Huawei held its Smart Office event today, announcing a few new devices to grow its ecosystem. Among them is a new version of the Huawei MateBook X Pro, now powered by 12th generation Intel processors, as well as the new MatePad Pro tablet. There are also some new accessories and peripherals in tow.
Huawei MateBook X Pro (12th generation Intel Core processor)
One of the biggest announcements is the Huawei MateBook X Pro, which is updated with 12th generation Intel P-series processors. Huawei already presented the updated MateBook X Pro earlier this year at MWC, but it was still packing 11th generation processors. , specifically from the U series, which has a default TDP of 15W. Now, this new model comes with an Intel Core i7-1260P processor, which has a default TDP of 28W (Huawei already claims to have 30W of power in this laptop), has 12 cores, 16 threads, and speeds up to 4.8 gigahertz. , so it is a significant increase in performance compared to the previous generation.
Specs, that’s really the biggest change. It still has 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB SSD of storage. The screen is a 14.2-inch panel with a 3:2 aspect ratio and 3.1K (3120 x 2080) resolution. Additionally, it covers 100% of the sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamut, and supports DisplayHDR 400. It also has a 90Hz refresh rate, which is great to see. Huawei also boasts a six-speaker setup, which should deliver very powerful bass for such a small laptop.
There is another big change in the exterior of this laptop. Huawei introduces two new colors: Ink Blue and White, as well as the classic Space Gray variant. This should help the laptop stand out a bit from the crowd.
Huawei MatePad Pro 11 inch
Also new today is the Huawei MatePad Pro, the company’s latest flagship HarmonyOS tablet. This new iteration comes nearly a year after the 12.6-inch version was introduced last year, and it has some big upgrades. Specifically, the screen, which is an 11-inch Huawei FullView OLED panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1600, with an aspect ratio of 16:10. This new iteration comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the previous model was only 60Hz, so that should already be a smoother experience. The screen also reaches 600 nits of brightness and supports P3 color gamut, in addition to having Delta E < 1, which means color accuracy is very good. It also equips Huawei Sound with an impressive six-speaker setup that delivers a highly immersive media experience.
The Huawei MatePad Pro also comes with a new design language, featuring a circular camera module on the back, and a magnesium build that makes it the lightest 11-inch laptop on the market, according to Huawei. It weighs only 449 grams and is 5.9 mm thick. Huawei has also redesigned the M-Pencil in a new white color that is also coated with a new silicone polymer resin for added comfort and durability. The Smart Magnetic Keyboard extension has also been redesigned with deeper key travel and larger keys overall.
There are also some software improvements to make the tablet experience a bit better. The Gallery app now supports landscape mode, the multi-window feature has been upgraded to be easier to use with one hand, plus you can now open up to four apps on the screen at the same time. There’s also new Huawei Notes that debuted with the MatePad Pro, providing a new way to take notes with the M-Pencil, and it’s also easier to take multiple screenshots with the M-Pencil now.
