We got the Huawei MateBook D 14 in June. It impressed us then, but how about now, around five months after we used it for the first time? Is it a disappointment, or is it worth recommending to others who may want a new device for their study- or work-from-home needs?

In the video below, we share with you our long-term experience with the laptop that’s currently part of Huawei Philippines’ line of affordable premium notebooks, packing an AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 processor, depending on the configuration.

What it has been like using the Huawei MateBook D 14 for 5 months. We also uploaded the video on our Facebook page

In the Philippines, the Huawei MateBook D 14 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U CPU is priced at P39,990 (around $833 converted). The Ryzen 7 model, on the other hand, is selling for P42,990 ($895). And if you buy any of the two variants at any time until January 17, 2021, you get a free entertainment gift package worth P2,099 ($44), which includes a notebook, a multi-connector, and a Bluetooth speaker.

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.
