Can you please add a link to the hat?

The Huawei Matebook D is the best Ryzen based ultrabook on the market. Maybe if US manufacturers, made better laptops, I'd stop buying/recommending Huawei.

The USA has been snooping for a lot longer.

People with low incomes can now get good smart phones and laptops and all the good stuff at A fair and reasonable price. thanks to Huawei and the Chinese companies, I wish them all the luck in the world.

Don’t get why people are so scared by Huawei and still use Google, Facebook, etc. Their whole life is already being watched by America and they don’t complain one bit.

Watching this on* my Mate 20 Pro 😂

All of these companies copy from one another, didn't Steve Jobs once say: “We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas” “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” It was Huawei that pioneered the dual camera setup and others followed. It was Huawei that pioneered the image stacking night mode that lots of phones are now using. Huawei is no angel, that much is obvious, but lets be serious here, I doubt they are getting as much info on us as Google or Facebook is, and those two companies are make the majority of their money, buy selling individuals info to the highest bidder. Huawei remains a hardware company. This isn't a defense of Huawei, but I'd be more concerned with Facebook and Google, than I am with Huawei. Watching on my P20 Pro. 😎

Damn somebody talking level headed about Huawei. Well done man. Everywhere I look people are in a panic but you've got it spot on. Not much information out there and how much can we really trust any of these tech companies with our data

American backdoor, good. Chinese backdoor bad. A simple rule to remember.

Hey man just wanted to say I really like you and your videos. You come off great. Originally I found you from an older video about how to bend hard line tubing, which was one of the better videos on RU-vid about it (even though it had a small problem - you were using the same heat gun I have, but recommended "low" heat; that heat gun only has two settings and I ruined some acrylic trying to get it to bend on the low one, it just doesn't work). Anyway, I digress(tm), you're up there with the best of them. Look forward to seeing a lot more content!

You got like just for the hat alone......

This is the same government that claimed Cuba was attacking US diplomatic staff with sonic weapons that caused brain damage when it turned out they were just hearing crickets.

A bit hypocritical - If you think a US company has never stolen IP from another foreign company, then you need to think again. Apple themselves have had lawsuits filed against them on those grounds.

Great video. Loved this style. Phenomenal outtro with the music.

"Its my way, or the Huawei!" Love my Mate 9. The hardware for the price for a bunch of their products is awesome. I hate whats happening right now and hope it gets resolved without Huawei being forced out of the US market. If anything, using Facebook has proven worse than anything Huawei is accused of...and thats an American company but I don't hear anything about government telling its employees to avoid that like the plague....

This must be an America only problem. Huawei is insanely popular in Sweden and people like that they look like Apple products (often even better looking too). Of course the price is the biggest factor, as people don't want to spend 1000$+ for an iPhone X or even more for XS.

Here in Italy huawei is very very popular, super advertised in every shop or sold with phone plans. I think they might even be more then or on par with iphones and samsungs. Let's say that if you don't "need" an iPhone or you don't "wanna have that samsung", chances are you get a huawei.

Can that Hauwei laptop run OSX? (Hackentosh)?

Love my Huawei MateBook D 14 (VLT-WX50), it's amazing value, and honestly, which smartphone/laptop maker isn't collections as much information on you as they can? It works very well, except for the fact that after reinstalling Win 10 the fingerprint reader has stopped working, and I can't seem to find a fix online. Huawei own 'PC Manager' software says that it's working, but it isn't.

You know, I really love your channel. No bias to sponsors, no fanboyism, it’s just straight facts. It’s like that one good news site out of all of the cnn’s and fox’s. Keep it up buddy

I honestly don't care about the Chinese government seeing the kind of weird shit I am into, while using my laptop or phone. The US government already knows. But that great value on good products though. That's the good stuff.

I have this exactly one, 16Gb Modell, since 2019 and I love still. Its still not outdated, neither visual nor perormancewise.

Does this affect their other brand the honor line of phones aswell. Asking bc both me and my sister have the honor 7x cell phone.

Just purchased a Xiaomi kettle and the app to control it and connect bluetooth requires access to my contacts. Sounds legit

I use one for school, lost count of how many times they asked if it was apple, but all and all its a great computer

Thanks for the link to builds.gg! I'm smothering my build in rgb lighting and it's going to look so awesome :D

@Science Studio off topic, what kind of glasses frames are those?

