"we have traveled the path that foreign operating systems have taken for more than ten years in just one year." looking back on the journey of hongmeng os, yu chengdong said. he then introduced that huawei currently invites public beta users to provide feedback and suggestions through the "my huawei" app - "fen community" to contribute to hongmeng os, and hopes to work with every user and partner to build and share the new world of hongmeng os.

in addition to the public beta of "pure hongmeng" on mobile phones and tablets, news has also come out about the hongmeng system on pcs. yu chengdong said during a recent visit to cctv news live that the current huawei pcs may be the last batch of laptops equipped with windows systems, and there will be pc products with hongmeng systems in the future.

it is understood that in the design guide of huawei's harmonyos developer website, in addition to mobile phones and tablets, the "hongmeng pc version" page layout has appeared, and the adapted applications cover audio and video, social networking, photography, reading, shopping, finance, life, travel and other usage scenarios. the "hongmeng pc version" has not yet announced the complete page design details. through the design specifications, it can be seen that the pc version displays status bar information in the upper right corner of the screen, including input method, volume, battery capacity and time, etc.; at the bottom is the application dock bar, which contains resident functions and applications.

in addition, the harmonyos 2-in-1 device application design guide has demonstrated various application ui interface demonstrations such as efficiency and immersion, and provided multiple interface cases, including weather apps and file explorers. overall, the harmonyos pc version reflects a simpler and more convenient layout than windows, and can effectively utilize space and display by adjusting the interface. it is expected to bring a better interconnection experience with mobile phones and tablets, and further build the harmonyos ecosystem.

industry insiders said that huawei has already reached cooperation with leading domestic software manufacturers, and some mainstream office software can run on huawei hongmeng pc. we can look forward to how hongmeng pc will perform in terms of system ecology and multi-device collaboration capabilities in the future.
