- wlesieutre 11y agoArsTechnica says $699 for a Core M3, 4GB RAM, and 128GB SSD. Another $59 for the pen, $129 for the keyboard, and $89 for the USB adapter if you want USB/HDMI/VGA/Ethernet out of its single USB-C port. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/huawei-matebook-hands-on-the-ipad-pro-and-surface-just-got-served/ http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/huawei-matebook-hands...
- ikeboy 11y ago> With prices starting at $699/€799 (~£620) for a 128GB model with 4GB of RAM and a Core m3 processor, it's even cheaper than the competition too. $699.
- wlesieutre 11y agoWhoops, thanks. Edited.
- wlesieutre 11y agoFor comparison: Surface Pro base model (specs look the same, though I didn't compare whether the M3 processor is identical) is $799 including the stylus. Keyboard is the same $130. If you get the stylus but not the USB adapter, Huawei undercuts Microsoft by $40. IMO not significant enough to be a driving factor either way. I'd wait on someone to do an in-depth comparison of the digitizers before jumping on it.
- therein 11y agoIf Huawei provides Linux support or it happens to come out of the box with zero driver issues on a mainline kernel, I can see many reasons why I would buy it. Battery life of course would be a factor.
- NamTaf 11y agoI'm curious about how Linux drivers deal with the USB3 -> everything expansion box it comes with, for video/ethernet/etc. Not having any experience here, is it at all mature and just works or is it one of those stars-must-align cases?