The tinfoil hat was most appropriate.

I would never buy a Huawei product after they disabled bootloader unlocking on all their phones

You can use wireshark to sniff your network for outgoing data. That way you can analyze the packets going out. I've got an Matebook X pro, and I haven't seen any shady business. Though I installed my own version of windows 10 on day one.

well I do have matebook D its fantastic ever since I stopped using my asus N series

Searches by non-RGB and the second one is RGB

I absolutely love my matebook x pro that I bought partly because I watched your video. excellent explanation as usual.

What is the clock speed on that hat? Can it be overclocked?

I've got a Huawei Mate 20 Pro so I'm not to concerned. Great smartphone btw.

“They spy on you” -American Government Google, Facebook be like: -cough American government-

I watch TechLinked for a lot of my tech news and they regularly talk about new Huawei phones coming out. There are a few of them that are actually really impressive and that I've considered for my next phone; but it's difficult to get a Huawei phone in the US then having to deal with carriers on top of that.

Where i live (City in Germany) the P20 Series from Huawei is really popular. I know so many people with one. I have the lite version aswell.

All country collect personal data from your phone including US and China.

i died laughing when i saw your tinfoil hat lmao

My first smartphone was a Huawei acsend on metro pcs.. cost $100 in 2010. It was a pos even when I got it but was still oddly similar to the iPhone 3gs a roommate had

a much needed video! Good job!

It looks 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 than the macbook pro.

Watching on my Nova 2i ;) and probably being watched while watching, lol

Watched on a MediaPad m3 8.2 inch Honestly, there are some products that are difficult to ignore from them because they are legitimently good products (like my Mediapad for instance) for not unreasonable prices

I recently got the Matebook pro x and hands down best ultra thin laptop, the Mac Book killer, but recently i have been hearing alot about onboard physical chips used to spy for intel and make ls me worried slighty, just hope it doesnt go to the wrong hands.

google track us, facebook , government , ... and list go on Huawei not the problem if you want privacy go live in Island and Im ok with their products , amazing ,reasonable price

If apple didn't have competitors. Well just look at this Competitors: $1100 With none: $3000. Or just use your brain But if they have a different start they could sell for quantity, like they ever sold for quality

Have the Matebook D, love everything about it.

Is that runescape 3:13?

Guess what region of the world you won't hear any criticism of the Chinese government coming from.....China. That should worry you.

Alex Jones addition, nice!

so as i see manjaro, but which wm?

Really amazed by how good your hair looked after you pulled that hat off. Superman style.

Aliens where?

Where can I download ram for free?

pls make a review on mi notebook pro

they are not just celphone makers. here in PH they are major contractors that build cellular infrastructures for cellular service provider.

Hi Greg!

Let me put it like this. I have no hesitation in believing that the Chinese government would directly meddle with the company for the purposes of espionage, or that they would not hesitate to abuse the market share of a Chinese company for their own ends. I also don't hesitate to think the US would do that. The difference, is while I think the US *may* do that for *certain* purposes, I believe China *would* do it for *any* purpose where they believe it to be beneficial. The simple difference in mindset between how the average Chinese official thinks of things and how the average American official thinks of such things is just like that. Made even more true thinking of what is openly talked about by the highest level of the Chinese government. That doesn't mean that I will never buy Chinese, but that is something I factor into any decision regarding the use of Chinese products.

Watching this video on Huawei Mateboox X Pro. Love this product

ive had huawei phones, mostly around 2009-2014 timeframe but they always worked like a freaking dream, and they worked well their whole lifetime, only reason they died (lasted well over 4 years btw, including the batterylife) was cause of well, i kinda wanted something mroe up to date, so i dissembled it for curiosity reasons after getting a new one. think i still ahve the huawei honor 2 or whatever it was called, would use it if i hadnt broken the screen on it :/ by far the best phone ive had. its not like other cellphone manufacturers wouldnt take info off our device and its not like they dont steal the design as much as they can legally get away with.

