Honor expanded its MagicBook line yesterday with the launch of the Intel version of the MagicBook 15. However, that was not the only new computer that was unveiled. It also announced a new color variant for the MagicBook Pro, its 16.1-inch notebook.
The MagicBook Pro was originally available in Glacier Silver and Starry Gray when it was announced back in September. Now, buyers have one more color option called Starfish Blue to choose from. Sadly, the color variant is limited to one configuration – the Ryzen 5 edition with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.
Honor is asking for ¥4799 (~$685) for the new color variant and will ship pre-orders with a free Honor backpack and Bluetooth mouse. The notebook will be available for purchase starting January 8, 2020, on Vmall, JD.com, and TMall.
The MagicBook Pro has a 16.1-inch screen with an FHD resolution and a 90% screen-to-body-ratio thanks to its 4.9 millimeters thin side and top bezels.
It also has NFC, a fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, and dual-band WiFi. For ports, the notebook has 3 x USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a microphone + audio jack combo port, and a USB-C power input port with support for 65W charging. It packs a 56Wh battery that charges up to 70% in 1 hour and takes 2.5 hours to fully charge.
The Honor MagicBook 15 Pro ships with Windows 10 Home along with Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2019. It also has a feature called Magic-Link 2.0 that allows for file transfer (up to 30MB/s) between a compatible phone and the computer. A connection is established between the two devices just by touching the phone against the NFC area of the computer.
