Huawei Matebook laptops are probably the most overlooked when it comes to a user’s choice preference, especially when it comes to ultrabooks. It isn’t because Huawei Matebooks doesn’t offer anything out of the ordinary or groundbreaking, it’s because of the brand’s involvement in the ongoing US vs China trade war. Caught in the crossfire, Huawei continued launching its products and built up contingencies to counter the effects caused by these two nations. But that didn’t stop Huawei from releasing the Huawei Matebook D 15 alongside the famed Mate 30 Pro.
The Huawei Matebook laptops are known for their minimalist design, well-equipped specs, and competitive price-point. The Matebook series made its debut in MWC 2016 in the form of a 2-in-1 device. The Matebook D 15 is the latest product from the series and aims to be a valuable alternative against premium 15″ laptops. Does it hold out against the competition? Let’s find out
