On April 10th, Huawei officially announced that it will host a new product launch event on April 11th.
It is understood that this launch event will introduce the brand-new Huawei MateBook X Pro, with the theme of the preheated poster being "Light yet Powerful." Here, "powerful" not only refers to performance but also, against the backdrop of the industry transitioning towards intelligent PCs, Huawei's new PC product may also include strengths in AI!
The slogan "Lighter, Stronger, Smarter with AI" indicates that the new Huawei MateBook X Pro will achieve significant breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, providing users with a smarter and more efficient office and learning experience.
The countdown to the obsolescence of traditional computers has begun! The era of AI-powered PCs is here.
With AI models gaining momentum, the industry is poised for a new wave of upgrades with the widespread adoption of AI PCs.
According to the latest forecast data from Canalys, by 2024, global shipments of AI PCs are projected to reach 48 million units, accounting for 18% of the total PC shipments. However, this is just the beginning of the market transformation.
It is estimated that by 2025, shipments of AI PCs will surpass 100 million units, constituting 40% of the total PC shipments. By 2028, shipments of AI PCs are expected to reach 205 million units, with a staggering compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44% during this period.
These AI-integrated PCs come with dedicated accelerators for AI, unlocking new capabilities in productivity, personalization, and energy efficiency, thereby disrupting the entire PC market.
Canalys emphasizes that AI PCs will have a broad and profound impact on the industry for the next five years or even longer. As AI PCs become mainstream, vendors capable of providing innovative and differentiated AI acceleration experiences will have a significant advantage.
Huawei's smart PCs continue to innovate and have already taken the lead in AI exploration.
It's understood that the previous Smartworld S7 had appeared alongside Huawei PCs, highlighting the importance of PCs in Huawei's strategic layout. Recently, Huawei proposed a comprehensive strategy for intelligence, aiming to build a solid computing power base in China. In this grand vision, PCs are an indispensable part of the edge computing power, so Huawei has already started laying out the AI track early on.
As early as when Huawei launched its first laptop, it integrated AI and big data technology into product design, establishing the concept of smart PCs to provide users with a more complete intelligent interaction experience.
In 2016, Huawei introduced the "Mate8+MateBook" new business combination to meet the full-scenario needs of the fashion-forward business era, laying the foundation for the full-scenario smart office ecosystem for PCs.
In 2017, Huawei released the revolutionary next-generation product, Huawei MateBook X, and introduced the Huawei Share feature, providing users with a more convenient data transfer experience. The following year, Huawei further upgraded the Huawei Share feature to version 3.0, breaking down hardware ecosystem barriers.
In 2019, Huawei introduced the Multi-Screen Collaboration feature, enabling seamless connection between smartphones and PCs for a smoother cross-device operation experience.
In 2022, Huawei once again led the industry with the introduction of the "Super Terminal" feature, achieving seamless collaboration between PCs and devices such as smartphones, tablets, headphones, and smart screens, creating a more powerful smart office experience for users.
Huawei's PanGu large model may empower the upcoming Huawei MateBook X Pro, as the 2024 evolution of Huawei's smart PCs approaches. Speculation suggests that this integration will significantly enhance the new product's AI capabilities.
The PanGu Big Model is a fully self-developed AI model by Huawei, which has been applied in over 10 industries and has rolled out more than 2,500 AI solutions across various industry scenarios.
Previously, the new XiaoYi feature in the Huawei Mate 60 series was powered by Huawei's PanGu Big Model technology, enabling better user understanding and providing more precise feedback. This includes native digital content searches, conversation recognition for screen content, assisting users with quick summaries, aiding in text composition, and facilitating secondary creation of images, among other functions.
Applying the Huawei Pangguo large model to the new Huawei MateBook X Pro could potentially offer users a more personalized intelligent interaction experience. For instance, upgrading the voice recognition capabilities would enable users to perform various operations more freely through voice commands, achieving a truly seamless human-computer interaction.
Moreover, integrating the intelligent search experience powered by Huawei Pangguo large model technology would allow users to find information across multiple devices with just a single voice command, further enhancing retrieval efficiency. Additionally, users' learning and office experiences would be thoroughly transformed, such as automatic analysis of reports, writing of reports, and creating presentations, freeing users from mundane tasks.
The new Huawei MateBook X Pro could also bring more efficient super terminal multi-device connectivity, enabling smarter multi-screen collaborative operations through stronger hardware support and intelligent algorithm optimization. This would make our work more efficient and our learning and entertainment more convenient, leading the PC industry towards a more intelligent and user-centric future.
Looking forward to the new Huawei Smart PC bringing us more surprises!
