What kind of PC is "Huawei Matebook 13" in the first place?

Before the participants tried Huawei Matebook 13, Toda introduced the basic specifications and highlights of Huawei Matebook 13.What I noticed was the balance between price and performance.

According to Toda, notebook PCs accounted for 70 % of sales, but selling mobile notebooks is strong.As a result, competition is intense in the areas where all manufacturers are focusing, and price competition is likely to occur.Huawei Matebook 13, which appeared in such a situation, said, "When buying a laptop, check the specifications that you want," Mr. Toda says, "It's a representative era in the era where you can buy good PCs cheaply."Model".

Mr. Toda, who has checked a number of PCs, "I cut less than 100,000 yen and this specification is cheap."

The expected market price is 99,880 yen (Core i5 + 256GB SSD) for the standard model.That said, the latest Wiskey Lake & 4 core Core i5, so the performance is enough.The memory is 8GB, "Lines that cannot be yielded if you use it for a long time, such as 4 to 5 years or more," (Toda -san)."This specification is really cheap after less than 100,000 yen," he said.The upper model is also equipped with Core i7 + 512GB SSD, and the cost performance is high as 129,880 yen excluding tax.

It is also a conscientious point to be able to choose the presence or absence of "Microsoft Office"."If you subscribe to the subscription Office 365, you will be able to install multiple units and always update to the latest version, so many people don't need a pre -installed version."Of course, for those who have difficulty paying monthly, you can select a model with Office by adding 23,000 yen.

Session 1 "Huawei Matebook 13 design and style"

After introducing the basic specifications, it is finally a review party.Huawei Matebook 13 was placed on the participant's table, and I was touched to my heart.At the review party, speakers developed into three sessions.The participants checked the actual machine while listening to the story and tweeted their impressions.

The first theme is "Huawei Matebook 13 designs and styles".The screen size is 13 inches and the thickness is about 14.9mm.It is a thin and light stylish machine with a weight of about 1.28 kg.Murarin and Ikezawa checked the appearance."When it goes down to this price, many models are making cheap, but Huawei Matebook 13 is made without compromising" (Murarin).Mr. Ikezawa pays attention to the material.The top plate and the bottom were metal, and resin was used on the side, which was highly evaluated as "it is used well in parts where the sense of luxury is not impaired."

Luxurious metal is used on the large top plate and the bottom.

Not only the exterior but also the practical surface is carefully considered.First, resolution.This price has 2k (2160 x 1440 dots).According to Toda, "The smartphone is 5-6 inches and a model of 1920 x 1080 dots is common, but the screen is small, so even if it is a full HD equivalent, it is very precise and beautiful.Looking at a PC with a low resolution is disappointing. When choosing a PC, I want to stick to the resolution. "

The point is also a narrow frame with a screen occupation rate of 88 %.The aspect ratio of the liquid crystal is 3: 2, which is vertically long than 16: 9 in a laptop."For example, browsers and Excel are often scrolled down, so if they are long vertically, the amount of information that can be displayed on one screen will increase."Mr. Ikezawa, an engineer, said, "When writing source code, it is more convenient to be long vertically."

The aspect ratio of the liquid crystal is 3: 2 long vertically.The screen occupancy rate is 88 % narrow frame design

It is also important to check that the keyboard is expanded to the last minute on both sides.The key is expandable.Huawei Matebook 13 has a simple configuration with two USB Type-C."Terminals such as wired LAN and D-Sub have a large width, so they have an effect not only on the thinness of the housing but also on the depth. We only look at terminals, but in the back.Naturally, the parts are included, so it is necessary to create a space between both ends of the main unit and the keyboard. Huawei Matebook 13 can take a wide range of keyboard space by installing only USB Type-C. "explanation.

Huawei Matebook 13 is a long vertical aspect ratio, so the keyboard spreading sideways should be narrowed, but you can feel the design of only USB Type-C.By the way, Huawei Matebook 13 also comes with an external dock (HUAWEI MATEDOCK 2) equipped with USB Type-A and D-Sub, so even those who want to use USB memory are safe.

