On July 27, Huawei will officially launch a new pair of MateBook laptops in the Philippines, and one of the key selling points this time around is size. That’s good news for professionals who are after a sizable laptop with the upsized specs sheet to match.

(Update, July 27: The MateBook D 16 has been launched in the Philippines! See its price, preorder period and freebies, and availability here.)

Cue the Huawei MateBook 16 D, the logical successor to the MateBook D 15, which is one of the bestselling notebooks in the country, based on the most recent data available. It’s powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core CPU and debuts a full-size keyboard with a numpad, on top of Huawei’s Metaline antenna to ensure faster and more stable Wi-Fi and maximize its network performance, especially in weak signal situations.

If you want more processing power at around the same size, Huawei Philippines is also launching the MateBook 16s alongside the MateBook D 16. In exchange for a higher price tag, the MateBook 16s offers an equally large 16-inch display with a sharper resolution and touch input. But more importantly, it can be configured with up to a 12th Gen Core i9 H-Series processor to give you the ultimate mobile-computing experience you’re after.

No other details for the local market have been announced yet. No information on variants, prices, and freebies — if there are any — but those details should be announced on the 27th. Stay tuned.

Team REVU Founded by Alora Uy Guerrero and Ramon "Monch" Lopez, REVU Philippines is the product of 42 combined years in the media trenches — long enough to see gadgets rise, platforms fall, and deadlines multiply. Between them, they've shaped content for Yahoo, T3, Techie, TV5, MEGA, GadgetMatch, and Gadgets, with a few strategic side quests in retail, PR, and marketing. We're a lean team, which means no filler and no fluff, just the stories worth telling. Between chasing kids, specs, and the perfect camera angle, we brew coffee, shoot content, play video games, watch hoops, blast our favorite bands, and somehow still hit our deadlines. REVU is our passion project, built on the belief that tech journalism should have as much style as it does substance — and preferably enough caffeine to power a small server farm.
