Moreover, the tech giant may also ban server solutions from Huawei. Right now, the company is allowed to release software updates to Android smartphones for an extended period of 90-days.

Excellent. China and Huawei need to stop meddling and stealing US trade secrets. I’m happy with this development. China has been allowed to get away with this stuff for too long.

Interestingly, a Reddit user came up with the idea of selling Huawei laptops without pre-installedWindows operating system.

However, many users may not be interested in alaptopwithout anoperating system.

SomeRedditusers mentioned that there are many open sourceOSoptions on the market. Huawei can go with any of them, but the company still faces a ban fromhardwaremanufacturers.

Windows is not the major problem for Huawei laptop lineup, as there are always open sourceOSoptions. The biggest issue for Huawei laptop lineup is the prohibited access tohardwarecomponents from intel, AMD, Nvidia etc.

It remains to be seen how Huawei handles this complicated situation.
