Huawei aren’t a company that’s enjoying a particularly good time of late, given political tensions between them and the U.S. government in particular, which means you’ll struggle to buy one of their laptops in the U.S. at present. Still, European consumers can still usually pick them up.

The company announced the Huawei Super Device technology, which enables seamless connections between mobile phones, tablets, PC monitors as well as a new MateBook X Pro, which is the premium model in their laptop line, a 2-in-1 laptop in the form of the MateBook E (which can switch between tablet and laptop form factors), and a MateStation X all-in-one desktop.

Specifically, we’re talking about a 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop, a device that will combine elements of the MacBook and iPad, with a foldable hinge allowing you to switch from one form factor to another.
