华为 (Huawei) has launched a new product lineup in the past few days. The day before yesterday saw the release of the Huawei Watch界 (Wen Jie) M9 smartwatch, along with smart bracelets. Yesterday, a range of large TVs, priced from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and a smart door lock priced at 3299, were introduced. Today’s highlight, yet to be listed on the Huawei Mall, is the Huawei MateBook X Pro laptop, which will be unveiled at the HarmonyOS Spring Communication Conference.
Yu Chengdong also shared this product, stating that it’s a flagship among new laptops, combining slim design with high performance. Moreover, it supports the Huawei Pangu AI model, enhancing the AI experience. It seems that this laptop targets the high-end market, integrating AI features and further expanding Huawei’s influence with the Pangu AI model.
The previous model of the Huawei MateBook X Pro is currently priced at 7999 yuan. With upgrades across all aspects in this new series, the price is expected to rise. Huawei, known for its innovation, has not been in the laptop market for long, but its current achievements are remarkable. Huawei’s quality and research and development efforts have made significant strides in various fields.
In 2023, Huawei made a remarkable entry into the top three in the domestic PC market, with shipments reaching 3.986 million units, capturing a 10% market share, an 11% increase compared to the previous year. Traditionally, established giants like Lenovo, Sharp, and Dell have dominated the PC market. Huawei’s consecutive two-year presence and its achievement of entering the top three in 2023 are indeed remarkable.
Continuously innovating is a major characteristic of Huawei’s products. Features such as slim design, high performance, and the addition of the AI Pangu model will enhance its competitiveness.
Beyond smartphones and computers, Huawei’s consumer terminals are flourishing. Yesterday, Huawei Mall also listed its new smart TV products. In the domestic TV market, especially in the high-end segment, Huawei dominates. In the 30,000 yuan price range for high-end TVs, Huawei occupies nearly half of the market share, leading with a strong 46% market share, far ahead of second-place Hisense with 21%, third-place Samsung with 20%, and fourth-place Sony with 12%.
In the 20,000 yuan price range, Huawei ranked first from October 1st to the end of February last year, selling around 25,000 units, surpassing many super giants such as TCL, Hisense, Samsung, and Sony.
Huawei’s product lineup continues to blossom. Many series of products from Huawei have been leading the industry or even topping the charts. With a research and development investment of 1.1 trillion yuan over ten years, Huawei’s R&D expenditure reached 164.7 billion yuan in 2023. With such massive R&D investment, Huawei’s R&D patents rank among the top in the world. These numerous R&D patents are applied to various products, achieving such results through years of research and innovation.
