Huawei MateBook 14s Review

Today our guest comes from Huawei. . . His new laptop MateBook 14s will be with us today; We’ll take a closer look at what innovations it brings to the MateBook 14 series. But before we move on, let’s briefly touch on the future star of Huawei, Nova 9. If you remember, Huawei introduced its new Nova 9 smartphone in Vienna last week, and we shared information about Nova 9 with you with a video right after this presentation. You will find a detailed review of Nova 9 here shortly after. While Huawei made important innovations in that model, our topic today did not skip the MateBook 14s, and there are important differences and updates here too. So let’s get started.

MateBook 14s Display Capabilities

MateBook 14s comes with a 14.2-inch display with full 2.5K resolution. The laptop, which uses Intel’s new generation processor and includes high-end hardware profiles, also has a nice sound system, which we will talk about. Again, it should be noted that the Huawei Share feature is also introduced in this model with a new update. Other innovations have also been made.

Lastly, we reviewed the MateBook 14 (2021) from the MateBook 14 family. That model also had strong features, but there are some differences in the 14s. Although they are largely similar in design, one of the biggest differences in the MateBook 14s is the screen. The screen is slightly larger and produces higher resolution. As we said, the resolution of the 14.2-inch screen is 2520×1680 pixels, which is categorized as 2.5K. Thus, more visual clarity can be achieved with more frequent pixel processing. On the other hand, this screen is touch-sensitive. The touch screen makes it very convenient to use. Those who have used this type of laptop before will know how it makes a difference in everyday use. In terms of experience, it is difficult to return to a normal screen laptop after using this type of touch screen, we can say that.

Another difference on the screen is the refresh rate. Recently, we have become accustomed to seeing 90Hz and 120Hz screens on smartphones; While these speeds have been used in gaming monitors for a long time, the screen of the MateBook 14s accompanies them and operates at a refresh rate of 90Hz. Thus, compared to standard notebook screens, 50% higher speed and a more aesthetic experience are achieved on the screen. The laptop’s screen more effectively presents the good visuals it provides with this added value. Of course, you can switch back to 60Hz if you wish. To do this, press the Fn and R keys together on the keyboard. So you can switch between screen speeds.

Huawei continues the 3:2 screen aspect ratio it offers in its MateBook series with 14s. This size structure allows more content to fit on the screen, especially in the vertical plane, which is especially beneficial for work environments. This usage allows 8 percent more content to fit on the screen compared to 16:9 aspect ratio screens. In the meantime, let’s also say that TÜV Rheinland certificates, which are found important by those who spend long hours in front of the screen, are found on this device. The screen not only has Low Blue Light certification, but also has the TÜV Rheinland Flicker-Free Display Certification. There may be some among you who think that it doesn’t matter, but prolonged exposure to harmful blue light causes the cells in the center of the retina to be destroyed, which leads to visual impairment; Let’s also underline that screen flickers cause headaches and eyestrain after a while.

If we need to talk about the last few things about the screen, as important notes, we can say that the screen has a brightness level of 400 nits and a contrast ratio of 1500:1. The MateBook 14s’ screen thus looks both bright and vibrant. Let us also give you the information that the screen, which can produce 07 billion colors, covers the sRGB color gamut by 100 percent, and now let’s move on to the other features of the MateBook 14s.

What are the MateBook 14s Features?

MateBook 14s uses Intel’s 11th generation Core i7-11370H processor. Core i7-11370H, one of the fresh processors of this year, is a 4-core processor and also consists of 8 threads. This processor, which can reach 4. 4 GHz peak frequency, lays the foundation for the laptop to provide long battery life with its low power consumption, and also meets the expectations of those who need high performance. On the other hand, this model also has a version with Core i5-11300H processor, while there is a difference in SSD capacity between the 2 models. The Core i7 processor model we have has a 1TB capacity NVMe SSD, while the other model has a 512GB capacity. The RAM capacity of the laptop is 16 GB and the important thing is that these memories are used with dual channels. This also contributes to efficiency.

By the way, MateBook 14s is not a gaming computer, but you can play new era Valorant, Overwatch derivative games in competitive games. Likewise, you can use the laptop with high performance in video graphic editing works. The power behind this, of course, is again based on the processor. While the Core i7-11370H processor is one of the best options on the mobile side with its processing capacity, it has Irix Xe graphics support for the graphics side of the business. Thus, a nice balance has been achieved for both the processor and the graphics side.

Another unit that contributes to performance is of course the laptop’s cooling system. This laptop uses dual fans and dual heat pipes. We’ve seen Huawei’s Shark Fin Fan technology in other MateBooks, but improvements have been made here too. The blade heights of the fans have been increased by 16 percent compared to the predecessor model, resulting in a 25 percent difference in system airflow. Thus, while working at high performance with this laptop, air distribution is made faster and the system cools faster.

Meanwhile, MateBook 14s has been a model that does not need charging for a long time. When you charge the laptop to full capacity and take it with you, you can work up to 11 hours. When you watch Full HD video, the battery time it offers is up to 13 hours. Of course, these times will vary depending on usage. However, we can say that it is a model that makes a working day comfortable as long as you are not overloaded. On the other hand, it charges very fast. With a 15-minute charge, it can provide a 3-hour usage life; It takes a maximum of 90 minutes to fully charge the battery.

Amazing Sound Experience

One of the most striking aspects of the MateBook 14s is its speakers. Huawei Sound technology has also been used in this laptop, and dual woofers that provide 4-direction sound and surround speakers in a double twitter array are placed in the laptop. Thus, the laptop can provide a truly amazing sound experience. We can say that you will enjoy watching movies or listening to music during your leisure time outside of work. Also, speaking of work, let’s also say that there are 4 microphones on the device that will make your job much easier in video calls. These 4 microphones can receive 360-degree sound at a distance of up to 5 meters. This is another feature that writes the plus of the new MateBook.

By the way, we never talked about the environment of the laptop. On MateBook 14s, the power button also has the fingerprint sensor feature and is in touch structure; that is, you do not need to enter a password or pin to log in, you can log in to the computer by swiping your finger directly. Another method is face recognition via the infrared camera on the screen. With Windows Hello, you can perform facial recognition through this camera.

Connect and Work Wirelessly

We tell you about a very important feature at one point in almost every Huawei laptop review: Huawei Multi-Display Collaboration. Especially with the expansion of the Huawei ecosystem, this feature increases its usage area day by day and becomes more functional with the features added with the incoming updates.

The MateBook 14s also benefits from the technology that we know as Huawei Multi-Screen Collaboration, which easily connects devices with the Huawei Share infrastructure. In fact, with the new update, this feature has now become more functional. Multi-Screen Collaboration; While it allows you to send and receive files wirelessly between laptop, tablet and smartphone, it also paves the way for you to share images wirelessly with your monitor or connect to a wireless headset, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard more easily. Of course, for this, all these devices must be Huawei and support this feature -which is now available on almost every newly released Huawei device.

For example, you do not need to control your Huawei smartphone while on the laptop, because you can connect the phone to the MateBook 14s via Huawei Share and manage it directly from there. You can even open more than one work screen, and with the new update, you can now use your phone as a storage tool for MateBook 14s if you want. It’s entirely up to you. Also, if you remember, we recently reviewed Huawei’s monitor MateView. As we mentioned there, it is now very easy to get a wireless projection.
