Common questions
- Does the Huawei MateBook X Pro (2024, Core Ultra 9) work with Linux?
- Not cleanly: there are significant gaps, so we don't recommend it for Linux as-is. After a year of daily use one Linux owner reports the webcam, fingerprint, S3 suspend and Intel Xe drivers are still broken and battery barely reaches 3 hours.
- What does the Huawei MateBook X Pro (2024, Core Ultra 9) cost?
- RRP is about 2200 USD (2000 EUR in the EU); street price is often lower.
- How heavy is the Huawei MateBook X Pro (2024, Core Ultra 9)?
- 0.98 kg (2.16 lb). That's very light to carry.
- What's the battery life like?
- A 70 Wh pack, around 6 hours real-world mixed use. We score battery 5/10.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- RAM is soldered, so the 32 GB it ships with is the RAM it dies with. Storage starts at 2 TB on this configuration.
- Which operating systems are supported?
- Ships with Windows.
