HUAWEI MateBook X Pro
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is the first notebook to feature HUAWEI FullView Display. The 13.9-inch 3K notebook featuring an all-new 10-point touchscreen has a 3000 x 2000 pixel resolution, 100% sRGB color gamut and is set at a 3:2 aspect ratio, perfect for content creation.

The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is available in two iconic colors: Space Gray and Mystic Silver.
The premium design of the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is matched by its performance. Featuring a powerful 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor and a discrete NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 GPU with 2GB GDDR52, it is one of the most powerful and lightweight notebooks on the market.

Huawei has applied many of its innovative smartphone technologies to the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro to create effortless and intuitive user experiences.
