Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 review
The Huawei Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 ranks as the #367 laptops globally, achieving a LibraScore of 74. Across all metrics, this product stands out most for its #84-ranked features among 435 laptops. Consider the HP EliteBook 860 G9 or HP EliteBook 865 G10, which offer higher scores while staying in the same price range.
Is it Worth it?
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 is an impressive machine, but its value proposition hinges on the potential upgrade to a 12th Gen chipset and the addition of a Type-A port. With its 11th Gen processor, competitive price point (14.99 euros), and exceptional build quality, keyboard, touchpad, and display, it's a solid choice for business users. However, those seeking the latest and greatest tech may find this iteration lacking. Ultimately, whether or not the MateBook X Pro is worth it depends on individual priorities, but its strengths make it a compelling option in a crowded market.
Build
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 boasts an exceptional build quality that's simply superb. Weighing in at 1.4 kilos, it feels sturdy and well-constructed. The touchpad is one of the best I've ever used, offering excellent feedback and a smooth experience. The keyboard provides 1.5mm of travel and good key feedback. The screen is fantastic, with good color accuracy and coverage. Slim bezels add to its sleek design. While the webcam might be lacking in quality, the built-in microphones are surprisingly good. Overall, the build quality is top-notch, making this laptop a joy to use. For a superior build, Huawei MateBook 14s could be the right choice.
Display
The display on the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 is a highlight of this device. It boasts a stunning 13.4-inch touchscreen with a resolution of up to 500 nits, providing excellent color accuracy and coverage. The bezels are remarkably slim, making it ideal for professional use. While the webcam could be improved, the display itself is top-notch, delivering crisp visuals and vibrant colors. Overall, the MateBook X Pro's screen is a significant upgrade over its predecessors and makes this device a compelling choice for those who value a high-quality visual experience. A better alternative might be Huawei MateBook 14s, featuring a next-level display.
Performance
The performance of the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 is impressive. Powered by an Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor, this laptop delivers seamless multitasking and demanding tasks with ease. The system's power limit can be pushed up to 64W, resulting in sustained high-performance even under heavy load. This enables users to run multiple resource-intensive applications simultaneously without experiencing significant slowdowns. Additionally, the laptop's cooling system efficiently manages temperatures, ensuring a stable performance during extended usage periods. Overall, the MateBook X Pro 2022's performance is more than capable of meeting the demands of professionals and power users alike. You may find Huawei MateBook 14s a better fit, thanks to its superior performance.
Battery and Charging
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022's battery life is decent but not impressive, lasting around 7 hours and 30 minutes with light tasks. However, the charger is small and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. The laptop also supports supercharge on other Huawei devices, allowing you to charge your mobile phone and this device at the same time. Unfortunately, the battery size of 60Wh is a drawback, but the charging speed makes up for it. Overall, the battery performance is average, but not outstanding in its class.
Connectivity
The Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022 boasts four Type-C ports, supporting video out, data, and charging, but lacks a Type-A port, requiring a dongle for USB pen drives. This omission is surprising given the Matebook 14s' inclusion of a Type-A port at a lower price point. Huawei MateBook X Pro 2023 might be a smarter choice, offering an upgraded connectivity.

The laptop also features a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, and four Type-C ports that support 4K video output, data transfer, and charging. Additionally, it has a 60Wh battery, USB-A port would have been handy, and speakers with Huawei sound technology. For an improved features, Huawei MateBook X Pro 2023 is worth considering.
