- Huawei unveiled his new Matebook Fold Ultimate Design laptop during Computex 2025
- It has an 18-inch OLED display and a new foldable mechanism for competitors
- It is now only available in China, but could soon come to the world markets
Computex 2025 Is here, and it was only a matter of time until one of the huge technology companies during the Expo revealed a new device that brings laptop design to the next level – and it may be worthwhile to keep an eye on.
On His website (translated from Chinese)Huawei announced the new Matebook Fold Ultimate Design laptop, with an 18-inch (when extended) 3K OLED Display active on Harmony OS 5. In contrast to other foldable laptops such as the Asus Zenbook Duo, the Matebook Fold Ultimate Design unfolds in a very single screen.
In essence, this means that instead of what would be two screens that are connected via regular laptop hinges, it is a ‘waterdrop hinge’ with which it can open and close it smoothly and lay completely flat for an 18-inch fencer experience. This mechanism is demonstrably one step higher than Microsoft’s new Surface ProIt acts as a tablet but also a 2-in-1 when you use the keyboard (which is sold separately).
In its laptop shape you have a 13-inch OLED screen at your disposal using the touchscreen keyboard (or the keyboard included in the package). However, the Matebook Fold Ultimate Design looks more than just a 2-in-1 laptop; You can transform it from a normal laptop into a portable 18-inch display for casual display on the device within a few seconds.
The closing of the laptop gives it completely a stylish and thin notebook or diary style design, as if it is built as a disguise, so that it is further distinguished in terms of its design of competitors. To add a icing at the top, it has 1600 Nits peak clearance and a 74.69WHR battery – and both functions can easily stand on their own as important sales arguments.
According to a reliable technical analyst, Ming-Chi KuoHuawei is planning a production objective for the Matebook folds of between 180,000 and 200,000 units, and its life cycle depends mainly on user feedback on software functionality.
It is an important factor to notice, because the Matebook folds is by no means a cheap laptop. It is currently only available in China, starting at ¥ 23,999, which converts up to around $ 3,330 / £ 2,490 / AU $ 5,200, but the new functions will be difficult to be due to if you can pay it.
Analysis: If this is the future of laptop design, I am here for it
I have played many futuristic games like Cyberpunk 2077 And considering enough films such as Mission impossible To suggest that the new laptop from Huawei can be a game changer. It is not like other companies, such as ASUS, have not introduced similar devices to the difference that none of them uses the ‘Waterdrop hinge’ mechanism that Huawei has introduced.
It just makes the ASUS ZENBOOK DUO and the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Looks like awkward setups, which require a position to stay upright and hangs in front of both screens. The Matebook fold is the first foldable laptop that I saw that my attention has caught – as long as I could afford it.
The only drawback here is that it will probably reduce thousands of dollars if it is ultimately launched worldwide. However, if it sells well enough and gets the traction that I expect, we could easily see the competitors of Huawei and others follow quickly – and that is exactly what I hope for.
