Huawei MateBook E Specifications and Features
In terms of its appearance, the MateBook E looks like a tablet that can be connected to an external keyboard and already supports a stylus.
For the screen, the Huawei MateBook E has a 12.6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and has fairly thin bezels.
In addition, there is an 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor embedded in the device so that users can perform various activities such as drawing, editing, or just browsing and typing.
Meanwhile, there is 16GB of RAM and a PCIe SSD of up to 512GB. Huawei also presents another variant with an Intel Core i5 11th Gen processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
