    3. I got my Huawei Matebook X Pro a few days ago and really like it. Here is a mini review from a macbook air perspective and let me know any questions.

      I purchased the Matebook X Pro for 1350 from Microsoft with the student discount.

      Build: It is a very sturdy laptop and fits perfectly in a backpack.

      Trackpad: It feels just like the MacBook Air.

      Keyboard: Great typing. Switches are very similar to the MacBook Air but their noise is lower pitched.

      Screen: The screen is great and I love the thin bezels.

      Software: No bloat besides the driver manager.

      Gaming: People underestimate the mx150. It runs pubg at a playable 40fps at mostly low and a few medium settings and fortnite at 60 FPS

      with medium settings. I would never use it a a primary gaming machine, but it would be very useful for lan party’s.

      Battery life: average

      Dislikes: It can get very loud when gaming.

      Overall, It feels like the spiritual successor to my MacBook Air in design and size. It has a fantastic display and build quality and it is priced competitively. If you are willing to pay a premium for build quality and portability then I would definitely get this laptop.

      I have never done a Reddit review before so ask any questions that I left out.
