Huawei introduced the MateBook Pro S laptop with a focus on screen privacy that avoids the typical brightness trade-offs. This matters because users sharing screens in offices or cafes can finally hide content without dimming the display. The device combines a new processor with a specialized OLED panel to address these practical concerns.
New laptop combines Kirin XE90 processor with specialized privacy display
The laptop runs on Huawei's Kirin XE90 processor and HarmonyOS 6.1 operating system. It houses these components in a magnesium-lithium chassis that weighs just 798 grams. This lightweight design targets professionals who prioritize portability alongside security features.
