It looks like Huawei has been puzzling over what the perfect business laptop might look like for quite some time. It definitely needs to be light, strong and reliable so as not to create problems on the road. It must be thin and beautiful, so as not to get lost against the background of competitors. The performance of the system is needed such that it works without brakes, but at the same time not excessive, so as not to overheat the case once again and not waste battery power in vain. Well, we must not forget about the advanced equipment, so as not to get into trouble due to the lack of the necessary video connector or a slow communication module. In general, this is quite a common set for any business class model in 2021 - 22 years of release. What's next? Huawei has come up with some unique features that set the MateBook B laptops apart from competing products.


Mandatory attributes of the MateBook B series are a built-in TPM 2.0 module, a biometric sensor built into the power button and an unusual retractable webcam, which is located as a separate button on the keyboard. When not in use, it hides in the case and looks like a regular key. This is a much more elegant solution than a regular webcam shutter. Also, all devices of this family support Huawei Share proprietary data exchange technology. With its help, a user can connect a Huawei smartphone to a laptop in a couple of clicks, and then exchange files over the air like in AirDrop, broadcast the smartphone screen to the laptop, receive video calls, etc. In general, by the standards of business class models, this is a rather serious set unique tools.

At the start of the MateBook B series, 3 models were presented, which are divided into classes. The line starts with relatively simple 15-inch MateBook B3 models with 8/16 GB of RAM, Core i5/i7 processor. We can say that this is a pure classic. MateBook B5 laptops have more serious screens with 2K resolution, slightly more powerful processors, and a minimum amount of RAM is 16 GB. Rounding out the chain are top and miniature MateBook B7 ultrabooks with high-end displays (3K resolution, 100% sRGB coverage), improved touchpads (react to pressure) and energy-efficient batteries. At the same time, all MateBook B models are equipped with an integrated graphics adapter Intel Iris Xe.
