A previous report suggests that Huawei is working on several new laptops powered by its in-house Kirin SoC. The company itself has confirmed its plans for a desktop PC powered by its HiSilicon ARM chip. And now details about this upcoming laptop leak.
Weibo revealed a photo of the notebook’s box, thereby hinting at an imminent launch for the device and revealing some key specs of the notebook.
–Weibo’s image shows the laptop to be powered by the Kirin 990 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD for storage.
–The laptop is also shown to come with a decently sized 14-inch display with support for up to 1080p resolutions.
–The leaked image also shows that the Huawei laptop will come running the Linux-based Deepin OS 20; however, it is expected that the laptop — like others from Huawei, will transition to HarmonyOS in the future.
The leak also reveals the laptop’s name, which has been revealed to be called the Qingyun L410. The leaks add that the laptop is expected to be a cheaper version of the existing MateBook 14. Further, it is said that there’s also the possibility of the device coming with 5G connectivity given that the SoC itself features an integrated 5G modem.
Though there is no clarity on the chipset being used here, the laptop is expected to come with a Kirin 990 SoC, which has been used on the company’s flagships over the last few months. Currently, users of Huawei P40, P40 Pro, Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, and MatePad Pro are already being signed up to test the HarmonyOS 2.0 developer beta version. The beta brings several new features to developers to build their apps in the ecosystem of their choice. It also adds 50+ UI controls for developers to develop mobile HarmonyOS applications. It also unifies the UI interaction experience of multiple devices.
