MateBook X Pro: Huawei attempts to out-Pro Apple's MacBook Pro

New machine has a 14in screen squeezed into a 12in laptop frame, a discrete GPU and a camera that pops up from beneath the keyboard

Following Huawei's attempts to directly challenge the dominant smartphone players Samsung and Apple, now the Chinese technology firm is going after laptops with the MateBook X Pro, attempting to out-"Pro" the MacBook Pro.

The new thin and light laptop follows on from Huawei's MateBook X from 2017, released in 2017 and looks strikingly familiar to Apple's top-of-the-line notebook, with an aluminium body that's available in silver or "space grey" - just like the MacBook Pro - a chiclet keyboard and large trackpad.
