Unbounded immersion vision, ultra-thin body lines, forging shadow moire texture, black gold waist line outline, elegant plain leather material and other elements interweave, branding the pursuit of "extreme aesthetics and craftsmanship" in the extraordinary master series in every detail. The deep forging shadow, the pure white sky and the smart cloud and water blue are available, providing users with different styles with high-definition aesthetic choices. ?
?New height of productivity, reconstructing smart PC interaction on one screen and two sides?
In fact, the birth of the extraordinary master of ??HUAWEI ??MateBook Fold goes far beyond the breakthrough of morphological innovation-
As the first HarmonyOS folding computer, its HarmonyOS system reconstructs interactive logic from the bottom: it intelligently recognizes multiple input modes such as touch screen, keyboard and mouse, touchpad, and automatically matches intuitive response modes. Touch is no longer a simple substitute for the mouse, but an independent optimization for each interaction dimension: the smooth dynamic effect of opening the application, the accurate feedback of dragging elements, and the natural transition of zooming content are all deeply integrated with the folding form, breaking the use boundary of traditional computers and making the operation as smooth as fingertips. For example, its unique gesture interaction function, "three fingers flick" can realize window circulation, "five fingers open" can easily switch window modes, and "eight fingers tap" can adjust the virtual keyboard. In addition, the full-size virtual keyboard, full-size virtual touchpad, 8-finger natural gesture tuning, ultra-thin linear motor pseudo-real keystroke feedback, advanced anti-misoperation algorithm and support for personalized customization have further improved the user’s input experience. ?
The folding dual-screen design of the extraordinary master ?HUAWEI ??MateBook Fold reconstructs the office logic with "one screen and two sides": in the folded state, the upper and lower screens are independent as separate desktops, which supports the flexible division of dual workspaces. Whether it is document comparison, data verification or multi-task parallel processing, the efficiency can jump through the cooperation of dual screens. The adaptive rotation function of the window is particularly intelligent-when the horizontal screen is unfolded to the folded state, the window automatically avoids the central axis and adapts to the lower screen position; When the equipment is unfolded, the original window layout can be accurately restored, ensuring that the operation is coherent without breakpoints. ?
With the deep integration of AI in HarmonyOS, the equipment becomes an intelligent assistant: the secretary of Xiaoyi conference can transcribe the meeting contents and generate minutes in real time; the knowledge space of Xiaoyi supports one-click AI search for document pictures; the assistant of Xiaoyi document can generate PPT and mind map by voice; and the expert and translation function of Xiaoyi equipment make the system operation and language conversion more convenient. ?
There is also fluency at the system level: the Ark graphics engine based on the square-sky window architecture realizes silky manipulation when multiple windows are parallel; The rotation effect of horizontal and vertical screens is naturally connected, and the layout of desktop icons and windows is automatically optimized with the change of shape; By predicting the user’s habit of loading application resources in advance, the document and program will start in 1 second. ?
The deeper change lies in the reconstruction of productivity experience by HarmonyOS office;
Through the unified account system, the seamless cooperation of multiple devices is realized, and documents and data flow between mobile phones, tablets and computers with users, truly eliminating equipment barriers; The interaction between AI and wisdom in HarmonyOS is deeply integrated into the bottom of the system, and the functions such as secretary of small arts conference and document assistant become "resident intelligent assistants", which makes office efficiency and intelligent experience coexist; The fusion of mobile ecology and computer scenes has broken through, and more than a thousand adaptive applications cover the whole scenes of office, creation and entertainment, making the computer not only a productivity tool, but also a super terminal connecting multiple scenes in series. ?
At present, the computer application ecology in HarmonyOS is showing great vitality. ?
Since the HarmonyOS computer technology communication meeting on May 8th, the computer application adaptation in HarmonyOS has been accelerating. At present, the application ecology has covered user core scenes such as general office, design and creation, practical tools, financial management, audio-visual entertainment, education and learning, and games. The adaptation of 150+exclusive computer ecological applications has been accelerated. In just a few days, the number of integrated applications on the shelves has rapidly climbed from more than 300 to more than 1,000, and the number has more than tripled. In the future, more abundant applications will be put on the shelves one after another. It is expected that more than 2,000 converged ecological applications will be supported by the end of the year, and the ecosystem will continue to expand. ?
The release of the extraordinary master of ??HUAWEI ??MateBook Fold will undoubtedly inject more powerful impetus into this growth, and will also be a key force to further promote the ecological prosperity of HarmonyOS. When the "new system+new form" of the extraordinary master of ??HUAWEI ??MateBook Fold meets, the boundary of the folding screen track is redefined, and more possibilities of computers in the future are slowly unfolding with a smarter and more immersive attitude. ?
As the Yu Chengdong conference said: "The domestic software ecology started late and has a weak foundation, but we do the difficult and correct things. HarmonyOS computer is to give the world one more choice ". Huawei Computer continues to innovate, and is constantly putting forward innovative ideas in the industry with a forward-looking vision. It also uses "extraordinary works" to provide users with more imaginative productivity tools. ?
