FRESH graduates entering the job market would need a good and powerful notebook to help them with whatever jobs that they are going to do, and the new HUAWEI MateBook 13 is one of the best machines to have. Here’s a perspective of a fresh grad using the notebook.
THE work life after you graduated from university will be a tough one, and as soon as you start to enter society and the fast-paced work environment, you’ll need a good and reliable notebook computer.
As for me I know that the work environment will be a fast-paced one, hence the need for a machine that can handle whatever tasks given to me.
So in order to be more efficient at work, I have decided to buy the new HUAWEI MateBook 13.
The HUAWEI MateBook 13 is a mobile wonder and after using it for a while, I found that the computer brought value to my work. If you are looking to purchase a laptop and considering the HUAWEI MateBook 13, I hope my actual experience in using this laptop will help you. Read on to learn about my actual user experience.
Easy collaboration
One of the best and innovative features of the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is its Huawei One Touch + Multi-Screen Collaboration function, which allows me to easily transfer content more efficiently Often, on my way to client meetings, I will always use the mobile version of Word to record ideas and items that need to be mentioned during the meetings.
Then, when I arrive to the client’s meeting room, I will transfer those notes back to my laptop. Sometimes I will run into an awkward situation where I will not be able to connect to the client’s meeting room Wi-Fi and will then have to turn on my mobile hotspot to transfer those notes, which is really troublesome.
However, with the HUAWEI MateBook 13, I can now say goodbye to this awkward situation. This is because HUAWEI MateBook 13 supports HUAWEI’s One Tap to Share function that removes the barrier between smartphones and computers, enabling files to be transferred across both platforms without the need for data line or network.
With just a touch to the computer with the phone, files on the phone will be able to be transferred onto the laptop. This is not just convenient and efficient, but also saves a lot of time compared to utilising file assistant. After my meetings, I can also easily transfer the meeting minutes organised by the computer to my phone and continue to edit the content while on the road.
Besides that, I would also utilise the HUAWEI One Tap to Share function to transfer photos I took while on the go to be used as presentation materials.
I can also utilise this function to transfer the photo I took of the content written on the conference room board to my HUAWEI MateBook 13 so that I can arrange my notes. This method is convenient and simple. Compared to my previous laptop, I will need to enable my hotspot, and then transfer the files. Sometimes, I will be in an embarrassing situation where I am unable to connect to the network – leading to lower efficiency.
It is also worth noting that starting from Nov 30, 2019, HUAWEI MateBook 13 had started to upgrade its computer organiser and related operation. After the upgrade, HUAWEI MateBook13 now supports multi-screen collaboration.
With this function, HUAWEI mobile phones will be able to mirror your smartphone on the HUAWEI MateBook 13, and this one notebook can now complete the tasks of two devices, which can greatly improve the efficiency of your work and studies.
For example, when editing a document or a PowerPoint presentation, you can drag and drop the pictures from the phone album directly into the document.
On top of that, you can even use the HUAWEI MateBook 13 to play TikTok videos while ordering online food delivery. This feature has allowed me to avoid a lot of tedious office operations and help to improve efficiency.
Refined design that allows you to confidently carry along when meeting client
My work requires me to often go out with my manager for client meetings. My manager puts a lot of importance on being able to show up at client meetings with a great first impression, and naturally I will put a lot of effort into it.
Shortly after being in the job, I bought two suitable attire for business meetings. In addition to the clothing, the notebook also plays a crucial role in enabling us to show up with a good first impression. Therefore, the design of the laptop is also one of the aspects I look at when deciding on my purchase.
In terms of design, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 has attracted my attention as it uses metallic chassis that retains the original colour of metal and it has a diamond-cut finish on each corner. It is minimalistic, simple, stylish, and full of elegance.
Besides that, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 screen is even more stunning. With a full-screen design, the left and right bezels are only 4.4mm, and the screen ratio reaches 88 percent. Whether you are looking through photos or watching movies, the visual experience is extremely good.
Another reason to buy the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is that it is lightweight and convenient.
As I often go out for client meetings, a slim lightweight laptop is a must-have. My previous laptop was particularly heavy, and it was very painful during commute, but the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is only 1.3kg, very lightweight, and not burdensome to travel with.
Strong performance, say goodbye to lagging and never get frustrated while working
The workplace is like a battlefield, being efficient is necessary. When I first started my job, I used the laptop I bought as a freshman. It is hard to describe the performance of that laptop. It lagged when I utilised it to work on some files, which brought a lot of inconvenience to complete my work.
However, with the HUAWEI MateBook 13, there wasn’t any problem and it ran smoothly.
This breakthrough performance is attributed to the fact that HUAWEI MateBook 13 uses Intel Core i5-8265U / i7-8565U processors, and the graphics card integrates NVIDIA GeForce MX250, TDP 25 Watt graphics cards. Moreover, the MateBook 13 is also featured with 8GB RAM and 512GB ROM, which give faster speed and bigger storage. With HUAWEI’s all-round holistic features, the performance of the Huawei MateBook 13 is very powerful.
During work, I tend to open PowerPoint document with hundred of documents to view, while also having Photoshop open to process photos, and the HUAWEI MateBook 13 handled these heavy operations with ease. This is not an exaggeration but the high performance of HUAWEI’s MateBook 13 has further improved my efficiency.
Long-life Battery plus fingerprint unlock, feel secure during your business trip
Business trips are also common for me. Previously, I was always worry about my laptop’s battery life dying during my business trips. Maybe because my old laptop battery was ageing, it often couldn’t last more than 2 hours and I couldn’t use it without the charger.
However, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 has given me a new sense of security.
When I put the HUAWEI MateBook 13 to the test: I took the HUAWEI MateBook 13 for a business trip and used it continuously during a 4-hour high-speed rail trip. I had PowerPoint running and watched movie continuously during the 4-hour trip and yet the battery level only dropped from 90 percent to 20 percent, keeping me powered-up longer.
Even when my colleague borrowed my laptop to finish urgent work because theirs went out of battery, I could see that the HUAWEI MateBook 13 still run as normal, proving that great endurance of machine.
Mobile phone and the HUAWEI MateBook 13 share one charger, providing all-time convenience
If the computer is out of battery, I won't have a sudden panic attack as the HUAWEI MateBook 13 comes with a 65W fast-charging USB-C port portable adapter, which can easily charge the laptop up to full again. It is worth mentioning that the standard 65W fast charge for HUAWEI MateBook 13 is also compatible with a variety of charging outputs, such as 20V / 3.25A, 15V / 3A, 12V / 2A, 9V / 2A, 5V / 2A, etc. This safe and fast charging mechanism allows me to bring one charging head every time I travel.
The HUAWEI MateBook 13 also has a very secure design – fingerprint/power button, two-in-one, every time you turn on the laptop, you just need to place your index finger on top of the power button and you can immediately enter the main interface, without the need for your password. If my colleagues borrow my laptop, they will be surprised as they will not be able to turn on my computer. The HUAWEI Mate 13 fingerprint recognition feature is not only convenient, but also greatly guarantees the security of data.
As a fresh graduate in the workplace, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 was the best purchase decision. This device helped me to solve challenges I encountered during my work. If you are a user who values and places the appearance and performance of a laptop, then the HUAWEI MateBook 13 will not disappoint you.
The HUAWEI MateBook 13 has a remarkable design, lightweight body, and packs power as well as performance.
The HUAWEI One Touch to Share and multi-screen collaboration function also greatly improve work efficiency. If you want to buy a great laptop, then the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is a choice that you won't regret.
