what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the latest addition to my office this right here it's called the huawei matebook 14s
this is a premium laptop that's powered by the 11th generation intel core i7 that's paired
with 16 gigs of ddr4x ram so very fast ram and a powerful cpu and we also have the intel iris
xc integrated graphics and when you pair that with a powerful cpu and the super fast ram
you do get a very fast machine this laptop has a 14.2 inches fully laminated ips screen that has a
90 hertz refresh rate of course we get the same three by two aspect ratio that we've seen for
similar looking laptops and the maximum brightness for this screen is 400 nits so you're gonna be
able to see the screen no matter where you are the view angles are also really good so if you
look from the side you can still see it if you look from high up you can still see it
so very good viewing angles on this screen as well and the maximum resolution is 2520x1680
and what's quite interesting and something that you don't typically see is the fact that this
screen is also a touch screen personally i'm not a big fan of touching the screen on any
device with my finger because i leave marks on the screen and those marks drive me crazy but
yes this is also a touchscreen there is no lag whenever you're touching the touch is
also accurate so if you want to open a window if you want to close the window everything works
really good but as i said me personally i don't like touching the screens on any device because
i just can't stand those marks on the screen and since we are talking about the screen yes you can
open this with one hand you don't actually need two hands to open the screen it also opens quite
wide so even if you have the laptop in your lap you can still see that screen because it opens up
quite wide and the hinge is also very smooth so i love the opening and closing this laptop the build
quality is also top notch we basically have metal pretty much everywhere and if you are looking for
a device that looks and feels premium well this is definitely looking and feeling very premium
on the front here of course we have the big huawei logo and the device itself weights 1.43 kilos
and the thickest point of the device would be on this side here so about 16 millimeters here so
very light and portable device i'm gonna say at the bottom here we have two rubber legs one on
the front and one on the back and of course that will help so the computer doesn't slide on your
desk we also have um some intake holes so for air to come in you can see two two fans at the bottom
here depending how you look um the device and of course the air comes out through the back here
and then we also have the holes for the speakers one on the left hand side and one on the right
hand side and even though we have two holes we actually have four speakers inside this laptop
and the speakers sound really really good and next i guess i'm gonna play you a quick example just
so you can um get a feeling for how good these speakers sound so let's see that and i'll be right
up back
so as you've heard really good sounding speaker taking in consideration how slim this device
is all right moving to the front here we have a little cut out so you can easily open the
lead and we also have four microphones so this computer uses some ai to enhance your voice so
whenever you're using it for video calls for example your voice does sound quite good and
at the top of the lead here we have a 720p camera that's the camera that we have and next i want to
show you a quick example so you can get a bit of an idea of the video quality from that camera and
the quality of the internal microphones so let's check out that recording that i've done with this
um laptop and i'll be right back okay so this is a quick video and audio attached to the matebook 14s
so we're currently using the internal microphones the four internal microphones that i've showed you
earlier and we're also using the camera that we have just above the screen the maximum resolution
for that camera is 720p however this camera can also be used for windows hello so if you don't
unlock the computer by typing your password or by touching your fingerprinter that camera also works
to unlock your computer so this is how a recording down that camera and the internal microphones on
this computer would sound and look like so the only thing about that camera is the resolution
i kind of wish it would record them at a high resolution at least 1080p would have been ideal
you can also use that camera to unlock the computer using windows hello but we also
have a fingerprint scanner so the power button has a built-in fingerprint scanner so you can
unlock the computer um that way by touching that fingerprint scanner or through the camera they
both work really good on the right hand side of the laptop we have a usb type a port this is a usb
3.2 and on the other side of the laptop we have two usbc ports one of them being a thunderbolt 4
we also have an hdmi 2.1 so this could output 4k at 120 hertz and we also have a 3.5
mil audio jack that also has microphone support moving on to the keyboard well first of all this
is a backlit keyboard there are two levels of brightness for the keyboard but it doesn't get
super bright so unless you're in a very dark place you can't really see that the keyboard is
backlit so you should have been a bit brighter the keys have about 1.5 millimeters of travel they're
very comfortable and also very quiet so even if you're typing in a quiet place you're not going
to make that much noise so very comfortable um keyboard the mousepad is quite large it is
very accurate so there are no issues with finer movement so if you're moving something very small
on the screen there or you want to do some finer movements no issues with that whatsoever and as
i mentioned earlier the power button also has a built-in fingerprint scanner inside this we have a