The major issue you missed is the simple fact that the CEO of Huawei is former People’s Liberation Army and has been heavily bankrolled by the Chinese Government. The central difference between Chinese and American companies is that Chinese companies are directly tied to the Government by board members, etc. While America has used companies as soft power, see the Movie Industry, China’s approach is far more integrated. The major concern with Huawei is not necessarily the consumer goods, but the infrastructural equipment, e.g. cellular routers for networks, etc. Yes, a botnet of laptops could cause havoc, but the real issue is espionage and the undermining of critical infrastructure. In effect, Huawei is a pawn for both sides. China used Huawei to steal technology to build a modern cellular network and is now (allegedly) using them to compromise other countries’ communications networks. The United States is using Huawei to send a message, similar to the one they screwed up with ZTE. As with all conspiracies, this has some truth and exaggeration about it. The reality is that Americans want cheap consumer goods and Huawei and Chinese manufacturers deliver. From a spying perspective, I would only be concerned, if you are engaged in a business competing with Chinese companies or developing cutting edge technologies with strategic value. Otherwise, enjoy your laptop. And maybe run Glasswire.

As a Chinese, I'm very proud of Huawei and their achievement. And I believe Huawei can truly be the leader of 5G technology. BTW, your new glasses look great.

I use a Chinese notebook (Jumper ezbook 3 pro) and removed the microphones and camera. Do I need to say more?

I recently got a Huawei smart phone and I love it, especially since it was mispriced and I got it much cheaper for $30 USD. With 8 cores and 2GB RAM, what more could you ask for for $30???

Not sure if you are trolling or not 😂 but there was once a wise saying, a country without their own telecommunications equipment is the same like a country without an army. So that's why the US Is just scared as fuck, to lose their no. 1 position.

the reason i dont trust huawei is because of the nexus 6p they used junky batteries that went bad after only a few months i had mine replaced 3 times for randomly shutting off before 0% usually around 40% and then i got the to bad your warranty is up really felt like i threw away my money on that one only got 1 year out of that phone

Where did you get this Tin Foil hat? Does it come with RGB?

I tried their matebook x pro. Trackpad was loose, speakers cut in and out, and throttling was a big problem. Ended up sending it back.

The problem I have (based on my limited understanding of the issue) is the fact that, by stealing designs and other forms of innovation, Huawei effectively eradicates the incentive for innovators to continue to create new products; much of innovation comes from the awareness that a concept or product will be safe from theft and therefore will succeed as business proposal because it is a protected piece of property. Without this security, it makes it very difficult for inventors (and their investors) to want to design and produce new tech. Not only does Huawei's business practice reduce incentive, but it also supports the idea that the Chinese government can continue to rely on, without paying proper respects to, international communities for their innovation which they cannot gain through a highly regulated market.

It's all political. Unreasonable or unfounded evidence.

A big part of Huawei business is in the datacentre where they are challenging Cisco with top tier network gear. The US is just trying to protect Apple, Cisco and probably some other American businesses...

Loved the nexus 6p

So, the conclusion is, ignorance is bliss?

We also said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction

As a former US Navy "Electronic Warfare Technician" (now part of the CT- Crypologic Field) ... I have ( & LOVE) a Matebook X Pro. I work in the Legal Technology field and have every confidence that A: My Govt won't be watching me based strictly on US Hardware backdoors B: If China really has to put the screws to Huawei to gain entrance to non-existent backdoors just to see what "I" am doing, so be it, it won't be that exciting. I intend on purchasing another Matebook X Pro (I have to have redundancy in court) and ditch my MSI GS63 as my daily driver in Trial.

I switched mate20pro from Google pixel 2 xl. Love it! Best looking android phone.

I'm Chinese. And I always laughed at western ppl who think Huawei is a trustworthy brand. There is a law in our constitution which stated every Chinese company has the duty (Yes, it's your job) to help the government to do anything they asked for and, guess what, they can't refuse. Basically, if, for example, our government asked Huawei to let them access every user data, they have to allow it. Or it will end badly for you. And trust me, it won't be fun for you in a communist society if you refused their requests. This is not a hypothesis here. It will happen. it's a sure thing here. It's not some kind of a behind deal thingy. So can you white ppl wake up already?

