The MateBook D 15 Intel (2021) (Matebook D 15 Series) 256GB / 8GB is Huawei Test's 2021 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 16.9 x 357.8 x 229.9 ( = 0.67 x 14.09 x 9.05 in) display, the Intel Core i5-1135G7 4c/8t 4 x 2.4 - 4.2 GHz, 43 W PL2 / Short Burst, 31 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP3 chipset. At AED 1,299 in the UAE and ₹31,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The MateBook D 15 (2021) excels with its Intel Core i5-1135G7 and Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs, delivering smooth multitasking and capable 1080p light gaming without a dedicated GPU. The 8GB LPDDR4X-3733 quad-channel RAM boosts bandwidth, and the 42Wh battery lasts 7–8 hours under moderate use. It’s built for students and office workers needing reliable Windows 11 performance for web browsing, document editing, and Zoom calls. Its weakness is thermal throttling: sustained CPU loads above 31W PL1 cause noticeable slowdowns, and the single USB-C port limits connectivity. Storage is a slow SATA SSD, not NVMe, slowing file transfers. In UAE at AED 1299, it’s good value because it outperforms comparable Ryzen 3 laptops in graphics and RAM speed. In India at ₹31990, it’s overpriced—same specs are available on Ryzen 5 5500U models with NVMe storage and better cooling for under ₹29000.
