About this deal

Performance Mode is turned off by default due to its higher power consumption. It may cause heating and the cooling fans to generate a louder noise level. It is recommended to turn on this mode only when needed, and while MateBook

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. illustration purposes only. Actual products may be installed with Windows 11 and the silkscreen may vary As you’d imagine, it’s a crowded market that can be difficult to stand out in – which is why Huawei is going all-out with the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020)’s design. The MagicBook 15 is a minimalist masterclass, an all-metal body with a smooth matte finish, complemented by a 15.6in display with narrow bezels, thanks in part to the webcam being squirrelled away on the keyboard. However, there isn’t a separate port for the mains power, which means that the single USB-C port will be relegated to the role of supplying juice most of the time.On the plus side, the actuation point is 1.3mm so you don’t have to hammer away at the keys to type. And I found it pretty easy to get comfortable and up to 80 words a minute after a few hours of bedding in. Using a fingerprint to sign in to Windows 10 is a great feature, and the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) has the added bonus of including tech that reads your fingerprint when you press the power button. Your fingerprint is securely saved as the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) boots, and then used to log into Windows, so you don’t need to press it a second time. It’s a little thing, but it’s a nice touch and makes using the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) a much smoother experience. The in-house benchmark test simulates a wide range of PC use cases to demonstrate how well a system handles basic PC tasks and multitasking, although looking at the results for the Geekbench 5 test – which gauges CPU power alone – the Honor MagicBook 15’s Ryzen 5 5500U is only slightly more powerful than the Intel Core i5-1135G7, which features in its Windows rivals, and is left in the dust by Apple’s M1 chip.

You don’t buy a Core-i5 laptop without discrete graphics for gaming but I still ran our usual Metro: Last Light Redux and DiRT: Showdown tests, and at native screen resolution (again, in Performance mode) they managed 33.5fps and 36fps respectively. This really isn’t all that bad and shows that a little light gaming certainly isn’t out of the question. At a reduced 1,280 x 720 resolution, Doom ran smoothly enough at between 40 and 50fps depending on the level of onscreen mayhem.Mode provides an instant boost to CPU and GPU performance, which may result in louder fan noise and There are, of course, plenty of differences in the design – and some of them even work in the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020)’s favor. Huawei adopts a multi-supplier strategy for certain components. All components comply with Huawei's standards. Actual products in local markets should prevail.

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. including 5V / 2A, 9V / 2A, 12V / 2A, 15V / 3A, and 20V / 3.25A. Actual output will vary depending on the device Data comes from Huawei labs. In the battery life test, screen brightness is set to 150 nits. Battery life may vary according to the usage habits and conditions. The original 65 W charger is used to charge the laptop for 15 minutes in sleep mode from 1% battery level. Actual usage may vary depending on the product, usage habits, and environment.
