Huawei MateBook 16s, a very suitable laptop to take the office anywhere

July 16. (EDIZIONES/Portaltic) –

huawei has reinforced its commitment to the hybrid work model with the launch of the MateBook 16sa portable computer that offers the user the freedom to take the office anywhere.

The kind of hybrid work that the Covid-19 pandemic has popularized combines face-to-face work in the office with the possibility of carrying it out remotely from other places without affecting workflow or productivity, expanding the employee’s options.

Faced with this scenario, huawei has reinforced its commitment to this trend with the new MateBook 16s with Windows 11. To fit into the new way of working, this laptop is very easy to carry, since its weight is just 1.99 kilograms and it has an approximate thickness of 17.8 millimeters (mm).

The autonomy to work anywhere is also present in this new computer thanks to its battery 84Wh with which Huawei promises more than ten hours of work. It is long enough to endure the day with exhaustive sessions, but a more moderate use, as has been ours, averages an autonomy of several days.

If we run out of battery while away from home or the office, the MateBook 16s incorporates a charging port USB Type-C, like the vast majority of devices today. Thus, we will only carry a charger on most occasions.

And for greater flexibility, the new Huawei is also backed by sufficient ports, from a Thunderbolt 4 up to two USB 3.2, an HDMI and a 3.5 mm jack to be able to build a mobile office anywhere.

A TEAM VERY THOUGHT FOR PROGRAMMING, DESIGN AND EDITING

Due to its features and benefits, the main beneficiaries of having a device like this will be office, graphic design and video editing professionals.

Its 16-inch 2.5K screen reproduces 1,070 million, 100% of the sRGB range and offers a contrast ratio of 1,500:1, a set of features that make that the image is seen with great color detail and realismboth in editing jobs and on content streaming platforms.

It also offers us a comfortable viewing experience that becomes immersive thanks to the ultra-narrow bezel that surrounds the four edges of the panel. In addition, the 3:2 ratio of the panel saves us both the number of scrolling through pages of documents or presentations and navigation, since the surface it offers is greater than, for example, a 16:9 screen.

This new equipment also includes its own integrated image viewer that restores the original colors of a photograph thanks to the calibration by ‘hardware’ 3D LUT. An especially useful tool for working with the raw material before it is modified.

The ten multi-touch pressure points on the screen also make it easier for us to work with this equipment. As users we are able to navigate, zoom in and out with a simple gesture thanks to the high responsiveness that the panel incorporates.

The keyboard also stands out as one of the great protagonists of this product. Offering 1.5 millimeters (mm) of key travel, the typing experience is comfortable and enjoyable. In addition, it rests on a 140 mm x 90 mm soft-touch touchpad that, thanks to its size, accommodates a wide range of motion.

Professional use entails a series of demands that this equipment is responsible for meeting. the new processor 12th Gen Intel Core H-series (in this case an i7-12700H with 14 cores) that the MateBook 16s incorporates ensures smooth performance and allows us to carry out several tasks at the same time. This is of vital importance so that professionals such as programmers or editors can carry out their tasks without any interference.

This new Huawei laptop is capable of carrying out all these tasks and doing it, moreover, very quietly due to the cooling system. Huawei’s Shark Fin, which uses two large fans to keep the device cool at all times, even in particularly hot environments like now midsummer.

MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES ANYWHERE

Another of the main features of this MateBook 16s is the concept of Smart Conference. Huawei wants us to be able to hold a meeting anywhere and for this, it has implemented in new devices like this the camera and the sound by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

For starters, the 1080p camera on this laptop has three features: virtual background, FollowCam and Eye Contact. The first one allows us to select and customize a background during a video call in an easy and simple way.

For its part, FollowCam automatically adjusts the position of the camera so that at all times we are in the center of the screen in a very organic way. Finally, Eye Contact regulates the user’s line of sight so that it seems that we are looking at the eyes of the interlocutor, and not at the camera.

These details manage to enrich our video calls in compatible programs, such as Zoom. As a negative point, the virtual background and FollowCam cannot be activated at the same time.

Imaging features are supported by the AI sound, which enhances our voice thanks to Sound True HD and eliminates ambient noise with Sound TrueVoice. The first is an improvement that, although relatively subtle, allows us to better follow the thread of a conversation by highlighting the voice of the speaker. For its part, noise cancellation is well implemented, although its performance also depends on the headphones we use.

At the design level, the two microphones of the MateBook 16s are also capable of picking up our voice with greater or lesser clarity even when we are standing, for example, carrying out a presentation. While AI sound is supported by programs like zoom Y teamsHuawei does not yet support others such as Skype.

Due to its features and functions, the Huawei MateBook 16s is presented as a very interesting option, especially for those design, editing and programming professionals who need a team capable of offering good performance anywhere.
