New Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024

Huawei has unveiled its latest iteration of the MateBook X Pro laptop at its “Hongmeng Eco Spring Communication Conference” held in China. The new iteration focuses on a thin, light design, powerful performance, and innovative features. Let’s go through the details in this article.

Specifications:

The new MateBook X Pro boasts a remarkably lightweight design, tipping the scales at 980 grams. This makes it lighter than even the 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air.

The chassis is constructed with aviation-grade magnesium alloy for durability while maintaining a sleek profile. Huawei also touts using a new “Cloud Falcon architecture” alongside the industry-first “diamond aluminum material” for achieving this balance of weight.

The MateBook X Pro packs a punch in terms of performance too. It is equipped with up to the latest Core Ultra 9 processor, capable of delivering up to 40W of performance.

Pricing and Availability:

The X Pro can be configured to your budget. The base model starts with an Ultra 7 processor (155H), 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD, which costs CNY 11,000 ($1,520/€1,420/₹130,000) after a small discount. Upgrading to 32GB RAM is CNY 1,500 extra, while the top-specced model with a Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, and 2TB SSD goes for CNY 15,000. The laptop is currently in a pre-sale, but proper sales will start soon (April 18th for the base model).
