by Huawei has updated its Matebook D 14 and Matebook D 15 laptops from last year. The newer versions have received more modern AMD Ryzen 4000 series APUs (codenamed Renoir), manufactured using 7nm process technology.
The devices are manufactured in a metal case. The hinges used allow the display to open 180 degrees. The MateBook D 14 features a 14-inch FullView IPS display with Full HD resolution.

The base configuration is a 6-core Ryzen 5 4500U processor that supports 6 instruction streams, operates at a nominal frequency of 2.3 GHz and is able to dynamically increase the frequency to 4.0 GHz. For more demanding users, a configuration with an 8-core Ryzen 7 4700U processor is available. It supports 8 instruction streams, runs at 2.0 GHz and can automatically overclock to 4.1 GHz.
