Huawei recently unveiled its MateBook X Pro 2024 Linux Edition, which is presently only available in China. This model is priced CN\u00a5300 lower than the Windows version, primarily due to the absence of a Windows license fee and additional government subsidies aimed at promoting domestic technology. Consumers in China can benefit from an additional CN\u00a52000 discount as part of a national initiative to support local tech products.<\/p>\n
The MateBook X Pro 2024 features the same hardware as its Windows counterpart, but with some notable differences. It’s powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, incorporates 16GB or 32GB of RAM, and comes with a 1TB SSD. The laptop is equipped with a 14.2-inch OLED display boasting a resolution of 3120 x 2080, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and impressive brightness and contrast ratios.<\/p>\n
In terms of connectivity, the laptop offers three USB Type-C ports, although the two on the left are not confirmed as Thunderbolt 4 compatible under Linux. Features such as the webcam and fingerprint reader are currently not supported in Linux.<\/p>\n
Regarding the operating system, the official Huawei page references simply "Linux version," but there are mentions of HarmonyOS. It is likely that this device runs on Kylin Desktop OS, a Linux distribution used commonly in China.<\/p>\n
If you’re interested in purchasing the MateBook X Pro 2024 Linux Edition, it is available through various online platforms in China, including Huawei Mall. Outside of China, availability may be limited, but the Windows edition can sometimes be purchased internationally and could potentially run Linux, depending on hardware support.<\/p>\n
