Out of the two, MateBook 13 is a premium notebook that is clearly aimed to take on Apple MacBook Air. It sits in between the MacBook X and MateBook D. Huawei claims the MateBook 13 is 6 per cent smaller than the new MacBook Air. The notebook also trounces the MacBook Air with the 88 per cent screen-to-body ratio, and it has got a touchscreen display with a resolution of 2,160×1080.

On the inside, the MateBook 13 is powered by the 8th generation Intel Core i7 or Core i5 processor. The Core i5 model comes with options for a 256GB SSD drive and the Core i7 model comes with Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics. All variants come with 8GB RAM.

Connectivity options include a 3.5mm headphone jack, two USB Type-C ports, a 1MP web camera, and a fingerprint scanner embedded into a power button. Battery life is promised to be 9.6 hours on the variant with discrete graphics and 10 hours on a model with integrated graphics. The MateBook 13 starts at $999 (or approx Rs 70,035) for the base model.

It is backed by a 7,500mAh battery. The tablet also supports a stylus. The stylus is sold separately, however. It will hit the US market at the end of January at $299 (or approx Rs 20,958).
