Having successfully released a new challenger to the ThinkPad X1 Fold in 2025, Huawei is now reportedly thinking about augmenting its MateBook portfolio with a rival for the latest Microsoft Surface Pro convertible PC.
The new “MateBook E” could integrate with a user’s new MateBook Pro or Pura 80 Ultra better than ever before by dropping Windows for HarmonyOS 5, touted to make mobile, smartphone or PC apps interchangeable in order to flow easily from device to device.
The putative “2-in-1” might be the first of its line to run on either the Kirin X70 or even the X90 of the MateBook Fold.
On the other hand, Huawei has not updated its MateBook E series since 2023, as they seem to have become overtaken by the keyboard-enabled MatePad line over the last few years. The latest version of these tablets is also graced with a PaperMatte panel for its 11.5-inch screen.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
