The HUAWEI laptops are finally coming to Singapore. It was supposed to launch last year but was scrapped due to US blacklisting. Now, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 and MateBook D 15, together with the HUAWEI MatePad Pro tablet are here.
If you are using the Huawei products like their mobile phones, I think the Huawei laptops will be even more interesting. For example, their laptop charger is a 65w USB charger which also supports FastCharging on Huawei’s phones. They are super small.
The MateBook 13 and MateBook D are slightly different. For example, the MateBook 13 does not have any USB port, has Intel 10th generation chipset, and has 2 USB-C ports.
The MateBook D 15 comes with USB-C port, USB-A ports, HDMI port, and has AMD Ryzen chipset. I suggest that you check out the specs below.
And for the HUAWEI MatePad Pro, if you purchase it now, you can get the magnetic keyboard and M-Pencil as a bundle.
And BTW, the M-Pencil can be wireless charged via the MatePad Pro.
The MatePad Pro can also transform into a PC-like setting which Huawei called it the PC Mode.
And the MatePad Pro can be wirelessly charged. It also comes with the reverse charge feature.
However, do note that HUAWEI MatePad Pro does not have GMS (Google Mobile Services). Instead, it is powered by HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) and running on EMUI 10 which base is Android 10. You will not get Google Playstore. Instead, you will get Huawei AppGallery.

The laptop boasts a HUAWEI FullView design with an industry-leading screen-to-body ratio of 88 percent[1]. It comes with 3:2 high-quality 2K display and side bezels measuring only 4.4mm[2] to allow display of more content with vivid details, speed and accuracy. A 2K HUAWEI FullView Display with Multi-touch is also available as an option which tracks multiple touch inputs with high precision and supports Finger Gesture Screenshot.
Powered by its 10th Generation Intel® Core™ processor, 16 GB dual channel RAM and impressive graphics processing powers, users can expect fast reading and writing speeds, image and video editing tasks, as well as entertainment experiences.
Meanwhile, the new HUAWEI MateBook D15 Series joins the MateBook family as a PC targeting younger consumers, offering an innovative smart experience in a design that is signature to the HUAWEI MateBook series.
Both the HUAWEI MateBook 13 and MateBook D 15 are fitted with the HUAWEI Shark Fin Design 2.0, new s-shaped fan blades which optimises air flow dynamically for improved cooling and laptop performance. The Intelligent Filtering solution also monitors temperature change in real time and ensures stable performance, providing for maximum thermal cooling without any noise or disruptions to the usage.
Rethink creativity and performance with HUAWEI MatePad Pro
Representing a breakthrough in design, technology and mobile productivity, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro features a large display with ultra-narrow 4.9mm[3] bezels and the world’s highest tablet screen-to-body ratio at 90 percent[4]. The tablet comes with high-quality features like 2K QHD resolution and high-amplitude quad-channel quad-speaker, offering superior entertainment and audio experience.
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro delivers excellent battery life thanks to the high-capacity 7250mAh battery and power-saving features integrated into the Kirin 990 flagship chipset and EMUI. It is also the world’s first tablet to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, providing a convenient and reliable alternative for users to keep their devices powered throughout the day[5]. The tablet’s micro-curved design ensures a comfortable hold while the magnesium alloy frame keeps it light yet durable. It is also a great companion for work with accessories to elevate the experience such as the HUAWEI M-Pencil[6] to deliver a natural and intuitive writing process and the Smart Magnetic Keyboard[7] that can be easily connected via Bluetooth.
Enjoy intelligent all-scenario user experience
To drive the future with new innovations catering for all scenarios and delivering an interactive experience, both the HUAWEI MateBook Series and HUAWEI MatePad Pro are fitted with Multi-screen Collaboration, a function of Huawei Share for advanced cross-platform functionality. This feature seamlessly incorporates Huawei laptops, tablets and smartphones in an ecosystem for a more intelligent and efficient experience.
Huawei devices can now share a single display – contents saved in the Huawei smartphone can be viewed directly on the laptop or tablet and files can also be transferred simply by dragging from one interface to the other. Users can also play music saved on the smartphone, pick up calls or respond to text messages directly from the laptop or tablet.
The HUAWEI MateBook 13 also features the Fingerprint Power Button[8] that integrates power, fingerprint verification and system sign-in into one button while the HUAWEI MatePad Pro features the Multi-Window[9] function that enables multitasking with support for up to three apps at once.
