The MateBook 14 (2024) (MateBook 14 Series) 1TB / 16GB is Huawei Test's 2016 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 i5-1240P 12c/16t 12 x 1.2 - 4.4 GHz, 66 W PL2 / Short Burst, 35 W PL1 / Sustained, Alder Lake-P chipset. At AED 799 in the UAE and ₹19,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The MateBook 14 (2024) excels with its Intel Core i5-1240P’s 12 cores and 16 threads, delivering strong multi-threaded performance for multitasking, paired with 16GB DDR4-3733 RAM and a 56Wh battery delivering up to 10 hours of real-world use. Its Intel Iris Xe Graphics handles light creative work and casual gaming without issue. The 1TB SSD ensures ample storage, and the 1.433kg weight makes it highly portable. However, thermal throttling under sustained loads limits sustained CPU performance, and the lack of USB-C video output beyond one PD port restricts multi-monitor setups. In UAE at AED 799, it’s good value because it outperforms similarly priced AMD rivals in productivity tasks. In India at ₹19990, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 offer comparable specs with better cooling and more ports for under ₹18000.
