Here’s Review about huawei matebook 14s
Here’s Review about huawei matebook 14s. When it comes to evaluating Huawei laptops, a common mantra is to ignore the Chinese manufacturer’s persistent Android issues because the Windows laptops are excellent.
But there’s usually a significant qualifier after that: excluding the webcam. The persistent usage of a hidden under-keyboard webcam—a fantastic idea when webcams weren’t widely utilized, but less so now—has let down the company’s laptop line.
With a redesigned keyboard, 90Hz refresh rate display, and improved fast charging, the MateBook 14s modifies the formula slightly. However, the decision to place the webcam back atop the display eventually proves to be the most welcome improvement.
And look – there isn’t even a notch. Take that, Apple.
- Not ultra-thin, but still slim
- numerous ports
- conservative aesthetic
The premium MateBook X and X Pro series get Huawei’s ultra-slim design, whereas numbered variants like this one are often a little bit chunkier.
The MateBook 14s is still very portable even with its lowest specification, which weighs 1.43kg, but it feels considerably more solid than some of the thinnest laptops on the market. There is also a somewhat smaller MateBook 13s, however, it won’t be available in many markets, including the UK.
Speaking of, the right side of the device has a single USB-A 3.2 connector, while the left side has a 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI, and two USB-C ports. They can be used for charging, data, and DisplayPort, and if you purchase the top-spec model, one of them also functions as Thunderbolt 4 (check for an Intel Evo certification to be sure).

I’ve really enjoyed the keyboards in recent MateBooks, so I was worried when Huawei said that the keys had been redone this time.
Fortunately, I didn’t need to worry. The new illuminated keyboard has a greater travel distance of 1.5mm, which is relatively deep for a laptop. Although this is undoubtedly not a desktop mechanical keyboard, typing on it feels quite natural and gratifying. My biggest keyboard pet hate is that soft, silent keyboards always seem mushy, but this one just might become my new favorite laptop keyboard.
One other significant change, which I’ve already highlighted, is the removal of the webcam that was previously concealed inside a phony Fn key. Interestingly, it has been replaced with a genuine key that still rests between F6 and F7 and is reserved for enabling a dictation mode that makes use of Microsoft’s integrated speech recognition. Although I doubt I’ll use it frequently, I’m sure some folks will value the alternative.
