Huawei has been a longstanding laptop supplier (outside the US at least) and impressed with both last year’s MateBook X Pro (2020) and MateBook D 15 (2020) – despite the few notes. The MateBook D 15’s 2021 refresh doesn’t make any fundamental changes – it’s an update rather than a remake.
Anyone looking for a laptop with specs they can configure at the time of purchase should look elsewhere. There’s only one choice for UK buyers, an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 and a 512GB SSD with 8GB RAM for £749 (including VAT). In other regions, you can get 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage.
The dark gray chassis color, which Huawei calls space gray (I’ll call it slate), is quite interesting.
A key feature of the Huawei matebook d15 2021 is the combination of a large screen with lightweight. The 15.6-inch display sits on a chassis measuring 357.8 mm wide, 229.9 mm is deep, and 16.9 mm thick. These dimensions are the same as last year’s models. It weighs 1.56 kg (3g more than last year). The aluminum-alloy chassis helps keep weight down, and while the size and weight of a backpack will be noticeable, that large screen can be a bit of an inconvenience for your time.
Huawei reports that the MateBook D15 has undergone various tests, including 40°C temperature and 90% relative humidity, as well as USB-C port and fingerprint key durability tests, as well as testing. Check the life of the keyboard, display hinge, and trackpad. However, there is no official MIL-STD certification.
The 15.6-inch screen rests on a small bezel above and to the side measuring 5.3mm, although the bottom edge is quite deep. This results in a screen-to-body ratio of 87% (we calculate 81.5%). The top bezel isn’t deep enough to hold the camera, so the same convention found on last year’s MateBook X Pro (2020) and MateBook D 15 (2020) with the pop-up camera on the keyboard is used here, under Fn. row key.
