New | Huawei debuts in the laptop world with three new models

China’s technology giant Huawei Technologies unveiled three new Matebook products in Berlin on Tuesday, in an effort to expand income channels for its consumer business group.

Of the three newly launched products, the Matebook X and Matebook D series, which feature indivisible keyboards in a conventional clamshell design.

The MateBook X is an easy-to-carry 13-inch fanless laptop which is also the first notebook to feature Dolby Atmos Sound System with speakers co-designed with Dolby. Available in grey, gold and rose gold, the colour options show that Huawei is seeking to broaden its appeal to female consumers.

The Matebook E series features a 2-in-1 tablet with a folio-style keyboard that rivals Apple’s iPad Pro and Microsoft’s Surface products. The 15.6-inch Matebook D series features high-end specifications that reflect a major improvement over the debut Matebooks last year.

The D series and E series, which are targeted at mid-range markets, are priced starting from €799 (US$893.4) and €999 respectively. Huawei has priced its premium X series between €1,399 and €1,799 euro, depending on specifications.
