Huawei MateBook 13 (2020) review: A low score

It’s a compact laptop with surprisingly powerful features, but we’re not fans of its connectivity. If this laptop were a boxer, it would be short, skinny, and sturdy. It has a lot of power, but that only becomes apparent when you throw it into a fight. This laptop’s power comes from Intel’s 10th-generation Core i7-10510U processor, and thanks to discrete Nvidia graphics, a fast M.2 SSD, and 16GB of RAM, it has all the right components.


Considering the MateBook’s slim frame, this is pretty good for the line. While most 13-inch laptops are over 300mm wide, this is just 286mm. It’s also only 14.9mm thick.
Huawei still found room for one of the best cooling systems we’ve ever seen in an ultraportable, which helps make it one of the fastest laptops we’ve tested with a Core i7-10510U. Just compare it to Huawei’s own MateBook X Pro, a pricier and supposedly more powerful laptop, which the MateBook 13 easily outperformed by 25 percent with an overall benchmark score of 104. The MateBook 13 also lasted several minutes at turbo clock speeds between 4GHz and 4.8GHz to add power. The downside is fan noise, but that only came up during particularly difficult tasks, not general use of the Huawei MateBook laptop.Huawei MateBook 13 Laptop Battery
Battery life is good, if not exceptional; in our tests, a score of 8 hours and 15 minutes is enough to get you through a workday, but you won’t be able to last much longer without a quick recharge.


However, Huawei makes full use of the GeForce MX250 graphics card, which is slightly better than the integrated graphics from Intel and AMD. For example, Metro: Last Light averaged 44.9fps at 1080p, while Dirt: Versus averaged 89.6fps.

That extra performance means you can play many games at the 2,160-by-1,440 screen resolution.
Mental math experts will note that this equates to a Surface Pro-style 3:2 aspect ratio, rather than the 16:9 of most screens. The extra pixels also mean a higher density than a Full HD (1,920-by-1,080) panel, making it easier to see two windows side by side on the screen. It’s also a touchscreen, and color accuracy is good enough even for web designers, with 90.4% sRGB gamut coverage and an average Delta E of 0.94; but not for print designers, as it has 62.9% Adobe RGB coverage. Despite a relatively low contrast ratio of 990:1, don’t despair if you’re looking for an after-get off work entertainment system. It handles dark, moody scenes well, and a pair of decent speakers means you don’t need to plug in headphones. The drums lose something in translation, and you wouldn’t want to listen to heavy metal with it, but the same is true of most laptop speakers.
The only two physical connectors here, aside from a 3.5mm combo jack, are USB-C, one on each side. Huawei bundles an adapter with HDMI, USB, and VGA connectors, but that doesn’t make up for the annoyance that the left USB-C port only supports charging and data transfer, while the right port is for data transfer only. If you want to connect a monitor, you’ll need to dig out that adapter.
We were also disappointed to see 802.11ac wireless instead of Wi-Fi 6, and the only good news for owners of recent Huawei and Honor phones is: With Huawei Share, you can tap your phone to a sticker below the keyboard and quickly share files between the phone and the laptop.


An unfortunate side effect is the Huawei Share sticker itself, which ruins the minimalist lines of this laptop. You can peel it off, but Share will no longer work. There’s a huge trackpad on the left side, paired with a backlit keyboard with large keys. It’s not our favorite way to type, with little feedback, but at least it’s quiet.
Huawei built a fingerprint reader into the power button, but note that the webcam squeezed into the top bezel doesn’t support Windows Hello. It takes terrible photos, but its videos are passable for Zoom.


Should you buy the Huawei MateBook 13? Its speed is indeed excellent, and aside from the Huawei Share tab, it looks great. That said, if you’re spending this much money, you should demand a better keyboard and USB-C ports that actually work like the others. It’s a good laptop, but it lacks a killer punch.
