![]() If you want more connectivity, Huawei will sell you a MateDock 2 USB-C docking station with USB-A, HDMI, VGA and USB-C connections for £49.99. All four ports support data, charging and DisplayPort, and Huawei also bundles a USB-C to USB-A adapter. There's a decent array of ports: two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports on the left side, along with a 3.5mm audio in/out jack, and two USB-C ports on the right. There's also NFC support, with a detection area in the middle of the touchpad, to support Huawei's Super Device system for sharing screens and files with other compatible Huawei devices. Wireless communication is handled by Intel's Wi-Fi 6E AX211 module, which supports the latest tri-band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz) Wi-Fi 6E standard along with Bluetooth 5.2. There are no purchase-time options, although the baseplate is removable, giving access to the SSD if 1TB isn't enough. The GPU is Intel's Iris Xe Graphics – you're out of luck as far as discrete graphics is concerned. The MateBook X Pro (2022) is based on Intel's 12th-generation Core i7-1260P, a 12-core (4 Performance, 8 Efficient) chip, with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. The panel also supports sRGB, which is more appropriate for content requiring less vibrant colour, and a Native mode that uses less power. The contrast ratio is 1500:1 and 1.07 billion colours (10-bit colour) are available if you select the DCI-P3 colour gamut and turn on HDR mode. It has a 3:2 aspect ratio with a resolution of 3120 by 2080 pixels (264ppi), maximum brightness of 500 nits and a default refresh rate of 60Hz, which you can bump up to 90Hz in Settings to get smoother scrolling and animation. The MateBook X Pro (2022) may not have an OLED display like this year's 12.6-inch MateBook E 2-in-1, but its 14.2-inch LTPS touch screen is no slouch. Images: Charles McLellan / ZDNET Features Although there's no mention of military-grade ruggedness in the specifications, the magnesium alloy chassis feels solid and there's little flex in the lid, keyboard or wrist rest. Thanks to the increase in screen size, it's larger than the 2021 model - 310mm x 221mm x 15.6mm versus 304mm x 217mm tall x 14.6mm - but it's also lighter at 1.26kg versus 1.33kg. The MateBook X Pro (2022) comes in just one colour in the UK - a smart, distinctly HP Dragonfly-like Ink Blue – although it's also available in White and Space Gray elsewhere. Despite having a larger 14.2-inch screen than its 13.9-inch 2021 predecessor, the 2022 MateBook X Pro remains a thin, light and elegant ultraportable that can go head to head with the best of the competition. Unveiled at MWC back in February, Huawei's flagship MateBook X Pro (2022), now based on 12th-generation Intel Core silicon, is available in the UK for £1,799 (~$2,000) - a premium price that's somewhat tempered by the bundling (at the time of writing) of a free 28-inch MateView monitor worth £600.
