Huawei Debuts First 100% Domestic HarmonyOS Desktop PC, Intensifying Pressure on Intel and Qualcomm in China

Huawei unveiled the Qingyun HM650 series, its first desktop computer running the HarmonyOS operating system, at the HarmonyOS Office Industry Summit in Wuhan on November 5, 2026. The machine features the Kirin X90 processor, Maleoon 910 graphics, and is certified as 100% domestically produced with no Intel, Qualcomm, or Windows components, targeting enterprise, finance, government, and energy sectors. It includes a dedicated Celia AI key and enterprise-focused features like dual personal/enterprise spaces. Huawei reported that cumulative HarmonyOS PC shipments have surpassed one million units, building on 141,000 units shipped in 2025. This launch follows the revocation of US export licenses for chips to Huawei and the expiration of its Windows license, accelerating Beijing's mandate for 'safe and reliable' domestic processors and OS in government and state-owned enterprises by 2027. The Kirin X90, fabricated on SMIC's 7nm process, underscores ongoing efforts in China's semiconductor self-reliance amid US sanctions. Multiple outlets, including South China Morning Post and Huawei's own channels, confirm the specs and context of this shift away from Wintel dominance.
