MateBook Neo Price details have appeared in a new leak suggesting Huawei may launch an affordable HarmonyOS powered laptop designed to compete directly with Apple’s newest entry level MacBook. The device could offer strong specifications while maintaining a lower price than its main rival.
According to a well known Weibo tipster, Huawei is preparing two new HarmonyOS powered PCs for release during the first half of the year. These devices could also introduce changes to Huawei’s laptop naming strategy.
One of these upcoming models is expected to be the MateBook Neo, which could target budget conscious buyers while still offering high performance hardware.
Huawei plans two HarmonyOS laptops
The leak suggests Huawei may release two laptops in the coming months as part of its expanding HarmonyOS ecosystem.
One of these devices may replace the current MateBook 14 naming structure. Instead of including display size numbers, Huawei could simplify the product name and call the device simply MateBook.
Reports indicate this model could cost around or slightly above 5000 yuan.
Meanwhile, the second device appears to be the MateBook Neo. This model would target the more affordable segment of the laptop market.
MateBook Neo Price could undercut Apple
The leaked MateBook Neo Price suggests Huawei may launch the laptop at around 4000 yuan.
If accurate, the device would be significantly cheaper than Apple’s newly introduced MacBook Neo. Apple’s laptop reportedly launched at about 4599 yuan and currently represents the company’s most affordable MacBook.
Huawei may attempt to capture budget buyers by offering similar performance at a lower price point.
This approach could strengthen Huawei’s competitiveness in the PC market, particularly within China where the company maintains strong brand recognition.
Hardware upgrades may strengthen value
Despite its expected lower cost, the new Huawei laptop could include impressive hardware specifications.
According to the leak, the device may feature up to 24GB of RAM and offer storage options reaching 1TB.
These specifications would place the laptop ahead of many entry level computers currently available in the market.
However, the processor powering the laptop remains unclear.
Some industry observers believe Huawei could use a high performance smartphone processor. Others suggest the company may rely on its X90 series chips for the device.
Until Huawei confirms the hardware, these details remain speculative.

HarmonyOS ecosystem expands to PCs
Huawei continues expanding the reach of its HarmonyOS ecosystem beyond smartphones and tablets.
The company has been developing HarmonyOS based computers designed to integrate seamlessly with other Huawei devices.
These systems aim to provide a unified user experience where files, apps, and notifications move easily between devices.
This ecosystem strategy mirrors Apple’s approach with macOS and iOS integration.
Huawei hopes HarmonyOS powered laptops will strengthen its overall device ecosystem and attract users who already rely on Huawei smartphones.
Launch details remain uncertain
Although the MateBook Neo Price leak has generated attention, Huawei has not confirmed any details regarding the device.
The company has not announced the official specifications, launch schedule, or pricing of the rumored laptop.
If the timeline mentioned in the leak proves accurate, Huawei could reveal the new HarmonyOS laptops within the first half of the year.
Until then, more information will likely emerge as additional leaks and official announcements appear in the coming months.
