- Huawei unveiled its new Laptop Ultimate Design of Matebook Fold during Computex 2025
- It has an 18 -inch OLED screen and a new foldable mechanism to compete with competitors
- It is only available in China now, but could come to the world markets soon
Calpex 2025 is there, and it was only a matter of time until one of the enormous technological companies of the exhibition revealed a new device which puts the design of laptops to the upper level – and it can be worth keeping an eye.
On its website (translated from Chinese), Huawei announced that the new Matebook Fold’s ultimate design laptop, with an 18 -inch OLED 3K display (when extended) operating on Harmony OS 5.
Essentially, this means that instead of what would be two connected screens via ordinary ordinary hinges, it is a “ water hinge ” which allows it to open and closely close, and to lie down completely flat for an 18 -inch screen experience. This mechanism is undoubtedly a step above the new surface of Microsoft, which acts as a tablet but is also 2 in 1 when you use its keyboard (which is sold separately).
When in its laptop form, you will have a 13 -inch OLED screen at your disposal using its keyboard with touch screen (or the keyboard included in the package). However, the ultimate Matebook folding design looks more than a simple 2 in 1 laptop; You can transform it from an ordinary laptop into an 18 -inch portable screen for occasional visualization on the device in a few seconds.
The closure of the laptop gives it entirely a notebook design or intimate style, as if it were built as a disguise, distinguishing it more in terms of the design of the competitors. To add a cherry to the top, it has 1,600 peak brightness nits and a 74.69WHR battery – and the two features could easily be major sales arguments.
According to a reliable technological analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, Huawei plans a production objective for the Matebook fold between 180,000 and 200,000 units, and its life cycle will mainly depend on user comments concerning the functionality of the software.
This is an important factor to note, because the Matebook fold is by no means a cheap laptop. It is currently only available in China, from ¥ 23,999, which converts to around $ 3,330 / £ 2490 $ 5 200 to, but its new features will be difficult to refuse if you can afford it.
Analysis: if it is the future of the design of laptops, I’m here for that
I played a lot of futuristic games like Cyberpunk 2077 and saw enough films like Impossible mission To suggest that the new Huawei laptop could change the situation. It is not like other societies, like Asus, have not introduced similar devices – the difference is that none of them use the “water hinge” mechanism that Huawei has introduced.
This simply makes the Asus Zenbook duo and the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i look like clumsy configurations, which require a stand to stay straight and plot for both screens. The Matebook Fold is the first laptop laptop that I saw who drew my attention – if only I could afford it.
The only drawback here is that he will probably cost you thousands of dollars if he ends up getting into the world. However, if it sells well enough and wins the traction I expected, we could easily see the competitors of Huawei and others soon follow the step – and that’s exactly what I hope.