Session 2 "Huawei Matebook 13 performance and function"

In the next session, I deepened the performance and functions of Huawei Matebook 13.First, CPU.According to Mr. Toda, "Basically, mobile notebooks use low -voltage CPUs. There are two types of mobile CPUs, Y processors and U processors, and Y processors have a small heat generated, so tablets and thin PCs.Then, although it tends to be preferred, the performance is a little low. If you just buy it, you may not be bothered by the difference, but if you use it for many years, it will be less likely to deteriorate the performance. "

Huawei Matebook 13 is a U processor.As mentioned above, the high -performance CPU of Whiskey Lake is adopted in 4 cores."Some people don't care much if the SSD is fast now, even if the CPU is inferior, but in the future there may be days when hundreds of thousands of lines are displayed in video editing and Excel, so if you use it for a long time.It is recommended to stick to the CPU (Mr. Toda).

By the way, benchmark is familiar as an indicator of performance, but Toda doesn't like it very much.Of course, the value of the benchmark has never been faster, but it is meaningless if the storage is slow even if the CPU is early for 10 to 20 %, so if you refer to it, only one indicator.He wants to see it in total.When Toda evaluates the performance in reviews, etc., it seems that he cherishes the sensitive speed, such as actually opening a lot of files and checking the startup time.

If you choose the composition that suits you, Mr. Toda is OK.Huawei Matebook 13 clears the specifications recommended by Toda

After all, if you want to buy it now, it will be WiskeyLake and PCIe SSD#matebook13 pic.twitter.com/9fexkvbglm

In addition, Imadoki requires more than 256GB of SSD.Also, backup of smartphones tends to overlook."For example, if you try to back up the entire iPhone, 256GB is not enough. There is a trick, but if you do not have enough capacity, you have to pay a monthly fee and contract with iCloud etc..It will be a good story (Toda -san).

Of course, Mr. Toda says, "Because there is a budget, it is okay to select a model with a small capacity, such as 128GB, based on them," said Toda.Mr. Ikezawa seems to use cloud storage conveniently, saying, "The files used this year are synchronized with the PC, and the files before last year are stored only in cloud storage, so the capacity is reduced."That was.

Session 3 "What is the feeling of use of Huawei Matebook 13?"

The last session talked about the feeling of use of the machine that could not be expressed in the specifications and how it is suitable for use.

At the beginning, Toda -san mentioned the interface."Aside from the desktop, I will never buy a mobile notebook without USB Type-C," says Toda.If it is compatible with USB PD, the AC adapter can be used as a variety of devices, so the luggage will be reduced.The AC adapter attached to this unit says, "I'm glad that it is small despite 65W compatible" (Mr. Toda).It is also convenient when working at home.Mr. Toda explains the advantages that "more external monitors that can be connected with USB Type-C have increased, so it can be used easily."

"Some gadget enthusiasts have a cable hell in the bag, so I'm glad that the cable can be used as a combination," says Ikezawa.It seems that the USB PD group is definitely increasing, saying that Murarin also says, "I don't want to carry a dedicated AC adapter anymore."

Toda also emphasizes the importance of the keyboard."I don't want to use any PC if the keyboard is fit. Personally, the key stroke is as deep as 1.8mm, but recently it is easier to hit shallow, so that's a matter of taste.The important thing is that you do not strike when you hit it. If the foundation hits, the type will worsen. Huawei Matebook 13 is easy to hit because the body is solid. "In addition, sequences such as the size of the BS key and the Delete key are also important.People who often use Excel seem good to check according to how to use, such as needing an arrow key.

It is important to not conflict when you hit the key

Since the power button and fingerprint authentication are also used, it can be started smoothly without being aware of unlocking.

Mr. Toda mentions the screen ratio of 3: 2 of the aspect ratio mentioned in session 1 as to what kind of person Huawei Matebook 13 is suitable for."It's especially suitable for businessmen because the vertical size does not change compared to the 14 -inch machine I have. It is also convenient to display 4: 3 photos. 14 inch workability.It is a little smaller while realizing it, so it doesn't bother you. "(Toda).Mr. Ikezawa said, "It's compact so it's easy to get into a woman's bag. You can buy high -performance machines for less than 100,000, so even students who start the new semester are easy to pick up."

Finally, the participants will be the most fun for the participants, holding a gift competition tournament and closing this event.

In addition to touching the models before the release as soon as possible, it seems to have been a highly satisfying event for participants, as well as the points of actually reviewing them and off -record stories of guests that are not listed in this article.As Mr. Toda, Mr. Ikezawa, and Murarin are talking together, the appeal of Huawei Matebook 13, which has been seen at the reviews, is that it is a model that combines high performance and cospa.How about a new PC in April, when a new life starts, and a partner for work and study?
