Microsoft Pulls Huawei Laptops From Official Online Store

The product pages were removed from the Microsoft Store after the Trump administration banned US suppliers from selling technology to Huawei. However, you can still find Huawei's remaining inventory of Windows laptops on Amazon and Newegg.

Microsoft has removed Huawei's Windows laptops from the company's online store following the Trump administration's blacklisting of the Chinese company from US suppliers.

Both the Huawei Matebook X Pro and the MateBook D were originally available over the Microsoft online store as of May 12th. However, you can no longer find either product on the site, which was noticed by The Verge. The product pages will now trigger an error.

Microsoft declined to comment on the apparent product removals. The company has also remained mum on the Trump's administration's blacklisting of Huawei. But under the order, Microsoft and other US companies, such as Intel and Qualcomm, must stop technology sales to Huawei unless government approval has been secured.

On Monday, the Commerce Department issued a temporary reprieve, which will allow US suppliers to continue providing software updates to existing Huawei smartphones. But no exception was made for the Chinese company's PC products.

For now, Huawei has only said it'll sell what existing Windows laptops it has left through the company's current retail partners. It'll also continue supplying security updates and after-sales services to the products as well.

"But (we) can't share anything about future plans at this time," a Huawei spokesperson told PCMag.

Although you won't find Huawei laptops on Microsoft's online store, the company's physical retail outlets may actually still have some in stock. PCMag called a local Microsoft store in San Francisco, and a representative said he had three units of Huawei's Matebook X Pro up for sale.

You can also find the Huawei laptops at online stores including Amazon and Newegg. But it'll only be a matter of time before the inventory runs out. So unless the US reverses the ban, buy while supplies last. The Huawei Mate X Pro was one of the highest rated Windows laptops PCMag reviewed last year.

My Experience

I've been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I'm currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country's technology sector.

Since 2020, I've covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I've combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink's cellular service.

I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. In 2024 and 2025, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.

I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I'm now following how the AI-driven memory shortage is impacting the entire consumer electronics market. I'm always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.

The Best Tech I've Had:

  • My first video game console: a Nintendo Famicom
  • I loved my Sega Saturn despite PlayStation's popularity.
  • The iPod Video I received as a gift in college
  • Xbox 360 FTW
  • The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone I was proud to own.
  • The PC desktop I built in 2013, which still works to this day.
