Huawei announces hardware refreshed MateBook X Pro at MWC keynote

During Huawei’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) keynote, Richard Yu, the Chinese tech giant’s CEO, took to the stage to reveal a refreshed version of the MateBook X Pro.

The ultra-thin, MacBook-like laptop features a 91 percent screen-to-body ratio, and is rumoured to launch later this year alongside the company’s Mate X foldable smartphone.

Similar to last year’s MateBook X Pro, this new, refreshed version of the laptop features a full metal uni-body and an aesthetic that is heavily inspired by Apple’s MacBook Air line.

Other MateBook X Pro specs Yu revealed during the keynote include the laptop’s 3,000 x 2,000 screen resolution, 1,733Mbps peak Wi-Fi rate and a full speed Thunderbolt-3 port that’s capable of hooking up to a 4K external display or a external graphics card.

Finally, the laptop also features Intel’s latest 8th-generation Kaby Lake processors and Nvdia’s recently announced GeForce MX 250 graphics card. It’s unclear if the X Pro will be released in Canada, but we’ve reached out to Huawei for pricing and Canadian availability.

Finally, the company showed off a feature that allows files to be transferred between the MateBook X and Huawei smartphones easily. Along with the MateBook X, Huawei also revealed the MateBook 14, a laptop that features lower-end hardware but a similar design.

While the MateBook X didn’t launch in Canada initially, Huawei eventually started selling it through Microsoft’s online store back in May of 2018.
