Huawei unveils its ultra-light MateBook D laptop series

Huawei has launched a new range of ultra-light MateBook D laptops aimed towards young customers. The series includes two new 14-inch and 15.6-inch devices that offer a revolutionary cross-platform experience.

The Huawei MateBook D series includes a range of new features such as support for multi-screen collaboration and an ultra-slim bezel housing a FullView Display, allowing Huawei to squeeze a large display into a small and portable package. The MateBook D series offer 84 per cent and 87 per cent screen to body ratio, thanks to the ultra-slim bezel measuring just 4.8mm and 5.3mm in the 14-inch and 15.6-inch models respectively.
