reviewing the footprints of the tablet HUAWEI MateBook
Japan first launched the "HUAWEI MateBook" in July 2016. the first Windows machine was a 12-inch 2in1 tablet with a 12-inch LCD and a resolution of 2160 × 1440 dots, featuring high precision and brightness. Continuous use for 9 hours at the same time, the thickness is 6.9 mm, weighs 640 grams, ultra-thin and lightweight, it is simply a computer developed in the smartphone world with LCD, battery and energy-saving technology.
In July 2017, in addition to inheriting the first generation of HUAWEI MateBook's "HUAWEI MateBook E", it also launched the first clam shell compact notebook "HUAWEI MateBook X". X is also a slim and flat design, and the confusing three colors such as blank gray, pre-fixed gold and rose gold are also novel. Although it is a 13-inch clam shell, the LCD has a resolution of 2160 × 1440 at a ratio of 3 to 2, which is an unprecedented new specification. Moreover, the screen body ratio is 88%, the frame is narrow, and the body size is controlled at 286x211x12.5mm.
The pink on the left is the fanless "HUAWEI MateBook X" of the core I. On the right is the "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" with 3000 × 2000 LCD points.
Content can also be equipped with the core i7/i5 while achieving fanless, built-in fingerprint authentication function on the circular power button, can be started at the same time for personal authentication, here, "the male of the smartphone" PC also makes people feel very powerful. Of course, I personally bought rose powder, which goes without saying.
"HUAWEI MateBook D" went on sale in Japan in September 2017. The other is the 15.6 narrow frame shell, although it is a slim design, it has a built-in GeForce940MX, although it is a "sheepskin" machine, but the easy-to-buy price setting is very attractive.
This year, the new PC "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" was unveiled at MWC2018, a smartphone event held in Barcelona in February 2018 as usual. Everyone is looking forward to the flagship mobile phone "P20" will be transferred next month, this is a thorny news, I am very surprised, uncle.
The X Pro is a 13.9 narrow frame and a new-sized advanced mobile notebook. Of course, the picture is 3: 2 with a 3000 × 2000 LCD. There is even a built-in GeForce MX150 for adult NVIDIA, which surprised us again.
At the same time, HUAWEI MateBook D has also been upgraded to produce 2018 models. Of course, it comes with an eighth generation (8G) core and GeForce MX150. The speed sense of carefully updating CPU and GPU within half a year is also an advantage of the footwork of mobile phone manufacturers.
The latest CPU+ the latest GPU uses SSD+HDD without anxiety, and the price is super attractive
The roof is aluminum, which is very disappointing. In the center, the HUAWEI logo shines brilliantly. Unlike the X series, there is no mark.
So it's finally the latest HUAWEI MateBook D. The LCD is 15.6in, with a full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 dots) and a base area of about 358mm wide and 239mm deep. LCD screen about 345 mm x 195 mm, left and right LCD size + 13 mm. It feels like a lap smaller than the model 15 notebook from a long time ago.
At the bottom, there is a slit for inhaling air from the rear (upper side of the photo) with four round rubber feet. As you can see, the speaker is set down to the left and right of the front side (the lower side of the photo).
The color of the fuselage is divided into silver and light blue, and the official names are "Mistick Silver" and "Aurora Blue". It's all that color on the outside, and the LCD is surrounded by dark gray. Moreover, the silver model of the keyboard is as silver as the outside, but the keyboard face of the light blue model is black and quite sharp.
The silver color of the HUAWEI MateBook D is on the left and the light blue model is on the right. The most different is that the color of the keyboard surface (palmrest) is silver and black.
The LCD is dark gray around, especially the left and right frame is narrow, it looks very narrow.
Basically, silver is the upper specification, light blue is the lower, the specification and color are unfortunately fixed. I'd like a light blue place of the highest standard.
上位モデルのCPUはもちろん4コア8スレッドとなった第8世代インテル®Core™ i7-8550U プロセッサーで、下位は第8世代 インテル®Core™ i5-8250U プロセッサーを搭載している。メインメモリはともにDDR4の8GBである。
注目の外部GPUは上位モデルのみNVIDIA様の「 NVIDIA®GeForce®MX150」を内蔵し、専用VRAMもGDDR5で2GB積んでいる。下位モデルは内蔵グラフィックのインテルUHD620を使うこととなる。
The storage is the lower model, and like the original generation, there is only HDD for 1TB. In contrast, the upper silver model is equipped with 128GB SSD on this basis. Of course, the C drive with the Windows system is SSD,1TB 's HDD assigned to the D drive as a data disk.
