While on the international stage we perceive a brand that has lost something, in reality in China a true revolution branded by Huawei is underway. The tech giant has taken advantage of the problematic US ban to pursue the path of independence: born almost as a fork of Android, HarmonyOS NEXT version has freed itself from any link with the OS of the green robot.
The same happened with Windows: the company has long since launched HarmonyOS for PC, also presenting various hardware solutions. And now it is preparing to take another step forward, with the announcement of the first desktop PCs with a proprietary system.
The announcement arrived on the occasion of the third day of this year's Huawei Developer Conference (HDC 2026). The event opened grandly with the presentation of HarmonyOS 7.0 and now yet another novelty.
Zhu Dongdong – President of the division responsible for tablets and PCs – confirmed that commercial desktop computers with HarmonyOS will be officially presented in September. Tests for companies will begin in July/August, so surely we will have some details in advance during the summer months.
At the moment the Chinese manufacturer has several notebooks with HarmonyOS for PC, launched during the past months. The HM740 model is designed specifically for business users, while HM940 is the slim and minimalist solution for the consumer world; MatePad Edge uses the system in hybrid version, being a 2-in-1, while MateBook Fold was the first laptop ever to mount HarmonyOS in PC version (and not wanting to miss anything it is a foldable laptop with an 18-inch display).
Huawei aims to conquer the computer market. With its new line of desktop PCs, the company now covers almost every category of devices, leaving out only the gaming sector.
For the moment, this expansion remains exclusive to the Chinese market. There are no official plans for the international debut of this hardware or of HarmonyOS, the proprietary operating system. Yet curiosity is high: could Huawei’s ecosystem manage to overturn the global dominance of Windows on PCs and Android on smartphones?
