I have been using the HUAWEI MateBook D 16 for a month now, and I must say that I am impressed by its performance, design, and features. As a cybersecurity analyst and a technology editor, I need a laptop that can handle multiple tasks, provide a large and clear display and a battery that lasts a long time without needing to plug in. The HUAWEI MateBook D 16 meets all these requirements and more. 

Here are some of the aspects that I love about this laptop:

Weight and Lightness: The HUAWEI MateBook D 16 is surprisingly light and thin for a 16-inch laptop. It weighs only 1.68 kg and is 17 mm thick, making it easy to carry around in my backpack or even in my hand. It feels like a 15.6-inch laptop but with a bigger screen and a sleeker body. I can work anywhere and anytime without feeling burdened by a heavy device. This makes the HUAWEI MateBook D 16 ideal for students who need to update to a more powerful device and for professionals who need a laptop to lug along while working outside the office.

Display: The 16-inch FullView Display is one of the best features of this laptop. It has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which gives me more vertical space for viewing documents, web pages, and videos. It also has a 90% screen-to-body ratio, with an ultra-narrow bezel on the sides. The screen is bright, sharp, and colourful, with a 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution and a 100% sRGB colour gamut. The display is also certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue light and DC dimming, which protects my eyes from strain and fatigue. I can work for hours on this laptop without discomfort or distraction.

Long Battery Life: Another feature I appreciate about this laptop is the long battery life. According to Huawei, it has a 70 Wh battery capacity, lasting up to 15 hours of local video playback when fully charged. In my experience, I used the Matebook D 16 for a whole day of work and entertainment without running out of juice. I can edit photos and videos, browse the web, watch Netflix, and listen to music, all on a single charge. And when I do need to recharge, the HUAWEI 65 W USB-C power adapter can quickly fill up the battery in no time. It also supports HUAWEI SuperCharge for supported devices, which is very convenient for me as I use HUAWEI P60 Pro and the Matepad.

HUAWEI Super Device: One of the most innovative and exciting features of this laptop is the HUAWEI Super Device, which allows me to seamlessly connect and collaborate with other Huawei devices, such as my smartphone, tablet, and monitor. This feature lets me quickly transfer files, share screens, and control apps across devices without hassle or delay. For example, I can use my smartphone as a second screen, my tablet as a drawing pad, or project my laptop screen to a larger monitor, all with a simple drag-and-drop gesture. This feature enhances my productivity and creativity, as I can work on multiple devices simultaneously and enjoy a smooth and consistent experience.

Besides these main features, there are also other aspects of this laptop that I like, such as:

Keyboard: The keyboard of this laptop is comfortable and responsive, with a 1.5 mm key travel and a soft landing design. It also has a numeric keypad, which is very useful for me when I need to enter numbers or do calculations. The keyboard also has a fingerprint power button, which allows me to quickly unlock and log in to the laptop with a single touch.

Dual Shark Fin Fan: The Matebook D 16 has dual shark fin fan technology, which improves the heat dissipation and performance of the laptop. The fan control algorithm also reduces the noise and temperature, making it quiet and cool even when I run heavy applications. I don't need to worry about overheating or lagging issues with this laptop.

HUAWEI Metaline Antenna: The MateBook D 16 uses a Metaline antenna technology to increase signal conversion efficiency and provide a stable and smooth network connection in an environment with difficult signal reception. It also has an SGS five-star Wi-Fi certification, which means it can support up to 270 meters of connectivity, even with walls and obstacles in the way. I can download large files, stream HD videos, and join online meetings without interrupting or buffering.

WPS AI: The laptop comes with a pre-installed WPS Office app, which is an all-in-one office suite that is similar to MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, and ChatGPT. It also has a WPS AI feature, which seamlessly integrates with the WPS Office suite and allows me to harness its capabilities within my workflow. For example, I can use the WPS AI Writer to generate and edit text or use the WPS PDF Reader to annotate and convert PDF files. This feature has made my work a lot easier. Instead of spending my time checking for typos and minor errors, WPS AI Writer can do it for me.

Intelligent Smart Conference Tools: The laptop supports intelligent smart conference tools, which make online meetings more accessible and smarter. It has a 720P AI camera, which features an AI background, FollowCam, Sight Correction, AI noise reduction algorithms, and Personal Voice Enhancement. These features allow me to adjust my appearance, background, and voice during video calls and enhance communication quality and efficiency. The laptop also supports fast nearby connection with other Huawei devices, such as earphones, mice, keyboards, speakers, and printers, which I can easily pair with the laptop by putting them close.

The HUAWEI MateBook D 16 is an excellent laptop for anyone who needs a powerful, portable, and versatile device. It has a large, immersive display, a long and fast battery life, and a HUAWEI Super Device feature that connects and collaborates with other Huawei devices. It also has a comfortable keyboard, a dual shark fin fan, a HUAWEI Metaline antenna, a WPS AI, and intelligent smart conference tools. It is a laptop that can handle any task, whether work or entertainment and help me be my best. I highly recommend the HUAWEI MateBook D 16 to anyone looking for a new laptop.
