For a company with relatively little experience making laptops, Huawei's MateBook X Pro was a revelation. The machine was one of the best you could buy, with a blend of style and performance that made it the equal of a brand-name incumbent.

It's the sort of problem that could lead some design teams to second-guess themselves as they wonder what made the first one such a hit.

In fact, it might even be good enough to make laptop buyers think twice about simply running back to the usual cluster of brands.
