2160×1440 (185ppi) is a touch on the low side, though admittedly very close to 2560×1440 on a 15.6″ display (188ppi; I confess I had that resolution more in mind for a 13″ or 14″ chassis). But definitely far less than the ~275ppi of my Surface Book’s 3000×2000!

This definitely looks an interesting machine, but it seems they’re not selling it in Australia, so alas, I can’t get it. Otherwise I’d be very strongly considering it.




They were selling it in Australia via ebay from the official store, but all stock disappeared shortly before Black Friday. The 4800h was 1750 aud.

I found a video review showing a great screen, and the machine is overall pretty good. One strange shortcoming is the use of 2666 Mhz RAM instead of 3200, and for Ryzen of that generation the RAM speed is important to overall performance, and also the RAM is used for graphics memory for the iGPU. Very strange to use that slow RAM but benchmarks still seemed reasonable.

I looked at the matebook pro in jbhifi with the 3000x2000 screen, best screen of any laptop there. Unfortunately no AMD option for that one.


Buy it through a USA based VAR. Small ones exist that can likely help. Case in point: https://greenbeetech.com/


I have a huawei mate book x pro and it’s great! It’s got the 3:2 aspect ratio and a higher resolution screen, touch, 16 gigs of ram, etc. it is super nice, but it does have nvidia.
