The IPS display of the MateBook D 15 has a native resolution of 1920x1080. The screen is at its brightest in the centre (271 cd/m²). The screen brightness does not change when running on battery power. The screen of the MateBook D 15 is not as bright as that of the D 14. However, the D 15’s display does not utilise PWM for brightness control. All in all, the images look rather cool and the colours appear somewhat washed-out. Users will be able to work on this screen for long periods of time without experiencing any eye-strain. In this age of ultrabooks, ultraportables, 2-in-1 convertibles, hybrid gaming notebooks and tablets masquerading as laptops, is there much to be said for a traditional bog-standard laptop? The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39.3 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook. Using a fingerprint to sign in to Windows 10 is a great feature, and the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) has the added bonus of including tech that reads your fingerprint when you press the power button. Your fingerprint is securely saved as the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) boots, and then used to log into Windows, so you don’t need to press it a second time. It’s a little thing, but it’s a nice touch and makes using the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) a much smoother experience.

HDWhile 8GB of RAM is the amount we’d like Windows 10 laptops to come with as a minimum, the 256GB SSD is a bit on the tight side – you may find yourself running out of disk space, especially if you have large collections of big files, such as videos and music. You can forget about games as well – there’s simply not enough space to install most modern titles, and the hardware of the Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) wouldn’t run them well anyway.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U comes with AMD Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, and while they can handle basic 2D gaming, anything more taxing is not going to run well.

However, if you want more storage (and that’s not out of the question, as 256GB is pretty low these days), then you’ll need to pay more and make do with a smaller screen. In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24.2 °C / 76 F, compared to the device average of 30.7 °C / 87 F. Meanwhile, the screen is too dim and washed out compared to other laptops at this price point, and the battery life of less than four hours for regular use is frankly disappointing. MacBooks also come with the Touch Bar: a thin OLED touchscreen that runs along the top of the keyboard and shows different buttons depending on the task you’re performing and the app you’re using. The Huawei MateBook D 15 (2020) has nothing like this – which is understandable for the price – but it does have a power button with a fingerprint sensor built-in.This feature is only supported by some types of files and apps in Huawei tablets that run HarmonyOS 2 or later, and some Huawei laptops that run PC Manager 12.0.2 or later.
