Paired with Windows 10, MateBook is the perfect solution for students that want productivity as much as they want portability.”
New School All the Way
There is nothing old school about MateBook. Running Windows(TM) 10 and powered by an energy-efficient 6th generation Intel® core m-series processor, MateBook is powerful and ready for whatever develops this school year. The m-series processor is designed specifically for hybrid computing devices. It features up to 8GB of LP DDR3 memory and a solid-state hard drive with a capacity of up to 512GB, enough room for term papers, reports, research, and all manner of apps. It has all of the power and storage capability a student needs for uninterrupted productivity.
The unit’s metal unibody weighs in at just 1.41 pounds and is only 0.27″ thick. Its sleek design makes it easy to carry from class to class, home to school, and to the neighborhood coffee shop. It has a 12″ 10-point touchscreen with a 2160 x 1440 high-definition resolution and a nearly side-to-side, 160-degree viewing angle.
