    Hello,

     

    Dont know much about Huawei stuff but I looked at the specs and it seems like it has weak hardware.  What are you using it for?

     

    I would go for the best that you can if you are using it for any professional graphic work. For office work it might be fine. Alot of notebooks by Asus, MSI, Dell have much better specs than from what I saw for the Huawei.

    Using it mainly for studying and light editing.

    Maybe some slight gaming aswell (League of Legends e.g.).

    I would prefer Huawei over Dell or Asus, partly because of the looks and because of the huge Trackpad and Screen to body ratio.

    What would be your suggestions if I should decide to get something else?

    If you are doing editing of photoshop, you need a laptop with at least 99% sRGB color gamut or as close as you can. The same for video editing. Other things need to look for are DCI-P3 which is a color gamut that is almost the same as sRGB, Rec 709 which is good to have for video editing.  

    If you are going to do print, than having a laptop with as close to 99% Adobe RGB is good to have. Adobe RGB is the color gamut used for printing and covers a wider color selection than sRGB. sRGB is the color gamut used for digital(online, video, non print things.) You can use sRGB to print. It all depends on your printer and/or what printing service you use.

     

    Laptops with these specs begin to become expensive. A way to still get good color gamut is to find a monitor with the specs. That way you can connect the monitor to the laptop.  

     

    Apple computers have a good screen and color gamut and many graphic students in the states use it, some schools suggest it. The school I went to uses macs.  But what I dont like about Macs right now is that the Macbook Pros dont have a good video card and they are expensive.

     

    At this point I would find a laptop with at least a i7 in it. The i7 8750H or the newer i7 9750H. A i5, like a i5 9300H would still get the job done but will be slower. Also now AMD are putting their newer Ryzen chips into laptops now so that makes for cheaper laptops.

     

    Info about the Nvidia MX150 that comes in the Huawei laptop and some lower end ones in the states.

    According to the article, the MX150 found in the Huawei laptop is weak.

    I would suggest a laptop with at least a  GTX 1050 video card in it.

     

    Lower priced laptops:

    Asus Scar II  GL504GW 15in laptop with i7 8750 and RTX2070    The GL504GV is the same except has a RTX 2060 and cheaper. 100% sRGB.

    https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-Strix-SCAR-II/

     

    ASUS ROG Zephyrus M GM501GS-XS74 15.6" laptop.  Has a i7 8750H and a GTX 1070 or GTX 1060. Less than 100% sRGB.

    https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-Zephyrus-M-GM501/

     

    For Dell I would look at the G3, G5, and G7 laptops.

    MSI look at the GL63 series

    Has 100% sRGB color gamut.

    I dont know the prices of the laptops in the country that you live. But with the specs you should look for I mentioned above, you can check different manufacturers.

     

    You will want a laptop with at least 99% sRGB, a GTX 1050 video card, and a i5 9300H cpu.

     

    Hope this helps
