In its latest launch, HUAWEI has finally released the MateBook X Pro (2024) here in Malaysia. HUAWEI’s newest laptop offering is marketed as an ultraportable and ultralight option that weighs only 980g, which to that effect is comparable to the 13″ MacBook Air which stands at 1.25kg.

Regardless of the variant you choose, you’ll be getting a 14.2″ OLED display packing 3K (3120×2080) resolution and 120Hz refresh rates. Helping with visuals is its 100% sRGB coverage, and an average △E<1 colour accuracy. It is also touchsreen.

As for I/O ports, the MateBook X Pro has 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports located on the left side, and a single USB-C port on the right.
