The Huawei MateBook E Core i5 (MateBook E Series) 1TB / 16GB is Huawei Test's 2017 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 7.99 x 286.5 x 184.7 ( = 0.31 x 11.28 x 7.27 in) display, the Intel Core i5-1130G7 4c/8t 4 x 1.8 - 4 GHz, 30 W PL2 / Short Burst, 10 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP4 chipset. At AED 999 in the UAE and ₹24,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MateBook E Core i5-1130G7 excels with its 16GB LPDDR4x-3733 dual-channel RAM and Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs GPU, delivering smooth multitasking and light creative workloads. Its 42Wh battery sustains 8–9 hours of mixed use, aided by the low-power Tiger Lake-UP4 chip. Weighing just 719g, it’s among the lightest 2-in-1s available. Ideal for students and field workers needing a tablet-laptop hybrid for note-taking, PDF annotation, and web-based coding. The Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C PD ports enable fast charging and external display output. Its weakness is thermal throttling: sustained CPU loads above 10W cause performance drops due to passive cooling. Storage is PCIe NVMe but untested for speed. In UAE at AED 999, it’s good value because it’s the only 2-in-1 with this spec mix under AED 1,200. In India at ₹24,990, it’s overpriced—competing 2-in-1s offer better cooling and storage at similar cost.
