Huawei is gearing up to introduce the Huawei MateBook D 16 and MateBook 16s with 12th-generation Intel processors in Europe. As usual, these laptops were launched in China first. However, Huawei plans to introduce them in Europe soon. It’s much easier for the company to make relevant laptops for Europe than smartphones. Anyway, new devices are still coming. The laptops run Windows 11 while the smartphones are running Google-less smartphones, and European customers are still reluctant to do that. Anyway, let’s focus on the two new products.
The two laptops were recently “showcased” at an event in Istanbul, Turkey. They were joined by the foldable flagship Huawei Mate Xs 2, and the new Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 smartphones. The company also demoed its 10.3-inch e-ink tablet, the Huawei MatePad Paper, which was also demoed at the event. We don’t know if all these products will reach the European market, but the two new laptops certainly will.

The Huawei MateBook D 16 flaunts a large 16-inch IPS LCD with 1,920 x 1,200 pixels of resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The image quality is impressive and brings 100 percent sRGB coverage, a 1,200:1 contrast ratio, and 300 nits of brightness.
