HUAWEI Huawei "HUAWEI MateBook 13" expandability, USB Type-C x 2 so you don't have to worry

Achieves a neat appearance with the minimum required terminals

When using a notebook PC, it is often used not only by itself but also by connecting to various peripheral devices. Various peripheral devices such as optical drives such as DVD / BD, portable HDDs, USB memory, external displays, SD cards, and projectors are used. These peripherals are often used not only in business settings but also in private.

External terminals for connecting such peripheral devices are convenient if they are installed in a notebook PC, but the terminals differ depending on the function, and space and cost are required to install them. For notebook PCs that are required to be thinner and lighter, the number of external terminals is steadily decreasing except for some corporate PCs.

Not all terminals are used in this area, and if they are not installed, the space can be reduced by that amount, so there is no choice but to do so. The HUAWEI MateBook 13 also omits the VGA terminal and wired LAN terminal.

Instead, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 has two USB Type-C terminals, one on each side. Since the USB Type-C terminal doubles as a power supply terminal, it has a neat and thin appearance.

Uses a highly versatile USB Type-C terminal

With USB Type-C, various devices can be connected with the same cable. Until now, various devices have been connected with USB Type-A, but it will be great that external displays and power supplies can now be connected with the same terminal.

Until now, the number of USB Type-C compatible products has increased even for smartphones and external drives that have adopted USB Type-A. With this USB Type-C on both sides, you shouldn't have much trouble with normal use as long as you have a compatible device.

For example, if you have an external display with a USB Type-C connection, you can output the screen simply by connecting the USB Type-C cable of the display to the HUAWEI MateBook 13. You can continue working on the big screen as soon as you return from the office.

Moreover, the other USB Type-C terminal is free, so you can connect a smartphone to it or connect an external drive with a USB Type-C connection. There are other memory card readers that are likely to be used frequently, but since the number of products with USB Type-C connection is increasing, it is recommended to use this.

After all, it has two terminals, so it is an advantage that you can use another peripheral device at the same time in addition to the power supply.

HUAWEI MateDock 2 is included as standard and supports conventional interfaces

However, USB Type-C is a relatively new standard, and there are many cases where there are not enough compatible products or you continue to use the old model.

Even for such users, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is properly considered. "HUAWEI MateDock 2" is attached to the main body. This type of dock is an optional item that was previously sold separately, but it is included in the product as standard with the HUAWEI MateBook 13. You can connect this to a USB Type-C port to increase the number of external terminals on the main unit.

Connect to the USB Type-C terminal HUAWEI MateDock 2

HUAWEI MateDock 2 is equipped with 4 terminals: USB Tyep-C, USB Type-A, VGA, and HDMI. You can expand the VGA and HDMI that can be output to displays and projectors, and the USB Type-A that can be used for storage and card readers, so you can rest assured in case of emergency. It also has a USB Type-C, so if you connect the power cable to this Type-C terminal, you can add peripheral devices and charge at the same time just by inserting the HUAWEI MateDock 2 into the main unit.

It's surprisingly easy to use, and anyway, when you get back to your home or office desk, you'll connect the power cable, and if you replace it with a HUAWEI MateDock 2, it's convenient that you don't have to plug in a separate cable.

A pocket charger that supports quick charging and can be used for about 2.5 hours with a 15-minute charge.

It is this power supply that must not be forgotten. USB Type-C connected pocket charger supports quick charging. With a 15-minute charge, it can be used for about 2.5 hours, so a short interval charge will ensure sufficient usage time.

Quick charging is possible with the included USB Type-C cable and pocket charger

It's nice to be able to charge up to a practical time in as little as 15 minutes. The pocket charger itself isn't too big, so you can carry it with you. The pocket charger can also be used to charge smartphones, and if it supports 9V2A, it also supports quick charging, so it can be charged together with HUAWEI MateBook 13.

In addition to using the notebook PC alone, the notebook PC can be used as an external device in various situations, such as connecting an external display instead of the main PC, connecting to a projector on the go, or capturing photos taken with a digital camera. Will often be connected.

Even in such a case, the HUAWEI MateBook 13 is a USB Type-C x 2 + HUAWEI MateDock 2, and can be said to be a notebook PC that can be used for any purpose.
