But, this should also turn the heads of other major manufacturers to follow the suite, at least for specific countries to start with. + +### Huawei **Qingyun L410**: Overview + +Huawei’s own Kirin 990 processor powers the **Huawei Qingyun L410** laptop as originally spotted by [ITHome][1] to be listed in an e-commerce website in China. While it is a fairly old 8-core ARM chip originally meant for its flagship smartphones, it is a good start. + +![Image Credits: JD.com / Huawei Qingyun L410][2] + +You will find a webcam pop up integrated to the keyboard along with a fingerprint sensor that also acts as the power button. + +It packs in 8 GB of RAM and offers up to 512 GB storage. + +There’s no official listing for the specifications of this laptop, but it is very similar to [Huawei’s MateBook 14][3]. + +The laptop comes pre-installed with [Unity OS][4], which is a Deepin-based Linux distribution initially developed as part of a government initiative in China to move away from big foreign tech giants. + +ITHome also believes that it will be replaced by [Harmony OS][5] in the near future. And, that won’t be a surprise considering Huawei wants to have a seamless experience across its smartphone and laptops in the process of ditching Google services and Microsoft’s Windows. + +Especially, considering other manufacturers like Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and others also [interested to use Harmony OS][6], this is bound to happen. + +Also, it will be available with/without an OS as per the customer’s requirement. + +### Availability & Pricing + +While everything sounds exciting, **this laptop hasn’t been official announced** and **not available outside China**. It is only available for enterprises and government agencies in China. + +I know it is a bummer for a laptop that runs Linux to start with. However, companies like Huawei usually launch a different model for global markets — so there’s still hope. + +In case you did not know, you still have [places to buy Linux laptops][7] available outside China, but a MateBook with Linux sounds pretty exciting. + +As of now, the laptop without any OS pre-installed is priced at **¥8,181 ($1,276)**, and the one with Unity OS costs **¥8,944 ($1,395)** as reported by [GizmoChina][8]. + +_Other than this, we do not have any official information on it, but I think this will be something interesting to keep an eye on.
