Newshot Huawei's First HarmonyOS Small Foldable Laptop, the MateBook Fold S, Opens for Pre-order
IT Home, November 14 — Huawei's first HarmonyOS small foldable laptop, the MateBook Fold S, officially opened for pre-order today at 10:08 (IT Home note: the price has not been announced; only a 1,500 yuan national subsidy was mentioned, suggesting a price above 9,999 yuan). It is available in three colors — Phantom Night Black, Skyline White, and Cloud Sea Blue — and four storage versions, with the balance due on November 24:
- 16GB/256GB (includes keyboard + sleeve)
- 16GB/512GB (includes keyboard + sleeve)
- 24GB/512GB (includes keyboard + sleeve)
- 32GB/1TB (includes keyboard + stylus + sleeve)
The product adopts a vertically oriented small-size foldable form factor, shrinking the body of a foldable PC to roughly the size of a book, targeting commuting, travel, and mobile office scenarios. When unfolded, the MateBook Fold S is a complete 14.7-inch screen that can accommodate document processing, split-screen multi-window, and other office scenarios.
The outside of the body features a secondary screen called the "Live Small Square Screen." In the folded state, this screen can still light up to display the time, notifications, and schedule information, and supports lightweight information viewing and quick operations, making up for the shortcoming of traditional foldable computers being completely unable to interact once closed. The outer screen layout is similar to the Huawei Pura X foldable phone, with three cutouts at the top and an "AI CAMERA" marking next to the lens.
The body cover uses UTG ultra-thin glass, and the hinge continues Huawei's Xuanwu Water Drop hinge, which the company says supports flat opening and closing and multi-angle hovering. Three colors are offered — Cloud Sea Blue, Skyline White, and Phantom Night Black — with Cloud Sea Blue featuring a two-tone design.
In terms of core specifications, according to teaser information, the MateBook Fold S is powered by the self-developed Kirin X9 series processor, runs the latest version of the HarmonyOS PC system, and supports multi-screen collaboration, tablet drawing mode, and the M-Pencil stylus. The Notepad app and WPS Office have integrated new AI capabilities, though specific feature details have not yet been fully disclosed.
