![]() We consider about 260 nits to be satisfactory for comfortable indoor use. While we didn’t check the color fidelity, our light meter reported that the 2160×1440 display puts out a comfortable 323 nits of luminance. Huawei rates the Matebook 13’s screen at 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut, with a contrast ratio of 1,000:1. ![]() Huawei bundles the MateDock 2.0 with the Matebook 13, providing HDMI, VGA, and USB-A (on the other side of the device). It’s worth noting that Huawei ships its MateDock 2.0 in the Matebook 13 box, which includes a USB-A port on one side, and VGA, and HDMI (plus USB-C power) on the other side. (A small pop-up in Mandarin advised me of this-I think-when I tried plugging in my review unit incorrectly.) No SD card slot, no SIM slot, though there is a headphone jack. Unfortunately, neither are Thunderbolt-powered, and only the left-hand port can accept power. There are two USB-C ports, one on either side of the Matebook 13, and that’s all. Otherwise, though, the ports are rather spartan. ![]() Huawei kept its fingerprint reader in its convenient location underneath the power button, where I’ve rarely had a problem with my finger being read, either on the Matebook 13 or its more powerful cousin, the Matebook X Pro. The Matebook 13’s embedded fingerprint reader within the power button is one of our favorite conveniences within Huawei’s laptop. It reclines to about 35 to 40 degrees off the horizontal-a bit further back than some, and very comfortable for taller users. When I wiggled the base, I was able to force just a slight wobble in the display portion of the laptop. At almost 3 pounds and 0.59-inch thick, the Matebook 13 is surprisingly dense and moderately thin, though it does seem particularly stable. The result of the densely packed design can be felt when you pick up the Matebook 13. Meanwhile, the spacious keyboard spans nearly the entire 11.26-inch width of the chassis. The Matebook 13 has a screen-to-body ratio of 88 percent, with very slender bezels.
