The past year has created a new demand for laptops as many people are still working from home and some children are doing remote learning. So, now more than ever, laptops need to deliver faster performance, plenty of storage, and longer lasting battery life for those annoying loadshedding schedules. With the new HUAWEI MateBook D 14 i5, everyone can work efficiently from the comfort of their homes.
At first glance
The HUAWEI MateBook D 14 i5 really catches the eye with its sleek design. It retains the FullView design of its predecessor, with a screen-to-body ratio of 84 percent and a 16:9 aspect ratio to support an outstanding visual experience. It features a 14-inch 1080p Full HD IPS anti-glare screen and has passed TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker Free certifications, providing scientific eye protection by effectively relieving visual fatigue caused by prolonged viewing. So even if you’re a workaholic chained to your desk, or a student cramming for Matric exams, at least you won’t feel as tired when you’re burning the midnight oil.
Multi-screen Collaboration allows for a seamless experience
The most exciting thing about this laptop is its range of innovative system features. One of these is the Multi-screen Collaboration feature that offers a new experience and takes the HUAWEI MateBook offering to the next level. Huawei Share Multi-screen Collaboration is based on distributed technology. Developed to address the consumer demands Huawei identified, this feature not only enables file transfers, but also lets users share many features, which were previously unique to one device, across multiple devices.
With Multi-screen Collaboration, you can project your phone screen onto the laptop screen and seamlessly control both using one device. It’s like a bridge between your phone and laptop. You activate it by tapping your phone against your laptop, and then you can quickly transfer files between the two devices. You can send messages from your phone, and edit documents on your laptop, all using one screen. So, when a colleague sends you a file via Whatsapp on your phone, you can effortlessly transfer it to your HUAWEI MateBook D14 i5.
With its elegant design and innovative features, the HUAWEI MateBook D 14 i5 brings something new and fresh to the laptop industry. Everything works as naturally and intuitively as if it is natively run. With this feature, trivial tasks that used to take a while to complete now just need a second or two, tops. And who doesn’t need some time saving in their workday?
It’s all about the specs
The HUAWEI MateBook D Series comes with a range of new experiences that showcase Huawei’s commitment to innovation. For example, the recessed camera lets Huawei further cut down on the bezel size and provides better privacy. The HUAWEI MateBook D 14 i5 has ultra-slim bezels to get a high screen-to-body ratio to provide a wide viewing area in a compact form factor. The bezels at the top, left and right measure as narrow as 4.8mm, resulting in an 84 percent screen-to-body ratio. An aspect ratio of 16:9 and up to 180 degrees of travel makes it an ideal laptop for content viewing with an 1080p FHD IPS screen featuring anti-glare protection.
Another example is the support for fingerprint login. The fingerprint power button is also inspired by smartphone design. It not only makes unlocking more convenient, but also makes the overall design cleaner. The MateBook D series also features the HUAWEI Shark Fin Fan 2.0. The newest iteration of the fan packs more fan blades – which are also thinner – delivering even greater cooling performance and higher air output.
The innovations that Huawei brings to the table have already had a revitalising effect on the whole notebook market. What HUAWEI Multi-screen Collaboration does is beyond what laptop features typically provide – it’s a full experience that redefines the relationships between devices and users.
