Huawei today introduced the MateBook 16s laptop in China. The manufacturer said that the novelty is the first laptop based on the Intel Evo platform, which uses the flagship 14-core processor Core i9-12900H with a frequency of up to 5 GHz. The company is also ready to offer simpler versions of the laptop – based on the Core i5 and Core i7 of the Alder Lake generation.

The laptop received a 16-inch touchscreen display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, support for a resolution of 2520 × 1680 pixels and 100 percent coverage of the sRGB color space. The color accuracy of the screen is at Delta E<1. The screen has a brightness of 300 cd / m2. The laptop does not have a discrete graphics card.

The body of the novelty is all-metal. The laptop received an 84 Wh battery with support for fast charging. The battery replenishes the charge up to 50% in 30 minutes. The Huawei MateBook 16s is 17.8mm thick and weighs 1.99kg.
