On July 23, Honor will be holding a new product launch conference. Now, we know most of what we can expect to see there, including the Honor 9X, an Honor SmartTV and a new Magicbook. Of this bunch, the one we surprisingly know the least about is the new Magicbook. Outside of a single leaked image, we didn’t really have much to go off of. Now however, Honor’s really a teaser image for the brand new device, so let’s take a closer look.
First off, we’ve finally got official confirmation that the new Magicbook will be called the Honor Magicbook Pro. This means it’s not really a new iteration of the Magicbook, but rather a new line of Magicbooks, probably more focused towards stronger performance. Honor also claims the Magicbook Pro has “unbounded full screen, high performance and thinner”. We can assume this refers to the display with tiny bezels, and a new chipset + GPU solution.
We’ve also learned that the Honor MagicBook Pro will be equipped with IPS FHD 16:9 screen, with 100% sRGB wide color gamut. The advantage of the 100% sRGB wide color gamut is that it can make the screen more vibrant, as well as help it more accurately reproduce colours. The fact that it’s an IPS panel will also lend to some pretty good viewing angles.
Some leaked specs have also surfaced, claiming that the basic version of the Honor MagicBook Pro will be equipped with an Intel i5-8265U processor and an NVIDIA MX250 GPU. Alongside that, we can expect at least 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, as well as support for fingerprint identification on the power button and Honor’s signature pop-up camera.
