I do not recommend spending your money on this.

A good price / quality ratio allows us to call this laptop one of the best under 40k. For its price, it has almost no competitors. But it is a pity that it was ruined by one huge minus. I would like everything to be fixed in one of the next versions of the BIOS. I hope that I have described everything in sufficient detail. If you have any questions feel free to write in the comments.

Pros

The laptop is great. No, really cool. Why did I give only two points? Look for flaws. But first, let's talk about the pros. 1) Screen. It is 14 inches and almost bezel-less. Due to this, the engineers managed to fit it into the dimensions of 13.3 inch laptops. The screen itself has an optimal resolution of Full HD (1920x1080) and a good color reproduction equal to 70% sRGB, but of course I would like to have a color coverage of 100%. Despite this, the screen is decent and it's really nice to work behind it. 2) Performance. My version of the laptop is equipped with an r5 3500u processor, as well as 8GB of RAM (which works in dual-channel mode out of the box, you don’t have to buy another RAM bar). This bundle allows you to cope with the vast majority of tasks that can be assigned to an ultrabook. If you are buying a laptop for gaming or serious work, then this model will most likely not suit you. Vega 8, although it is a fairly productive solution, but for these purposes you need a discrete, not an integrated video card. 3) Weight and autonomy. The laptop weighs a little less than 1.4 kg, and also has a 56 Wh battery (It allows you to actively use the laptop in the region of 5-9 hours, depending on the intensity). Due to these characteristics, it can be easily taken with you on the road, to work or travel. The laptop also supports fast charging, in 30 minutes it can be charged by about 50%, the remaining 50% will be recharged a little slower. 4) Build quality. The laptop feels like a solid and well-built product. According to the materials, everything is also good, it is pleasant to touch any part of the laptop, especially the keyboard. I don’t know about the rest, but I came across a fairly successful laptop model. I did not find any light, dead pixels or other serious problems. The exception is the Caps key, it is a little crooked and about 15% of its area on the left does not respond to pressing. 5) Price. I bought for 34800 and it is definitely worth the money.

Cons

And now let's move on to the cons. 1) NOISE. This is the main disadvantage, because of which I gave the laptop 2 points. With absolutely any work, the cooler starts to spin and make noise. Due to a crooked BIOS, it starts working at about 37 - 40 degrees. There is simply no need for this. The processor at a load of 10-30% can easily work on passive cooling because the processor is very "cold". I don't understand why this was done. There are a huge number of complaints about this, both on our and foreign forums. If Huawei fixes this defect, then I will immediately change the review to 5 points, because for its price the laptop simply has no competitors. Its main problem is at the software level and it can be easily fixed, I hope the temperature limits are slightly shifted (or they will allow users to choose the cooler operation mode themselves). 2) Speakers. Perhaps they are the weakest of the computer components. More or less suitable for listening to videos, but the music on them sounds extremely weak. 3) Webcam. I don’t need it at all, so it’s very good that it is built into the button and can be easily removed. The quality and camera angle also leave much to be desired. 4) Touchpad. It is plastic and the finger does not slide very well on it. But in general, it is more than enough for gatherings in the browser. If you need to work, you have to use the mouse. Other than that, I haven't found any cons. Especially considering the cost of the laptop.
