Huawei also unveiled the MateBook E 2023 tablet in China in addition to the MateBook Air. The Huawei MateBook E 2023 is being projected as a strong competitor of the Microsoft Surface Pro, given its features. It comes with a 120Hz OLED panel and a 2-in-1 design. The MateBook E has a built-in kickstand and a detachable keyboard.
The Huawei Matebook E 2023 is equipped
with a 12.6-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the
Intel Ader Lake-U processors which are upgraded versions of its previous
iteration. However, the new MateBook E does not feature the Raptor Lake-U
successor CPUs such as the Intel Core i5-1335U and Core i7-1355U options.
Instead, it uses the 12th -gen Core i5-1230U and Core i7-1260U 10-core
processors.
The MateBook E 2023 is being offered with
up to 1TB of storage which doubles that of its predecessor. It has the Iris Xe
Graphics iGPU series and up to 16GB of RAM. The Huawei MateBook E 2023 has a
resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels and a 16:10 aspect ratio. This shows no
difference with the 2022 MateBook E model. The refresh rate has however been
doubled to 120Hz. The 2023 MateBook E retains a 42Wh battery which is coupled
with a 10.8Wh battery on the keyboard accessory. The keyboard supports
Bluetooth connectivity which is an improvement over the Microsoft Surface Pro
9.
The MateBook E 2023 is priced at 7,499
yuan (US$ 1,068) in China for the 16GB+512GB configuration. The variant with
16GB+1TB is sold at 7,999 yuan (US$ 1,137). It is expected that more details
about the global availability of the MateBook E 2023 will be provided
subsequently.
