HUAWEI had recently officially launched the MateBook D 16 and MateBook 16s at its APAC Smart Office Launch 2022 event. Both laptops are powered by the latest 12th Gen Intel Core H-series processor.
MateBook D 16
The MateBook D 16 sports a 16-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,200) IPS display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen has a maximum brightness of 300 nits and supports a 100% sRGB color gamut. Powering the laptop is up to the 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor with up to 16GB LPDDR4x RAM and 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD.
HUAWEI mentioned that users don’t need to worry about overheating issues as the laptop comes with a HUAWEI Shark fin Fan cooling system. Weighing 1.7kg, the laptop has a 1.5mm key travel and a soft-landing design – inspired by space probes – to make all-day typing easy. The new individual numeric keypad enables users to work with charts, data, and documents more efficiently, while the physical shortcut keys allow direct access to frequently used functions for higher productivity.
The laptop packs a 60Wh battery and the only way to charge it is via the USB-C port. Priced from RM3,699, it is available for pre-order from today until 5 August 2022 with freebies worth up to RM1,028:
