      HyperionBurn, 18 Feb 2024cause they keyboard isnt off centre?The effective keyboard center is where the B key is
      And of course on the laptops with the num-pads the effective center is quite to the left side

      The standard practice for aligning the keyboard is based on the home row keys, which are usually the F and J keys.
      These keys often have tactile bumps or markers to help users locate them without looking. The center of the keyboard is considered to be between these two keys on most laptops.

              the target audience for this laptop isn't for gamers.
              integrated gpu can't be that bad if you don't do intensive gaming.

                            Ivan, nope. Newest Huawei Nova , P series and Mate Folding Phone is still being sold in Europe. So, there are latest Huawei smartphones here in Europe

                              When tuxedo decided to use 32gb of ram for 14" ultrabook with Ryzen, Huawei offers 8 and 16. Omg.
                              Today we can put 96gb of ram in a laptop.
                              For example, I used more than 32gb once. And I use 8gb for ryzen's igpu, but I use a mini PC with 64gb.

At 1.72kg, it‘s not a featherweight to carry in a backpack already, especially compared to most models of the 13-14 inch category, even very powerful ones like the 14 inch MacBook Pro.

                                  I've been using the 2022 version since 04/07/2022. Overall a solid laptop. Before purchasing, I tested this one (16gb i5-12450H) and the galaxy book2 (16gb i7-1255U). The Huawei was better in almost every aspect

                                    Intel core ultra processor?

                                      For this price, needs 400 - 500 nits. You can definitely fit a larger battery into a 16" model, 80whr+ should be easily achievable considering most competitors do it. Number pads are a preference so I don't fault them for the off center keyboard and touchpad....I prefer centered without a numpad though.

                                        A good read. Any chance you'd review the D14? £549 is more in the price range for some of us.
