For light or multimedia usage, I think it should be fine. But if you are playing games like Overwatch, the RAM may be insufficient since its being shared between the CPU and GPU. The CPU and GPU are certainly up to the task for gaming and heavier usage, but crippled by insufficient ram. Having said that, 698 is a very good price, considering you are likely end up with Pentium Silver processor at this price range if you go to the likes of Challenger or the big electronic stores.

It is really not a bad deal. Light and slim, also smaller than most 15" laptop. If you need to add a SSD disk, need to buy the sata cable as there is an additional space for 2.5" ssd. Review are quite good. Downside is the display is 250nits, battery life is around 3-4hrs, odd placement of webcam as it seem to be focusing to your chin instead of your face. Since it is huawei matebook, it have its own eco-system of using huawei share for huawei phone. Benefit for those user using huawei phone.

Good for light gaming, surfing web, netflix and media consumption and office computing and come with
usb-c pd charging
1 usb-3
2 usb 2
2 yrs warranty
audio and mic jack

Any alternatives at this price point?

No gaming. Just media consumption and usual light stuff.

Hi, anyone has issue with the mate book while charging? I can feel the static n vibration. Not sure whether to return to seller or go to service centre as advised by Huawei.
