According to our laptop expert
The Huawei MateBook 16 53012XUT is a 16-inch laptop that's suitable for daily use and photo editing. With the AMD Ryzen 5 processor and the 16GB RAM, you can edit photos in programs like Photoshop and multitask with light programs. On the WQXGA screen, you can do this all with an image that's twice as sharp as on a Full HD screen. The bezels are also thinner than the ones of comparable laptops. That's because the webcam is built-in underneath a key on the keyboard instead of above the screen. This allows you to get the most out of the screen size. You can use the webcam by pressing the camera key, which will make the camera fold out. When you don't need the webcam, you can fold it back in. Thanks to this, you don't have to worry about your privacy. Keep in mind that it records your face a bit from below. This can result in a different image than you're used to from other laptops. You can also log in to this laptop securely. That's because you can do this via the fingerprint scanner. The touchpad of the MateBook 16 is extra large, so you can use it even better.

The Huawei MateBook 16 53012XUT is a stylish laptop that works pleasantly. The screen displays everything sharply and the sound that comes from the speakers is good. The keyboard is also pleasant to type and the extra-large touchpad is comfortable to work with. What I don't like about this laptop is the webcam that is hidden in the keyboard. Also the noise of the fans is loud.
First impression What immediately struck me when I opened the laptop are the thin screen edges. This makes the screen appear optically larger, which is nice when you edit photos or watch a movie on Netflix. After booting, I quickly went through the installation menu and was able to try out the laptop. When I now start up the laptop, I am logged in within 2 seconds thanks to the fingerprint scanner. Furthermore, the laptop is fast. It has 2 USB A ports, 2 USB C ports, an HDMI input and a 3.5mm port. Those are exactly the ports I think are important to have in a laptop, so I'm happy with that.
Nice keyboard The keyboard is compact and looks good. The keys are thin, type very well and are relatively quiet. The touchpad is extra large if you compare it with other laptops and works very fine. The left and right buttons depress well and don't feel cheap. I had expected that I would regularly move my wrist over the touchpad while typing, but in practice this does not bother me. The speakers are located next to the keyboard and give a nice sound, despite not being from a well-known brand. That's why I like to listen to my favorite music via Spotify while surfing the internet and editing photos.
Noise of fans However, there are 2 points that I am less enthusiastic about. The fans of the MateBook make quite a bit of noise, even when I have light programs open or edit a photo in Photoshop. The bottom also gets quite warm. I always find this quite disturbing and I think it's a shame that this laptop has that.
Webcam in the keyboard At first glance it seems that the MateBook does not have a webcam, but nothing could be further from the truth. To keep the screen edges thin, Huawei has chosen to process the webcam in the keyboard. With one press of the camera key, a small webcam pops out of the keyboard and the camera is activated. With an eye on privacy, this is a smart idea, because I literally push the webcam away. I just didn't appear very charming in my meetings, because I was filmed from below. The idea is nice, but I don't think it has any added value when used. I would rather have the webcam in the usual place and a somewhat thicker screen edge. Or I buy a separate webcam.
