A few days ago it was reported that Honor will announce the Honor 20i smartphone and the MagicBook 2019 notebook on April 17. Ahead of the release next week, the MagicBook 2019 has been listed on the official Huawei/Honor online store, Vmall. The listing reveals some of its key specs.
The original MagicBook launched on April 19 last year. It packed a 14-inch display, an 8th-gen processor and NVIDIA GPU. It later got an AMD Ryzen version in May and a touch-screen version in July which is also available in Intel and AMD versions.
For the MagicBook 2019, Honor is going with AMD’s Ryzen 5 3500U processor. The notebook will come in two variants – 8GB RAM + 256GB and 8GB RAM + 512GB. Buyers will also be able to choose between Glacier Silver and Starry Sky. Unfortunately, it seems only the 512GB version will have two color variants. The 256GB version will only be available in Glacier Silver. That might change though as even though there are only two color variants listed, the header image for the product shows there will be three, the third being Nebula Purple.
With respect to design, there doesn’t seem to have been a lot of changes. The bezels seem to be the same thickness and the ports are also in the same position as last year’s model. The speakers are still flanking the keyboard, though it seems it now has four, and the power button doubles as a fingerprint scanner.

The Honor MagicBook 2019 will ship with a 65W USB-C power adapter. There is no price yet but those who pre-order will get a free pair of Honor wired headphones and the first 1000 buyers to complete their order will get a free Honor backpack.
