When playing PUBG on the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, be sure to have a mouse and a gaming headset.Needless to say, the mouse is essential equipment, but a surround-compatible headset that can detect the position of other players with gunshots and footprints is also an important item to win "Don win".
The "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro" released by Huawei, which is familiar with smartphones and tablets, is a mobile notebook PC developed to meet the demands of "professional creators" as you can see from the name "Pro".
However, its high performance is not only for work, but rather for entertainment purposes! So, let's enjoy the battle royale game "PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG)", which is showing great excitement beyond the platform, with HUAWEI MateBook X Pro this time.
Why HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is suitable for games
First, let's explain two reasons why the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is ideal as a gaming notebook PC. The first is that it has "external graphics" (only for models with Intel® Core ™ i7-8550U processor). The CPU also has "internal graphics" for processing graphics, but external graphics is a processor that specializes in image processing, and greatly speeds up 2D and 3D drawing processing. Currently, external graphics are widely used in creative apps, but games are still the biggest beneficiaries.
"Intel UHD Graphics 620" displayed in the item of display adapter is internal graphics, "NVIDIA GeForce MX 150" is external graphics.There are also apps that aim for even higher speeds by using both at the same time.
The second reason why it is suitable for gaming applications is that it has a display with a high brightness of 450 cd / m 2 and a wide color gamut of 100% sRGB. The graphics in the game are bright and displayed in rich colors, so you can clearly see the surroundings even in dark scenes, and you can enjoy beautiful scenery with plenty of realism.
When I measured the display of the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro with a color calibration device, I was able to confirm a wide color gamut with an sRGB coverage rate of 99.2% and an sRGB ratio of 100.7%.It has a color gamut above the standard for mobile notebook PCs.
What are the features of the external graphics "NVIDIA GeForce MX150"?
The external graphics "NVIDIA ® GeForce ® MX150, GDDR5 2GB" installed in the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is a graphic chip developed for mobile notebook PCs. The developer, NVIDIA, claims that it can expect up to four times the performance of the internal graphics "Intel HD Graphics 620" installed in the " Intel® Core ™ i5-8250U processor". It also uses NVIDIA Optimus technology, which optimizes performance for mobile laptops, and is designed to improve graphics performance while reducing power consumption.
Immediately, I compared the performance of the internal graphics "Intel HD Graphics 620" and the external graphics "NVIDIA GeForce MX150" with benchmark software on the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro. Performance improvement of about 2.32 times from "1120" to "2595" in "Fire Strike" of "3DMark", and about 1.71 times from "51.82 fps" to "88.82 fps" in "OpenGL" of "CINEBENCH R15.0" I was able to confirm. Of course, the effect depends on the application, but the "NVIDIA GeForce MX150" should enrich the gaming experience with high graphics performance.
"NVIDIA GeForce MX150" is an external graphic for mobile notebook PCs.It's a processor that emphasizes the balance between performance and power consumption.
The left is the score of "Intel HD Graphics 620", and the right is the score of "CINEBENCH R 15.0" when the external graphics "NVIDIA GeForce MX150" is enabled. When "NVIDIA GeForce MX150" is enabled, "OpenGL" has improved about 1.71 times from "51.82 fps" to "88.82 fps".You can display graphics smoothly with a larger number of frames.
Another reason why the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is suitable for games is to reproduce the realistic sound field with 4 speakers, but when playing FPS games like PUBG, which we will discuss this time, headsets It is better to prepare and play. Determining the direction of the gunshot is an important factor in winning an FPS. It's a waste not to use high-performance speakers, but the sound from the speakers is inevitably affected by the surrounding environmental sounds and wall reflections. To immerse yourself in the battlefield, we recommend wearing headsets and headphones.
The fact that the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is a lightweight and thin mobile notebook also helps to expand the gaming style of game lovers. Normally, if you want to play high graphics PC games in recent years, you need to prepare a desktop machine or a slightly rugged gaming notebook PC, but HUAWEI MateBook X Pro with a 13-inch footprint and a weight of about 1.33 kg Then, you can carry it with you anytime and enjoy comfortable gameplay anywhere. You can enjoy your usual games at your friend's house, at a hotel on a business trip, or at an inn when you go out for a vacation.
