The keyboard of the MateBook X Pro 2023 is already familiar from the MateBook X Pro 2022 model and offers an excellent solution for those who usually work intensively with the keyboard. Key travel is short, barely 1,5 mm. The two-level backlight in white helps in dark environments, but it has to be activated manually. The keyboard area is also equipped with a fingerprint reader, which works flawlessly.
Il touchpad is equipped with numerous features useful that were directly inherited from the previous version.

Screen and speakers | Huawei MateBook X Pro 2023 review
This Huawei MateBook X Pro 2023 does not feature nothing new compared to the predecessor in terms of screen. However, this absence of novelty does not constitute in any way an inconvenience. Conversely, the screen remains one of fundamental pillars of this laptop. While not adopting the technology OLED, the display is notable for its 90Hz refresh rate and a 3K resolution, first-rate characteristics from every perspective. The liveliness of the chromatic tones and intense blacks make this screen extraordinary both for work activities and for the use of recreational content. Furthermore, it is also surprising for its chromatic precision.
The width of the screen, which measures 14.2 inch, it houses a system of six directional loudspeakers on its sides. These speakers, with their ability to produce a fairly full and immersive sound, are ideal for enjoying a few serie are Netflix. However, it is important to point out that while they may satisfy occasional music listening needs, they may not be the preferred choice for those looking a complete musical experience and fulfilling.
Performance and Battery | Huawei MateBook X Pro 2023 review
And here we are in the key paragraph of each review: how does this MateBook behave in everyday use? Surely the processor, which we remember to be a thirteenth generation i7, combined with 16 GB in RAM make the use truly satisfying and complete. In fact, the CPU offers an appreciable increase in performance compared to the previous generation. This CPU is up to the chip M2 Apple’s standard, featured in their latest MacBooks for performance and speed. With the addition of 16GB of RAM, the laptop features enough power to easily manage web browsing and Excel spreadsheets. In addition, it is also a valid option for work on light photo-editing and video-editing software.
For the most demanding users (whether editing 4K video, creating 3D assets or playing the latest games) you are likely to find limited by the power of P-series CPU and the lack of a dedicated GPU. However, for most users, the power a disposition And more than enough.
Moving on to the battery side, despite the improvements in terms of efficiency due to the thirteenth generation processor, the situation does not change in this case either. The battery life certainly cannot be described as poor, as the laptop managed to last for over ten hours in our consistent HD video playback tests. However, it is evident that it falls just below average. The battery offers enough power to tackle a full working day, provided that the tasks are not too demanding. On the practical side at least, things are simple: charging is done via USB-C and all four ports of the laptop can be used. The speed is remarkable: the compact 90W included managed to bring the battery back to the 60% capacity in just thirty-four minutesstanding among the fastest on the market.

The first perhaps a little high, considering that it can hardly be used as a main PC from content-creators who abuse energy-intensive software; the second, autonomy, slightly limited compared to competitors but still largely sufficient for a typical day. For the rest there is nothing more to say: the aesthetics And sublime, the screen, combined with the touchpad and keyboard, return a enviable feedback. Using it is certainly a pleasure.
