In addition to the MatePad Air, Huawei has also released the MateBook E 2023 tablet in China, which is being marketed as a strong rival to the Microsoft Surface Pro due to its impressive features.

The MateBook E 2022, is a 2-in-1 notebook with impressive specifications. There are two versions of the device available, which differ based on the storage capacity. Additionally, the notebook is equipped with a smart keyboard that can be purchased separately.

The Huawei MateBook E 2023 is set to have a four-narrow bezel design, with a single camera on the back for photography. Additionally, it comes with a magnetic stylus that can be placed on the top and is primarily designed to enhance aesthetic appeal. It has a 12.6-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and it maintains the same resolution and aspect ratio as the 2022 MateBook E model with 2,560 x 1,600 pixels and a 16:10 aspect ratio. However, there is a difference in its refresh rate which is now doubled to 120Hz.
