Huawei MateBook 16s (2022) – Best 16in

 Do you truly require a 16in PC? For the vast majority the response is a reverberating no. Be that as it may, for a chosen handful a versatile force to be reckoned with a big screen is a gift from heaven - and Huawei plainly concurs, deciding to send off two of them simultaneously to the European market.


The MateBook 16s is the more premium of the pair (however the reasonable MateBook D16 is an expert, taking everything into account), focusing on visual fashioners, video editors, and different clients with weighty expert or innovative jobs.


The enormous proviso is that there's no choice to get the 16s with a discrete GPU, and Huawei is rather counts on the mix of Intel's strong twelfth gen H-series CPUs, Thunderbolt 4 help, and a great 2.5K presentation to convince creatives that the MateBook 16s is capable.


Plan and assemble

Thin (for a 16in gadget)

Still weighty at practically 2kg/4.4lbs

Just accessible in dark

Huawei has settled easily into a steady plan language for its MateBook workstations, and the 16s does practically nothing to mess everything up.

Like a large portion of the organization's gadgets this PC just comes in Space Gray, and the controlled plan is basic and expert. To say the least you could consider it somewhat dull, however this positively is definitely not an ugly piece of pack, from the spotless, symmetric lines of the body to the thin bezel around the broad presentation.


This is a 16in PC, and essentially that implies it's large. Huawei has given its all to limit that, and kept the PC adequately smooth to procure Intel Evo certificate. In any case, it's 17.8mm thick and weighs 1.99kg, which isn't exactly ultrabook domain.


This is probably essentially as compact as a PC this size gets - the incredibly light LG Gram 16 is the main remarkable exemption, and the MacBook Pro 16 is heavier - yet you'll see the weight when you slide it into your rucksack.


Show and sound

Enormous 16in 2.5K presentation

Square shaped 3:2 viewpoint proportion

Amazing variety alignment

The showcase is one of the MateBook 16s' assets, and a critical piece of Huawei's pitch that the PC can convey for creatives.

The size is a certain something, yet it likewise flaunts a high 2.5K goal (2520×1680, to be exact) in the undeniably famous 3:2 viewpoint proportion. This boxier shape gives you additional upward screen bequest to work with, and is upgraded for efficiency, permitting you to fit to a greater degree a report on-screen immediately or alter photographs and recordings with less letterboxing - however the reverse is valid for watching content, where you'll quite often have dark bars above and underneath anything you're streaming.


Variety alignment is great, however not exactly awesome around. Testing with a SpyderX Elite, I recorded inclusion of 96% of the sRGB range, 73% of AdobeRGB, and 72% of DCI-P3. The board is let down a little with regards to brilliance however, cresting at 330 nits in my tests, which will be a specific constraint with regards to HDR.


The bezel around the presentation is thin for a PC this size - 7.3mm at the thickest point - with a 90% screen-to-body proportion. That is not too thin to even consider pressing in a webcam however - for this situation a 2Mp, 1080p camera. That is a positive edge in a market actually overwhelmed by 720p sensors, making this one of the better PCs around for video calls and such.
