To kick off the event, CEO of Huawei, Richard Yu made an appearance to introduce their flagship laptop, the MateBook X. Weighing only 1.05kg, the flagship MateBook X is a 13-inch laptop smaller than an A4 paper and only 12.5mm thin. It is even thinner than the 12-inch Macbook at 13.1 mm. The screen display has an extremely thin bezel at a 3:2 screen body ratio with the main body consisting of a full aluminium unibody design for a real premium feel.

It is also worth noting that the MateBook X will also be featuring a fingerprint scanner on the on/off button for ease of access.

Next comes the MateBook E which was typically the upgraded big brother of the original MateBook. Upgrades include a jump from 1080p to a 2K display, nine hours of guaranteed battery life and a big improvement on the connecting magnets for connecting and disconnecting the tablet.

While the MateBook X was aimed for high-end users that were on-the-go, the MateBook D is a 15.6-inch laptop that was aimed for the mainstream market.
