HUAWEI's top-end notebook PC "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" is now available. Due to the AV playback capability hidden in the slim design, it won the "Planning Award" of the "VGP2018 SUMMER" Video and Audio Section and the "Award" of the Lifestyle Section PC Division.
"HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" and "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" have a resolution of 3,000x2,000 despite being 13.9 inches, and adopt a display that boasts an ultra-minimum frame with a screen-to-body ratio of about 91%. While the high-end model uses the 8th generation Intel Core i7 8550U processor and NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics card, it is an ultra-slim notebook PC with a lightweight body of about 1.33 kg and a thickness of about 14.6 mm. The company's cutting-edge technology in the field of smartphones is used everywhere, and the display made of Corning Gorilla Glass also supports touch operation. With the power button that also has a fingerprint sensor, you can turn the power on and log in with a single touch, and it only takes a few seconds to get to the login screen. It also has unique and substantial functions such as a quad microphone with improved sound collection performance and a pop-up camera embedded in the keyboard. The "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" has a lot of appeal as a high-performance and highly mobile notebook with many interesting functions such as a power button with a built-in fingerprint sensor and a camera embedded in the keyboard, but in fact, the biggest attraction is another. in the characteristics. It is high quality as a PC for AV. First, in terms of video, in addition to the 3,000x2,000 resolution introduced earlier, the monitor has a chromaticity range of 100% (sRGB), a maximum brightness of 450 nits, and a contrast of 1,500:1. Although it is a 3K LCD, it has the ability to fully enjoy 4K video. On the other hand, there is a lot of attention paid to the audio as well. It should be noted that Dolby is equipped with the "Dolby Atmos® Sound System" that was involved in its own development. The speaker consists of two units, a tweeter and a woofer, and by installing a total of four units, it pursues exceptional sound quality and realism for a notebook computer. Equipped with "Dolby Atmos® Sound System" with 2 tweeters and 2 woofers Furthermore, based on the concept of object audio, Dolby Atmos, an acoustic system that realizes a seamless sound field that makes the presence of each speaker invisible, is incorporated. As a result, a spacious and powerful surround sound is achieved. In fact, there is almost no slim book that focuses on the playback quality of AV content so far, and it is a very valuable existence. As a result, it is no wonder that they won the "VGP2018 SUMMER" award. I would like to take a closer look at the multimedia performance of the "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" this time. We borrowed the global version (English keyboard) and checked various AV functions. . In addition to the speaker, this is equipped with a dedicated driver and software, but the adjustment software is very simple and easy to handle. Presets such as "Movie", "Music", "Game" and "Voice" are available as settings, and the intelligent equalizer setting allows you to choose the sound character of "Detail", "Balance", "Warm" and "Flat". The Dolby Atmos® sound system software allows you to adjust the sound quality according to your taste and content. You can combine them into your favorite sound character. Although it is simple, it is quite easy-to-use setting software in that fine adjustments can be made. Well, the specs are pretty promising, but what is the actual ability? I actually played some sample videos and trailers to check the sound.
