Huawei has launched a new line of the popular MateBook series of laptops, which runs Linux, but unfortunately you will have to go to China to grab one.
The latest MateBook launch in the United States was canceled as a result of the U.S. government's decision to add the Chinese network giant to its list of entities, along with other companies prohibited from trading with the United States without a license. special license.
Now, Huawei launched a new version of its MateBook 13, a little cheaper, which uses the Chinese cast, Deepin. The device is physically identical to other MateBooks running Windows, except that the Windows key now says "start."

Since Deepin is a mainland China-based version of Linux, don't expect these new Linux-based MateBooks to arrive in the United States so soon. Although we may eventually see a MateBook launching Ubuntu or Mint in the US in the future if demand is sufficient.
