Pros and Cons

Huawei MateBook D 16

Strengths

The build quality is very good, with a solid construction and minimal flex in the lid.
The keyboard is backlit and has a great typing experience, making it perfect for long writing sessions or video editing work.
The touchpad is great, with accurate tracking and a smooth surface.
The screen is really good, with vivid colors and deep blacks that make it ideal for watching movies or browsing the web.
The webcam is very good, with clear and detailed images that are comparable to more expensive laptops like the MateBook X Pro series.
The microphones are also very good, picking up even the slightest sounds and making them sound crisp and clear.
The battery life is decent, lasting for 6 hours and 55 minutes on a single charge under light usage.

Weaknesses

The laptop doesn't have Thunderbolt 4, which might be a deal-breaker for some users who rely on this feature for their workflow.
It uses last-gen hardware components, such as DDR4 RAM and a PCIe 3.0 SSD, which might not be ideal for demanding tasks like video editing or gaming.
The laptop throttles when pushed to its limits in Performance mode, resulting in reduced performance due to thermal issues.
The fan noise is noticeable under full load, which might be distracting for some users who prefer silence while working.
There were issues with the touchpad drivers running Linux on the MateBook D 16, which might be a problem for users who want to dual-boot their laptop.
The battery life takes a hit when running demanding tasks or gaming, reducing the overall lifespan of the battery.
Older titles like Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2 will still run smoothly, but more demanding games might not perform as well due to the Intel Iris Xe graphics.

Lenovo Yoga Duet 7

Strengths

The Yoga Duet's metal body feels incredibly sturdy and high quality.
The 13 inch display has a 16 by 10 aspect ratio, resolution of 2160 by 1350, resulting in 196 pixels per inch, cutters on the screen look vibrant and to life thanks to its 100 percent sRGB color gamut.
The keyboard cover attaches reasonably strongly to the tablet when put together, the attraction is strong once connected, they won't be easily broken apart.
Editing videos in PowerDirector is generally smooth, filters and animations didn't take long to get applied to all layers of clips
The computer features a PCIe NVMe SSD, resulting in quite decent read and write speeds
The system didn't slow down even when opening a dozen webpages in Chrome, it also has no problem streaming 4k YouTube videos.

Weaknesses

There's no fingerprint reader on board.
The keyboard cover won't tilt up for more comfortable typing angle like the Surface Type Cover does.
The pen supports 4096 levels of pressure but there's a slight amount of latency which makes it feel less instantaneous than the Apple Pencil.
Some 3D games and big applications may suffer from the single-channel memory configuration, although this won't be noticeable for most users.
Fortnite was generally smooth in 720p but Conqueror's Blade didn't feel smooth at all even at 720p with no settings.
The battery life is not great, it gives about five to six hours of screen time in mixed usage.
