Huawei MateBook D 15 notebook coming to Malaysia at a tempting RM2,499 price tag

First seen in China, Huawei will be launching their highly affordable MateBook D 15 notebook that is powered by an AMD Ryzen processor in Malaysia with a slated street date of 18 January 2020 and an eyebrow-raisingly low price tag of RM2,499.

For your money, the Huawei MateBook D 15 looks like quite a tempting proposition. It’s about 16.9mm thin and comes with a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS FullView panel. The slim bezels and recessed selfie camera enable the notebook to have a respectable 87% screen-to-body ratio. The panel is also certified by TUV Rheinland for low blue light emissions to make it easier on the eyes.

In terms of hardware, the MateBook D 15 has a 12nm AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor paired with AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics running Windows 10 as well as 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD + 1TB hard disk storage combo for RM2,499. This setup should be more than sufficient for paperwork and a spot of retro gaming. Connectivity options include a single USB 3.0 and a pair of USB 2.0 ports, a 3.5mm audio jack and an HDMI port.

The key benefits with the MateBook D 15 don’t revolve around just its price tag alone. The notebook also benefits from being a part of their Huawei Smart Life ecosystem and has the same Huawei Multi Screen Collaboration feature seen in their earlier MateBook 13.

This effectively allows you, assuming you own a Huawei smartphone that is, to create an instance of your Huawei phone display on your desktop to drag-and-drop files, use native phone apps and the like in a seamless fashion. At present, there’s only the above configuration available for sale in Malaysia and can be purchased online at their store as well as Huawei Experience stores nationwide.
