The Huawei MateBook Family 2021, the latest iteration of Huawei’s line of laptops first introduced in 2016, is ushering in a new era in mobile computing.
In just a span of five years, the Huawei MateBook series has achieved so much, starting off with a 2-in-1 model as Huawei’s first-generation laptop to the first MateBook model equipped with an Infinite FullView Display in 2020 that brings to us the future of the smart office.
The concept of smart office, however, is truly upon us, with the new normal compelling us not only to embrace remote work but also online learning. Today’s scenario calls for the adoption of a smart life wherein smart devices enable us to explore and experience smarter ways to play, travel, and work, as well as stay fit and healthy.
Celebrating the fifth anniversary of Huawei’s MateBook Family, this year’s models improve on the enhancements introduced to its predecessors and sets a new standard for intelligent laptops. The Huawei MateBook 2021 continues to carry the DNA and the inherent elements that truly define a Huawei PC: aesthetics, innovation, and intelligence.
Moreover, Huawei envisions the MateBook series not as a totally separate line of devices but as a part of an ecosystem of interconnected devices. “The devices will be connected in the future no matter what kind of operating system or technology you are using. Huawei is trying to bring all the devices to one ecosystem and not isolated from one another,” said Cheng Lei, tablet and PC business product marketing director at Huawei Consumer Business Group.
“While we had already launched Huawei Share Multi-screen Collaboration two years ago, we are still trying to bring this innovation to a higher level. With the latest MateBook models, you can perform different tasks at the same time and it brings you a better multitasking experience. In the second half of this year, we will make our FreeBuds connect with our PCs,” he added.
With the latest versions of the flagship MateBook X Pro, the prime MateBook 14, and the mainstream MateBook D 15 model, the newest line of Huawei MateBook laptops brings to the table the benefits of intelligent computing at various price points.
