Huawei is making a serious push into enterprise computing with dedicated commercial versions of its HarmonyOS-powered desktop PCs. It’s a big step for the company’s homegrown operating system, moving well beyond phones and tablets into the business world, where many companies are looking for secure, independent alternatives.
At the recent Huawei Developer Conference (HDC 2026), during the “HarmonyOS Office” sub-forum, Zhu Dongdong, President of Huawei’s Terminal Tablet and PC Product Line, confirmed that the commercial HarmonyOS desktops will officially launch in September. He also mentioned that testing and trial runs for businesses should begin around July or August, giving companies a chance to try them out early.
Huawei has already launched two models for this push: the HM740 and HM940. These aren’t just regular consumer PCs running HarmonyOS. They’re specially modified for business use, with stronger security features and a dedicated security chip to meet enterprise standards for data protection and compliance.
Take the HM740, for example. It measures just 14.5mm in thickness and weighs only 1.32kg. Yet, it offers a solid battery life of up to 21 hours. On the surface, it includes a 14.2-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Huawei also added handy enterprise touches like digital dual-space separation to keep work and personal stuff apart. These machines are a natural extension of Huawei’s growing HarmonyOS ecosystem, which now spans phones, tablets, and PCs.
This move shows how serious Huawei is about expanding in the PC space. Shipments of HarmonyOS PCs are expected to grow nicely in 2026 as the company builds a full-stack, secure computing environment that doesn’t rely on traditional Western operating systems.
For businesses in China, and potentially other markets down the line, these commercial desktops offer a maturing alternative that puts security, customization, and ecosystem smoothness front and center. Full specs for the September launch models are still under wraps, but the announcement makes one thing clear: Huawei is determined to turn HarmonyOS into a complete platform.
