Huawei has launched a desktop computer made with 100% Chinese components, touting the device as 100 per cent domestically made
, The Register reported.
The Qingyun HM650 debuted this week at the HarmonyOS Office Industry Summit 2026 amid Beijing’s push to replace Wintel systems in government offices, The Register reported. The device will primarily target enterprise and government customers.
The machine runs Huawei’s own Kirin X90 processor and an enterprise version of HarmonyOS. The Kirin X90 chipset was launched last year with the MateBook Pro, Huawei’s first HarmonyOS laptop. One Chinese government agency has signed up for 600 units, according to The Register. The desktop uses domestic components from chipsets to the battery and features a dual heat dissipation architecture made with Chinese parts.
Huawei’s PC and tablet president Zhu Dongdong said the HM650 series combines several components to achieve 100% domestic certification
, Huawei Central reported. He added that the device uses in-house chips, a self-developed operating system, and large-scale manufacturing of general-purpose hardware, helped by China’s broader computer supply chain.
600 Machines for Government Buyers
The HM650 series has become China’s first desktop computer to obtain 100% domestic certification.
Certification Leaves Design Questions Open
Notebookcheck reported that Zhejiang Kezheng Electronic Information Product Inspection verified the 100% domestic claim, confirming the parts are manufactured in China. The certification covers components from the processor to memory modules, though its exact scope remains unclear. The Register cautioned that many foreign companies run factories there, so it remains unclear whether every component uses Chinese designs.
Kirin X90 Features Ten Cores and HarmonyOS Enterprise Build
The Kirin X90 is a ten-core, 20-thread chip clocked at 2.3 GHz, The Register reported. The chip carries Grade II security and reliability certification. The desktop runs a newly developed enterprise HarmonyOS build, pre-installing HarmonyOS V1.0 for enterprise users, and includes Huawei’s Xiaoyi AI assistant for document creation and meeting transcription, Notebookcheck reported.
The assistant can also help users find information, organize files, generate summaries, share files, and integrate with compatible Huawei devices, though some AI features require an internet connection and an additional subscription.
Chipmakers Risk Losing China Bids
The debut is bad news for Intel, AMD and Qualcomm, The Register reported. All three are struggling as the PC market shrinks amid rising memory costs, and China’s government is an enormous buyer.
Common Questions About the Qingyun HM650
The Qingyun HM650 uses Huawei’s Kirin X90 processor. The desktop uses Huawei’s Kirin X90, a ten-core, 20-thread processor with a 2.3 GHz clock speed, The Register reported.
Not necessarily. Notebookcheck noted the certification confirms domestic manufacturing, while The Register reported that it is unclear if all components use Chinese designs.
A single Chinese government agency has ordered 600 machines, The Register reported, under Beijing’s directive to shift agencies away from Wintel systems.
