華為發布首款筆記本電腦MateBook

Huawei has announced its first Windows 10 tablet, a day before Mobile World Congress in Barcelona begins.在巴塞羅那世界移動大會開幕前一天，華為正式發布了傳聞已久的首款MateBook筆記本電腦。The MateBook is designed to be an alternative to laptops and is thinner than Microsofts rival Surface Pro 4 thanks to its use of a USB-C port.由于MateBook使用USB-C接口，所以相比競爭對手微軟的Surface Pro 4更薄一些，可以代替手提電腦使用。The Chinese firm is already the worlds third-bestselling mobile phone-maker, but until now had only made tablets powered by Android. Experts said it made good business sense to expand into the new category.這家中國公司已經成為世界上第三大最暢銷的手機制造商，但直到現在才開發出安卓系統的平板電腦。專家稱這為手機制造企業拓展了新的商機。However, there was no mention of the much-rumoured P9 smartphone at Huaweis event. When questioned about the no-show, the firm told the BBC it did not discuss future products.然而，謠傳已久的華為P9并沒有被提及。當被問及華為P9的缺席時，華為公司告訴BBC，他們暫時不想討論未來產品。

The MateBook features a 12in (30.5cm) display and can be clipped into an add-on keyboard and used with a stylus.MateBook配備12寸(30.5cm)的觸摸屏，可加入鍵盤或者使用寫字筆。Its advantages over Microsofts Surface Pro 4 are that it is:優越于微軟Pro 4 的幾大特點：nearly 20% thinner, measuring 6.9mm (0.3in) deep比Pro 4輕薄20%，厚度為6.9毫米has a fingerprint sensor built into its side, unlike the Surface Pro which requires its cover to be attached to use the feature內置指紋傳感器，不像Surface Pro需要觸碰鍵盤蓋來使用這項功能。However, the disadvantages are that Huaweis machine is only offered with a sixth generation Core M processor, and not Intels more powerful Core i5 or i7 chips.但是這臺機器的缺點是只提供第六代酷睿M處理器，而不是英特爾的更強大的酷睿i5或i7芯片。In addition, the decision to rely on a USB-C port means that older peripherals cannot be attached directly to the machine and it lacks a built-in display port.此外，依靠usb-c端口意味著舊的設備不能直接連接到這臺機器，并且它缺乏一個內置的顯示端口。The entry-level MateBook will cost $699 when it goes on sale later this year, making it $100 cheaper than the basic Surface Pro 4. To purchase its keyboard, MatePen and MateDock will cost an additional $277.當MateBook今年晚些時候開始銷售時，其初級版本的售價為699美元，比Surface Pro 4的售價便宜了100美元。但是購買它的附屬品如鍵盤、寫字筆和MateDock將會額外花費277美元。
