An 18-inch display in the body of a 13” laptop – Huawei is bringing its foldable tech to the laptop form factor with the MateBook Fold Ultimate. It runs HarmonyOS PC and can adapt to several different modes of operation.

The device can be opened 90° and show a virtual keyboard, something like a traditional laptop. It can be opened fully too, giving you an 18” vertical or horizontal display to work with (there’s a built-in kickstand).

The Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate is thin and lightweight. It tips the scales at 1.16kg (2.56lbs) and measures 14.9mm when closed. When opened, it’s only 7.3mm thick – Huawei used an ultra-thin PCB and a three-layer aluminum structure to fit everything and make sure it’s rigid.

A vapor chamber leads to two super-slim fans to cool the chipset. Which chipset is that? That’s to be determined. All we know is that there is 32GB of RAM and 1TB/2TB SSD.

The display is quite impressive – it has 4:3 aspect ratio when opened (3,296 x 2,472px) and 3:2 when in laptop form (2,472 x 1,648px resolution of the “display”). It’s a dual-layer OLED LTPO panel that pumps out a powerful 1,600 nits and has 1,440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The dual-layer structure reduces power usage by 30% while tripling the expected life of the panel. It is protected by a non-Newtonian fluid and a carbon fiber support layer.
