News & Reviews:   Huawei MateBook D review

In years past, laptop manufacturers have always stuck with Intel CPU. But this year, AMD bulldozed its way back into contention in the mobile CPU space, with many laptops now featuring the companies mobile Ryzen CPUs. The latest one that may get it is a new Huawei MateBook D series laptop, which is going to be equipped with a CPU from the Ryzen 4000 Mobile series.

So you're looking for a laptop, but you want a lightweight one, also for work, and perhaps a little gaming, with a good resolution for binge-watching Netflix, and a reasonable price. Boy, that's a lot to ask for but we might have something that fits your description and that's the Huawei Matebook D.

If you have a tech-savvy friend who uses Apple, you would notice that it has a feature called Airdrop which works wonders between Apple products, transferring files seamlessly and wirelessly. You might have also thought to yourself "Is there a way to transfer files instantaneously without downloading a third party app between your laptop and mobile?" Well, you're not the only one and thankfully, Huawei has come up with its own wireless transfer feature called Huawei Share and here's why you can consider using it!
