If you’re in the market for a new laptop, set your sights big. Why not upgrade to a device that will revolutionise your tired home office, and one that will help you unleash your full potential?

The Huawei MateBook 16 can do just that. As its name suggests, the laptop packs a 16-inch screen, large enough to bring your big ideas to life. It’s not all about size, however, as the near bezel-less display also packs a punch when it comes to visuals: it supports 100% of sRGB gamut with excellent accuracy, boasts 1.07 billion colours and an eye-popping 1,500:1 contrast ratio, and comes with Low Blue Light certification that reduces eye strain. 

The display also boasts a 3:2 aspect ratio, making it the ideal machine for productivity. The extra vertical space on offer is a game-changer. From your everyday standard emails, web browsing and reading documents, and writing to using video editing software or composing your next masterpiece, this mega screen massively reduces how much time you spend scrolling.

Whether you’re a music producer, graphic designer or photographer, this robust laptop will see you through your days. Its impressive features continue under the hood, as the Huawei MateBook 16 packs an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, an 8-core powerhouse that makes this device ideal for gamers and workaholics alike. Plus, its accompanying dual heat pipes, dual fans and 79 Shark Fin blades will ensure the laptop can keep cool, even when it’s bringing the heat with its performance. What’s more, this high-performance CPU is backed up by 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD, ensuring plenty of space to store all of your creative projects. 

The Huawei MateBook 16’s battery life, too, is sure to supercharge your creativity, with the laptop delivering over 12 hours of battery life. That’s even more impressive when you consider the svelte profile of this big-screened laptop; the Huawei MateBook 16 measures in at just 17.8mm thick and tips the scales at less than 2g, which means unlike most 16-inch laptops on the market, this will fit into your backpack when working on-the-go. It’s also been put through a bunch of durability tests, so you can rest assured it’ll survive the journey.

Of course, the Huawei MateBook 16 is as ready for play as it is for work. Not only is its 16-inch screen ideal for a much-needed Netflix binge at the end of the workday, but its soundsystem is one of the best you’ll find on a sub-£1,000 laptop - especially fantastic for audiophiles on a budget. Its front-facing speakers pack a punch like no other, and its dual microphones make it ideal for catching up with friends and family; they can pick up audio from as far as 5-metres away, while the built-in AI noise reduction ensures you always sound your best. 

If you’re already part of Huawei’s bumper ecosystem, the must-have features don’t stop there - you can upgrade to Super Device status. This innovative feature facilitates seamless cross-device collaboration, allowing a vast array of Huawei smart devices - from monitors to tablets - to function as one cohesive unit. This means , for example, you can use a Huawei MatePad 11 in Mirror mode with the MateBook 16 so that you can take full advantage of the M-Pencil and the native apps running on the Windows machine. 

With the Huawei MateBook 16, the features - and the possibilities - are endless. Not only does it come with extra finishing touches that put it ahead of the competition such as a built-in fingerprint reader and a generous number of built-in ports, but it’s also far more affordable than most of its rivals. Despite its large screen and powerful internals, the Huawei MateBook 16 is available for just £949.
