Doha: Huawei Consumer Business Group (CBG) launched a series of devices to fit students in different learning stages to boost their education. The new Huawei MateBook D16 is a high-performance lightweight laptop with a 16-inch vast display.

This new member does not only carry the MateBook series’ signature elements in aesthetics, innovation, and smart experiences, but also brings numerous advancements, including a brand-new eye-comfort Huawei FullView Display, the high-performance 12th Gen Intel Core H-Series Processor, a light metallic body, as well as cross-device collaborative experience. The new Huawei MateBook D16 has transformed into a reliable companion for the hybrid education era as it unleashes students’ creative power.

The Huawei MateBook D16 is powered by the 12th Gen Intel Core H-Series Processor that runs on up to -i7-12700H, a TDP of up to 40W, dual channel RAM and a high-speed solid-state drive, which handles multi-tasking and complex usage scenarios flawlessly and efficiently, such as data analysis, code compilation, opening multiple webpages, charts, or PowerPoints.

Despite this high performance, users can be sure the laptop won’t overheat even when tackling intensive tasks, thanks to the Huawei Shark fin Fan cooling system. Allowing users to freely switch between Standard Mode and Performance Mode, the Huawei MateBook D16 unleashes its full potential to meet the various needs of heavy school workload and content creation.

Thanks to the innovative Huawei Metaline Antenna technology, this new laptop allows users to enjoy stable wireless networks. Even under weak Wi-Fi signals, the downloading speed is increased by 55 percent, while the lag in gaming and video conference is decreased by 57 percent and 67 percent respectively.

Also, unusually for a lightweight laptop, the Huawei MateBook D16 has 1.5mm key travel and soft landing design – inspired by space probes – to make all-day typing easy. The new individual numeric keypad enables users to work with charts, data, and documents more efficiently, while the physical shortcut keys allow direct access of frequently used functions for higher productivity. Huawei MateBook D16 has high portability thanks to its light metallic body of weighing similar as a 15.6-inch laptop at just 1.7kg.

The Huawei MateBook D16 is available in Qatar at QR3,299 from Huawei’s online platforms as well as certified retailers.

The Huawei MatePad Pro features an 11-inch OLED Huawei FullView Display with 4.2 mm ultra-narrow bezels, achieving a 92 percent screen-to-body ratio. It supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, offering a smoother visual experience and a 10-bit colour depth that can display 1.07 billion colours.

To improve online meetings, Huawei upgraded its self-developed AI noise cancellation feature once again and optimised algorithms that tap into the Deep Neural Network. The optimised neural network algorithm can reduce the residual noise after noise reduction while lowering the impact of noises on vocals.

To further improve the tablet’s productivity features, Huawei has launched a new detachable Smart Magnetic Keyboard, which supports three modes: laptop form, detachable form, and studio form. The new Huawei M-Pencil (2nd generation) retains the excellent hardware capabilities of its predecessor while comprehensively upgrading its appearance, materials, and writing experience. When used with Huawei MatePad Pro, the latency is as low as 2 ms.

Huawei MatePad Pro allows users to access Huawei’s native apps, in landscape mode. The Multi-window has been upgraded to support one-tap interaction.

The trusted, innovative, user-friendly and secure AppGallery is available on Huawei MatePad Pro, where users can easily navigate, explore, find and download a wide range of high-quality apps.

Huawei MatePad Pro achieves the perfect balance between device thickness and battery life. Thanks to Huawei’s excellent architecture and stacking capabilities, the tablet manages to pack an 8300mAh ultra-large battery in its ultra-thin and compact body.

The Huawei MatePad Pro will be available in Qatar for pre-orders starting on Thursday at QR2,299 for 128gb from Huawei’s online platforms as well as certified retailers. Huawei offers a range of tablets starting from QR489 for T8 with Huawei MatePad T8 that are suitable for students from different age groups.
