I got the I7/512g version, and immediately installed Ubuntu 18.04 on the machine. Unlike what some others have reported, I have had no issue running Linux on the machine. I have seen several laptops that have sleeping issues with Linux, but either they got fixed or they don't exist on this machine. I gave the machine a 50/50 Windows/Linux split, although I don't really anticipate running it with Windows much, and may shrink the windows partition at some point.
The good, the bad, the ugly
As some have mentioned, the "all usb-c" thing can be a bit annoying. Not sure how it makes this notebook a "clean" notebook if you have to carry a bunch of adapters in tow. The stock "dock" they provided with the machine does most things I needed with the addition of a pretty simple USB hub. I'd be tempted on this machine to "go all bluetooth", and in fact did get a headset and a mouse using straight bluetooth for the machine. However, this was mainly for travel convenience and the ability to work with the machine on my lap from bed. At work I needed to get hardware ethernet, but that was a simple adapter to go from usb-c to ethernet.
I got the matedock to go with the machine. This does pretty much what the "stock dock" did but didn't need an extra ethernet adapter. My only issues with this arrangement is the matedock is pretty low on I/O expansion, and *I really don't get* the power feedthrough thing. In short, the matedock is very clever, very portable, and I am looking to find a good and heavy dock that includes power and lots of I/Os for my home desk.
For the notebook itself, its hard to find any issues. I don't understand why it has a "dead band" for mouse clicks at the top of the track pad, but other than this, it does the expected thing, with tracking, single finger clicks = button one, two finger clicks = button two, and two finger scrolling. As with all such laptop compressed keyboards, I miss the page up/down and home and end keys. Page up/down is easy to emulate, but home/end is not. I miss those keys, and also the middle mouse button, but I am working on restoring that capability via software cord keys.
The notebook is light, I have not got anywhere near running it out of power despite running lots of full kernel builds. It gets quite warm in the rear end, but other that this no big deal. The fan runs, but I have no issue with fan noise. It is quite low even when it is clearly pushing power.
It has a touch screen, but the way I like it. There is no attempt to make the machine convert to a tablet or anything like it. I personally find touch screen laptops useless, since a mouse is much more accurate than a finger, and I mostly edit things. You make me do that kind of work with a touch screen, and I am not your friend.
The display is amazing at 3000x2000 (not quite 4k resolution). Matching a second monitor to the machine in dual display mode is a problem, but only in Linux/Ubuntu because the scaling there is completely braindead, and there is a large discussion about how to fix it. The issue is that there is such a huge mismatch between the laptop resolution and the external monitor resolution that you need two different sets of scaling for each monitor. And Linux is apparently not good at doing this, not without lots of fiddlery. Running windows is no issue. Apparently Windows programmers stayed awake during that class.
In sum, what can I say? Not cheap, but great if you need Windows or Windows/linux. If not I would say get a Macbook Pro. With Windows or Linux, this is about as close to the famous Mac pro as you are going to get, and if you have used a Mac pro for any length of time you will understand what I mean. The pro was a highpoint in laptop design, and even apple seems to have trouble producing good follow-ons to that product.
If I had any suggestions for Huawei, it would be to embrace Linux and make a nice all-in-one dock with fixed power for desktop use.
Post script 9/28/2020
I have had this notebook for about 2 years now. I still like it. I changed out the SSD for a 2tb one from Samsung.
The BAD: about a year ago I spilled soda on the keyboard, only a couple teaspoons worth. It killed the keyboard. Leaving it to dry, washing it with alcohol, I even removed all the keycaps and washed it out with alcohol and dried it for days. The keyboard had about a dozen keys that would produce 2-3 odd characters when hit. It was completely unusable. I ran it for 6 months on external keyboard only.
Huawei wanted $160 to fix it. That is a reasonable price, but I would have had to send it to a central service location, I believe in Texas. I literally could not afford to be without the machine that long, since it is my work computer. Huawei would not help me with sending me a replacement keyboard. However, after disassembling it once, I was able to copy the part number off the keyboard and order a replacement off the Alibaba network (they have everything... its scary). It was $60.
I tore down the computer again, this time removing the keyboard. There were about 100 small screws holding it in. Not an exaggeration. Each key had a screw next to it. I reassembled it, crossed y fingers and... it came up. Its been fine ever since.
