Display

It can be said that the most impressive point when holding Huawei MateBook D 15 is the beautiful display. This can be said to be a big breakthrough for Huawei when entering the laptop market when bringing a device with a brilliant and large screen. Reaching a screen size of 15.6 inches, we thought the device had a 16-inch screen. Because the surrounding edges are thin and bring a large frame.

The surrounding bezels are very thin, only the lower edge of the screen is a bit longer because it contains the “Huawei” logo. Huawei MateBook D15 has Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) resolution but we find the color is still fresh and the details are clear and fully displayed.

Another thing is that Huawei MateBook is also equipped with an IPS LCD panel for bright colors. The brightness of the screen is also relatively high, specifically 256 nits allowing you to use the device in many different environmental conditions, especially the situation with direct sunlight.

Design

Immediately after the beautiful screen of the Huawei MateBook D15, we move to its stunning design. We personally like the design of this device and this is also the first time we use Huawei laptops. First of all, we love the Gray color that exudes the elegance of the MateBook D15. It does not need to be over-colored, nor does it need a gradation effect, it is simply a light gray, elegance, and noble color.

The back of the MateBook D15 carries the Shiny Huawei logo in the center. The surface has been very carefully machined, giving a pleasant grip and fewer fingerprints when held. We do not have much time to experience the laptop. Perhaps in the future, we will have more time for experience and deploy a detailed review of the Huawei MateBook D15 for our readers.

The curved corners of the device are soft, making the laptop suitable for many different users and look more harmonious. Do you know that this laptop has a case made of luxurious metal material, which makes the device more beautiful and attractive? The overall size of the machine is large, its one plus point is that it helps you manipulate and can be used more easily. But because the laptop is quite large, and has metal machining, you will feel a little tired if you use it in your hand for a long time.

Heatsink

The heatsink of the Huawei MateBook D15 is located behind the keyboard and is shielded by an external metal shell. We don’t know whether the heat spread on this MateBook D15 is good, but we hope the temperature will be comfortable and provide the best experience for the users.

Keyboard and trackpad

Talking about the keyboard, the Huawei MateBook D15 has a built-in keyboard that felt very good to us and we felt very comfortable. The keyboard is quite spacious, so we think you’ll feel satisfied when using this laptop. The trackpad has a large area, we also tried dragging a few times and found it smoother.

Connectivity

Regarding connectivity, Huawei MateBook D15 has various ports for charging, connect, and transfer data between devices. Specifically, the MateBook D15 has a power port (USB Type-C), an HDMI port, and a USB port on the left side. Meanwhile, on the right side, it has two more USB ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Performance

In addition to the stunning design and beautiful screen, the Huawei MateBook D15 impresses us with the integrated fingerprint sensor mechanism on the power button. It can be said that this mechanism is not new anymore in the phone world, but for the laptop market is a different story. We think this design is quite convenient for users and that is why Huawei brings that fingerprint sensor mechanism to the laptop.

We also tried out the fingerprint unlocking feature of the MateBook D15. It can be said that this sensor is quite sensitive, but due to the lack of time we did not use it much, so we do not know if it is real stability in the sensor. But we hope that this sensor will work smoothly.

When it comes to hardware configuration, you’ll be surprised to know that the Huawei MateBook D15 uses AMD CPU with a powerful AMD Ryzen5 3500U and 8GB of RAM. It is a new processor that was launched in the first months of 2020 and according to AMD, it will bring outstanding performance in the affordable price range. We speculate that this CPU will allow you to run a lot of heavy software very easily and we will have a detailed post soon to say more about this factor.

Just CPU power is not enough, the laptop also owns integrated graphics card AMD Radon Vega 8 graphics. This graphics card focuses on the budget segment laptop market, officially introduced by AMD in early 2018. And finally, the laptop also has a 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD and a 1TB SATA3 HDD which allows you to store more data.

But do you know, a good feature of the PC Manager application is the connection feature with Huawei smartphone, also known as Huawei Share. How does this feature work? By the time you open PC Manager, select My Phone, and click Connect, the application will automatically detect nearby Huawei devices to connect.
