Huawei has unveiled its first laptop running its proprietary HarmonyOS 5 operating system, marking a significant step in the company's efforts to reduce reliance on Western technology partners following the expiration of its Microsoft Windows license in March 2025. The new device, named the Matebook Pro 2025, is expected to debut at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2025 on May 20. It features Huawei's in-house Kirin X90 system-on-chip (SoC), which industry observers compare to Apple's Silicon in terms of integration of hardware and software. The HarmonyOS laptop is positioned as a competitor to established operating systems like Windows and macOS, signaling a potential shift in the PC market landscape.

Huawei's move aligns with broader trends of Chinese tech companies developing independent technology ecosystems amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. The Matebook Pro 2025 will also incorporate Huawei's Celia digital assistant. This launch follows the expiration of Huawei's Windows license, which has prompted the company to accelerate its development of a fully self-reliant PC operating system. The HarmonyOS PC operating system was officially launched on May 8, 2025, and the laptop is expected to be available shortly thereafter. This development is part of Huawei's broader strategy to challenge the dominance of US-based software providers in the technology sector.

"There's truly nothing quite like this insanely powerful 14-inch AI laptop, but only a handful of people should buy it." HP's ZBook Ultra 14 (G1a) has a VERY specialized purpose. REVIEW: https://t.co/HxmilzvpkL 💻
