At ASCII Club, a member service of ASCII, various serials and special features that only members can read are updated daily.
Today, I would like to introduce a popular article from the ASCII Club, "HUAWEI MateBook D 15 Actual Machine Review = It was a super bargain notebook PC in the 60,000 yen range excluding tax!".
Huawei announced the 15.6-inch Windows 10 laptop "HUAWEI MateBook D 15" on March 24. The biggest feature of this product is cost performance. The estimated market price for the Ryzen 5 3500U model is 69,800 yen excluding tax, and the Ryzen 7 3700U model has a low price of 89,800 yen excluding tax.
Still, the metal body has a very high texture, and it is comparable to Apple's MacBook series. Since we borrowed the Ryzen 5 3500U equipped model, let's deliver the actual machine review.
Huawei "HUAWEI MateBook D 15" 69,800 yen
A notebook PC with no outstanding individuality but excellent total balance
The model equipped with Ryzen 5 3500U (4 cores 8 threads, 2.1-3.7 GHz) has 8GB of memory (DDR4-2400), It has a 256GB SSD (PCIe connection). The model with Ryzen 7 3700U has the same memory capacity, but the SSD is 512GB.
The display uses a 15.6-inch FHD IPS liquid crystal (1920 x 1080 dots, aspect ratio 16:9, brightness 250cd/m2, contrast ratio 800:1, glossy). The color gamut has not been announced, but the measured sRGB coverage was 62.4%. The sRGB coverage rate of a typical mobile notebook PC is over 90%. It seems that the liquid crystal panel is a sensible thing to lower the price.
Measured with the color calibration device "i1Display Pro" and the chromaticity diagram creation application "ColorAC", the sRGB coverage rate is 62.4% and the sRGB ratio is 62.8%.
The communication function supports 11ac for Wi-Fi and 5.0 for Bluetooth. A wired LAN terminal is not provided, so a wired LAN adapter is required in offices where Wi-Fi connection is not allowed.
The size is 357.8 x 229.9 x 16.9mm and the weight is 1.53kg. It has a built-in battery of about 42 Wh, and the JEITA 2.0 standard claims a battery life of about 8.2 hours.
To summarize the specs, I wanted a model with 16GB memory, but 8GB is not inconvenient at the moment unless you start multiple heavy applications at the same time or handle large amounts of data. It doesn't have any outstanding individuality, but considering the price, it's a notebook PC with an excellent total balance.
In addition to the main unit, a USB-C AC adapter, charging cable, quick start guide, and PC recycling mark sticker are included.
Employs a metal body at a low price. Only available in space gray
Bar-type rubber feet are attached to the bottom hinge side. Bar-type rubber feet are equipped to prevent the hot air exhausted from the rear from being taken in from the bottom, but this product has a slight gap.
Front view (top) and back view (bottom). Since the dual microphone is attached to the keyboard side, it is easy to hear the keystroke sound when talking while typing
The interface has a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB 2.0 x 2 on the right side, and USB Type-C x 1, USB 3.0 x 1, and HDMI x 1 on the left side.
The screen share is 87%. There is no built-in webcam on top of the display
The key pitch is actually around 19mm
The actual keystroke is around 1.5mm
