Huawei Announces First Laptop PC to Incorporate Dolby Atmos Sound System

Huawei’s new MateBook laptops are the first portable PCs to incorporate Dolby Atmos, said the companies in a Tuesday announcement. For the PC version of Atmos, Dolby worked with partners to vertically integrate the audio subsystem -- hardware and software -- into a PC form factor. The Dolby Atmos Sound System is said to create audio that moves around the PC user, delivering boosted bass, enhanced volume without distortion from speakers or headphones and a broader frequency range than traditional PC sound. Huawei’s MateBook X, with a speaker system co-designed by Dolby, includes two motors per speaker, placed in an upward-firing configuration, said the companies. Huawei’s MateBook D also has the Dolby Atmos Sound System.
