Don't look now but there's another Microsoft Surface clone coming to market and this one is from a very unexpected source. Huawei just took the wraps off its 12-inch MateBook Hybrid PC which features a tablet-first convertible that can emulate a notebook thanks to a kickstand and a slim keyboard case and yes, it also has a stylus accessory because it wouldn't be a very good Surface clone if it did not offer pen input. The 12-inch display weighs in with a 2160 by 1440 resolution and the keyboard/case/kickstand is included in the package.
At 1.4 pounds, the MateBook is one of the lightest such devices in terms of weight. CPUs range from Intel Core M3, M5 and M7 processors and storage goes from 128GB to 512GB, you can also get 4Gb or 8GB of RAM depending on the configuration.
Canadian availability and pricing is questionable at this time but we should hear more from Huawei in the coming weeks.