The moral of this story is: treat it like a fine watch and never drink anything near it. As I have heard of Macbooks, the keyboard is very thin and delicate, and won't survive liquids.
I was having some battery and performance issues with the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 so I returned it for credit. Rather than take another chance on another Microsoft device, I decided to apply all the credit towards this. This is the Huawei Matebook X Pro. I saw extremely good reviews on various tech sites, so I decided to bite the bullet. If the ergonomics bring MacBooks to mind, it’s because the company deliberately aped those laptops to a greater or lesser degree. There are some definite differences between Matebook and MacBook, aesthetics-wise, but that’s for another time.
Huawei is a tech company based out of China. They are primarily a cell phone company, but have released several tablets and a few laptops, all pretty high quality for a company trying to dip into the American markets. Before you go getting your panties in a wad about the quality, try to remember many devices, in fact a majority of them, are made in China. A $5000 MacBook is probably being assembled in China as we speak. Same with Dell, ASUS, etc. And quality from China isn’t the problem, it’s a lackluster quality control that’s the problem. Huawei seems to be one of the few trying to avoid those issues.
Now onto the device, itself. Fit and finish are tight, no loose touchpad, decent keyboard depth. Speaking of the keyboard, the webcam is hidden under one of the function keys and only deploys when you pull up on the key. Nice privacy feature but the angle is atrocious for Skype and such. Since I never use a webcam, it’s a complete non-issue for me. Port selection is x2 USB-C ports, one of which is a ThunderBolt port, and a USB-A 3.0 port. It might seem limited, but the Matebook comes with a dongle that sports outputs for HDMI and Ethernet. Ports aside, there is also a headphone jack.
Screen resolution is mind blowing at 3000X 2000 pixels. Described as 3K resolution since it’s a few pixels shy of 4K. It’s way better than Apple’s retina. And of course you can drop the resolution to conserve battery if you choose. Full HD resolution at 1920×1080 is good enough for most. It’s also a touchscreen, something Apple has stated over and over again that MacBooks will never have (all so they can get you to buy their iPads). It’s very receptive with 0 lag.
Hardware wise, this configuration lays out with the latest 8th generation intel Core I7 chip, 16GB LPDDR3 RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GPU with 2GB discrete RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. The I7 kicks up heat, some which is vented through the side speakers. If there’s any thermal throttling, I can always undervolt the CPU a tiny bit which will correct the issue without noticeable loss in performance. The 16GB of RAM great for multitasking, letting me keep open multiple tabs without any lag. The graphics card, well that’s a bit of a thing. See this particular GPU is an underclocked version, which is meant to preserve battery life and keep down the heat. So its only good for lite to moderate gaming, probably on medium settings. You won’t be kicking down doors on CoD. Still it helps with video rendering. As for the SSD, I haven’t had a chance to put it through any paces, but supposedly the read/write speeds are stupid fast.
Battery life should get me out to 9-10 hours. Not bad at all. If it’s long battery life you really want, the LG Gram supposedly can soldier on for almost 16 hours.
Upgrade and repairability wise, it’s limited though still better than current MacBooks and Surface products. CPU, GPU and RAM are all soldered to the motherboard so they are not replaceable. This is pretty common with ultrabook type devices. The battery and the SSD are able to be swapped out. There’s only one slot for the SSD so best to have It upgraded to a larger capacity by a professional who can transfer the data from your old card to the new (this includes Windows). Also have the battery replaced by a pro.
All in all it’s way better than the Surface Laptop, adequately priced for what it offers. There’s only two negatives:
1. The webcam has an angle that looks up your nose. It also makes your hands look huge. Not an issue for me, but maybe for some.
2. And this here is the biggie: Huawei has no physical presence in the United States. Any problems that can’t be fixed stateside will earn your device a round trip ticket to China. If the Matebook is a secondary device, it’s a small inconvenience, but if it’s your only device, you’ll be out in the cold for a couple of weeks. Don’t expect Geek Squad to help much.
#. Heat. It does get hot at times. Not enough to damage, but thermal throttling becomes an issue. I find better Performance vs Best Performance keeps it a little cooler, plus I'll use Throttlestop or Intel's chip managing software to undervolt the CPU and iGPU. That'll solve some heat problems and increase battery life.

Product ships from US though so comes with American plug, also unsure if this product is covered under Huawei warranty in Australia. Had buzzed the seller to enquire but disappointingly they never replied.
