“If the first generation of the mobile office is marked by the realization of ‘portable’ office equipment, and the second generation of the mobile office is marked by ‘light and thin’ office equipment, then the third generation of mobile office equipment should be characterized by intelligence, bringing users a new experience of ecological integration. The Huawei MateBook product family has begun to achieve greater intelligence, and the Huawei MateBook is the pioneer of the intelligent PC era,” Yu declared, in an uplifting tone.

The Huawei MateBook X and Huawei MateBook 13/14 2020 Ryzen Edition, both released at the conference, are both representative works in third-generation mobile office concept. They provide professionals with a refreshing smart office experience through the deep integration between laptops and mobile phones and data synchronization between different terminal devices provided by Huawei cloud space.

According to Yu, one of the core connotations of “intelligence” is synchronization. Through Huawei’s exclusive “Huawei Share, Seamless Experience” function, the company acomplishes near-end collaboration among laptops, mobile phones, and other electronic products. 

Through the “Huawei Cloud Space” function, Huawei enables data sharing across devices, time, and space between laptops and different electronic devices, allowing for remote collaboration. The innovation of remote and near-end collaboration capabilities has brought a new mobile office experience to users through ecological integration.

Li Bin, vice president of Huawei’s consumer business, said the Huawei MateBook 13/14 2020 Ryzen Edition recently launched is one of the few lightweight laptops in the market equipped with a standard pressure processor, giving it a more powerful performance compared with others at the same size and price.

The laptop is equipped with a brand new AMD Ryzen 4000H standard pressure processor, with 16G dual-channel high-speed memory, 512GB PCIe high-speed solid-state hard drive, supplemented by a newly upgraded shark fin cooling system.
