Huawei MateBook

&NewLine;<p>Huawei has been a longstanding laptop supplier &lpar;outside the US at least&rpar; and impressed with both last year&&num;8217&semi;s MateBook X Pro &lpar;2020&rpar; and MateBook D 15 &lpar;2020&rpar; &&num;8211&semi; despite the few notes&period; The MateBook D 15&&num;8217&semi;s 2021 refresh doesn&&num;8217&semi;t make any fundamental changes &&num;8211&semi; it&&num;8217&semi;s an update rather than a remake&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Anyone looking for a laptop with specs they can configure at the time of purchase should look elsewhere&period; There&&num;8217&semi;s only one choice for UK buyers&comma; an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 and a 512GB SSD with 8GB RAM for £749 &lpar;including VAT&rpar;&period; In other regions&comma; you can get 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The dark gray chassis color&comma;

It weighs 1&period;56 kg &lpar;3g more than last year&rpar;&period; The aluminum-alloy chassis helps keep weight down&comma; and while the size and weight of a backpack will be noticeable&comma; that large screen can be a bit of an inconvenience for your time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Huawei reports that the MateBook D15 has undergone various tests&comma; including 40°C temperature and 90&percnt; relative humidity&comma; as well as USB-C port and fingerprint key durability tests&comma; as well as testing&period; Check the life of the keyboard&comma; display hinge&comma;

so the same convention found on last year&&num;8217&semi;s MateBook X Pro &lpar;2020&rpar; and MateBook D 15 &lpar;2020&rpar; with the pop-up camera on the keyboard is used here&comma; under Fn&period;
