Huawei just proved that Windows may no longer be untouchable in China’s premium laptop market.
In this video, we break down how Huawei built HarmonyOS, an operating system with no Android underneath it and no Windows license behind it, and how it managed to capture 70% of China’s high-end laptop market within months of launch.
You’ll learn why Microsoft and Google dominated operating systems for decades, why building a third major operating system has destroyed so many companies before, and how the 2019 U.S. restrictions forced Huawei to build a software ecosystem it could fully control.
We also explain how HarmonyOS evolved from smart screens and wearables into HarmonyOS Next, why removing Android compatibility should have collapsed the platform, and how Huawei still managed to push the system across hundreds of millions of devices before bringing it to laptops.
This is not just a story about Huawei laptops. It is a story about Windows, Android, HarmonyOS, software independence, app ecosystems, sanctions, China’s tech industry, and the race to control the operating systems that power everyday devices.
