Huawei Qingyun series of computers are sold exclusively to enterprises and government agencies in China. The company is known to experiment more with these devices rather than consumer-facing Mate-branded computers. Back in 2021, the firm released Qingyun L410 as its first-ever ARM-powered laptop. This notebook featured a Kirin 990 SoC inside. At the end of that year, Huawei launched yet another ARM laptop called Qingyun L420 powered by a Kirin 9006C chip.
Now, two years later, Huawei has unveiled
its third ARM laptop dubbed Qingyun L540. This new notebook is powered by the
same HiSilicon Kirin 9006C chip as the second model. Huawei’s third ARM laptop
again comes in a single 14-inch variant like its predecessors. It also retains
the metal body which has a thickness of 15.9mm and weighs 1.45kg.
The notebook sports an IPS LCD panel. The
screen offers a resolution of 2160 x 1440 pixels and can cover 100% of the sRGB
color gamut. As mentioned above, the device houses a Kirin 9006C chipset. Not
much is known about this silicon, except that it is built on a 5nm process and
its CPU is clocked at 3.13GHz.
As for software, Huawei ships the computer
with two different operating systems. It comes preloaded with either of these
two Linus distros, namely KOS (Kirin Operating System) and UOS (Unity Operating
System). The laptop is MIL-STD-810G compliant for durability. It comes with 1 x
USB Type-C, 2 x USB Type-A, an HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a mini RJ45
port.
Lastly, the notebook draws energy from a
56Wh battery and supports 65W charging. Huawei Qingyun arrives in three memory
configurations. The prices of these variants differ based on the customized
software suite ordered by clients.
