Wiko is bringing fresh competition to the mid-range laptop space with the Hi MateBook 14, a 14-inch notebook built for everyday productivity and light creative work at an aggressive price.
At its core is the AMD Ryzen 7 H 255, packing eight Zen 4 performance cores with boost clocks up to 4.9 GHz. That CPU is paired with integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics, a capable iGPU known for smooth everyday performance and casual gaming. Backing the chip is either 16 GB or 32 GB of memory, plus a roomy 1 TB SSD to handle large files and fast app loads.
Battery life looks promising for commuters and students. The 70 Wh battery is rated for up to 15 hours of local video playback on a single charge, suggesting all-day use for streaming, note-taking, and web browsing with the right settings.
Connectivity covers the essentials. You get a USB-C port for modern peripherals and charging, two USB-A ports (5 Gbit/s) for legacy accessories, an HDMI interface for external displays, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired audio.
Price and availability
The Hi MateBook 14 will debut in China starting at ¥4,999 (about $702). Details for international markets haven’t been announced yet. If you’re eager to get one early, direct import could be an option, though availability, regional support, and warranty terms may vary.
