Huawei today presented its first folding laptop, the Huawei Matebook Fold Ultimate Design; It is an important device not only for the flexible screen that it uses, but also because it is the laptop that opens the new version of Harmonyos for computers, replacing Windows 11.
It should be clarified that Huawei Matebook Fold is not the first folding laptop we have seen; Other manufacturers such as Asus and Lenovo have already launched similar devices, such as the striking Asus Zenbook 17 fold. However, the Huawei device presumes several advances, especially with regard to construction and the screen.
And it is that the killbook fold has a weight of just 1.16 kg and has a thickness of only 7.3 mm When it is completely open; Those are data that destroy any other similar device. In fact, promotional images and videos published by Huawei show a device more similar to a tablet than to a computer, both by design and thickness.
However, this is a laptop for the form factor, with a Proportion 3: 2 When it is open halfway which is similar to that of many current computers, such as the laptop surface. When it is completely open, the screen proportion is 4: 3, and therefore maintains that almost square shape.
The Matebook Fold screen has an 18 -inch size, and is the true device star, being based on a pioneer Double Capa Old Panel Able to reach a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits, something unheard of in a laptop. This device is designed for both productivity and creators or to enjoy content, thanks to the 3.3K resolution, HDR VIVID compatibility and color range support P3.

Obviously, durability is one of the biggest concerns with a device like this. Huawei states that he has taken several measures to improve the resistance of the branch fold and his screen, starting with a carbon fiber support For the panel that improves resistance 3 times. The hinge used in the Matebook Fold is the largest in the market, with a measure of 285 mm and an improvement in the load resistance of 100%. The hinge can be opened in three stages, to obtain different forms (for example, to use the device as a traditional laptop).
However, what can really surprise many people is that This computer does not use Windows 11. It is a change that most manufacturers have preferred not to do, since Windows remains the operating system for dominant computers in the market and the preferred consumers. But Huawei has been forced to stop using Windows 11 in its laptops, for the simple reason that the keys they bought before the commercial blockade imposed by the US government have ended.

Hence the importance of this launch. Huawei Matebook Fold Ultimate Design has not only to show that Huawei is up to the ‘hardware’, something we already knew; You also have to demonstrate that it is up to the ‘software’.
The rest of the Matebook range models will also make the leap to Harmonyos, which has been adapted to a larger screen size with A lower bar that will be familiar to any Windows and Macos useras well as with multitasking functions. The novelties include new preinstalled apps, such as WPS Office for office and alternative to Microsoft Office; This system is fully compatible with the Huawei ecosystem, including App Gallery apps and developer tools are included.

Of course, that also means that users who already have a smartphone and a Huawei tablet will have access to additional advantages, such as Copy and paste text between devices and new collaborative functions between different devices. Huawei has created its own platform, and it is expected that this is the strong point of its laptops from now on.
Huawei Matebook Fold has a price of 23,999 yuan, approximately 2,950 euros to the current change, with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage; Therefore, it is a ‘premium’ device, although it is just what was expected. Its launch in Spain has not been confirmed by the company.
