[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, a digital blogger broke the news that Huawei will soon launch five new laptops equipped with Linux systems, including the 2024 model of MateBook D 14, D 16, 14, GT 14 and X Pro.

Some analysts say that as an open source system, Linux does not need to pay authorization fees, which can significantly reduce the cost of the entire machine. For example, Huawei launched the MateBook 14 Linux version in 2019 attracts consumers with its price advantage, and some models are priced at about hundreds of yuan lower than the Windows version. The pricing of this new product may continue this strategy, especially in mid-range product lines such as the D series, the Linux version is expected to further lower the entry threshold.
On the other hand, for Huawei, there is also uncertainty in Windows system authorization. The launch of Linux version products can reduce dependence on external software and pave the way for the expansion of HarmonyOS on the PC side. The MateBook X Pro released in 2024 is equipped with Huawei Pangu big model to show its AI technology integration capabilities. Linux’s openness makes it easier for Huawei to deeply customize the system and enhance cross-device collaboration functions, such as hyper-terminals and smart voice.
It is more worth mentioning that Linux systems have a wide demand in professional fields such as developers and scientific research. Huawei can attract technical users through the combination of high-performance hardware and Linux. In addition, overseas markets have a high acceptance of open source systems, which will also help expand global share.
Huawei has achieved multi-terminal collaboration in mobile phones, tablets and other devices through the Hongmeng ecosystem. In the future, it will gradually import the Hongmeng system into PCs to build a completely independent software and hardware system.
