Based on its looks, the MateBook appears to be a winner on paper, it looks slim and sleek at just 6.9 mm with 10 mm bezel that would definitely be an on the go executive or anybody would want to have.

Aside from that Huawei also introduced the MateStylus which is perfectly built for presentations at it has 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity for better writing experience, clicker function, has a laser pointer and a rechargeable battery that can run up to an month on a single hour charge.
