HUAWEI MateBook D 15 - 15.6 Inch Laptop with FullView 1080P FHD Ultrabook PC (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, Multi-screen Collaboration, Fingerprint Reader), Space Grey

Works like a charm, been using it to work at home during lockdown for Coronavirus and it's handled nine hours of constant use with HDMI upscaling to two screens without a problem. It's quick opening and navigating Windows, conference calling on Microsoft Teams is no problem and it handles Citrix remote connectivity comfortably. Not found any issues multi tasking and the fan is very quiet when it kicks in, the keyboard and track pad are reassuringly responsive and screen colouration is fine with different filters and resolutions available in settings. Only minor point of criticism is no backlight to the keyboard but easily remedied with a usb light as there's three usb ports. I've seen mention in other reviews that the screen is washed out but I really can't say I'm finding that, perhaps if you're into gaming or streaming movies it might be but for day to day use this is a fine piece of kit at a mid range price. If you want loads of on board storage you're only getting 256GB (35GB used by system) here unless you add an external HDD and maybe DVDR. I've got a 1TB HDD connected and it reads and saves to this very quickly, I haven't tried running anything from the external HDD but with 8GB of RAM it really should cope with anything. I get about five hours out of the battery on a full charge and that's in constant use in double screen with WiFi, it charges to full from 20% in just under an hour but the trickle charge at the end at around 98% can a bit annoying if like me you like to see 100% on the battery meter before you unplug it. Finger print sensor is accurate and being an SSD the boot and shutdown times are seconds not minutes. All in all a great piece of kit for both working and day to day stuff, bags of internal power to cope with most things although I can't really comment on gaming or streaming, I use an Nvidia Shield for that kind of malarkey.

I've bought this laptop in April 2020, and after all this time, the battery life is still great! What impressed me from the start is that comes with preinstalled Windows 10, and the setup is made through voice commands, with the help of the Cortana Assistant. It can run most of the popular games with the hardware it has. I used to play League of Legends. The camera has a good quality and the fact that it is hidden in the keyboard is an ingenious way of keeping your privacy. It definitely does not have a good angle for meetings/streaming if it stands flat on the desk/table, but this can be solved easily with an adjustable laptop stand. The fingerprint scanner incorporated in the power button makes it very easy to log on to the system and authorize different things that require verification. The sound quality (when listening to music or watching movies) is great! The microphone quality is not great. I use an external studio-type microphone. It doesn't have Ethernet cable input, but I use an external USB to Ethernet adapter and it works great! It also doesn't have CD/DVD ROM, but if you really need one, you can use an external one. Huawei Share is also a great feature, as you can connect your Huawei phone to this powerful machine, and you can also use the laptop to make phone calls. All in all, it is an amazing piece of technology!

I like everything about this laptop apart from the touchpad. Laptop is very responsive, loads quickly, lovely clear screen and looks bigger than it is due to edge screen. I am so disappointed with the touchpad, it sometimes just sticks when moving mouse or mouse pointer disappears. If working on a doc or spreadsheet , internet page and you touch slightly to hard or long when also scrolling the zoom or minimise viewing size happens. This is really irritating if you don't have external mouse with you. I have looked for updated drivers as I work in IT and know what I'm doing. I bought this as I also use Huawei p30 pro phone and the link setup between them is very useful and works really well. This would have been a 5 but for the touchpad. Update January 2021 Laptop is everything I hoped it would be. Using on a desk is fine as I can use my wireless mouse via dongle. Whe using travelling, the TOUCHPAD is everything I hate, it is clunky, sticks, sometimes unresponsive. The touchpad lets down what is a really good laptop in this price range. would I buy another, yes, but only if the touchpad was upgraded to work properly or fully removed and replaced with a nipple or small trackball mouse.

Lovely working laptop, incredibly fast, doesnt come preloaded with bloatware, easy to set up though the plug caused a few moment until realising the "earth" plasting pin actually pops up so it will fit standard plug sockets, that would be the only niggle, everything else goes nicely and its been on now for over 5 hours and its still cool, very light too and the screen is impressive enough, even better when its turned on the graphics for what I do is absolutely splendid, touch pad responding well, no issues so far which previous laptops I had to configure the touchpad to stop unwanted zooming etc, I think whoever gets this laptop and gets passed the innitial WTF moment with the plug (have never encountered one before) is going to be delighted, I know I am. There is or was £100 off it too, if still the case don't hesitate, it feels and acts like a very high end laptop. Really can't fault it.

In other parts of the world the 15D comes with. 1TB HDD as well as the 250gb ssd. It's not that hard to add one but does need a specific cable. This is a well specced machine, nice metal chassis, the screen for me is fine ( I'm not a fan of shiny screens on laptops) The start up is very fast and the finger print scanner excellent. If you want a laptop for a combination of work and play this is good bang for buck. Edit. Just fitted a second hard drive with a sata flex lead and sata to flex hard drive adapter. Search your favourite auction site. So now have a 1tb data ssd as well as the 250gb one for the os. It took me 10 mins with a torx T5 screw driver and the kit
