At the Honor 9X launch event in China today, where the company announced the Honor 20 Pro Icelandic Illusion model as well, Honor also launched its new laptop device — Honor MagicBook Pro, as the company had previously teased.
The Honor MagicBook Pro comes with a 16.1-inch full-screen display with 1920 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 90 percent screen ratio. Thanks to the left and right bezel of only 4.9mm, the laptop is claimed to be more compact than the mainstream 15.6-inch notebooks.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8565U processor which is claimed to be 40% faster than its predecessor. It is coupled with NVIDIA GeForce MX250 discrete graphics and comes with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.
It also comes with seven built-in temperature sensors that monitor the internal temperature of the fuselage in real-time and effectively balances the airflow and helps in reducing fan noise.
The Honor MagicBook Pro comes packed with a 56Wh battery that is claimed to provide around 14 hours of battery life on a single charge. It has a built-in dual-antenna WLAN with a maximum speed of 1733Mbps. The device also supports the Magic Link 2.0 connection, touch screen, and a few other functions.
It comes with a full-size backlit keyboard and has a front-facing camera hidden inside the middle key, which pops up when the key is pressed. It also supports functions such as one-touch screen recording among others.
As for the pricing, the Honor MagicBook Pro is priced at 5,499 yuan for the Intel Core-i5-powered model while the one powered by Intel Core-i7 is priced at 6,199 yuan. The top-end model with 16GB of RAM and 1TB storage will go on sale in August. The company has said that it will be offering a discount of 200 yuan for the first sale, which will take place on 29th July in China.
