Huawei may have faded a little from the smartphone market, but the company is still churning out decent tech in other markets. Take, for example, the recently announced Matebook X Pro (2022 edition).

The newest laptop from the company not only features a large 90Hz display, it also puts the webcam back where it belongs – on the bezel, rather than peering up at you from the keyboard. No one looked good at that angle. It uses infrared to help Windows Hello identify your face to log in, or you can use the fingerprint reader that is built into the power button.

Shipping with Windows 11, the device also supports Huawei’s Super Device feature that allows you to work across your Huawei devices, including dragging and dropping files, and pair up accessories such as ear buds quickly and easily.
