Hands-on with the Elegant and Flexible Huawei MateBook E 2023
Similar to its predecessor, the Huawei MateBook E 2022, the Huawei MateBook E 2023 also features a compact and flexible design with the ability to customize from laptop to tablet. The transition is still very simple, you just need to detach the keyboard to use it as a tablet and attach it to the opening stand on the back to become a laptop. The flexible switch between 2 forms helps you to be more proactive in work.

Not to mention, the Huawei MateBook E 2023 still boasts compact dimensions (286.5 x 184.7 x 7.99 mm) and weighs around 699 grams. The corners and edges of the Huawei MateBook E 2023 are gently curved to avoid sharpness or discomfort for users when holding it as a tablet. Therefore, you can easily slip it into your bag and take it to work or school all day long without feeling any discomfort.

The entire body of the Huawei MateBook E 2023 is crafted from metal, providing a luxurious look and ensuring higher durability. Additionally, Huawei knows how to please users by dressing up the Huawei MateBook E 2023 in various new colors such as Deep Blue, Graphite Black, White, and Pink White. These vibrant and youthful colors are perfect for today's young generation.

Certainly, with a slim device like the Huawei MateBook E 2023, limiting the number of ports seems like something we have to accept. On the left side of the device, there is 1 USB-C port, 1 power port, and 1 standard 3.5mm headphone jack. The right side of the machine only has an additional USB-C port. So, if you need to use additional peripherals such as projectors, monitors, keyboards, mice, etc., you'll need to have a HUB ready!

An outstanding feature that cannot be overlooked on the Huawei MateBook E 2023 is its display. Specifically, the device still features a 12.6-inch OLED display with a 2K+ resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels), similar to its predecessor. However, with the 2023 version, Huawei has upgraded the refresh rate to 120 Hz, providing a smoother, more vibrant user experience. With such specifications, it can be said that the Huawei MateBook E 2023 is a very worthwhile upgrade compared to the previous generation.

In addition, the Huawei MateBook E 2023 comes with an additional stylus pen, enhancing your usage experience to look more professional and flexible.

The accompanying keyboard of the Huawei MateBook E 2023 has been early evaluated by many users in China to be decent and not significantly different in terms of experience compared to the predecessor version. The keys are large, comfortable to press, with a shallow key travel, and the key layout and spacing are reasonably arranged.
