Huawei announces MateBook D14, MateBook D15 with Intel 10th Gen, AMD Ryzen chips

Huawei announced yesterday two new models in its MateBook D series of laptops, namely the MateBook D14 and MateBook D15. Both models come powered either by an Intel 10th Gen Core series CPU or an AMD Ryzen Mobile processor. They’re also equipped with an optional Nvidia GeForce MX series graphics card with 2GB of dedicated video RAM. The MateBook D14 starts at 699 euros (Rs 54,635 approx), while the MateBook D15 starts at 649 euros (Rs 50,725 approx). Both models are currently on sale globally but we don’t yet know when or if Huawei will launch them in India.

As their names suggest, the MateBook D14 features a 14-inch IPS screen, while the MateBook D15 features a 15.6-inch IPS screen. The FullView display on both models gets Full HD resolution, 250 nits of maximum brightness, and 800:1 contrast ratio. Both models are made of aluminium alloy but the MateBook D14 weighs 1.38kg, while the larger MateBook D15 weighs somewhere between 1.53kg and 1.62kg. Colour options on both models include Mystic Silver and Space Grey. Both models get the same 65W USB-C charger that promises to juice up the battery from 0 to 53 per cent in 30 minutes.

The MateBook D14 can be configured with either 8GB or 16GB of system RAM but the MateBook D15 gets a fixed 8GB option. Solid-state storage on the MateBook D14 is of either 256GB or 512GB capacity but remains a fixed 256GB capacity on the MateBook D15. However, it can be accompanied by an optional 1TB hard drive. The battery on the MateBook D14 is a 56Wh unit rated for 13.2 hours of continuous offline video playback, while the battery on the MateBook D15 is a smaller 42Wh unit.

As is the case with many of Huawei’s laptops, the MateBook D14 and MateBook D15 feature a recessed pop-up webcam on the top row of the keyboard, which can be popped up manually for use and hidden completely for added privacy. Both models also feature a power button with an integrated fingerprint scanner and the company’s proprietary Huawei Share feature, which works in the same way Apple’s AirDrop does. Windows 10 Home comes pre-installed on both models. Huawei hasn’t mentioned if or when it will launch the two new laptops in India.

WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp for PCMac to receive dark mode soon

WhatsApp is set to receive the much-awaited dark mode not just on mobile platforms but also on desktop platforms. According to a recent report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp for PC/Mac are currently being tested with a dark theme that paints the main screen and side panel in varying shades of dark grey. Unlike the latest WhatsApp Beta for iOS, this dark theme won’t be completely black and therefore, won’t aid in saving power on OLED display panels.

WhatsApp is available for use on desktop platforms in two formats: WhatsApp for PC/Mac, which is a dedicated application that needs to be installed and run, or WhatsApp Web, which is essentially a website that can be opened on any modern browser. The latter is known to occupy lesser storage space than the former. Fortunately, both will receive the new dark theme. When it’s finally out, it should appear in Settings > Desktop Settings.

Recently, WhatsApp Beta version 2.20.30.25 for iOS devices was spotted with an option to extend the dark theme found natively in iOS 13. To enable it, one has to visit the Display & Brightness section within Settings. They can expect to see an all-black background with white text in every screen of the app, including the splash screen, chats list, and chat screen. They can even see the new dark theme in the ‘share’ section of the app. 

A number of apps made by Facebook now support dark mode. For example, Instagram received support for the dark theme back in October last year on iOS 13 and Android 10 devices. Facebook, too, received the feature earlier this year. The desire to switch to a dark theme on mobile software has picked up pace ever since both iOS and Android incorporated native support for dark mode last year. Historically, integrated development environment applications, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, have had dark mode for many years now.
