Huawei MateBook 16s: the master of creativity (starting from £1299.99)
The Huawei MateBook 16s proves that large-screen laptops don’t have to be big and bulky. It’s huge 16-inch glass screen is surrounded by ultra-narrow bezels, so you’re getting the maximum amount of screen real estate. Unusual for a laptop this size, it also has a taller 3:2 aspect ratio, which is perfect for working with documents, your photo or video edits or reading websites, without having to wear out the trackpad by continuously scrolling. It’s an incredible amount of real-estate to work with. Once you’ve tried, it’s hard to go back.
The screen of the Huawei MateBook 16s isn’t just large, however. It also looks amazing, thanks to a high 2520 x 1680 resolution that makes photos look pin-sharp. It supports 1.07 billion colours, which along with its high contrast ratio, means images look incredibly bright and vibrant, and photographers will love the fact that it supports 100% of the sRGB wide colour gamut.
The Huawei MateBook 16s also has brains to back up its beauty. Housed within its sleek and stylish body are the new 12th generation Intel Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The Core i9 is an absolute beast, with 14-cores, and along with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, it means the MateBook 16s is a formidable workstation laptop with blazing-fast performance that can easily handle even the most intensive workloads, such as editing ultra-high definition 4K videos, or creating mind-blowing 3D animations.

Huawei MateBook D 16: a world-class laptop for all your needs (on offer now for £699.99)
The Huawei MateBook D 16 performs something of a magic trick, by offering a huge 16-inch display, in a thin and light body of a 15.6-inch laptop. Now you don’t need to compromise on size and weight – you can enjoy the benefits of a large screen laptop without having to carry around a heavy device.
Like its sibling, the MateBook 16s, the MateBook D 16 archives this feat thanks to the incredibly thin bezels that surround the screen, giving you a vast Huawei FullView display without adding additional bulk. It’s really something to look at, especially at this price point.
In these days of hybrid working, where many of us are dividing our time between working and studying from home, the office, or the university campus, a thin and light laptop that still provides you with all the performance you need is essential. That’s exactly what the Huawei MateBook D 16 offers, so you’re able to work when - and where - you want.
Its supremely thin design doesn’t mean you miss out on great features, however. Its low profile keyboard offers 1.5mm key travel and a soft-landing design, and that makes for a typing experience that feels amazingly comfortable and responsive. The keycaps are made from high-strength materials, and coated with multiple layers of paint, so you can type away to your heart’s content, safe in the knowledge that the keyboard won’t suffer any wear and tear.
It also comes with a wide range of ports, including two standard USB connections, two fast USB-C ports and a full size HDMI port. For creative professionals who need to plug in a lot of peripherals, the port selection of the MateBook D 16 means you can work anywhere and not have to constantly worry about bringing adapters with you.

Video calls in style
These days, many of us make video calls, be it to attend lectures remotely, talk to work colleagues or clients, or keep in contact with friends and family around the world.
So, having a great webcam and microphone is essential, and the Huawei MateBook 16s and Huawei MateBook D 16 go even further thanks to their Smart Conference features, which uses AI (artificial intelligence), along with a stunning 1080p AI webcams, to make sure you look – and sound – your best.
You can use virtual backgrounds to brighten up your surroundings on calls (or hide any piles of unwashed clothes behind you), while the FollowCam feature makes sure that you’re always kept in shot – and in focus. The clever Eye Contact feature also means that you’ll appear to be looking directly at the people you’re talking to, even if you’re actually looking at the laptop, making video calls feel more personal and natural.
