The Huawei MateBook X Pro, i7 (MateBook X Series) 1TB / 32GB is Huawei Test's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 14.6 x 304 x 217 ( = 0.57 x 11.97 x 8.54 in) display, the Intel Core i7-8550U 4c/8t 4 x 1.8 - 4 GHz, Kaby Lake Refresh chipset. At AED 1,299 in the UAE and ₹31,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MateBook X Pro (2018) excels with its Intel Core i7-8550U’s sustained 4.0 GHz boost and NVIDIA GeForce MX150’s 2GB GDDR5, delivering smooth multitasking and light creative work. Its 57Wh battery lasts up to 10 hours under moderate use, and the 1.33kg magnesium-aluminum body is among the lightest in its class. The 304x217mm chassis fits easily in bags, while the 3:2 3000x2000 touchscreen aids productivity. But it’s crippled by only 8GB RAM—unupgradable—and no PCIe NVMe SSD, relying on slower SATA storage. The single Thunderbolt port is useful, but only two USB ports limit connectivity. In UAE at AED 1299, it’s good value because you pay less for premium build and screen than newer rivals. In India at ₹31990, it’s overpriced: newer Ryzen 5 laptops with 16GB RAM and SSDs offer better performance for similar cost. Buy only if you prioritize portability and screen over future-proofing.
