@@jattsahi2761 It's actually just that i was really stupid when i places the mic on my scarf, and it was flying back and forth and hitting things. It's such a noob mistake but great when you realize after shooting 45+ min content...
Your attention to detail and thorough testing has made you my go to laptop reviewer. Not being sponsored by laptop makers makes you really credible and I appreciate this. All other reviewers pretty much copy one another. Once you see one you have seen them all. Really, 10K subs doesn't do you justice. Thanks for your effort. Keep it up.
Thank you so much! It's steadily moving up both in views and subscribers. I wish I would have a bit more ad revenue to cover laptop purchases but that should also come as time goes by :)
In Austria I can now get the Matebook 14 for 670 € and the Matebook 14s for 870(!) That's a very good price but I'm still not sure because of the fan of the 14s. Some users report disturbing fan noise. The design, display and keyboard are absolutely stunning. Thank you for your very good reviews!
Thanks to your review, I bought this machine 7 months ago (right by the time the review was released) and since then, I am absolutely in love with it. As an architect, this has been the best laptop I've invested in so far. Thank you!
A tip for the fingerprint sensor when turning it on is to hold your finger there for like 1 to 2 secs then it will load you in. If you tap it quickly it doesn't work you need to hold it for atleast a second.
Legend!! I just tried that and it worked perfectly! Just holding the power button one second at startup logged me right in. I really didn't think about that. I'm so used to the fingerprint reader of my phone being incredibly fast and enough to just touch it briefly.
Thanks for the review, i would like to explain the difference between performance and balanced modes, the CPU draw 40-42 Watts of power in both modes, however it drops to 35 watts after 10 minutes in balance mode while in performance mode it can be sustained at 42 watts. Try to run the R23 benchmark for 30 minutes and you will see the difference in results. When it comes to CPU temperature it's obvious that 108 is not ideal temperature for the laptop to work at, it's short spikes i believe and average temperature will be in the range of 90 ?!
Thanks for the input! I will def. do this in a more full on benchmark and CPU test video. I wanted to not include as much benchmark stuff here as the video would have been 45 mins then :P Very greatful for the input!
This is by far the very best and detailed review I’ve ever watched in my lifetime! Your keen to details and with a clear english makes more interesting to watch your reviews. And because of this review, I’m gonna buy this laptop today. Thank you so much and got subbed👍
i bought this matebook 14 amd 2020 4600H , it's a better value than the lenovo ideapad 14 amd or intel. the build quality is amazing, it looks like a macbook all metal and the keyboard and trackpad are better than the latest released AIR and pro. it's better than lenvo because its all metal , no plastic and it cost less in France around 800 and even 750 euro when there is a discount. i tried GTA 5 , it works great witth 30 fps. the screen is 2K and has good brightness 300+ nits. i am well satisfied. the fingerprint can sometimes not work properly but nothing to worry about.
thank you so much. I love Huawei but laptop temperature is a downer. Hope they make it to ARM CPU/GPU to be a powerful & power efficient a laptops like the Apple M1 CPUs
Hey man, your reviews are great! Keep up the good work! This Matebook 14 is currently on a sale for 800 euros in my country. Could please share how it stacks up versus the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7? Do you think this laptop is a very good offer for 800 euro? Thanks :)
I think that's insane value. If you don't need thunderbolt or two usb c ports it's the best. I'm working on my comparison video right now. Yoga slim 7 vs matebook 14, but i have a lot of daytime work that takes priority right now. I hope to have it up soon though.
Hej! Thanks for the review. I liked the video as I saw it! Should a person who isn't in a hurry about buying a new laptop wait for Ryzen 5000 CPUs? I ain't need a PC right now but definitely considering to replace my current one. What do you suggest about new generation CPUs, for both Intel and AMD and even M1?
I think if you're not in a hurry you should def. wait for the next gen. Maybe the performance upgrade isn't huge, but it's just nice to future proof. M1 is amazing value but can't run 2 external screens which for me is a deal breaker. Intel 11th gen is great too. I need to test an i7 to see how it compares to i5 but the performance to price to heating ratio on my 1135g7 has been great. So it's a hard choice to make at this point!
I think this will be the laptop for me. I would prefer to get the touchscreen version, but it is not available where I am, and the X Pro version is simply too expensive. However, the beautiful screen and form factor for this are still amazing, and I guess I can live without touch. Great review!
Great review, but mate, you´ve been doing something wrong if your laptop reaches 104 degrees celsius in cinebench R23. I have ran it for a solid 3 times in a row with my matebook 14 and i get 72°C max. !!! maybe something with your cooler!?
