Huawei Technologies Co Ltd is likely to release its first personal computer next month, as part of the tech firm's plan to catch up with Apple Inc in revenue.

華爲技術有限公司可能在下個月發佈首款個人電腦(PC)，這是華爲趕超蘋果公司營收的計劃的一部分。

What will be interesting would be to see if the world's biggest telecom equipment maker is able to translate its success story in smartphones market to the PC sector, where demand is languishing in major markets.

看着世界上最大的電信設備製造商，能否將其在智能手機市場上的成功轉化到在主要市場需求已經持續減少的個人電腦領域是一件很有趣的事情。

Huawei is working with chipmaker Intel Corp on a PC that is scheduled to be unveiled in February, Shanghai-based news site said on Monday. The report did not disclose what kind of device the Shenzhen, Guangdong-based vendor will launch.

總部位於上海的第一財經網週一的報道稱，華爲正與芯片製造商英特爾合作研發一款PC，預計2月發佈。但是該報告並沒有透露這家位於廣東深圳的供應商將推出什麼樣的設備。

Huawei sources said on condition of anonymity that the company may release at least one tablet device at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, next month.

華爲消息人士對媒體表示，華爲或將於今年2月在西班牙巴塞羅那召開的世界移動通信大會上發佈關於推出筆記本電腦的通告。

Nicole Peng, research director of Canalys China, a market research firm based in Shanghai, said Huawei may choose to enter the PC market even if it is hard to attain profits immediately. But Huawei will also need to overcome a series of challenges to make the PC idea work. said Peng.

總部位於上海的易觀國際中國的研究總監彭路平表示，即使現在很難立即獲得利潤，華爲也可能會打入PC市場。但是彭路平也說道，華爲想要在PC市場取得成功需要克服諸多困難。

"The PC market, including tablets, is undergoing a tough time with even Apple seeing stagnant tablet sales," Peng said, adding the enterprise market could be more important to Huawei as there are still considerable revenue opportunities.

彭路平說：“目前PC(包括平板電腦)市場正處於困境中，連蘋果的平板電腦銷售也停滯不前。” 增加企業市場對華爲可能更重要，因爲這樣仍然有獲得可觀收入的機會。

"But Huawei needs to leverage the business-to-business channel to sell PCs instead of using the current retail channel. A big challenge for them," according to Peng.

“但華爲需要利用業務渠道來銷售個人電腦，而不是使用當前的零售渠道。這對他們來說是一大挑戰。”彭路平說。