Huawei's Honor 8 is the best smartphone i've ever had (yes, i had very few) and i very love them. They're nice.

Watching this whilst I wait for my matebook x pro delivery 😀

Ditched my apple products (mostly because battery problems) but using a Huawei P20 Pro and Matebook 13. Honestly so happy especially the matebook 13. Never been happier :)

5:30 You can say the same thing about the US government, for not upholding individual privacy rights.

We have 2 spies 1 nsa- apple, other china - huweai.. So i prefer the cheapest one. The mais problem is that the nsa can't spy macs keyboards anymore... ( does not work)

@2:09 That is a good thing because those constructs of the state stiffle innovation and the consumer pays for it in the form of higher prices.

Can someone explain to me why people value the old usd so much? I switched to USB-C and couldn’t be happier. I’m wondering what is so valuable about the old usb.

These laptops look really nice, anyone running a Linux distro on them?

I think the 13" MBP comparison to the Matebook pro X is a bit ridiculous.... One has a dedicated gpu for a start.

my camera is not working i am having same laptop. it is showing black screen kindly someone can help me in this

The spying and privacy issue, while a major concern, isn’t even the biggest thing standing between me and the purchase of a Chinese product; it’s the quality. Every single time I cheap out and purchase a Chinese product it always ends up failing because of the lack of QC. There is a distinction between Made in China and Made by China. I have owned many products from companies that were made in China: my Samsung TVs, Philips TVs, Dell monitors, Apple products, Samsung appliances, and all of the enjoyed a nice, long life or are still working. Any time I needed help or service, I didn’t have to question wether or not service would be there. When a tub barring failed on my Samsung washer, they swapped the tub and assorted parts under warranty within a week, and even covered the labor even though I was a month out of labor coverage. Never had an issue since. My Phillips TV had its speakers go out, and they came out and fixed it in my living room. My Dell monitor had a light leak issue, and was swapped with no questions asked. My iPhone had a failing speaker, and the phone was swapped out, in store, without a problem. Now, what about the Chinese products I or friends have bought? I won’t go into the crap batteries I have bought, or the terrible light ballast that failed three times in the course of two years, because they weren’t large companies. However, a friend had a Haier refrigerator and it worked great for a little over a year. Once the warranty expired, the refrigeration unit failed and Haier in the US was damn near impossible to get ahold of. When they did get through, they were given the number to a repair shop and basically told ‘good luck’. I personally purchased two Sharp TVs, one after the other. The first unit was a real Sharp, designed in Japan and made in China. The second unit was a rebranded HiSense (since they bought the rights to use Sharp’s name in the US). While the real Sharp was a floor model that was always one, and gets used daily for 2-3 hours, while the brand new HiSense one saw 4-6 hours per WEEK if I was lucky. Guess which one, after two years, failed? Yep, the HiSense. I paid a premium price for a worse-than-Walmart-grade TV. Not the mention the blacks on the panel looked horrible compared to the true Sharp. HiSense offered to replace the TV, which was only two years old, with a refurb for half the price I originally paid. Instead, I went to the store I bought it from and the manager made an exception to swap it for a different brand if I paid any difference. I ended up going with the Samsung as I have had great luck with them. No issues so far, and the TV is excellent.

You are pronouncing Huawei right, that's remarkable.

I live in Shenzhen China,thanks for reviewing huawei laptop,you’re just a nice guy,you didn’t bias huawei heavily,your video has senses,huawei might never come back the USA due to political reasons

Completely happy with my Huawei media m5 tablet.

I would love to buy Huawei phones but I thought they weren't being sold in the U.S. They have the second most powerful SOC and I like their designs.

I ordered some mockbook from huawei, pucked a little and returned it.

Great video. I'm from Canada and of course there is a controversial case against a Huawei exec over here. Despite the bad optics of the legal battles with the US and Canadian governments, friends and family members of mine own or at least express interest in the comany's current product offerings. They make great hardware at competitive prices which is what really matters to most consumers at the end of the day.

The US shouldn't have jerked Canada around in regards to the CFO being held. You make the request then follow through, don't wait a month and then file charges and look to extradite.

Damn, I thought you were going to say the following 0:30: "lean a little bit closer and you'll find roses really smell like ou ou ou."
