Huawei MateBook 14s review - versatile package with a 3:2 touchscreen

I'm seeing more and more 14-inch laptops that strike a fine balance of portability, features, and performance these days, and having reviewed most of them

nice design and solid craftsmanship ; versatile productivity-focused 3:2 display, but only 100% sRGB ; snappy with everyday use and multitasking ; balanced hardware implementation, with fair performance, temperatures and noise levels ; 60 Wh battery...

larger and heavier than the standard 14-inch ultrabook ; only average inputs - dim keyboard and flimsy clickpad ; is the 4C/8T Tiger Lake platform enough for you? ; poor camera/mic setup

Huawei MateBook 14s review

It certainly has availability issues, but the Huawei MateBook 14s is a fantastic laptop for creatives and students if you can find it.

Great slim design ; 14.2-inch 3:2 display ; Powerful components

Availability issues ; No SD card reader

The Huawei MateBook 14s loses some of its ecosystem benefits in a western environment, but for anyone looking for a great MacBook Air alternative, this offers some compelling features that could persuade you to buy it over products from other...

Huawei MateBook 14s

Sometimes goes to sleep when unplugged ; Fan can get a little noisy ; No option for a discrete GPU

It's got fast charging, an ace new keyboard and no more nostril hair… but does Huawei's latest 14in laptop bring computing nirvana?

Huawei MateBook 14s review: Huawei's best compact laptop

With a lovely 90Hz display, great build and usability, the Huawei MateBook 14s is one of the best 14in laptops on the market

Excellent 90Hz display ; Great sound system ; Superb value

Soldered RAM ; Thunderbolt only on 1TB model ; No memory card reader

Even if Huawei was selling the MateBook 14s on its own for £1,200, I’d rate it as a great buy. But the fact that you’re getting it with a load of free gear, including a monitor and mouse, makes it even more tempting.

Huawei MateBook 14s (2021) review

Huawei's MateBook 14s is a powerful, compact Intel laptop that's packed with ports and a killer keyboard - but best of all, a webcam above the screen.

Plenty of power & ports ; Killer keyboard ; 2.5K, 90Hz, 3:2 display ; Webcam back above the display

Plain design ; Thunderbolt 4 limited to top SKU ; Webcam only 720p

With power, ports, and a killer keyboard this is a capable all-rounder best suited to anyone who prioritises performance but isn’t willing to give up on portability.
