HUAWEI MateBook D 15 - 15.6 Inch Laptop, 1080P FHD FullView

Both the display and speakers fitted to the 2020 D15 were a bit shoddy, so it’s unfortunate that they’ve not been improved at all in this iteration. The 1,920 x 1,080 IPS screen tops out a maximum brightness of just 135cd/m² (which is very poor), with an sRGB coverage and volume of 55.8% and 57.2% respectively. Delta E colour accuracy was also pretty dreadful at 6.04, and only the contrast ratio of 1,365:1 was in line with what I hoped for.

Connectivity - MateBook D 15 offers few ports, but fast Wi-Fi

That’s the highest score we’ve seen from an i5 processor and suggests that the Performance mode in Huawei’s PC Manager (which I used for the test) does what it says on the label. For reference, in Balanced mode, the D15 scored 105. It’s the same story when it comes to the Geekbench 5 test, too: the D15 scored 1,402 single-core and 4,681 in multicore, which is a very commendable performance for an i5-based notebook. come with the laptop. Reverse charging only works when the MateBook has more than 10% battery level More successful is the Huawei Share feature. This is an NFC badge the allows you to tap a compatible Huawei phone and seamlessly swap files between it and the Huawei MateBook D 15, as well as view the phone’s screen on the laptop.

I recommend converting them into a single partition using Windows’ Disk Manager. It’s a simple enough job to do: first, delete the D partition and then extend the Windows C partition into the free space. A powered-off HUAWEI MateBook D 15 can reverse-charge a HUAWEI P50, Mate 40 or P40, series phone. For optimal charging performance, please use the authentic adapter and USB-C cable that come with the laptop. Reverse charging only works when the MateBook has more than 10% battery level before the power-off, and when the phone is powered on. Meanwhile, the screen is too dim and washed out compared to other laptops at this price point, and the battery life of less than four hours for regular use is frankly disappointing. It works impressively well, and for anyone with a Huawei handset (certain Honor phones also work), this is a really strong selling point. However, while limiting this feature to Huawei handsets is understandable, it’s also disappointing if you have a different brand of smartphone, as you won’t be able to make use of this feature. Data comes from Huawei labs. Charging HUAWEI MateBook D 15 (only 1% battery left) in sleep mode for 15 minutes using the original charger, and the data comes from PCMark10 Modern Office shows how long the battery last. Actual test results may vary due to differences in user habits and conditions.With the MateBook D 15, Huawei has succeeded where many other manufacturers fail for a great number of reasons. The D 15’s CPU does not throttle down even when it is running on battery power. Here, the processor will keep running at full speed until the battery dies. Because of this, the energy consumption is slightly increased. However, why would you buy a powerful processor if you never intended to put it to good use? Moreover, Huawei has implemented a cooling solution that is tailored specifically to this type of hardware, and this is why the system produces so little noise. Also, we’re seeing an increasing number of laptops hit battery lives in the double digits – including some that go for over 20 hours. These days, a five and a half hour battery just isn’t that impressive. However, it doesn't look like it is available in the US and Australia at the time of writing. We’re following up with Huawei to get a better idea of worldwide availability. However, considering the US government’s complicated relationship with Huawei products, there may be a good chance that the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) will never be available there. While 8GB of RAM is the amount we’d like Windows 10 laptops to come with as a minimum, the 256GB SSD is a bit on the tight side – you may find yourself running out of disk space, especially if you have large collections of big files, such as videos and music. You can forget about games as well – there’s simply not enough space to install most modern titles, and the hardware of the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) wouldn’t run them well anyway.

Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) review: A fantastic budget work

This feature is supported by USB-C compatible phones such as HUAWEI Mate 40, HUAWEI P40 and HUAWEI P30 series. You need to use the original charging cable. Make sure MateBook has more than 10% power left, and that the phone is powered on.

Case - Light notebook with a rigid chassis

Huawei hasn’t taken any massive leaps forward with the new D15, but the small steps it has taken are sufficient to keep it very near the top of our recommended list of affordable laptops for another year, even if the price has gone up and the display hasn’t been given the upgrade it sorely needed.

This puts potential buyers of the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) in a slightly weird position. If you want the cheapest model, you’ll have to go for the 15-inch model with a 256GB hard drive. However, if you want more storage (and that’s not out of the question, as 256GB is pretty low these days), then you’ll need to pay more and make do with a smaller screen. This feature is only supported by some types of files and apps in Huawei tablets that run HarmonyOS 2 or later, and some Huawei laptops that run PC Manager 12.0.2 or later.The Samsung-made 512GB SSD did well in our speed tests, too, returning sequential read and write speeds of 2,787MB/s and 2,412 MB/s respectively. As with the old model, the new D15’s drive is divided into 119GB “C” and 337GB “D” partitions, which seems rather pointless. Manager 12.0.2 or later support this function. If you have any questions about this feature, please That’s actually lighter than the MacBook Pro’s 1.83kg, though Apple has crammed more tech (such as the aforementioned Touch Bar, as well as a discrete GPU) into the MacBook Pro. Based on a dual antenna design, the theoretical Wi-Fi 6 transfer rate is up to 2.4 Gbps, 2.7 times higher than the 867 Mbps of Wi-Fi 5. This is theoretical data only.
