Huawei MateBook 16s Review - Large multimedia laptop with an Alder Lake i7

Huawei has now furnished the multimedia notebook MateBook 16 with an Intel processor and calls it the MateBook 16s. Buyers also get a Thunderbolt 4 port, a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 6E module, and a bit more key travel. Other than that, there isn't much of a difference. Does that justify a price increase of 500 Euro (US$510)?

Laptop manufacturers are increasing prices like crazy and creating unbalenced products. They will get a very nasty surprise.

Again, the same thing - a stupid and brainless imitation of Apple from the Chinese, despite the fact that it is x86 and a terrible buggy Windows 10/11 turned into a solid alpha-version, which is cynically tested, in a live way, right on the buyers of this rubbish for their own money. Why a pitiful cropped 16" keyboard? Why a glossy screen with a lot of glare in difficult lighting conditions and quick eye fatigue or even the inability to use this "miracle" normally, and even wildly slow panek by response time в 2022? Again, no RJ45 with 2.5-5Gb/s chip for stable connection, despite the fact that there is plenty of space in the back panel.

Again, the audio jack only on the left. What about lefties peoples? Why not 2 audio connectors - on left and right side - and as a backup one and as a convenience for both right-handed and left-handed people?

Again, usb power connector perpendicular to the laptop case on the left (when these idiots in companies don't understand that the power connector should not stick out to the side and be angular (and mag safe)?), where the right-handed legs lie on the sofa with a laptop connected to the PSU (otherwise, the processor speed drops dramatically from battery, which this product does not shine from PSU with anyway from factory, judging by the dynamics in CBR15)

As a result, Huawei is shamefully trying to imitate Apple macs, but their product was not even close in terms of autonomy, noise, or ease of use (there is not at least 10 hours of battery life in heavy surfing - you need to use it with a power supply) with Apple. Even in terms of resolution and screen quality, they lose sharply to Apple.

And at the same time, they break the wild price of 1700 euros, despite the fact that this hodgepodge with such hardware cannot cost more than 1000.

The Chinese, breaking such a wild margin, did not even have the mind to checkmate. 165Hz panel as in Legion 5 Pro with 500 nits with HDR/DV+FreeSync/G-Sync (it's really pointless here without a video chip).

It turns out a miserable overgrown typewriter, with a slow fuzzy screen, when it turn the text into a mess when scrolling, which cannot be used on the street - because it is too dim and glare and miserable autonomy, unlike Apple.

Amen.
Another piece under the bulldozer. We buy these laptops the worst of all, which is proved by their long lying in retail. But tasty models from other manufacturers are selling like hot cakes at noon. And it is immediately clear that the average consumer is not a complete fool at all ...


Huawei, to be the first and the leader, you need to have the brains of your managers and developers, have a broad outlook and not make pathetic attempts to imitate where you have no chance compared to leaders who have access to advanced technical processes and have their own processors and own OS. If you are already making a business laptop (or is it a glamorous miracle for girl bloggers?) - then do it according to all the rules. As mentioned above.

Press there, what Apple loses in
1. a normal full-fledged keyboard for business and science with a numeric keypad (or easily replaced by one yourself with one bolt, like in Thinkpad),
2. a bunch of conveniently located ports, including at least one usb-a 10Gb/s and usb-c TB4.0 with DP1.4b on each side, if powered by usb-c - a connector for it either on the back or on the side with an angled plug initially. An additional angled, round power connector is desirable with an edge on the left or right.
RJ45 with 2.5-5Gbps chip with connector on the back.
HDMI 2.1 with 48Gbps.

3, fast and responsive matrix at 144-165Hz (response below 10ms guaranteed). With contrast from 1500:1+ for matte panel. Bright for the street, at least - 600 nits. Viewing angles are 178/178, not 170/170 as they rivet a bunch of garbage these days. 4k matrix very disired, but don't understand this - according to the principle that they found in Chinese bazaars.

4. Quiet cooling system up to 30-35% of the load on the cores.

5. 2 memory slots or MINIMUM 32GB soldered LPDDR5 6400+ with real pumping from 70GB/s.

6. Normal after-sales service (including easy replacement of everything even after 4-5 years). Minimum 2 year warranty, 3 is better.

And then people of labor, business, science, will finally begin to look at your products with interest and may choose not Apple, Dell, HP and Lenovo, but you...

You can even say so - in 2022, a laptop with dimensions of 15.6 or more is not capable of diverting 30-35W from the case at the minimum speed of the cooler (s) (so that there is no noise at all or minimally distinguishable noise in a room with ambient noise of 20-22dB) cooler or passively - there is essentially low-tech garbage, and not a high-tech product worthy of attention in 2022 ..

Even an office laptop today must have a panel with a response of no more than 10 ms, because. otherwise, surfing and scrolling text in documents becomes a torture for the eyes, and today this is a typical use. Any laptop without a minimum of 1200:1 should not even be considered for purchase. As with angles less than 178/178. There is nothing to say about high-frequency PWM. Laptops with PWM at 60-300Hz panels should be immediately ignored in retail if your eyes and autonomic nervous system are dear to you ...

The buyer look at the screen years after the purchase. The screen should be as sharp as possible in terms of the quality of text and photos. This is achieved only by the maximum ppi, which means that only screens with a resolution of 4k or more today actually deserve attention for long-term work with text and graphics. Not to mention that the screen brightness should be flexibly adjusted up to 5-10 nits at a minimum for use in the dark, if necessary.

I'm also very saddened that laptops don't have an optical spdif output with galvanic isolation from laptop power circuits. Now such a port is sometimes available only in top models of rare manufacturers, although many laptops previously had it. Wild stupidity to install one audio jack, and not at least 2 from different sides of the laptop.

I really regret that all manufacturers have removed the eSATA port, because. it allowed to test the HDD upon purchase, in programs like MHDD4/Victoria/HDAT2 and usb to esata adapters are unfortunately not recognized in such software and cannot work outside of Windows/Unix in exclusive mode.

Can you please clarify why a video chip is needed and what kind of video chip it should be?

Overpriced crap...  I have IIISi Z16 creator hiroshi fujiwara and mini led screen and 1000 nits and 3060 RTX and I paid £1000

Thanks for letting us know that you bought a laptop cooler than this. I guess you can post also on all other laptop reviews (relevance to topic: ZERO).

Also I don't know what brand is this "IIISi". Should it be MSI ? Strange. You also posted this crappy comment in GSMArena forum for Matebook 16s. Seems you really like to bash Huwei.

I wonder if it's better than Ryzen 5 4600H? I just thought about having Matebook D16 on AMD (because it also has place for another SSD)
