Renewed design, high performance with 12th generation Intel Core i7Huawei MateBook X Pro (2022) buy from Huawei Online StoreWith the MateBook Series, Huawei has gained a significant place in the laptop market.MateBook X Pro is the flagship product in this series, which includes members that appeal to different user groups and needs.Designed for those who want the best in terms of performance, material quality, design and other elements and can pay the price for it, this laptop is now available with updates that meet the requirements and needs of 2022.The list includes eye-catching features such as 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 14.2 inch high resolution and quality display, Thunderbolt 4 support, fast charging.We have been experiencing this high-end laptop, which has a price tag of 44 thousand 999 TL, for about 10 days.Our impressions and comments are included in the detailed Matebook X Pro 2022 review and video.The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 model also has a body made of metal.However, the blue model we have has a surface that we have not seen in previous MateBook series models.The magnesium alloy body has a skin-friendly and durable coating.This coating covers the computer's cover, base, edges, in short, almost every point other than the screen, touchpad and keyboard.The matte surface prevents it from slipping while holding or carrying the laptop with its light friction.It helps your hands to sit comfortably while writing, thanks to the slight friction that exists in the areas where the palm touches.It should be noted that this surface is somewhat sensitive to fingerprints and smudges.It would be good to clean it with a soft cloth from time to time.Thanks to the full CNC unibody technology of the MateBook X Pro, we have a design that gives it a whole look all around.Moreover, this structure also increases durability.The MateBook X Pro is sleek and slim, but also solid.You feel it when using the laptop.The hinge structure is just as sturdy, although there is still the convenience of lifting the lid with one finger and waking the computer.The 2022 model has notable differences in design compared to last year's model.Although Huawei has increased the screen size, it still includes a thin bezel around the screen.Huawei achieves a high screen-to-body ratio of 92.5%.As a result, it takes up less surface area than you would normally expect a 14.2-inch laptop to have.Its conical profile measures 15.6 inches at its thickest point and 5.4 millimeters at its thinnest.As a result, we have a thin laptop in front of us.This makes it comfortable to carry it by hand or place it in a bag.On the weight side, we can say that with 1.26 kilograms, it has shifted to the lighter side among laptops.Indeed, when you hold the MateBook X Pro in your hands, you feel its lightness.This is to your advantage when using it on your laptop or when you want to hold it for a short while and do something.We also see the standard keyboard layout that we see and use in Huawei's MateBook series laptops in the X Pro 2022 model.This keyboard increases usability with its wide key ranges and shortcut keys on the top row that make it easy to use.Moreover, Huawei offers the keypress depth of 1.5 mm, which we see on the keyboard of the MateBook 16s.Thus, you do not feel pressure on your fingertips while typing.In addition, the hardness of the keys is well adjusted.You can comfortably use the keyboard without too much playfulness, but without too much effort to press.We are writing the review article you are reading with the keyboard of the MateBook X Pro 2022 and we can say that we are very comfortable.The camera placed on the keyboard, which we often see in previous Huawei MateBook Series models, has become one of the symbols of these laptops, and is moved to the top of the screen with the 2022 models.We've seen this feature on the MateBook D16 and MateBook 16s before, and now we see it in the MateBook X Pro 2022.This will appeal to those who don't like what the previous place has to offer regarding viewing angles.However, the privacy advantages of the camera built into the keyboard disappear.To physically turn off the camera, you must open the Control Panel located in the lower right corner of the screen and click the toggle button right next to the Camera control there.This button did not exist before, we see it has just been added on the MateBook X Pro.The webcam here has 720p video support.We found low-light image performance to be good, while still providing good image quality in brightly lit environments.Thanks to its artificial intelligence-supported camera features, Huawei takes the experience to a higher level in online meetings or video calls.When you click on the Camera option from the Control Panel, you will see various tools in the window that opens.We've seen the ability to change the background image or blur the background, automatically center the scene and adjust the gaze on the MateBook D16 and 16s models.Using these features is optional, but we can say that when you open them all, your image will be displayed a little better.Next to this we see a new setting called Beauty.When you open this, you can access settings such as softening the skin, brightening, changing the shape of the eyes, adjusting the skin contour.We often see these settings on the selfie cameras of smartphones.Huawei has ported this neatly to its laptop.Although Huawei has given up on one of the iconic features of its laptops and turned to the traditional, another iconic element remains.That's the power button where the fingerprint reader is placed.This unit works fast and makes it easy to bypass the laptop's lock screen.However, the MateBook X Pro also has a facial recognition system with Windows Hello support, alongside the webcam located on the top.Thus, not only practicality but also a higher level of security will be on your side to bypass the locked screen.We've also added fingerprint when using the MateBook X Pro, but it should be noted that we usually use facial recognition.The touchpad is also one of the notable areas where the 2022 MateBook X Pro has improved over its predecessor.The surface area of ​​the touchpad has grown, reaching the edge of the laptop.With its soft surface and high responsiveness, it does not require the use of an external mouse.This touchpad supports classic Windows gestures with multiple fingers, making