According to the renowned analyst, Ming Chi Kuo, the global demand for Microsoft Windows laptops has grown significantly in early 2020 and will surge further all through March and later in 2020. This arrives despite the impacts on various economies and industries due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Through this growth in Windows laptop, it seems that Huawei‘s notebooks will see a sizeable growth as well, as per Ming Chi Kuo’s reports.

Ming Chi Kuo reported that the latest survey showed that shipments of key components of the Windows laptops are expected to grow in the Q2 of 2020. This rise will be about 20 to 30 percent and will even affect Huawei’s notebook offerings. Reportedly, Huawei’s MateBook series may see an exponential growth that could see unit shipments rise by nearly 100 percent or 6 million units around this time.

It seems that the recent viral outbreak is making more companies push the ‘work from home’ policy which will have laptops become an increasingly popular option.  Thus, Huawei’s own PC shipments are expected to rise by 30-40 percent in the Q2 of 2020. This is impressive considering Huawei is still relatively new in the PC market. Back in 2019, Huawei had revealed that its Huawei notebooks sales had grown by 249 percent over 2018.

These numbers reflect notable year on year growth for Huawei’s multiple notebook lineup, including the Matebook, MateBook X/ Pro, MateBook D, E and MateBook 13 and 14 as well. The Chinese tech giants laptop offerings are generally thin and lightweight and offer attractive specs that make them a viable option for a Windows laptop, especially in China due to its lucrative domestic pricing, specs, and features.

Ming Chi Kuo’s report also stated that the new trend of work from home will only help and curb the further spreading of the viral infection and will help normalize things faster. Additionally, the Windows laptop offerings are important productivity took and the shipments in the near future are also likely to prove to be better than the current market expectations.

According to a new report, Huawei has begun market research for desktop computers. Huawei is already well known for its wide array of consumer grade electronics products which include smartphones and even laptops. So, desktop computers might be another area the company plans on investing in.

Huawei’s MateBook series laptops have successfully been received by many customers. Currently, these are one of the only products that are compatible with Microsoft’s Windows OS. Notably, Huawei has previously launched desktop computers in the past but those have been exclusive for commercial enterprises. So, the upcoming Huawei desktop computers might be the first from the company that is aimed at mainstream consumers.

The news about Huawei’s market research was shared online by a Weibo user. It also mentioned that the company is performing surveys. These survey reports are made by inviting multiple volunteers and asking for their views and requirements on Huawei building a desktop computer. Thus, it can be surmised that the company might have already started with building prototypes of such PCs.

The post on the Chinese microblogging website also shared the technical specifications of Huawei’s desktop computers. The PC is equipped with Kunpeng 920S processor (an indigenously built processor from Huawei) and supports up to 64GB of RAM. It also features a dedicated graphics card which indicates it might a gaming desktop or be offered in variants specialized for gaming.

Since commercial computers have been successful in various corporations, the company is also planning on increasing the production capacity to meet the market demand. Unfortunately, the news has yet to be made official by Huawei and there are no concrete confirmations. So, readers can take this with a grain of salt.

Earlier this month, we saw Huawei’s device roadmap for 2015. However, in the list, there were no Windows smartphones. Finally today, Huawei’s Chief Marketing Officer, Shao Yang confirmed that Huawei has no plans for a Windows 10 device.

So, users who would have liked to see a Huawei Windows 10 device will definitely be disappointed with this news.The main reason for not developing a Windows Phone device is the lack of customization options.

According to Shao Yang, Microsoft’s OS doesn’t allow a lot of changes to its UI which makes it hard to differentiate between any two phones running the platform. They all look similar and there’s no way to make Huawei’s Windows phone devices unique. As a result, the company decided not to release a Windows 10 smartphone this year.

However, he did say that the company may look into developing a Windows tablet. Surface has been quite popular in US and a device like that from Huawei too could give a chance for the company to make a mark in the tablet industry. But he added that if the company does release a W10 device, it would most probably run dual OS, running W10 and Android platform together.

Yang didn’t give a time frame of such a possibility, but if Huawei develops such a device, expect a launch only by the year end or maybe even next year.
