But there are two laptops in the MateBook D range: the MateBook D 14 and the MateBook D 15. 

So what are the main differences between the two laptops? Is it just down to their size?

Here’s a look at the differences and similarities between the two devices…

MateBook D 14 vs MateBook D 15: what’s the same?

The MateBook D series has a few key features that are the same across both the MateBook D 14 and MateBook D 15. 

Both laptops are ultralight devices that provide portability with a focus on affordability. 

They both come equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics. 

Both laptops also have a 65W Type C integrated fast charger for quick and simple charging. 

The Matebook D 14 and D 15 both have 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD for storage. 

Unique features of the MateBook D laptops include a recessed camera in the keyboard that you can open and close, as well as a fingerprint sensor on the power button.

The laptops also include multi-screen collaboration with Huawei smartphones — allowing you to seamlessly share and project from your phone to your laptop. 

Notably, both laptops are available for a price of R13 499 in South Africa.

So what are the differences between the two laptops?

The two devices differ mostly in terms of size, weight, display size, and battery life. 

The MateBook D 15 sports a larger 15.6-inch display in comparison to the D 14, which has a 14-inch display. 

Due to its larger form factor, the MateBook D 15 is also slightly heavier. It weighs 1.53kg, while the D 14 weighs 1.38kg. 

Meanwhile, the D 14 has the longer battery life of the two devices. Its 56Wh battery lasts up to 10 hours. 

The MateBook D 15 has a 42Wh battery, with up to 6.3 hours of battery life. 

Finally, the D15 also has an extra USB 2.0 port.

How to choose the right MateBook D for you

There’s a lot to love between the two devices. So which one do you choose?

It really depends on your needs. If you prefer a larger display, the MateBook D 15 gives you a bit of extra screen real estate. 

However, if battery life is the most important feature for you, the MateBook D 14 might be a better choice. 

Regardless of your final choice, you’ll get access to the handy fingerprint sensor and the Huawei Hi Cloud ecosystem — and affordable price point — of the Matebook D series.
