battery endurance to their rivals.<\/p>\n<p>This is no different for its laptops, with the MateBook D 14&#8217;s 56Wh battery capable of powering the system for up to 14 hours while connected to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<p>The MateBook D 15 comes with an efficient 42Wh battery pack, which puts out 8 hours in the same circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Charging the laptop while on the go is simple, with the compact 65W charging adapter and USB-C cable small enough to carry in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>With fast charging capabilities, you&#8217;ll be able to take the battery on either laptop from 0% to 50% in around 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Huawei-Matepad-D-charger.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

protected, and features an innovative recessed design which sees the camera built into the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>A single press pops the camera up when you need it, and after you&#8217;re done, you can just flip it down again to prevent any potential remote access or security breaches.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"
