We were able to evaluate the Huawei MateBook D 14 W50F with an Intel Core i5-8265U in November 2018. Not only did it deliver a decent system performance, but it was also able to score good points in terms of its design. On the other hand, the display and the connection equipment had to accept some complaints, which might also be the case in our current test model.

Huawei leaves the exterior unchanged and now offers buyers the MateBook D with an AMD Ryzen 5-2500U APU. The integrated Radeon RX Vega-8 graphics unit is responsible for the display of image content, and 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD make up the storage equipment.

With this hardware, we not only compare the Huawei notebook with the Intel model, but also with other competing devices of a similar price and performance range. These include the Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-31N8, the Asus VivoBook 14, the HP ProBook 445 G6, and Lenovo's ThinkPad E485.
