In the midst of several smartphone unveilings, Huawei made a decision to launch their 12-inch display Windows 10 tablet plus keyboard cover during one of the world's biggest gadget conventions. Huawei says MateBook's screen takes up 84 percent of the tablet's face. Being a new contender in the 2-in-1 tablet industry, Huawei has had time to fine-tune the MateBook, making its specs and features rival and even exceed those of competitors. "We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Huawei in this growing 2-in-1 market".
Powered by Microsoft's Windows operating system, the convertible MateBook is Huawei's first tablet-laptop hybrid and is aimed at the business market.
"Our collaboration with Huawei offers consumers a new way to experience Windows 10 on a beautifully designed device", said Peter Han, Vice President, Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corp. Another innovation brought by Huawei in this device is a new digital pen that accompanies the Mate Book.
It will do so by offering a range of features that has productivity in mind and style.
The weight of the newly developed MateBook is approximately 640 grams and entails a fingerprint sensor, a feature used to unblock the device. This is already at par with the thickness of Apple's iPhone 6.
The MateBook starts at $700 plus tax, and another $129 for the keyboard. An accessories kit will also be included with a stylus pen, USB, and HDMI adapters. The built-in touchpad uses multi-touch technology that supports smooth and precise finger movements, combining comfort and utility. We'll be impressed if it lasts that long, especially considering the gorgeous 12-inch 2160 x 1440-pixel display and 6.9mm thickness.
I'm pretty keen on the MateBook's design. The device will be powered by a 33.7 Lithium-ion battery which according experts will last for 10 hours with average use. The MateBook's battery can attain a full charge in just two-and-a-half hours.
It is also fast charging that easily filled with 60 percent in just one hour and can be fully charged in 2.5 hours.
The hybrid comes with 8GB of memory for mobile use, and a hard drive with 512GB of space. First it was Alcatel with its PLUS 10 and now it's Huawei with MateBook.
The aptly named MatePen offers 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and includes a laser pointer and presentation buttons.
Huawei did not reveal pricing or availability, although the company does not now sell its consumer devices in the US The firm also did not say whether the keyboard and accessories will be sold separately.
