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.

Arriving at the monitor, it is a 23.8 inch display with narrow bezels on every side and a high screen to body ratio of 90 percent, and a resolution of 1920x1080px. 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.

A few months ago, in July to be precise, we reported that Huawei had applied for a trademark for “Huawei MateStation”. We guessed the trademark was related to a dock for the Mate 40 series, something similar to Samsung’s Dex Station. Turns out our guess was far from correct. The Huawei MateStation is a desktop PC and the first model is the MateStation B515 which has just leaked.

Huawei made its entry into the PC business a few years ago but it has kept the category limited to notebooks. With the Huawei MateStation B515, it has officially announced its entry into the desktop category.

The new computer is going to be a big deal as it will most likely not be powered by a CPU from Intel or AMD but a Kirin processor that is based on ARM architecture, just like Apple’s M1 silicon. That processor is the Kunpeng 920.

The 7nm Kunpeng 920 processor is the name of the CPU and it comes in 4-core and 8-core configurations with a clock speed of 2.6GHz. Images posted by the Chinese leaker, Changan Digital King, show a desktop board based on the processor. He speculates that this may be the board that will be found in the MateStation B515.

The specs of the board mention that it has 4 DDR4-2400 UDIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 64GB. It also has 6 SATA 3.0 hard drive interfaces, 2 M.2 SSD slots; 1 PCIe 3.0 x 16, 1 PCIe 3.0 x4, and 1 PCIe 3.0 x1 slots; 4 USB 3. ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, and 2 LOM NIC supporting GE network ports or optical ports.

The MateStation B515 is said to come bundled with a 23.8-inch monitor with narrow bezels that measure 5.72 mm, a 1920 x 1080 resolution, a 178° field of view, and a 72% NTSC color gamut.

The MateStation B515 will most likely be marketed towards use in offices and professional spaces, allowing it to compete with workstations from Lenovo, Dell, and HP.