@@w2best yes the 4600H, but i was watching CPU temp. in task manager. Might be the difference!? But anyhow, even after 3x cinebench R23, my laptop didnt felt really ,,hot,, underneath. Just warm to the touch. That doesen´t really ,,feel,, like 100°C+ in the CPU. Tell me the application you are using to messure the temps and ill update you what i get :)
huawei matebook -14 -intel i5 -(2021) vs asus -zenbook- 13,3 inch - intel i5 which one you recommend for me ? my casual use is office and alo of productivity and reading
I purchased this laptop 6 months ago based on your review. Indeed it is a brilliant machine and I have enjoyed it so far. Especially the keyboard. There is something special about it that makes typing much faster that my Macbook Air. I am now looking for a 27'' monitor to use with this laptop. Because I was not sure if the usbc port supports display towards the monitor and power from the monitor at the same time I decided to contact Huawei support. They informed me that I can't make use of the usb port for both power and display. The even told me to buy a Matedock (😂). Then I watched again your review and found out that they probably dont know what they are talking about. I can see from your review that it works just fine. Thanks for that. I woud have used the hdmi instead. I really enjoy your reviews. Keep it going!!!
@@ICTechProductionsI think it is a brilliant laptop for home use. The aspect ratio and the qhd resolution provides enough space to work on. Battery is ok. About 6-7 hours but charges fast with the 60w brick included which also is very light and minimal. I would go with the matebook 2 now that it is out that offers 90 hz refresh rate and quad speakers. Overall excellent guy for 750 euros
again and again, very good review. but little advise, you probably need to review about huawei share which is a part of huawei ecosystem. that its, thanks very much w2
Thanks for the feedback! I think I should pick up a Huawei flagship phone at some point to be able to make videos about huawei share! Thanks for the input! I will save it for a future video! :)
well Sir, I just bought this and you are partly to blame :) let's see when it arrives... Tbh I don't think windows world can compete with apple's quality. Even the new a1s can be bought for around 1000 Euros now.. but I needed a Windows computer and this looks great for the price!!! Thank you for the review
@@w2best sorry i was so excited and i wrote in my language "turkish". Translation is : Bro, you are the best reviewer in the world. I learned very useful details from your videos. Thanks and keep doing this reviews."
I've used premier Pro for editing and it's so good. Like scrubbing through 4k timeline is okay at full playblack but I put it on half to best. And no crashes. It gets better with every update on premier Pro.
That's great! I honestly feel like I should be changing because of the issues with Resolve! I will for sure make an updated video on video editing on this guy! Thanks for the input!
@@simonepalmieri5600 I use adobe photoshop, lightroom and illustrator with absolutely zero issues. Same thing with Davinci resolve 17. I'm a professional filmaker. Very good laptop.
@@simonepalmieri5600 yes I do I use Photoshop before it used to crash soemtimes when saving but now it works great, if you have any other questions let me know. I'm a computer science university student.
Congrats on your 10k in advance Oneday you will reached 1M subscribers I like your videos if you target mobile category then you will gain subscribers more fast
Sir, why my Huawei Matebook D14 AMD Ryzen 7 didnt use the glossy screen and it didnt have any problem of glare because not using glossy screen. only normal screen.
excellent content. i'm a big huawei fan (last 3 consecutive cellphones)...but will skip this laptop model. online camera & mic is 40% of my work day (nice privacy flip-up concept, but absolutely terrible placement...nostril-view...ha ha)...& the microphone sounded like the old 'piece of string with 2 tin cans' from my childhood? i think they are still learning...it's still early days for them with laptops...so i will try the next version in a couple of years with minimum 2 x usb-c & without the other issues you highlighted. i am a bit sad...but can now better make my decision for april on my other 3 finalists: lenovo flex, acer spin or HP envy...(funny thing, all 14 inch 2-in-1's? & the best-looking one right [both specs/performance & aesthetically pleasing] now combines 2 of my least favourite tech brands: HP & Intel...oh well?) unless of course there is no stock of the others on the day...& i can convince the store to throw in a free 1080P (non usb-c) webcam? it's different here in africa, man. keep up the great work...going to quickly search for your flex review i saw a while ago...& what i can find on the other 2. 👊🏻
Lenovo Flex 5? It doesn't have displayport out in the usb c which is an absolute deal breaker for me. HP envy looks like the nicest of those three to me. But also the Asus 2 in 1 with 11th gen I think looks pretty good. I totally agree on the mic quality. It's a pity but I haven't had any complain'ts on it which surprises me. I haven't reviewed the flex because of the displayport thing. But i hope there's an upgrade at some point!
@@w2best thanks...will look at the Asus zenbook flip 14 inch...was the first one i considered, but was about 50% more expensive than the others about a month ago & they only had that terrible blue colour in stock...will search again now for updates.
Bought it for 950$ with hp bag, mousepad, plastic case, laser engraving russian keys, in condition "used, but like a new". Nice notebook, thank you for the review. Will try downvolting because 108 degrees in hard mode is not good
Stuck between this 2 laptop. Cant decide. Hope someone reply me asap because the promotion ending soon. HONOR MAGICBOOK 14 2021 RYZEN 5 5500U WIFI 6 8+256GB 1080p 16:9 1000:1 RAM 3200Mhz $505 HUAWEI MATEBOOK 14 2020 RYZEN 5 4600H WIFI 5 8+512GB 2k 3:2 1500:1 RAM 2666Mhz $640 Price from local promotion. The thing most bother me is that is huawei has better build quality??
Did you check performance at battery power? My Matebook D14 is limited in battery mode to 2400MHz, only at AC it reaches 3700MHz. I expect such limitation in Matebook 14 too, could you check Geekbench or Cinebench?
