Huawei Matebook 14 (2022): A worthwhile upgrade for an already excellent laptop

At the end of January, Huawei suddenly revealed the MateBook 14 (2022) laptop model, which is considered an upgraded version of the previously launched MateBook 14 compact ultrabook.

After a few months on the market, this laptop has quickly received many positive reviews from users thanks to its light weight, compact size but still offers powerful performance. YouTube channel Tally Ho Tech even said that the MateBook 14 (2022) is too high-end product with a great price.

So what are the specific advantages of this ultrabook that has received so much praise?

Minimalist, sophisticated design

Like many other products on the market today, MateBook 14 (2022) possesses a minimalist, ultra-thin and light design with a monolithic metal body that brings a modern and eye-catching look. According to the YouTube channel Modern Creatures, compared to the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, the model with the same price, the MateBook 14 is somewhat thicker, making the weight a bit heavier (1.49kg compared to 1.21kg).

However, that difference is not significant, and users can completely lift the MateBook 14 with one hand quite easily. Most importantly, Modern Creatures emphasizes, the thick aluminum shell will help Huawei’s new ultrabook protect the screen better, because this is one of the most noticeable highlights of this laptop model.

Not only beautiful, the design of the Matebook 14 (2022) is also very solid and smart. According to YouTube channel The Gadget Sidekick, this machine, although thin and light, feels solid and sturdy, even if it’s a little bit forceful, it’s okay. On the underside of the machine, where the cooling fan is located, there are also 2 rubber bands to prevent slipping during use. Finally, this YouTube channel also appreciates the touchpad part thanks to its large area, smooth surface, and ease of use.

Vivid screen

As mentioned above, the screen is one of the proudest points of the Matebook 14 (2022), with an aspect ratio of 3:2, a screen-to-body ratio of 90%, to help display more content. Even though the size is only 14 inches. YouTube channel Modern Creatures says this feature will be very useful, convenient for those who often have to open many windows or software during work.

In addition, with 2K resolution and 100% sRGB color coverage, Matebook 14 (2022) will deliver more vivid images, greater detail, more accurate colors, especially suitable for people do design or create video content like YouTubers. Besides, the blue light reduction mode will partly help protect their eyes, avoiding stress and fatigue after many hours of continuous work.

Not only that, even ordinary users benefit from the screen of the Matebook 14 (2022). According to Modern Creatures, with a screen-to-body ratio of 90%, simple tasks such as surfing the web, reading newspapers, typing documents suddenly become more comfortable and airy without scrolling too much. When using software like Photoshop or Premiere Pro, their workspace also becomes more spacious and comfortable.

Outstanding performance in the price range

Besides the screen, the best value for money of the MateBook 14 (2022) lies in the hardware with the 12th generation Intel Core i5/i7 processor. This is probably also the reason why the Tally Ho Tech YouTube channel did not hesitate to evaluate this ultrabook model as too high-end with a great price. Besides, the machine is also equipped with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD hard drive and Intel®Iris®Xᵉ graphics card.

Tally Ho Tech said that with such a configuration, common tasks clearly cannot make it difficult for the MateBook 14 (2022). In addition, this laptop, if “trying to eat sticky rice”, can still fight the most popular AAA games today, even if it has to reduce the graphics settings a bit. However, Tally Ho Tech emphasized that the MateBook 14 (2022) was originally manufactured not to serve gaming needs, and it is also difficult to ask for an ultrabook that costs just over 20 million to bring gaming experiences. The most perfect game.

Meanwhile, tasks familiar to YouTubers such as editing, editing, and color correcting videos can all be handled well on the MateBook 14 (2022). Modern Creatures said that this laptop model has Huawei’s new heat dissipation architecture, with 2 heat pipes and 2 0.2mm thin blade fans, delivering 50% higher efficiency than its predecessor. As a result, YouTubers can edit videos, or even play games continuously for a long time without worrying about the device getting hot or overheating, affecting performance.

MateBook 14 uses a 56Wh battery, with enough capacity to continuously watch FullHD videos for 11 hours (according to Huawei’s advertisement). That is more than enough for common tasks, because most users will usually only use the device for about 8-10 hours/day. However, even using more battery-hungry software is not too much of a problem. Gadget Sidekick YouTube channel says that this model has built-in 65W fast charging, which can restore the battery in about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

MateBook 14 (2022) can “balance” tasks from basic to advanced, even running some of today’s most popular games.

In addition, to help better sync work, MateBook 14 (2022) is also equipped with a Super Device feature to link with other Huawei devices via Bluetooth. This includes phones, wireless headsets, wireless speakers, keyboards and microphones. Modern Creatures says Super Device will help users focus more on their work, without wasting time switching between devices.

General assessment

It can be said that MateBook 14 (2022) is currently one of the most “small but martial” laptop models in the price range of 20 million VND. YouTube channel Modern Creatures said that Huawei’s new product has brought a delicate balance between exterior design and internal performance, thereby creating a more convenient and intelligent experience for users. Meanwhile, Tally Ho Tech did not hesitate to affirm that this is the best product in this price segment.
