Seifert also compares the keyboard of the Matebook X Pro to Apple's MacBook Pro saying "The keyboard has low travel (1.22mm), but it’s not as low profile or annoying to type on as the keyboard on a MacBook Pro."[7]

Daniel Rubino from "Windows Central" also compared the Matebook X Pro to Apple's MacBook Pro noting, "It may look like a MacBook Pro, but Huawei's latest goes beyond our expectations." concluding that the Matebook X Pro is "An excellent performer with few drawbacks."[8]
