Everyone after i7 on the list goes with PCIe SSD
In addition, the 2019 models received NFC for transferring files to Huawei devices using Magic Link.

* About SATA and PCIe - all SSDs in this notebook are in M.2 format, but they communicate with the board through different buses. SATA is often up to 600 MB / s for sequential read and write, while PCIe allows you to get 2.5 GB or more, depending on the specific model. The laptop supports both those, and others, i.e. you can buy a laptop with a SATA drive and put PCIe in it to get the best responsiveness of the system and applications.
Outside China (in particular in the USA) is sold under the name Huawei Matebook D 14 ". Laptops are identical.

Single-page BIOS (UEFI with old interface, English is, virtualization support is also present).

The PC Manager is preinstalled on the laptop, which contains all the information about the hardware, with it you can directly download driver and BIOS updates. Despite the Chinese homeland of the laptop, this application tries on the language of the system and works fine in Russian, although some sections remain untranslated.

Intel version without cover (longer tubes and more capacitors to power the MX150):

This gentleman is not friends with AMD :(
And about the gigabyte archive, this is thanks to the crutch Infinity Fabric

I just tested in a different scenario. A small bioinformatics project written in C ++ compiles and sorts pointers (in the amount of a million or so) about twice as fast as the MacBook Pro 13 "2017 with 7300U on board (stable 0.15 seconds versus 0.27). OpenMP applied, parallelism, everything business, but purely processor power is higher at 2500U than at 7200U, you can even swing at 8250U. The task is not at all about memory.
But where memory is needed, yes, maybe the old man will strangle him (rendering and archiving depend entirely on memory). Delays of 80+ nanoseconds in 2018 are not khukh-mukhras.

So, we translate the laptop into Russian.
Sometimes it happens that you don’t want to reinstall anything. Let it be, even if you just got a laptop, but you want to leave it like it was from the factory (although Windows is such a wonderful system that after a while it stably fills up with garbage and reinstalling it no longer seems such a lazy venture). To do this, make our system multilingual. And it’s paid, but inexpensive - we can keep it at $ 10.
Before you start - classic disclaimer
The author is not responsible for your money, the condition of the computer before, during and after the procedure described below
Let's get started
The first thing we need is to find a key on eBay
We drive into the search for "Windows 10 Pro" and look for keys within 600 rubles (usually up to 450). We carefully read the description! If saidNo upgrade || Fresh installation ONLY - SKIP! We need a key to upgrade the system. Typically, in the descriptions of such lots, sellers write "100% upgrade from Windows 10 Home" or similar phrases in bourgeois ( for example, such a lot )
Find, buy. We look at the mail on which the eBay account is recorded, do not forget about the "Spam" folder!
Next, drive the key
I can not give screenshots in Chinese, because I translated the system and only then thought of helping the rest (genius, not otherwise). Therefore, I outline the buttons where you need to poke.
1) go to the parameters, following the screenshots, drive the key

2) after driving in the key, the system will check it on the server and give a message that the system has been successfully activated. We agree by clicking on the button

Attached Image

3) wait for the system to download the upgrade package (percentages will run), then it will automatically reboot
4) after the reboot, we’ll follow the information about the system to make sure the operation is successful (I do it from the desktop, instead of “home” you should say “Pro”)

5) then go to the language settings, select "add language" and write russian in the window that appears

6) we make sure that a checkmark is marked at the top and click install

Attached Image

7) during the installation process under the selected area you will have a terrible red inscription - it roughly translates as "a reboot is required to change the language"
accompanying picture
Attached Image

8) after a successful download of the package, reboot
9) if on the desktop you saw the treasured "Basket" in Russian - you have achieved 99% success, the last step remains
10) click on the search, write "Control Panel" and go into it

11) select the item "Regional standards" ->"Additionally"

12) "Copy settings"

13) put a checkmark on both items and click "OK"

14) reboot, see that the login screen is now also in Russian
All! Now your nubuck is in Russian!

I do not quite understand why you need to buy a key. I just put the language pack on English Windows and that's it.
But in the end, I still demolished everything and installed it from the Russian installer.



Rep: (97)
* lukovsky , on the Chinese Windows will not allow to put a tick "install as the language of the system", it simply does not

* lukovsky that is, the American version is most likely multilingual

I decided to order from the American warehouse, unfortunately the visa card did not pass, since newegg does not accept international cards, I will try the mastercard world (there is infa that it rolls). And who has the experience of shipping from the United States? Which intermediary can I use? I am considering the options of Pochtoy com, or the Parcel, the latter is 10-15% more expensive, but I ordered it through it the only time, but for a very long time.



Rep: (112)
* kolyan56 I took through litemf. Delivery with insurance came out $ 63.69 liked much more than ShopFans, which used to be. Somehow everything is more logical, clearer and faster. And in my opinion even cheaper.
Take a look at the options on eBay. There are both new and used. And any cards are accepted and PayPal.



Rep: (97)
* lukovsky By the way, for 37 thousand there are quite clean options on AMD with a touchscreen, not bad. If only delivery was cheap



Rep: (10)
* lukovsky, 600 $ + 3 $ delivery comes out in a newegg store with a promotional code, all the more it is a large store, and on ebay sellers with 100 reviews and with an unpacked laptop, saying that it is new.



Rep: (112)
* kolyan56 , for 3 bucks they won’t bring his weight to Russia, and to the intermediary’s warehouse I took mine on eBay brand new with Free shipping to USA.



Rep: (97)
* kolyan56 so take in China through an intermediary. If there is a good one, then almost the entire procedure will cost you $ 650



Rep: (10)
Can I add to the header? OnAmazonappeared for $ 607.
Guys, I'm sorry, but I do not trust the Chinese and Chinese intermediaries, you can call me paranoid, but it is better to order from the USA, especially since there will be a multilingual Windows.

Rep: (97)
* kolyan56,
Yes, I fully understand you.
It was somehow so interesting that the situation with intermediaries in the States is much more transparent than in China, although the latter is closer.

P.S. "largest possible clickpad for a 14-inch notebook"
Thin marketing is simply because the MacBook Pro is not 14 ". Tricky, crafty, but brilliant Chinese.
But it is worth recognizing that for the version with a touchscreen a very good price tag. I would turn it off anyway, but I would not refuse glass.

* kolyan56,
Class! Cheaper than mine without a wheelbarrow from China :)



Rep: (112)
For some reason, this version (Ryzen) disappeared from Volmart, although at the start of sales it was announced as Walmart exclusive.
And from the Huawei site they also sawed it, leaving only the intel versionhttps://consumer.huawei.com/en/laptops/

It is strange that the shop was turned so quickly.



Rep: (97)
* lukovsky,
Well, in general, it's not scary, the main thing is that the page with firewood is in place



Rep: (3)
So my "book of magic" came to me.
I took a version with AMD and 512 GB NVMe from Tmall through an intermediary (yeah, it was her, not SATA 256, but it turned out to be about $ 90 more expensive).

Here are the measurements of the disk speed and its description:

And here is the description of the CPU (AIDA64 CPUID):

What is cool is that charging is carried out via USB Type-C, and through it you can connect the phone (wire included).
And so, everything is super, as I wanted.

It remains to figure out what to do with Chinese Windows.

* GRomR1, cool cool. My American Matebook on Ryzen with 256Gb is much more modest

I correctly understand that the connection connector for both of these drives is identical - M2, and if my drive is waved to NVME, will the speeds be the same as yours? Or is there a bus bandwidth limit?
