HUAWEI launches MateBook D16 w/ 16:10 aspect ratio, 12th Gen Intel chip, and Metaline antenna!

At the ongoing HUAWEI Smart Office launch in Bangkok Thailand, the Chinese tech giant launched the MateBook D16.

Bigger screen, more possibilities?

The MateBook D16 is said to be a productivity laptop with a premium look, a 16-inch FHD screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio + 90 percent screen-to-body ratio that is great for multitaskers, and 12th Gen Intel Core processors.

It is portable enough despite its size

The device also has 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD storage, and a 60WHr battery with USB-C 65W SuperCharge.

For the first time in a D series laptop, the D16 now has a 1080p webcam for a better video calling experience.

With num keys!

The device also has 2x speakers, 4x microphones, and a full-sized keyboard with num keys. The HUAWEI Share tag is still located near the Intel stickers, not under the touchpad compared with higher-end MateBooks though.

One of the key highlights of the laptop is it is using a WiFi 2x2 MIMO enhanced by the Metaline antenna for stronger and faster signal reception.

It runs with Windows 11 Home OS. This is a HUAWEI Super Device-ready laptop as well.
