Huawei Consumer Business Group (CBG) announced today the launch of its all-new Super Device lineup in the UAE. The devices, including the flagship productive tablet the new 12.6-inch HUAWEI MatePad Pro, and standalone monitor HUAWEI MateView, offer the seamless integration brought by the Smart Office setup.

As a part of the Super Device experience, Huawei introduced in the UAE market: the new 12.6-inch HUAWEI MatePad Pro and HUAWEI MatePad 11, along with its first standalone monitor series HUAWEI MateView and HUAWEI MateView GT. The new products will be available for pre-orders in the UAE starting July 29th prices from 3,399AED for HUAWEI MatePad Pro, from 1699AED for HUAWEI MatePad 11, and 2999AED for HUAWEI MateView. The pre-orders will come with amazing gifts with purchases such as HUAWEI Watch GT 2 and HUAWEI Freebuds 3 and more.

Technology evolves in many ways and over the years we have seen how innovative gadgets have become. From smartphones, laptops, and smartwatches, these devices are now part of one’s daily essentials. The past year has shown that work isn’t just situated in one place, and that contributing factors mean that offices should now be smarter than ever.

Having multiple devices can be overwhelming and shuffling from one device to another doesn’t always translate to a coherent practice. Huawei’s all-new Super Device experience is designed to provide a common language for different kinds of devices to connect and collaborate so it can give users a convenient, smooth, and secure multi-device experience.

The Smart Office experience brings a form of interconnectivity and distributed technology for users. This experience combines previous independent devices into one virtual Super Device where each service and function can be shifted effortlessly between devices. Through a single unified system, flexible deployment is possible, and the deep integration of hardware and software can help leverage the true power and capabilities of each device.

In a typical Smart Office scenario, Huawei has designed several devices to function and work as one Super Device as well as to easily switch between wired and wireless connections, and between work and personal mode. This includes the new HUAWEI MatePad and HUAWEI MateView series. Using a centralised control panel, you can immediately connect compatible devices wirelessly. From the tablet, wireless projection can be used so that users can see content on the monitor, and from the laptop, users can use a USB-C connection to connect to the monitor.

Using a mouse and keyboard that’s connected to the HUAWEI MateView, users can easily navigate and input content from the HUAWEI MatePad and also from the HUAWEI MateBook series. This level of convenience brings about the main advantages of the Smart Office setup, allowing users to switch between work mode and personal mode easily.

Another setup lets users easily work between the HUAWEI MatePad and the HUAWEI MateBook series. With Tablet-PC Multi-screen Collaboration mode, users can take advantage of three modes on how to work between the two devices: Mirror, Extend and Collaborate. Mirror mode allows the laptop display to be mirrored on the tablet that can show the exact same content. With the HUAWEI M-Pencil (2nd Generation), users will be able to use the tablet screen to sign and annotate documents and even use it as a canvas to create illustrations.

With Extend Mode, the HUAWEI MatePad can act as an extended display for the HUAWEI MateBook series. The advantage of having dual displays allow users to easily browse documents side-by-side suitable when doing comparisons. Collaborate Mode will let users transfer content between devices easily. With Tablet-PC Multi-screen Collaboration, users can directly use the laptop’s mouse to drag and drop files that include images, videos, audio files, and documents between the two devices.

The 12.6-inch HUAWEI MatePad Pro is a flagship productive tablet that brings top-of-the-line performance boosted by the Kirin 9000E Flagship Chipset. This 5nm processor is able to process massive amounts of data as well as utilise the power of real-time AI computing needed to power the Super Device setup. The tablet also brings a 12.6-inch, 16:10 ultra-wide 2K AMOLED FullView Display that has the world’s highest screen-to-body ratio at 90%.

Also available is the HUAWEI MatePad 11, the first Huawei tablet to feature a 120Hz high refresh rate display that translates to smoother viewing and more responsive touch control. The tablet is also compatible with the Huawei Super Device experience. The HUAWEI MateView brings photos and videos to life with its real colour display measuring 28.2-inches and boasting a 4K+ 3850 x 2560 pixel resolution. It also comes in a taller 3:2 aspect ratio that allows users to see more with its increased vertical height with ultra-thin bezels that allow for immersive viewing.

Huawei has also tailored the device for gamers with the launch of the HUAWEI MateView GT displaying cutting-edge technology, great reliability and outstanding quality. Introduced as a brand-new product category, the HUAWEI MateView GT features a curved ultrawide display that supports a refresh rate of 165Hz, with an innovative integrated SoundBar. With the HUAWEI MateView GT, Huawei is dedicated to offering consumers an even more powerful and efficient monitor, taking the gaming and entertainment experience to a new level.

The all-new Super Device from Huawei announced in the UAE bringing a seamless Smart Office experience.

Lenovo announced the latest additions to its ThinkPad and ThinkVision portfolios. The redesigned and re-engineered ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 delivers more power, better connectivity and rich configuration options in response to customer demand. Powered by up to the latest 11th Gen Intel Core i9 H-Series vPro processors and available with the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPUs, up to 64GB DDR4 memory and dual Solid-State Drive (SSD) support, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 is also offered with optional 5G Wireless WAN for high-speed access to cloud data.

With 74 percent of companies planning to permanently shift to more remote working, users need an exceptional collaboration experience. X1 Extreme Gen 4 delivers in spades, thanks to edge-to-edge 16-inch display options up to 4K along with Dolby Vision support, a new FHD webcam, dual noise-cancelling microphones and a user-facing Dolby Atmos Speaker System that is 20 percent larger than previous generation. All this performance wrapped in a legendary ThinkPad durable package that weighs less the 1.81kg.

