That doesn't bode well.<p>It seems to say nine hours of video playback or 29 hours of music playback (screen off?), but that's an optimised use-case for most computers.
I would not describe this as the best product name. Hearing this, I wondered if it was some sort of Facebook-like dating site for people looking for serious matches.
Funny, when glancing over the text quickly, my brain always seems to transform "Huawei MateBook" into some product by Apple; I'm guessing because of the <i>i</i> somewhat standing out at the end of 'Huawei' and then the 'MateBook' being so simiar to <i>Macbook</i>. It does look like a crossbreed between Surface Pro and iPad though, and not even a bad one.
I like how they did the finger print sensor on the side. I hope Microsoft does this in a future Surface, along with the RealSense camera for Windows Hello. Nice having two options. I still don't think any tablet has been able to compete with the Surface line in terms of how the keyboard and kickstand operate in tandem.<p>To me, this is more of an iPad Pro competitor than a Surface competitor. The one "problem" or "innovation," that I think Windows is going to bring with RedStone is "smart bezels" with continuum. The device is an infinity display but when you switch to tablet mode you get bezels and apps have access to create buttons in the bezel space (which I think Wacom users would adore.) I have a feeling that is coming soon. The issue there is where to stick the camera...but PixelSense has cameras built into the screen...I dunno.<p>Off topic, but I am really excited now where Windows tablets can go. I like that OEMs are stepping up their game.
Looks great to me! Very tempted to buy this. The new Surface book looks amazing but this beats it on price massively and it looks almost as good. Not sure on the specs though I think the surface book winds that game
I thought Apple patented the round corners/edges [1], so is Huawei paying royalty to Apple?<p>[1]: <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/7/3614506/apple-patents-rectangle-with-rounded-corners" rel="nofollow">http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/7/3614506/apple-patents-rect...</a>
