The Huawei MateBook E Core i5 (MateBook E Series) 512GB / 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 749 in the UAE and ₹18,990 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 despite the 10W sustained TDP. Its 42Wh battery supports 7–8 hours of mixed use, aided by efficient Tiger Lake-UP4 architecture. Weighing just 719g, it’s among the lightest 2-in-1s, perfect for students or professionals needing a portable tablet-laptop hybrid for note-taking, web browsing, and video calls. The single USB-C port supports Thunderbolt 4, DisplayPort, and PD, but limits peripheral expansion—no SD card reader, no USB-A, no second USB-C. Storage is PCIe NVMe but untested for sustained write speeds; real-world file transfers may stall under heavy load. In UAE at AED 749, it’s good value because it’s a rare, ultra-light Windows 11 2-in-1 under AED 800. In India at ₹18990, it’s overpriced—competitors like Lenovo Yoga 7i offer more ports and similar performance for less.
