Back in December, Huawei announced its new MateBook D with a 14-inch display. At the time, it was exclusive to China, but in June, the company introduced the device in the U.S. with AMD Ryzen processors. Now, the Intel-powered model is available in the United States.
The two CPU selections are a Core i5-8250U and Core i7-8550U, both of which are 15W quad-core chips. Unlike with the MateBook X Pro, both of them come with discrete graphics (instead of only the i7 model) in the form of an Nvidia GeForce MX150. They both have 8GB LPDDR3 RAM, and the i5 model has a 256GB SSD while the i7 variant comes with 512GB of onboard storage.
As far as ports go, you'll get one USB 2.0 Type-A, one USB 3.0 Type-A, one USB Type-C, HDMI, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. The 14-inch display comes in at 1080p with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the device is just 0.62 inches thick.
You can pick up the Core i5 model from Amazon, Newegg, and B&H for $999, and you can grab the Core i7 model from Microsoft for $1,099.
