Laptop · Huawei Test · 2021
The MateBook 14 2021 KLVD-WFE9B (MateBook 14 Series) 512GB / 16GB is Huawei Test's 2021 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 15.9 x 307.5 x 223.8 ( = 0.63 x 12.11 x 8.81 in) display, the Intel Core i7-1165G7 4c/8t 4 x 2.8 - 4.7 GHz, 64 W PL2 / Short Burst, 30 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP3 chipset. At AED 1,999 in the UAE and ₹49,990 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The MateBook 14 2021 excels with its Intel Core i7-1165G7 and 16GB DDR4-3200 dual-channel RAM, delivering smooth multitasking and responsive app performance, while the Iris Xe G7 with 1024MB VRAM handles light creative work and 1080p streaming without strain. Its 56Wh battery delivers up to 11 hours of real-world use, rare in this class. At 1.49kg, it’s portable enough for daily commutes in Dubai or Delhi. Weakness? Thermals throttle the CPU under sustained load—PL1 sustained 30W limits prolonged CPU-heavy tasks. Ports are adequate but lack USB4 or Thunderbolt. In UAE at AED 1999, it’s good value because the combo of i7, 16GB RAM, and 11-hour battery outperforms rivals at this price. In India at ₹49990, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 3 offer similar specs with better cooling and more ports for ₹45000.
