China-based Huawei Device is set to launch its first notebook in April using a 12.9-inch display and Windows 10, while Xiaomi Technology will launch a notebook with a sub-13-inch display and a dual-operating system (OS) design using Windows 10 and MIUI, according to a Chinese-language NetEase report.

Both notebooks adopt a 2-in-1 design and can be converted from a notebook to a tablet, the report noted.

However, some market watchers believe the two vendors will see tough competition from existing PC brand vendors, the report added.
