Huawei has expanded its HarmonyOS ecosystem with a brand-new laptop that sidesteps Windows, macOS, and Linux. This sleek device draws inspiration from the acclaimed MateBook X Pro, but runs exclusively on Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS, until now limited to smartphones and IoT gadgets.
At just 970 grams, the laptop offers a featherlight form factor ideal for digital nomads and young professionals on the move. Huawei's decision to replace Intel CPUs with its own Kirin X90 chip reflects both innovation and adaptation to supply restrictions that later prevented Intel from supplying chips to the Chinese mainland market. Early terminal data suggests a peak clock speed of around 2 gigahertz—modest compared to market-leading processors, but enough to keep everyday tasks running smoothly.
Social media videos show users juggling multiple large files without noticeable lag, hinting at a responsive OS experience. While heavy-duty workflows like 3D rendering or high-end gaming may push the hardware to its limits, HarmonyOS's seamless integration with Huawei's ecosystem could offer unique productivity perks for existing users.
For young global citizens and tech enthusiasts, this laptop represents more than a new gadget. It's a statement about diversifying the PC market and embracing alternative operating systems. As emerging markets and tech landscapes evolve, Huawei's HarmonyOS laptop could inspire fresh innovation—and challenge the status quo of personal computing. Stay tuned for hands-on reviews and deeper benchmarks as HarmonyOS steps into the PC arena.
