MateBook X Pro 2020 in Emerald GreenĪnyway, our review unit is Space Gray, and it looks exactly like its predecessor. Sure, black, gray, silver are all fine and ‘professional-looking’ but stale too, unfortunately. That said, we’re happy to see flashier hues for laptops, something that’s been a staple of the smartphone world for many years now. Though with working from home becoming a big thing nowadays because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the show-off factor may be minimized somewhat. You can of course opt for the Emerald Green variation, in which case you’re sure to stand out from your fellow office workers. If you buy the Space Gray model, you’ll be hard pressed to tell just by looking at it that this is the 2020 incarnation. The rest of the specs are identical between them, and our review unit is the latter. The Core i5 model, with 512GB of storage, is priced at €1,599, while the Core i7 version with 1TB of storage goes for €1,899. The battery is still 56Wh, and the screen is the same excellent 3000x2000 3:2 IPS panel from before, with 100% sRGB coverage and 450 nits of brightness. These are paired with 16GB of RAM, 512GB or 1TB of PCIe NVMe storage, and an Nvidia GeForce MX250 dedicated GPU.

The MateBook X Pro introduces a new colorway, and switches up the internals with two processor options, both of the Intel 10th generation Core variety.

Is it worth the substantial asking price? Let’s find out. Everything else has basically stayed the same, so let’s take a deep dive and see what makes the new MateBook X Pro actually new, and what doesn’t. The Chinese company has fitted its champ with the latest low-voltage Core processors from Intel, and upgraded the Nvidia graphics, and… that’s it. That said, its newness is all on the inside. Huawei has a new high-end laptop out, the MateBook X Pro 2020.