Although it has become the core of the eighth generation, the price is as reasonable as the previous generation. Auroral blue model i5-8250U memory 8 GB,HDD1TB carries, of course, LCD 15.6 full HD, volume store including tax 94820 yen 10 point reduction, so the essence is about 85000 yen. Other companies have optical drives for machines of the same size, but domestic manufacturers' products are, needless to say, cheaper than their foreign counterparts.
Mistick Silver i7-8550U plus SSD 128GB, built-in GeForce 127,220 yen, so it is actually 115,000 yen. This is also not close to the competitor's price, want to manage within 0.5 seconds.
By the way, the first generation of the 2017 model HUAWEI MateBook D is only the HDD model, in fact, we got the news that there is an M.2 terminal inside, we have decisively removed the backplane to sneak into the inside, and insert the SSD on the idle terminal. Although drives can be well added, please note that disassembly and modification are not guaranteed by the manufacturer.
The keyboard is comfortable and the quiet interface is safe.
Japanese keyboard put into use in 2018 model. The key of "Stone" is a little small, but the size of the main key is beautiful.
The keyboard is a Japanese array (the first generation was English only), has no number keys, and is the style of arranging a column of functions to the right of the enter key.
Because keystrokes are neat and repulsive as slim notes, this is a keyboard worth typing. Having said that, because even if you hit hard, it will not produce an unpleasant sound, so you can safely enter words in the meeting. The surface of the top of the key is slightly rough, and it won't be tricky even if the hand is used by Abrado himself for a long time.
Although it is very thin, the keystroke is deep and easy to hit. Personally, I would be very happy if I could choose US arrangement.
The size of the touchpad is exactly 105 x 65 mm. The surface is smooth and the fingers will not get stuck. The click is short and the sound is not that loud, even in meetings and quiet places, you don't have to worry about the people around you.
Until recently, when it comes to wide-frame type 15 notebooks, there must be a numeric keypad, which is also a bit rigid. As a result, both the original location and the touchpad will shift to the left from the main body of the laptop, which is in a bad mood. If you put your hand on the platform directly, the picture will shift to the right. I also know that if type 17, but now the type 15 notebook does not need a numeric keypad.
The power switch is connected to the right side of the keyboard in a circular form and feels like being pressed. Unlike the X series, it is a bit regrettable that the power button does not have a built-in fingerprint sensor.
The thickness of HUAWEI MateBook D is about 16.9mm, and it feels very thin in actual hands. Especially type 15, this thickness is very small. This is a relief of aluminum. Other companies' premium 15 notebooks are 17-19mm, so D can be said to be slim.
The weight is about 1.9kg, the actual measurement of the silver model, the result is 1868 grams. Although a 15-inch notebook is very light, it still feels uncomfortable to put in the bag. Nevertheless, because it is slim, it can be taken out and taken out well, because it is hard, so the sense of security when carried with you is very high.
On the right side of the main body is USB2.0 type A, on the left is the full size of the power terminal and HDMI, USB3.0 type A × 2, and headphone Jack.
There is only one USB type A terminal facing the right side of the body. On the left are two power terminals and HDMI, and two USB type A. I call the laptop with type An on the right a "friendly setting", but whether it's using a mouse or plugging in USB memory, the right side is important to me, who is right-handed.
There are no slots to install miniature SD and SD cards, and there are no popular C-type terminals. With three types of A terminals, it finally exceeds. Although it's a bit of a pity, according to the specification table, the USB on the right is 2.0 and both on the left are 3.0, so inserting to the left is faster when using the corresponding USB memory and memory card reader.
The OS is "Windows10Home". Of course, because of the GeForce, there is also a built-in NVIDIA control panel, and the setting of GPU can also be changed. It also has a built-in Dolby Atmos sound system, and the familiar Coltana can speak in a good voice. At the top of the LCD screen, there are two microphones on both sides of the camera. Mr. Coltana was summoned to recognize his voice not only in front of PC, but also from the other side of the room.
Therefore, the actual carry-on or expected benchmark test and its verification look forward to the next.
Because my face is so large, it may be difficult to understand, but the size of the HUAWEI MateBook D shortens the short edge of the B4 slightly.