60 watt hour battery and the charger that comes in the box is a 90 watt charger so charging this from
zero to 100 is done in about two hours so pretty quick for such a massive battery i'm gonna say
and on one charge you can get between five and 13 hours of usage it really depends on what you do of
course because if you're using the screen at the maximum refresh rate of course you're going to be
using more power if you're playing games you're going to be using more power but for example if
you have the screen set to like 30 brightness you can watch videos for like 12 13 hours so
it really depends how you use the computer but that kind of goes for all computers in general
connectivity wise you have wi-fi 6 and bluetooth 5.1 and of course if you have a huawei device you
can also take advantage of that while we share i don't have any huawei devices at the moment so i
can't really show you how that works but i've done a video on a previous huawei laptop i don't know a
few months ago and i will leave a link to that in the video's description or the top right corner i
explained how that works in there as for the wi-fi 6 unfortunately the tech at home here is a bit
outdated and i wasn't able to take advantage of the wi-fi 6. hopefully in the near future i will
do some updates um here at home and i can actually take advantage of those speeds performance wise
well this is much better and much more powerful than i was anticipating typically when you get
a device with integrated graphics they don't do that great for video editing for example or
for gaming but compared to all the other ones that i've tried with integrated graphics this one does
really well i did notice that the fans inside that do get a bit loud when the device is under a load
but compared to my gaming laptop that i have right there it's not that loud and this is a
quick example just so you can hear how that fan inside the device um sounds like and while i'm
running this benchmark test you can also hear the fans inside the laptop so i'm gonna be quiet for a
few seconds so you can hear how loud the fans get so compared to my gaming laptop this is definitely
nothing my gaming laptop gets way louder but i'll be quiet so you can hear those fans
moving on quickly to some benchmark results um first we have geekbench five so we have a
single core score of about 1463 and a multi-core score of 5800 and an open cl score of about 17
780 and let me zoom in a bit so you can see the cena bench scores okay so here you can see
the 11 gen on intel i-core i7 of course this is a quad-core cpu but here for windows 10 we actually
have windows 11 running on this device we get the multi-core score of about 5300 and a single core
score of about 1400 so not bad for a quad core cpu so these are the benchmarks that you can
expect from this particular huawei laptop okay so the first game i want to show you is called
age of empires 4. i typically play this game on my gaming laptop and this is a game that requires
um quite a bit of resources so i was quite surprised to see that it even works
on this laptop so a laptop that doesn't have a dedicated gpu as i do on my gaming laptop
now of course i can't use this game at the maximum graphics settings so if we go to settings here and
graphics you can see the settings that i have so this is the maximum that you're going to be able
to get from a computer like this of course with my gaming laptop i can have everything um on high
here i won't be able to use um everything on high but even like this i feel that the performance is
quite decent and the game is quite unplayable as well we can zoom in a bit so you can see better
so quite impressive that we can play a game like this on on a computer that's not exactly a gaming
computer we are building that building here let me scroll around a bit so you can see how this works
i'm gonna zoom out a bit we'll send this boat um here i guess
so yeah this is how age of empires forum would perform on this huawei device
so overall pretty good for a device that's not supposed to be a gaming um device okay
we are moving on to our second uh game test this one it's called crossout um this one you
can actually play at uh way higher graphics settings compared to the other one and this
one does perform on quite well for a device that's not intended to be a gaming device i'm just gonna
go here so we can fight these uh people a bit this is a multiplayer game as well
so as you can see no lag at all for a game like this
so yes you can definitely play a bunch of games on this huawei laptop you may not be able to play
all games uh at the maximum graphic settings this one is set um pretty high but a lot of games
will play on this which is quite surprising for a device that doesn't have a dedicated gpu as i said
done earlier so yes you can definitely play games on this laptop of course this laptop was never
intended as a gaming machine but even like this it does perform way better than i was expecting i
didn't think that i would actually be able to play age of empires forum on it that game does require
a lot of resources but yet the laptop managed to get that going on it and going pretty good um
i may say those fans inside it keep the laptop cool because it does get hot whenever you're
playing up those kind of games the same kind of goes for video anything but those fans
inside it will definitely keep it cool i feel that this is mostly a business laptop a laptop that you
can do your work on it and you can do it really well because there is a lot of power in this
device a laptop that you can take on vacation because the battery life on it is really good
it has a beautiful screen so overall this is one of the best laptops that i have tried so far and
definitely the best laptop that huawei has made so there you have it this is the huawei mate book
14 s hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
