It is no secret that Huawei had been working on a desktop grade PC for a while now. While leaks and rumors had revealed most of its key specs already, the company has now officially launched the MateStation B515 for the government offices and other enterprises.
The new desktop PC is not available for the commercial market and is being aimed at businesses only. Although, this doesn’t mean that the PC is by any means just basic, as it arrives with a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 4700G processor and a capable Ryzen 5 4600G, both of which are APUs that feature integrated Radeon graphics. Although, an option to upgrade to high performance discrete GPUs is also being offered. It is paired with either 8GB or 16GB of dual channel 3200MHz DDR4 RAM and the cabinet arrives as a set with a smart keyboard and mouse, and display as well. For storage, 1TB of memory is offered via hard drives along with 256GB or 512GB of SSD storage as well.
The cabinet that houses the PC components adopts a grille design on the front but otherwise features a minimalistic aesthetic with a single color scheme. It arrives in matte black, which adds to its business and formal look. The cabinet’s total capacity is just 8 liters, which saves about 2/3 of space over a traditional desktop PC. Huawei also paid special attention to thermal management, equipping hte system with an intelligent temperature control system, which can automatically adjust fan speeds to manage temperatures.

This display arrives with eye protection as well and has even passed the TÜV Rheinland international certification standards. Furthermore, the keyboard also arrives with a compact body with 2.5mm keystrokes on a scissor switch design and 16.05mm large keycaps.
Notably, the keyboard also has built in NFC, which can connect with smartphones through the shift key area, allowing for wireless data transfers from the smartphone to the computer. For security, the keyboard also offers a fingerprint scanner on the power button to safely boot up and unlock the system in a seamless manner.
For connectivity, the Huawei MateStation B515 offers USB Type C, support 9V/2A mobile phone fast charging, USB, HDMI, VGA serial port, and 2×2 dual antenna WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 as well. Unfortunately, since the desktop PC is only available for enterprises, its official pricing was not revealed to the consumer market. But the estimate ranges from 4,999 Yuan to 8,999 Yuan (roughly 760 US Dollars to 1,370 US Dollars) over 5 different configurations.
