Where the other test models we viewed are compact, the Huawei MateBook D15 takes a different tack.

The MateBook D15 is equipped with a large 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution. This makes the laptop especially interesting for those who want to work with a comfortable screen not only on the road, but also at home. The makers have managed to squeeze as much screen space as possible from the model: the edges around measure only 5.3 millimeters.
Attention has also been paid to minimizing the noise generated by the fan by using a proprietary fan model with thin blades. The on/off button also works as a fingerprint reader, so you no longer have to use a password and log in immediately when you switch on the laptop.
In terms of connections, the MateBook D15 wins: in addition to a headphone connection, we find 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.2 port and a USB connection. A full-fledged HDMI port is also part of the configuration. The MateBook D15 is therefore perfectly suitable as a replacement for a possible desktop PC. Count on a weight of about 1.56 kg.
