Wang Yinfeng, President of PC and Tablet Product Line, Huawei Consumer BG, said:
Interconnection and interoperability between PCs and smartphones allow consumers to enjoy a seamless one-stop user experiences. Together, they are a key pillar supporting the all-scenario ecosystem, and by extension, Huawei’s all-scenario strategy. On the other hand, we are also witnessing a change in consumer behaviors—whereas in the past they may look for PCs that are of good value, they are now gravitating toward more premium products. Combining premium design, FullView display, high performance and better connectivity features, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 and HUAWEI MateBook 14 are the perfect companions for consumers looking for notebooks that sport extreme portability, high performance and superb all-scenario connectedness—and do so in style.
