Recently, Chinese leading online education companies began to lay out hardware field collectively, including Zuoyebang, TAL Education, New Oriental Education and Yuanfudao.

Baidu-based Zuoyebang, reportedly seeking for US IPO, will launch the first intelligent desk lamp around August 2021, and has already started the tablet project.

TAL Education (NYSE: TAL) has set up a special hardware department, and is preparing an intelligent desk lamp.

New Oriental Education (NYSE: EDU and SEHK: 9901) is still looking for a solution to its project on intelligent desk lamp.

Tencent-backed startup Yuanfudao has signed an order for an intelligent writing board to the factory, and has set up a hardware team in Shenzhen, China.
