If urlhasbeenblocked points can be used to buy anything online, then this is effectively 1041$ ???

I've been intrigued by these Matebooks however I also am aware of their bad rep with Chinese backdoors being implemented into them etc. As a normal every day consumer, is there that much of a concern with that stuff?

I know hw exploits (intentional or not) exist, but I did a full wipe on mine to avoid any sketchy sw and have had zero concerns with mine. Fantastic machine for the price.

I'm on the fence with whether to pull the trigger now on this or wait until the 2019 Matebook X is available. Presumably this (older) model will go down further, right? The $258 in super points is a draw though.

Release date on 2019? Unless graphics or double the SSD is a huge concern, it remains relatively unchanged from the 2018 model. https://www.pcmag.com/review/3675...x-pro-2019

Specs on urlhasbeenblocked page says ram is DDR4, but if you look for this same model at bhohoto or Microsoft, it says DDR3. Which one is it for sure, does anyone know?

Thanks

Dunno as far as release date on 2019. I'm just going off of reviews that said things like "Coming as early as May 2019 at a yet-to-be-announced price" (https://www.laptopmag.com/article...ice-specs) or "coming to the US later this spring" (https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/2...uncement). But those quotes are nothing new and hardly specific.

Yeah, sorry I meant whether to buy the 2018 model now or buy the 2018 model after the 2019 model is released. I agree, given the fairly big bump in price people are saying the 2019 model will get, I'm sticking with the older one.

Completely understood and agreed. Lack of release dates from them, plus lack of US distribution for some products of theirs, makes planning difficult.

Huawei have hardware and BIOS backdoors that cannot be removed. They just found a new one a couple days ago. Only a moron would buy Huawei anything. Given the lax security of IoT devices, they may be able to infect everything on your network. It may be OK for Theresa May, but any thinking, breathing human should reject Huawei products.

Can you post your source? Most of you have your tin foil hats on. Actually, if you're referring to the Vodafone one, you should read more and not just read the headline. These journalists are using terms like "backdoor" not even knowing that they mean (or actually, they do), but they do it because the majority of individuals only read the headline and nothing else.


In a statement, Vodafone said: "The issues in Italy identified in the Bloomberg story were all resolved and date back to 2011 and 2012.

"The 'backdoor' that Bloomberg refers to is Telnet, which is a protocol that is commonly used by many vendors in the industry for performing diagnostic functions. It would not have been accessible from the internet.

"Bloomberg is incorrect in saying that this 'could have given Huawei unauthorised access to the carrier's fixed-line network in Italy'.

"In addition, we have no evidence of any unauthorised access. This was nothing more than a failure to remove a diagnostic function after development.

"The issues were identified by independent security testing, initiated by Vodafone as part of our routine security measures, and fixed at the time by Huawei."
