Honor planning to enter India’s PC market with laptops in 2020

SHENZHEN: Chinese technology major Honor, a sub-brand of Huawei, plans to enter India’s PC market with the launch of two Windows-based laptops in 2020.

The laptops will be based on Intel and AMD chipsets, a top company executive told the media during a visit to company’s headquarters in Shenzhen.

“We are working with Microsoft for our laptops and will be launching two laptops in India in 2020,” James Zhou, president-overseas marketing and sales at Honor, said while adding that one of the laptops to be launched will be Honor MagicBook. The executive, however, did not disclose the exact dates of the launch. Laptops with AMD processors are expected to be launched in India in the first quarter of 2020 along with the global launch, the company said.
