Huawei MateBook 14 (2021) Review in Nepal 2K IPS Display

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Huawei MateBook 14 (2021) in Nepal has finally been launched. The Huawei MateBook 14 is a remarkable piece of kit, it brings a 2K “FullView” display and an active cooling system. The Huawei MateBook 14 is the mid-range model which eschews some of the more cutting-edge elements of its big brother (Huawei Matebook x Pro 2021) for some sensible budget-friendly alternatives. Could it be the ultraportable model to buy? Here, we will be discussing the key specifications, pros and cons, and finally official price and availability of the Huawei MateBook 14(2021) in Nepal.

 

Key Specs of the Huawei MateBook 14 (2021)

14-inch, glossy, 60Hz, 2160 x 1440, non-touchscreen, IPS display; 2.4-4.2GHz Intel Core i5-1135G7 CPU; 8GB RAM; 512GB HDD; Intel Iris Xe GPU; 56Wh battery; 1.5G. SKU: KLVD-WDH9, Full specs here.

 

Huawei MateBook 14 (2021) review: Display and Handling

The screen resolution on offer is actually higher than Full HD at 2,160 x 1,440, with a good-quality IPS screen that peaked at 417cd/m² brightness in our tests. Its color performance is highly respectable considering the price of this laptop, covering 89% of the sRGB gamut and 64% of DCI-P3 with an average Delta E of 1.66 – that’s color accuracy enough to fool all but professional eyes. Combine it with a 1,586:1 contrast ratio and there’s little to complain about whether you’re watching films or fiddling in Excel.

The Huawei MateBook 14’s white, back-lit, touch-type keyboard is very comfortable and accurate for extended typing while the large trackpad is smooth and accurate. The relatively thin bezel extends around the sides and top but this means the HD webcam has been relocated. It is recessed in the keyboard which is great for security but gives an unflattering, jowly image.

 

 

Huawei MateBook 14 (2021) review: Performance

The Huawei MateBook 14’s quad-core, Hyper-Threaded 2.4-4.2GHz Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor is flanked by just 8GB of RAM and a 512GB hard drive. These combined to score a modest 4608 in PCMark 10 which demonstrates it’s fine for office work but will struggle with power-hungry workloads.

The GPU is Intel’s integrated Iris Xe chip. While it has some potency, scores of 1148 (6.4fps average) in 3DMark’s Time Spy and 1367 (6.3fps) in Fire Strike Extreme underline that it can’t play current, A-list games. It couldn’t run the Port Royal ray-tracing test. It scored 2142 in the weaker Wild Life Extreme test (an average of 7.5fps) but it did manage 12,007 in Night Raid (64fps) showing that it is capable of playing some casual and competitive games.

We were also pleased to note that the IPS screen was a bit more responsive that the low-powered, LTPS model on the MateBook X Pro which was prone to smearing when displaying fast-moving content. So this is slightly better for fast-moving casual games. It’s still only a 60Hz panel though.
