Performance and convenience at work are fundamental requirements for users when purchasing a business laptop. And the Chinese brand managed to attract attention to itself. The new HUAWEI MateBook 14s 2022 (HKF-X) is full of surprises for the buyer. It’s a pity that among the positive emotions, there are also off-putting moments.
HUAWEI MateBook 14s 2022 (HKF-X) – a Strange Laptop
A good business laptop with a 3:2 aspect ratio screen. The era of “square” displays has long ended. However, the demand for these screens remains. Because a display like this makes it easier to work with office documents, databases, videos, and graphic editors. Essentially, it offers a larger workspace in the application. This is very relevant for graphic editors that use vertical and horizontal tool panels.
Excellent performance selection. Rarely will you find a laptop with 16 GB of RAM running in a 4-channel mode. Plus, an Intel Core i7-12700H processor and a fast PCIe 3.0 x4 storage device. Not to mention all the current wired and wireless interfaces.
And among all these advantages, the keyboard format surprises. No numeric keypad. What kind of business laptop is this? Entering numbers is problematic. A very strange approach. After all, the size of the laptop allows for a full keyboard.