it comfortable to use.However, thanks to the system Huawei calls FreeTouch, you can do more with the touchpad.For example, the ability to take screenshots by tapping the screen as if to knock on the door, which we saw on Huawei phones before, now moves to the touchpad.Moreover, you can quickly share the screen recording using two fingers.In terms of port options, the MateBook X Pro 2022 is worthy of a high-end laptop.There are a total of four USB-C format ports.The two on the left have Thunderbolt 4 ports.In other words, it supports data transfer up to 40 Gbps.The USB-C ports on the right also have a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.Although these ports do not reach the level of Thunderbolt 4, they can reach high data transmission speeds.Huawei has included a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box to make it easier to connect USB-A devices.To connect a monitor to the MateBook X Pro, you must use the USB-C format ports.Video output can be provided to two 4K monitors or one 8K monitor at the same time.There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack on the left side.In terms of screen features, the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 exceeds expectations.First of all, as we said above, the screen size has been increased from 13.9 inches to 14.2 inches.Huawei has again preferred the 3:2 aspect ratio for this laptop, where productivity-oriented works will be at the forefront.This aspect ratio can be used in Word, Excel etc.Office applications or applications such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro provides more line count and more content, visual elements or tools on the screen at a single glance.It does not lag behind 16:9 screens when it comes to using two application windows side by side on the screen.The screen resolution is 3120 x 2080 pixels, which offers a pixel density of 264 ppi, more than enough for a laptop.The sharpness and clarity of the screen is very good.With its 90 Hz refresh rate, Huawei is making progress in one area compared to the screen of the 2021 model.On the other hand, the screen also has a touch feature.When opening the Huawei Control Panel or listening to music on Spotify, the touchscreen works for things like this.However, the touch screen will also be useful for those who will work in Photoshop or similar graphics applications.Huawei has covered the screen with a solid glass so that you can touch the screen comfortably.The hardness of this glass is good, moreover, Huawei says it has high resistance to scratches.The maximum brightness of 500 nits of the screen, which has thin bezels, provides comfortable use indoors and outdoors.Moreover, the low reflection coefficient of the glass we mentioned above facilitates vision, especially in bright environments.The viewing angles of the screen are high, and the reduction in brightness and color remains very low even if you look almost entirely from the side.The screen supports the P3 color gamut, there are 1.07 billion color screens.This allows working with realistic colors in Photoshop and similar applications.You can also watch high dynamic range videos.Let's mention that HDR support is available on Netflix.The screen of this laptop is perfect for watching movies, TV shows or YouTube videos.Huawei continues to include eye comfort-oriented features on the screen of its MateBook Series laptops.Moreover, we see that these features have been moved further on the screen of the MateBook X Pro.With TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certification 3.0, low blue light and flicker-free display are guaranteed.Flicker-free screen and low blue light level are offered on a hardware basis.In this way, there is no eye strain in long-term use or sleep is prevented when working at night.We are writing this review article that you are reading right now, at 11-12 am and we have personally experienced that the performance of these eye comfort features of the MateBook X Pro 2022's screen is high.On the audio side, the MateBook X Pro 2022 looks too powerful for a laptop.There are 6 speakers in total.Two groups of woofers and two tweeters deliver clear, crisp and loud sound output with the help of Huawei Sound technology.Moreover, the surround sound effect is very good, and the bass is also well felt.At highest volume, the treble isn't overkill, either.Listening to music on this laptop is extremely enjoyable, the same goes for videos.Thanks to Dolby Atmos support, you can watch movies with the MateBook X Pro 2022's sound system without the need for any other accessories.Front-facing speakers placed on either side of the keyboard help immerse you in content while watching movies or playing games.Huawei Control Panel has a special control for Huawei Sound.Click on that and there are separate tabs for Speakers, Headphones and Microphones.From here you can try different sound profiles for each unit and choose the appropriate one among them.Speaking of microphones, the MateBook X Pro 2022 has four microphones.This microphone system is extremely good at recording your voice at optimum operating distance.What's more, your voice is clearly captured even when you're away from the laptop.If you choose TrueVoice Sound in the Huawei Sound settings, the background noise is suppressed and your voice is brought to the fore.We have personally tested that this has been done successfully.You can choose the TrueHD Audio profile to capture the surrounding sounds and make them intelligible with your voice.Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 comes with the 12th generation Intel Core processor, as expected.This high-performance and conveniently portable laptop features an Intel Core i7-1260P processor.This processor has a TDP of 30W.It stands out with its combination of speed and efficiency.Moreover, it has Intel Evo certification.It meets the criteria such as 12th Gen Intel Core processor, Wi-Fi 6E support, Thunderbolt 4, instant wake-up from sleep mode, long battery life, fast charging, Intel Isis Xe graphics processor unit required for this certificate.Alongside the Core i7-1260P processor is 16GB LPDRR5 RAM and 1TB SSD.Thanks to this hardware package, a performance that is worth the price is provided.MateBook X Pro 2022 does its job without stuttering in a usage where more than 60 Chrome tabs are always open, accompanied by many different applications.It also provides the opportunity to work fluently and quickly in productivity applications such as Photoshop or Premiere Pro.There are two different modes called Performance and Balanced in the Optimization settings in the PC Manager application installed on the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022.Balanced mode strikes a balance between performance and power consumption.If you want the maximum performance of the Core i7 processor and the laptop is plugged in, you can enable Performance mode.You can also activate the same mode with the Fn+P key combination.We put the MateBook X Pro 2022 through various benchmark tests.You can see screenshots of the test results in the gallery below.In the rankings, we see that the MateBook X Pro is in good places for an ultraportable computer.It should be noted that we performed the tests with the Performance mode active and the device connected to the socket.This laptop lacks a wide enough ventilation grille at the base, thin and long, as we've seen on laptops like the MateBook 16s, D16.Despite this, Huawei's dual Shark Fin fan system does a good job at dissipating heat.Although a certain temperature is felt in the place where the processor and other main system components are located, we see that it remains within a reasonable range.Fan noise is felt under heavy load, but you have to put your ear close to the X Pro to hear it clearly.When we come to the battery side, the 2022 model MateBook X Pro has a 60 Wh battery.When you don't set the screen brightness too high and keep the laptop on standby when you're not using it, you can get through a work or school day from morning to night on a single charge.A 90W Super Charge power adapter comes with the blue version with an Intel Core i7-1260P processor.Although there is no power adapter in the box of the product Huawei sent for testing, a good fast charging performance is also provided thanks to the 65W Mini Supercharger Adapter.While it is stated that it is possible to charge it from zero to 58 percent in just 30 minutes, it should be noted that it takes about one and a half hours for the computer's battery to reach 100 percent from 3 percent.The USB-C wireless and power adapter that comes out of the box will be enough on its own for your travels.You can use this duo not only to charge the X Pro, but also to fast-charge Huawei's SuperCharge-supported smartphone or tablet.Moreover, you can use this cable and power adapter to charge other accessories with USB-C input.You can use any USB-C port to charge the MateBook X Pro 2022.This provides practicality.Meanwhile, the laptop can charge smartphones, tablets and similar devices connected to USB-C ports with the lid closed.This turns the MateBook X Pro into an in-bag powerbank.If your mobile devices need power, you can use X Pro for this job.Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 comes with Windows 11 Home installed.In addition to offering the classic Windows 11 experience, you can download apps and games distributed from the Microsoft Store.You can also easily run traditional Windows programs.Huawei PC Manager, on the other hand, takes care of the maintenance and optimization of the MateBook X Pro 2022, as well as opening the door to productive collaboration experiences with other Huawei devices.If you own a Huawei-branded smartphone or tablet, you'll want to use it more with the MateBook X Pro.Each of these is what Huawei calls a "Super Device".They easily connect with each other and perform different tasks.You can easily connect two devices by touching an NFC-enabled Huawei phone to the touchpad.Again, you can use the Super Device panel in the Huawei Control Panel.You can mirror the screen of an EMUI phone like the Huawei P50 Pro or similar to the laptop, and work by opening three different application windows at the same time.There is also the possibility of mirroring the phone's sound on the screen or making MeeTime calls from the computer.The MatePad Pro 12.6 or a similar Huawei tablet can be used alongside the MateBook X Pro as a second screen.Or by choosing Collaboration mode, you can use the tablet and laptop as separate devices side-by-side, but manage the tablet with the X Pro's keyboard and touchpad as an extension of the PC.Sharing the clipboard or moving content by drag-and-drop method are also among the possibilities offered.Let's also mention that with Huawei Share, you can easily share files, photos or videos between MateBook X Pro and Huawei tablets or smartphones.The feature Huawei calls Multi-Device Collaboration makes a smartphone or tablet connected to the MateBook X Pro appear as a separate external unit in Windows Explorer.From here, you can easily transfer photos, videos or other types of files.AI Search provides the ability to search for files, photos or other content on the connected phone or tablet.In addition, if you download and install Huawei's Huawei Mobile Cloud for PC, you can access the files you store on the Huawei Cloud, upload the files to the cloud to free up space on the computer.Moreover, you have access to the notes you have stored in the cloud.On top of that, you can use this application to see the location of devices under the same Huawei ID, play the sound or lock them in case they are lost.The "Super Device" conveniences also apply to Huawei FreeBuds series headphones or speakers like the Sound Joy.You can easily connect them to the MateBook X Pro, just like connecting it to a Huawei smartphone or tablet, without messing with Windows' more complicated Bluetooth pairing settings.The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 offers all the features you expect in a high-end laptop.Already, the previous X Pro models made the difference with their design and material quality.With the design and material updates made now, it has become a product that gives the feeling of a valuable device more.Its lightness and thinness also make this laptop more comfortable to use and carry.With its 3:2 aspect ratio, the screen meets the needs of productivity-oriented people who are the main target audience of this PC.In addition, high resolution, wide color gamut and brightness will help these people to use the computer more efficiently.On the other hand, it will also respond well to leisure needs.The sound system complements the screen very well in this area.The high-end hardware features we expect in a 2022 laptop are available in the
