Huawei Matebook X Pro

[tutonic]

Hello all I am thinking of getting a Matebook X Pro i5 thru a friend from Shanghai. Was wondering if I need the version with the discrete graphics card?

My primary concern is battery life, to do work on MS PPT and Word and net browsing in general. The integrated card would suffice right?

If you're only using it for those, then the integrated graphics card should be sufficient. I bought the i7 one, not because of the MX150, but rather for the 16GB ram and extra ssd storage (though you can just swap out a larger ssd on your own ah), since I need the extra ram, due to the kind of programming work I'm doing.

The battery life, for me personally, is quite great.

Will Huawei bring in the laptop to Singapore? They just announce to bring in matebook X pro and matebook d together with new phone mate 20 to Malaysia.

Don't think so. I've emailed them in the past about it, but they said they have no updates yet. Maybe you can email them now. They might have a different answer.

Thanks bro, for the reply.

Can I ask a further question - was your i7 model purchased from the US or China? I read online that some users had difficulties with the fingerprint sensor after they did a clean install of English Windows 10 home via the USB Media Tool.

It is not even 1.7k USD where did you get that figure from. With educational pricing about 1.349k
The seller doesn’t even provide any receipt if the buyer want to claim warranty on their own.
Please avoid.

I got a brand new sealed model from "chaplangkarangguni" seller on Caroselle for S$2450 which is reasonably good considering exchange rate for USD1700.

So far so good.....loving the small bezel large 13.9" screen.

Am a MacBook Pro user actually impressed with the build of this laptop. Will install MacOS as a VM on this laptop....

Mine is the US set. I didn't do clean install ah. Signature edition mah, no bloatware other than the Huawei pc control/settings app thingy.

I read from this reddit

But apparently there is a way (albeit troublesome) to resolve it. Just download drivers. From the US good la, no need change OS language.

Yes, but you get to pickup the set directly, since I am in KL next week, timing couldn't be better.

Finally setup the xpro
The x Pro is so sexy and cool
Anyway, what's the use of the fingerprint sensor?
Just to start up the notebook?
Cannot use to shut down?
