On the afternoon of May 19, 2025, at 14:30, Huawei held a press conference for the nova 14 series and Hongmeng computer new products, officially launching Hongmeng computers, marking the full opening of the Hongmeng era for smart terminals. Here’s an introduction to the two Hongmeng computers released:
- HUAWEI MateBook Pro: Equipped with HarmonyOS 5 and adopting the new-generation Huawei Yunsun architecture, the whole machine weighs only 970 grams and is just 13.5 millimeters thick, balancing portability and powerful performance while delivering strong heat dissipation and battery life, setting a new performance benchmark for the lightweight laptop market. It is also the industry’s first laptop with an OLED Eye-Care Cloud-Translucent Soft Screen, providing a smooth, clear, color-accurate, real-to-life, and comfortable visual experience that is gentle on the eyes. Integrating multiple innovative technologies, including the Xiaoyi Smart Key “One-Touch AI” mode, it offers users a seamless experience. Prices start at 7,999 yuan.

- HUAWEI MateBook Fold Ultimate Master: As Huawei’s first computer with an innovative form factor, the world’s thinnest commercial foldable computer to date, and the world’s largest commercial foldable screen computer, it uses industry-leading foldable screen technology and lightweight craftsmanship to create the current largest 18-inch commercial foldable computer globally. When unfolded, it is only 7.3mm thick and weighs 1.16kg. When folded, the whole machine is smaller than 13 inches, easily fitting into a business tote bag. Equipped with an 18-inch immersive large screen, it delivers a peak visual experience on a foldable screen with 3.3K high resolution, 1,600 nits peak brightness, and more, offering a more realistic, clear, and comfortable viewing experience. This computer adopts the more challenging waterdrop-shaped hinge technical path. Through a design of a single main shaft and three-segment hinge, it achieves the largest-sized, thinnest, and technically complex foldable hinge in the industry. With the Hongmeng operating system, it brings a smoother, smarter, and more efficient multi-interaction system ecosystem. Prices start at 23,999 yuan.

Hongmeng computers offer multiple advantages:
- Autonomous and Controllable Operating System: The HarmonyOS 5 operating system is rebuilt from the kernel layer, achieving independent research and development and autonomous control, filling a technical gap in China and marking a key breakthrough in the core technology field of operating systems for China’s computer industry.
- Powerful AI Capabilities: It achieves deep integration of AI with the operating system, allowing AI functions to be activated without an internet connection. Users can use voice commands to instruct the smart assistant “Xiaoyi” to complete tasks such as computer setup and document creation, and there is also an innovative meeting intelligent reminder function.
- Exceptional Full-Scenario Collaboration: Relying on self-developed distributed soft bus technology, it enables cross-device collaboration, continuity, and sharing. For example, keyboard and mouse sharing among mobile phones, computers, and tablets allows meeting content and files to continue operating across multiple devices, as well as fast transmission of large files.
- Comprehensive Security Capabilities: Using the new Star Shield security architecture, the Hongmeng kernel has obtained the international CC EAL6+ security certification, rebuilding computer privacy and data security from the bottom up to ensure user data safety.
Currently, Hongmeng computer applications cover multiple vertical fields, including general office work, design and creation, utility tools, finance and wealth management, audio-visual entertainment, education and learning, and gaming. More than 150 leading exclusive computer ecosystem applications are being rapidly adapted, and over 300 integrated ecosystem applications have been adapted. It is expected to support more than 2,000 applications by the end of the year.
