Huawei despite the fact that it is under sanctions for some reason, easily buys Intel processors and their logic, but not AMD processors. I have not seen a single laptop from them on the latest series of AMD for the last 2 years. Apparently AMD is denying them new supplies, but Intel is not. And this is very strange...
It is a shame that this one with Zen 4 7040 Phoenix would not have been a total success since the difference in performance and graphics is much greater than 4nm compared to the version with Intel 13 gen at 10nm++++++ which consumes a lot of energy and high temperatures. I would never buy this obsolete 13 gen laptop when the 14 gen has already been released. The Intel IRIS graphics cannot render CAD, CAM and 3D, making it impossible to play AAA games.
It's funny, in our stores this model has been sold at inflated price tags (almost no one buys it, if you compare it with the D16 2022 model with i5 12500H/12700H) at least since the beginning of summer, I see a graph of price changes since the beginning of June.
Why lie to readers that this is a 2024 model if it is a morally outdated 2023 model?
With a shameful, non-expandable 16GB and a non-external TB4 port (H series Intel have internal TB4 logic), and a shameful 65(!)W power supply and this is for i9! no one is interested in it.
At its price there should be at least a 2.5k screen 144-165Hz.
Huawei has updated the MateBook D 16, which it now sells as the MateBook D 16 2024. Theoretically, the MateBook D 16 2024 should pack considerably better performance than its predecessor thanks to the Core i9-13900H, an Intel Raptor Lake-H processor with 14 CPU cores. Huawei also includes a 1200p display and a 70 Wh battery, among other features.
