Huawei has announced two new thin and light laptops under the Matebook D lineup. For late 2019, the two models come in 14″ and 15.6″ sizes while weighing just under 1.7kg. Even with the difference in size, the starting price of both models is CNY 3699(~P27K). It’s only available in China (for now). And if you’re wondering if it runs Windows 10 OS, yes, it does. Alternatively, some SKUs run Linux out of the box.

RAM starts at 8GB with an option for 16GB. Last but not least is the inclusion of up to 512GB SSD storage. As for port selection, here’s what you get:
- 1 x USB-C
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x USB 3.0
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x audio jack
An important feature to note is that the smaller model comes with a larger battery at 56Wh, as opposed to the 42Wh of the larger model. For the rest of the specs, the screen is of 1080p IPS LCD with slim bezels around it, a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello, and a hidden webcam in the keyboard, like the MateBook X Pro. The MateBook D lineup takes inspiration from the Apple MacBook lineup, given the Mystic Silver and Space Gray color options. In the Philippines, only the MateBook 13 is available to purchase. It has a starting price of P55,990 for the i5 model and goes up to P69,990 for the i7 model.
