It’s got invisible speakers with two tweeters and two woofers to deliver immersive audio, on-edge dual microphones with a sound pickup range of 5 meters, AI-assisted reverb, and echo removal, and a new cooling system.
Its keyboard offers 1.3mm key travel distance, and the new touchpad has 26% more area, and now has the Huawei share tag built-in for fast detection and quick connection. It’s got 8 Piezoelectric Plates and Full Haptic Feedback.
Under the hood is a 10th Generation Intel Core processor. For connectivity, you get Wi-Fi 6. MateBook X 2020 also has two USB-C ports, comes with a 65W portable fast-charger, and supports SuperCharge for compatible phones and tablets.
