Eye-catching and stylish design
Nowadays, many people are sensitive to the difference in performance of notebook PCs. By experiencing remote work, I am keenly aware that the "comfort" of a PC greatly affects work efficiency and output. In other words, choosing a better device is more important than ever.
There is a brand that can be called a dark horse by choosing such an important device. That is Huawei. As you may be surprised, Huawei is developing a wide range of devices from not only smartphones but also PCs, monitors, tablets to wearable devices, and is rapidly growing in the overseas BtoB market. So why are few companies hiring in Japan?
"In a questionnaire survey conducted by us for corporations, we found that 78% of customers in Japan do not know our products for corporations, so they cannot be the basis for consideration" (Huawei Japan).
In other words, until now, it hasn't even reached the stage of choosing a device. In order to solve such a problem at once, Huawei Japan launched a combination of a high-end model of notebook PC, HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, and a monitor with a resolution exceeding 4K, HUAWEI MateView.
Let's start with the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro. First of all, the calm luster of the emerald green metallic body and the stylish design with a thickness of about 14.6 mm are noticeable. If you bring it to an important customer or presentation place, it will be an eye-catching luxury. However, the power of HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is not only the appearance. Everywhere there is a device to support the work in remote work.
Huawei notebook PC "HUAWEI MateBook X Pro". The stylish design of the calm emerald green metallic body, which weighs about 1.33 kg and is about 14.6 mm thick, claims to be a high-spec notebook PC at a glance.One of them is a touch panel display. You can specify the details of the spreadsheet with one touch without using the mouse, and you can close the browser immediately by touching the screen. For example, even if an unexpected intruder appears when using it at home or on the go, the screen can be turned off immediately.
It also has a feature that allows you to easily take a screenshot of the specified area on the screen by swiping down on the screen with three fingers. It is an idea unique to smartphone makers that such intuitive operations can be performed.
Equipped with a unique mechanism to support remote work
The biggest feature is the screen size with an aspect ratio of 3: 2. The vertical width is 18.5% wider than the 16: 9 used by many notebook PCs. Therefore, it is easier to work with frequently used Excel and PowerPoint, or applications such as mailboxes and Web browsing where information is linked in the vertical direction.
Another characteristic of Huawei's notebook PCs is the fingerprint authentication integrated power button. The screen lock can be unlocked instantly by pressing it with your finger, eliminating the need for fingerprint authentication and face authentication that were required every time the power was turned on. Even if this one effort is eliminated, the usability will increase. Also, there is no worry that a young child will turn on the power while working at home. The idea from smartphones is also utilized in this area.
Huawei's original fingerprint authentication sensor integrated power button. Even when the power is off, when you push the button, you can read the fingerprint, memorize it, and log in as it is, so it's smooth.
Another feature of Huawei is the familiar pop-up camera. A normal laptop has a camera at the top of the display, but with the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, it's housed under the function keys on the keyboard and the camera buttons. When you press that button, a small camera will appear.
At online meetings, the moment you connect to the internet, your face is often projected and you'll be warmed up. However, with the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, you can take out the camera at your own timing after accessing the Internet, so there is no such happening. It is also safe in terms of security, such as avoiding the situation where the PC is hijacked and voyeurized due to the invasion of a virus.
This is also Huawei's original pop-up webcam. It is located in the center of the upper part of the keyboard, and when you press it with your finger as shown in the picture, it pops up and starts up. By adopting this mechanism, the PC screen can be made as wide as possible, and there is an advantage that the lens can be closed and privacy can be protected when not in use."High overall strength" that overwhelms other companies' products
By the way, in online meetings, it is often difficult for this voice to reach the other party. That's why many people use headsets, but after using them for a long time, their ears get tired. In that respect, the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro has two built-in microphones in the front part, and it picks up the sound clearly even from a distance of 5 meters (measured by Huawei). You don't need a headset unless you speak unilaterally.
Then how easy is it to carry? The weight of the main body is about 1.33 kg. This is the lightest class compared to other companies' products with a similar display size (about 13.9 inches). The battery lasts for 13.7 hours on a single full charge (according to the JEITA battery operating time measurement method (Ver. 2.0)), which is sufficient for daily work. And if you have 4 hours of office work, you can charge it for 30 minutes.
As for the number of USB ports to be worried about, there are two type C and one type A for the thin design. It's also safe to connect to other devices on the go. Moreover, USB Type C can be shared with the battery cable of Android smartphones, so if you are an Android user, you only need one battery cable to carry when you are on a business trip or going out.
So far, we have listed the advantages of remote work, but the basic performance as a PC is also at a high level. The CPU is equipped with the 11th generation Intel® Core ™ i7-1165G7, and Wi-Fi 6 supports the latest wireless environment. Furthermore, the touchpad at the bottom of the keyboard has a much larger space than a normal notebook PC, and it responds quickly to every corner. Even with that alone, you can feel the good operability and ease of use.
As such, the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro has a high overall strength as a notebook PC, making it a perfect model for remote work.
Increase productivity with high-level monitors
Huawei Japan recommends the 4K resolution monitor HUAWEI MateView in combination with this HUAWEI MateBook X Pro. This is also simple, and the slim metal body with the thinnest part of only about 9.3 mm is eye-catching. Because I was particular about the processing of the back, the design fits well with the interior of my home or office.
Huawei's LCD display HUAWEI MateView. Like the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, it has a 3: 2 aspect ratio, which is a major feature. Since there are few vertically long products for external liquid crystal displays, this product with a large amount of vertical information can be said to be valuable. The beauty of the design also enhances the satisfaction of the owner.The width around the screen called the bezel is only about 6 mm in both vertical and horizontal directions. As a result, the same aspect ratio of 3: 2 as the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is achieved. With this, you can project the image or video of the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro as it is on the screen. This is one of the reasons Huawei recommends the HUAWEI MateView in combination with the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro.
Of course, you can easily link the video with the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro with a single cable, and you can also connect wirelessly. In addition, if it is a PC that can output and supply power with a Type C cable, it can be connected with a single cable, and if it is a Miracast compatible PC, wireless connection is also possible. In addition, it is also convenient to be able to charge the PC side at the same time by connecting with a USB Type C cable.
The main unit is equipped with a microphone and speakers, so you can participate in online meetings without using a headset. It is also convenient to move the 28.2 inch screen up and down with one finger.
As for the essential image quality, it has the expressive power of colors that meets the professional requirements of video and images with high resolution of 4K. Moreover, TÜV has obtained Rheinland certification for its blue light cut and flicker-free function that suppresses screen flicker. It should lead to increased productivity for business people who face the screen for a long time.
Excellent human resources seek high-performance tools
To list the features in this way, the combination of MateBook X Pro and HUAWEI MateView is perfect for remote work in the Wiz Corona era.
Huawei Japan plans to introduce BtoB-only products to the Japanese market in the future. He wants to support Japanese business by providing not only products but also high-quality solutions.
"We, Huawei Japan, are a Japanese corporation and a member of Keidanren. We believe that it is our mission to contribute to the growth of Japan together with the Japanese people." (Huawei Japan)
By introducing the best devices, you can definitely expect an increase in productivity within the company. Many companies will want more talented people than that, but those who can do it in the first place are looking for the best tools. How about adding the option of Huawei to your future device selection?
