| HUAWEI MateBook Pro S Sets New Ultra-Light Laptop Benchmark at 798g |
Weighing just 798g and measuring a mere 11.9mm thin, the HUAWEI MateBook Pro S isn't just another laptop—it's a statement. When I first picked it up, I honestly had to double-check I wasn't holding a tablet. But this featherlight device packs some serious punch, and after spending some time with it, I'm genuinely impressed by what Huawei has accomplished.
The Feel Factor: More Than Just Lightweight
Let's talk about that texture first, because it's something you really need to experience. The industry-first micro-velvet tactile finish gives the laptop a soft, premium feel that's surprisingly comfortable to hold. Available in Yellow, Purple, White, Grey, and Black, each variant features that signature Skyline design with 4-axis CNC precision bodywork. It's the kind of device that turns heads in a coffee shop—and yes, I tested that theory.
How Did They Make It So Light?
The engineering behind this weight reduction is genuinely fascinating. Huawei's Cloud Falcon Architecture debuts the industry's lightest structural metal—magnesium-lithium alloy—combined with a vacuum sputtering process that resists corrosion while maintaining low impedance. They've also pioneered a 10% high-silicon battery that delivers higher energy density at a lighter weight. Smart stuff.
Performance That Surprises
Under the hood, the Kirin XE90 processor delivers major leaps in single-core performance and energy efficiency. Paired with HarmonyOS and the Ark Engine, everyday tasks from launching large files to crunching spreadsheets feel snappy. The cooling system supports up to 20W of performance release, which is impressive for a device this thin.
The Display That Respects Your Privacy
Here's where things get really interesting. The 3.1K flexible OLED Lingdun privacy display offers 264 PPI with a 3:2 aspect ratio—that's 18.5% more content than standard 16:9 panels. But the killer feature? A dedicated side switch that toggles between Share and Privacy modes.
The proprietary "one-zone dual-pixel" architecture means you don't sacrifice resolution or color accuracy for privacy. No more "more privacy, more blur" compromise. And with intelligent sensing that detects someone behind you, the display literally prompts you to enable privacy protection. Clear from the front, protected from the side—exactly how it should be.
Brightness hits 1000 nits full-screen and 1600 nits local peak, with AI-HDR enhancement converting SDR content to HDR in real time. Netflix never looked better.
Celia Tasks: Your New Productivity Partner
This is where I think Huawei is really pushing boundaries. Celia evolves from a conversational assistant into an actual productivity partner that handles complex workflows—generating reports, building webpages with zero code, controlling browsers, and coordinating across devices. You just state your goal, and Celia autonomously breaks down the task, plans steps, calls the right tools, and delivers ready-to-use results. It's like having a junior assistant who actually gets things done.
Connectivity and Battery Life That Defy Expectations
The 3D six-microphone array with AI audio algorithms captures clear voice up to 10 meters away. The AI Simultaneous Voice Separation technology (used with Celia Notes) intelligently identifies differences in timbre, frequency, and spatial position—accurately separating overlapping two-person conversations even when people talk over each other. It transcribes each voice stream independently, completely, and precisely.
Signal performance sets a new benchmark too. The four-antenna design delivers true 360° omnidirectional coverage with Huawei Wi-Fi 7+ protocol. In open environments, it maintains stable connections at distances up to 1,000 meters.
Battery life? Up to 18 hours of 1080P online video playback and 13 hours of voice conferencing. That's all-day productivity without hunting for an outlet.

The Bottom Line
The HUAWEI MateBook Pro S proves that ultra-slim design doesn't have to compromise performance, battery life, security, or reliability. It combines extreme craftsmanship with HarmonyOS intelligence in a package that's genuinely exciting to use. Whether you're a frequent traveler, a creative professional, or just someone who appreciates beautiful technology that actually works, this laptop deserves your attention.
Huawei has once again pushed the boundaries of what's possible in laptop design, and I suspect we'll be seeing competitors scrambling to catch up. For now, the MateBook Pro S stands alone at the intersection of featherlight portability and serious computing power.
