      Huawei Matebook 13 review: A cheaper Matebook X Pro with killer performance

      This $1,299 laptop is stiff competition for Huawei's own $1,499 Matebook X Pro.

      Despite company turmoil, Huawei continues to go after a slice of the US laptop market. Following the release of the Matebook X Pro last year, the Chinese company debuted the Matebook 13 today. The thin-and-light notebook promises to be lighter on customers' wallets than last year's more premium model but still strong in design and specs.

        What do you think of these @scottalanmiller ? You willing to use them in your company?

          I don't know if Huawei makes it on the safe list.

          Their CFO was just requested to be extradited to the US for numerous crimes. . .

            Has there been any solid evidence again Huawei?

                    Hmm. One of corporate espionage the other was selling to Iran. Neither of which are similar to what Lenovo had done in the past. Both of them are serious allegations though.

                      Serious enough to warrant additional caution before purchasing. Because who honestly knows what else may be occurring that hasn't surfaced.

                        That's fair.

                          Seems like "our government doesn't like your government" kind of issues, rather than "our companies steals from your company" kinds of problems. It's all about the US beef with Iran, which is really a theater show of what the US is really concerned about. From the sounds of it, Lenovo affects Americans, Huawei affects corrupt government officials. So if you are just an American, it might not matter. If you trying to manipulate world politics for your own gain, then Huawei might not be so good for you.

                            Now we have a moral dilemma, Do you choose to support a company that appears to be breaking US law? Does what the law they are breaking really matter? I'm not sure that it should. We don't want to reward them for breaking the law period, right?

                            Granted it's US morals - clearly the Chinese morals are different - they don't care about copyright, etc.

                              Laws are different from ethics. It used to be legal to have slaves, that didn't make it moral to have slaves, right?

                              What the law says and what is ethical are unrelated. Sure, we wish that they were aligned, but they are not. In fact, it's a trivial argument to make that following the law blindly is itself unethical. We have an ethical responsibility that supercedes the law.

                              The law defines that for which you can be punished, ethics defines what is "good".

                                It's US laws. Not US morals. I think most Americans find the law unethical, or do so indirectly. Most don't understand how the law works, what it is for, how it impacts out peoples, etc.

                                  They got caught shipping malware in their products in the past, so it's not unreasonable to suspect them again.

                                      Oh I'm not saying it isn't reasonable or that they aren't doing something bad. It's more that we just don't know at this point and the two cases are pretty different. But sure, they might end up being pretty awful.

                                            Ah, well for those curious, the big new thing, aside from the rebranding, is that you get full Veeam functionality for up to 10 VMs. Not just VeeamZip as it has always had.

                                            I have not upgraded my free instance yet to test though.