I had the same choice and I've gone for Matebook. I really liked the screen, built and the overall feel of Matebook a lot more, so it was an easy choice once I saw them personally in a store, even though when I watched reviews of them I could not pick my favourite and they seemed kind of identical to me
I will comment for the first time. I bought Matebook 14 by watching the video. I'd like to add an eGPU, but it's not officially compatible with Thunderbolt, so I'm looking for information. It may not be perfect, Can I connect egpu to Matebook14 and use an external graphics board? If so, I'm thinking of buying an eGPU. I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
Good test, thx man. Can you say something to the clockspeed in a stress test for the cpu after some minutes? Is it still over 2,5ghz or lower over all cores?
bruh the fingerprint isnt instant, it caches the data but you need to leave it on there for half a second. Even phone fingerprint scanners arent that fast, cmon usually you dont do that kind of thing. I cant tell if youre trying to make this laptop seem worse than it is or what but that definitely was not the fault of the laptop
For sure. I think it's very well suited for that. Ryzen 7 is for sure more powerful. I don't know how much though since i haven't tried the h cpu difference
Is it just on my copy or the screen is a bit shifted towards a yellow-greenish tint? Tried to tweak it with Radeon app but it didn't go away. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Great video and review, super informative and straight to the point. I know You already sold this laptop but, do You remember if it have display out through USB C?
Any thoughts on the thinkbook 14p gen 2 ? With, ryzen 5000, 16:10 , 14 inch, ports in the back and good screen seems like could be a good alternative to Yoga Pro .
Wait - ports in the back?! I haven't seen this one I think! I've only seen the regular thinkbook 14 and it seems lovely! Also the yoga version seems great! I've been so heavy on lenovo though I think my next laptop for review will be an MSI.
Hi W2Best, very nice review. it looks I'm always looking at the same laptops that you are reviewing. The 3:2 aspect ratio is very interesting for my use case. Since you said that you tried the laptop in some cafes and in a work trip, I thought that it would be interesting if you made a video like "a day in my life" or "how is life today like in Sweden". I'm sure I would appreciate it. Keep on with your nice channel. Stefano
Nice review, congratulations. I'm worried about the high temperature while doing benchmarks, what do you think? Will it damage the laptop a few years from now? I'm also considering they new matebook D16 R5, same cpu and a new cooling system.
I agree that they are a bit worrying but since i basically never max the laptop out like in a stress test I'm not so worried. The CPU should be specd to hold 105 degrees. I feel like there should be a way to keep it below that
Man thank you very much i was locking for some info about the ports for like 2 months and you really gave me all the info about the ports and even other things!! Keep it up i wish you good luck!💖
I purchased the Ryzen 7. 16/512 for 780 euros a few days ago and it is a superb little computer for the money and very fast, the only thing I have noticed is it is giving me headaches !!. Has anyone else had this using this kind of screen?. It could be the glossy screen or the IPS having an effect. As a side note Windows 11 is working fine on my model.
@@w2best Yes that is on about 50% but I have now just found the blue eye saver screen so that helps while working on office documents. I have also been reading about IPS displays and it does effect quite a lot of people although it seems no one has fully investigated different screens and the real problems they can cause people. Thanks for your reply.
I'm a professional photographer and filmaker and I use this laptop to render 4k or 1080p project on davinci resolve 17 studio without problems. I have Zero crashes.
Really! I wonder if the studio and the free version are different? It's great to hear you have no issues. I couldn't do anything basicly before it stopped working.
@@w2best There is a fix for your problem. This is what you have to do : go to the official radeon website and try a older driver. Try the version 20.9.2 it will work.
Hi Sir... i just bought this laptop yesterday due to yr review. I noticed today that while charging the laptop gets hot to the extent that the fans run guite loud. The heat is especially noticeable on the left palm rest and keyboard area. Do you have this kind of issue?
I don't have any issues when charging! Not with the regular charger or with my monitor that powers it. But there has been some other people asking about this. So it might be an issue that is there in some units.
Hi! can you make a video on a eGPU support with this laptop? I am wondering if it would be worth the investment to play some high details game at full hd.
Hi, I'm thinking about getting this laptop or the ideapad 5 (ryzen 7 4700u). I prefer the matebook 14 but I'm concerned about the high temperatures. What's your opinion on the matebook's temperatures? I will use it mostly for programming (visual studio)
Thanks a bunch! I would prefer this because of the port selection, but for davinci resolve I think m1 would be better. However as a work/casual gaming laptop I think this is amazing. M1 for gaming is a bit so so... It's really hard to answer though, and tbh I feel like I should get an M1 to make these comparisons! It's probably time for that.
@M P I ordered the m1 today for 1179 euro. The price of the Matebook 14 with ryzen 5, 16gb ram and 512 gb storage (no touchscreen) was 999 euro. This afternoon dropped to 899 euro. I hope this m1 is as good as they say.
@@jordant993 Hi Jordan. I'm thinking of getting started. As you're a few months in do you have any recommendations on sites to learn on that have been good for you? Thanks.
