After announcing it almost two
months back, the Huawei MateBook D15 Ryzen Edition goes finally on sale today
in China at the price of 3,999 yuan; around $570 at the current exchange rates.
The MateBook D15 Ryzen Edition packs a large 15.6-inch FHD display with a
screen ratio of 87%, an screen aspect ratio of 16: 9 and ultra-thin 5.3mm
bezels around the display. Meanwhile its entire body has a thickness of 16.9mm
and a weight of about 1.62kg.
Inside the larger screen
variant – there’s also a 14-inch model – we find an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
processor. The chipset is then paired with 8GB of RAM, an ultra-fast 256GB PCIe
SSD, a 1TB HDD and a Radeon Vega 8 Graphics graphics card.
Additionally, MateBook D15
Ryzen Edition supports a multi-screen collaboration feature that allows it to
interact with mobile phones in real time across platforms. The mobile phone
interface can indeed be operated on the computer screen to enjoy the rich
application ecosystem of Android. Plus there’s also drag and drop system to
transfer files, pictures and whatnot.
It is also worth noting that
the MateBook D15 series utilizes a dual hard disk design. There’s a solid-state
drive that can be used to install the operating system and daily software;
meanwhile the mechanical hard disk should be used to store large files such as
pictures and videos. Basically anywhere you do not need ultra-quick loading
times.
Finally, the MateBook D15
Ryzen Edition comes pre-installed with genuine a Windows copy and genuine
Office Home and Student Edition; at least in China. This bundle is itself worth
about 748 yuan, around US$ 107.
