The MateBook X would be an impressive laptop under any circumstances – the fact that it’s Huawei’s first just makes it even more so.

This laptop’s a curious one in the performance stakes.Laptop makers tend to choose Intel Core i Y-series processors (such as the Core i7-7Y75) for fanless laptops because these ultra low-power chips are made for short bursts of performance and low power consumption.

The Huawei MateBook X is one of the best Windows 10 ultrabooks available. It’s thin, light, has a great screen, great speakers, good keyboard, solid trackpad, brilliant fingerprint sensor and gets all the basics right. It’s also fanless despite having a full, U-series Core i5 or i7 processor, making it completely silent but with full laptop power.
