Back in February this year, we published an announcement that Huawei was planning on refreshing its Matebook X Pro for 2020. Following on from this, Huawei has announced that it is taking pre-orders on its new Matebook X Pro 2020 models, with both laptops featuring Intel's 10th Gen Comet Lake mobile processors. Available with either an Intel Core i5-10210U and Core i7-10510U processor, the Matebook X Pro features an LTPS 13.9-inch display with touchscreen capabilities. Further to this, Huawei has also announced the pre-order availability of its new Matebook 13 2020 model, which also benefits from Intel's 10th gen Comet Lake mobile processors, with a 512 GB PCIe SSD, and a 13 inch, 2160 x 1440 IPS panel.
The new Huawei Matebook X Pro 2020 model is currently available to pre-order in two different configurations. Starting with the top-spec model, it comes with an Intel Core i7-10510U processor with a 1.8 GHz base frequency and a turbo frequency of up to 4.9 GHz. Included is 16 GB of LPDDR3-2133 memory and a large 1 TB NVMe PCIe SSD, with a 13.9 inch LTPS 3000 x 2000 10-point touchscreen display powered by an NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics chip. The Intel Core i5-10210U Matebook X Pro 2020 model is similar in spec but comes with a slightly smaller 512 GB NVMe PCIe SSD, but with the same 16 GB of LPDDR3-2133 memory.

Also featured within the space grey aluminium alloy frame is a 1-megapixel recessed camera, a Wi-Fi 5 wireless interface with support for BT 5.0 devices, as well as a quad-speaker and microphone array for improved audio output and input quality. Each Matebook X Pro 2020 includes a single USB 3.0 Type-A, two USB 3.1 Type-C ports with support for charging, data transfer, and DisplayPort output capability, as well as a single 3.5 mm microphone and headphone combo jack.

Huawei has also announced two new Matebook 13 2020 models which feature differentiating characteristics to the Matebook X Pro 2020 pair, although it is available in both with an Intel Core i7-10510U and cheaper i5-10510U. Focusing on the higher-spec of the two Matebook's, it is shipped with 16 GB of LPDDR3-2133 memory, and a touchscreen 13 inch, 2160 x 1440 IPS display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, which is powered by NVIDIA's GeForce MX250.

Both Huawei Matebook 13 2020 models share the same space grey aluminium alloy frame with a 512 GB PCIe SSD, two USB Type-C inputs with one support charging, a 1-megapixel front-facing webcam, dual speaker and microphones, with a single 3.5 mm headphone/combo jack for external audio peripherals.

So you only promote fair market with the companies of your choice? Remember you’re living in capitalist world system. If you think consumer products have anything to do with politics, throw away all your belongings that made in China, then you can come back here and shout some more BS.Mitch971 - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
Find me a similar product that don't have made in China components in it.prophet001 - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
Find a similar product that has less China components and whose parent company isn't Chinese and you've won and helped rid the world of that plague.quorm - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
What difference does it make where the parent company is from? Same Chinese people assembling the same components regardless, and it's not like US companies are paying their taxes.Valantar - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - link
No, no, you got it all wrong: as an (assumed) American citizen you have a civic duty to enrich the CEOs and other moneyed classes. How else are they to maintain their mansions and private jets, and maintain the illusion of freedom in the country? You are free to not have your tax money provide essential services to you, and you are free to give what little money your salary provides you with to whichever ultra-rich person you choose. That is true freedom!PeachNCream - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - link
Geopolitics seems to be driving a lot more of the thinking of some people these days. It is a disappointment to see this kind of conflict happening because it comes moreso at the cost of average people than to the wealthy or those in a leadership position that can certainly afford to see a decrease in pay while maintaining a comfortable lifestyle over those low income wage workers that are already at or below generally accepted levels of poverty.TheRuchika - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link

The original Matebook X was fanless. Will the Matebook 13 2020 will also be? Seems impossible to find anything fanless that doesn't run ChromeOSbuycheaprdp - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - link
