Today evening, Yu Chengdong, a senior vice president of Huawei, admitted the rumor of "Huawei laptop" on his microblog. He said, "The notebook market is quite mature and the user market is very stable. Our participation will bring new inspiration for notebook innovation!"
It is known that Huawei has released Huawei's promotional poster for MWC 2016 on February 21, in which "The new style of business" is shown It means "new business". Combined with the previous news, there is no doubt that Huawei will show us their first notebook computer at MWC 2016, and notebook PC business is just a "new style of business" for Huawei.
Rumors about mobile phone manufacturers entering the PC market are not new. As early as two years ago, Xiaomi said that he wanted to be a notebook. Xiaomi officials said that they had no intention of doing so for the time being. Huawei, as the first person to eat crab, is obviously more suitable. Notebooks are different from mobile phones. They have higher requirements for cost, production lines, channel providers, etc. The threshold for entry is obviously not high enough for ordinary companies. There have always been several PC manufacturers coming and going in the notebook PC business, and their market position seems to be very solid and hard to shake.
As a latecomer, Huawei is no less influential than Lenovo, Acer, Asus and other old PC manufacturers in terms of brand influence, but lacks experience and technology. Just as Xiaomi Mobile Phone 1 was released at the beginning, the first Huawei laptop is a crucial step for Huawei's PC business.
