Performance and ease of use are the basic requirements of users when buying a laptop for business. And the Chinese brand was able to draw attention to itself. The new HUAWEI MateBook 14s 2022 (HKF-X) is full of surprises for the buyer. The only pity is that among the positive emotions there are also repulsive moments.
HUAWEI MateBook 14s 2022 (HKF-X) is a strange laptop
Good laptop for business screen with an aspect ratio of 3:2. The era of "square" displays is long over. That's just the demand for these screens remained. Indeed, behind such a display it is more convenient to work with office documents, databases, video and graphic editors. In fact, more workspace in the application. This is very true for graphic editors that use vertical and horizontal toolbars.
Perfectly matched performance. You rarely see a laptop with 16 GB of RAM that runs in 4-channel mode. Plus, an Intel Core i7-12700H processor and fast PCIe 3.0 x4 storage. Not to mention all the current wired and wireless interfaces.
And now, among all these advantages, the format of the keyboard surprises. There is no digital block. What is a business laptop? Numbers are difficult to enter. A very strange approach. After all, the size of the laptop allows you to put a full keyboard.