Lenovo is also introducing the ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 and L13 Yoga Gen 2 powered by the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processors. Designed to offer value without compromise, the L13 series help users work more efficiently with features focused on productivity and security. To complete the picture addressing new hybrid working styles, we are also launching an all-new ThinkVision M15 mobile monitor that delivers second screen flexibility in a highly portable package, and the ThinkVision T24m-20 display and MC50 webcam that together offer a thoughtfully designed high-quality affordable video conferencing solution.

The fourth generation ThinkPad X1 Extreme is designed as a powerhouse to delight digital creatives and prosumers who seek supreme power for work and entertainment with up to 11th Gen Intel Core i9 H-series processors with optional Intel vPro platform designed to deliver high performance, protected by ThinkShield for enterprise-class security features, vivid displays and advanced mobile graphics options. Thin at just 17.7mm and under 1.81kg, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 exudes quality with multiple layers of reinforced carbon fiber.

Extreme performance needs maximum thermal efficiency so that users can push their creative boundaries without worrying about overheating. Lenovo engineers developed three new complementary cooling systems for the NVIDIA RTX configured models. A hybrid cooling system uses both traditional heat pipes as well as a large vapor chamber to keep intensive graphics running optimally. A keyboard air intake increases the cool air flow through the fans while maintaining spill resistance. Finally, a dual bypass design allows air to flow over the top and bottom of the cooling system to improve thermal insulation. These elements offer a glimpse of Lenovo’s relentless pursuit in perfecting the engineering processes that help further protect the state-of-the-art internal components.

New features at a glance include:

• New 16-inch 16:10 aspect ratio display surrounded by a four-sided narrow bezel design, encased in a 17.7mm chassis weighing 1.81kg.
• Display options offer up to 600 nit brightness with 4K resolution, Dolby Vision HDR for ultra-vivid image quality and feature low blue light technology. Touch, pen and factory color calibration capability are also optional.
• Powering stunning visuals requires high-performance mobile graphics delivered courtesy of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti, NVIDIA RTX 3060, RTX 3070 or RTX 3080 Laptop GPUs, the latter with 16GB of GDDR6 memory.
• Communicating from anywhere has never been easier or faster with Intel Wi-Fi 6E and optional 5G Wireless WAN1 providing optimum connection at home, in the office or somewhere in between.
• X1 Extreme Gen 4 can be configured with up to 64GB DDR4 memory and two 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen 4 SSDs and a standard 90Whr (Watt hour) battery offers up to 10.7 hours of battery life.
• The new design integrates an FHD or FHD Infrared webcam for improved video conferencing quality, and of course includes a physical camera shutter. Entertainment and Unified Communications are further enhanced by a Dolby Atmos Speaker System which fires crystal clear sound towards the user, and far field microphones ensure they are clearly heard.
• Security and ease of use experience are not forgotten. The fingerprint reader is integrated into the power button for easier sign on through Windows Hello, a larger 115mm touchpad caters to users who prefer this control method to the legendary TrackPoint and rapid access keys allow quick answer and hang up of audio and video calls.

An excellent companion to the X1 Extreme is the new ThinkVision M15 mobile monitor. Weighing just 860 grams the M15 almost doubles the X1 Extreme viewing space with an extra 15.6 inches of FHD screen real-estate, easily connected via a USB Type-C cable which can also offer power pass-through for an elegant one cable solution5. It can even connect to a compatible smartphone with a full-function USB Type-C port.

Whether adding a convenient second display in a home office, or comfortably sharing content with colleagues in meeting spaces, ThinkVision M15 is suitable for extended use thanks to an ergonomic height adjustment stand and features TÜV Rheinland low blue light technology to reduce eye strain. What’s more, it comes with a protective sleeve so it can conveniently slip into a carry case with a laptop.

If a larger fixed monitor is needed for a dedicated workspace, the ThinkVision T24m-20 is not only a 23.8-inch FHD monitor but is an effective one cable USB Type-C docking solution that supports data, video/audio, ethernet signal transfer and up to 90W power delivery to compatible devices. It also supports more advanced functions such as daisy chain for a multi monitor configuration and a mirrored power button can turn on a compatible connected PC. ThinkVision T24m-20 also features the Lenovo Display Control Centre software, called ThinkColor, that helps users seamlessly multitask and make advanced screen adjustments through single or multi-display windows in a simple point-and-click user interface.

Designed to fit any current ThinkVision P or T series monitor6, the new ThinkVision MC50 Monitor Webcam is however perfectly suited to transform the T24m-20 into an affordable video conferencing hub. The FHD 1080p webcam with built-in dual noise cancelling microphones delivers great audio-visual quality and has a clever smart traffic light that illuminates a red light on top of the webcam when the user is in a conference call, thereby informing colleagues or family members that the user is busy.

The MC50 is easy to use with a plug-and-play USB connection, has a tilt and swivel function so only the camera needs to be repositioned, not the whole monitor, and includes a physical camera shutter and an anti-theft attachment for added security. Finally, Lenovo is expanding its ThinkPad L series portfolio with two new additions powered by AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processors with AMD Radeon Graphics and PRO versions available. Boosting productivity with flexible docking options and Modern Standby, the black or silver L13 laptops include built-in ThinkShield security solutions for added peace of mind. Enterprise-level biometrics like Windows Hello facial recognition, a Match on Chip Fingerprint Reader, along with a physical webcam shutter and AMD security features, all combine for enhanced data and device protection.

The ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 is our first Windows 10 convertible laptop powered by the latest AMD Ryzen Mobile processors. Delivering the speed and responsiveness needed in today’s work-from-anywhere world, the 13.3-inch L13 Yoga Gen 2 delivers multimode versatility for up to 10.6 hours per day4 from its 46Whr battery.
