Honor will debut the MagicBook Art 14 laptop in the global market at IFA in early September. The company launched the MagicBook Art 14 in China back in July with an optional Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7. Now tipster says that the global launch will also include a Snapdragon-powered variant.
The news comes from Weibo tipster 旺仔百事通, who reveals that the global launch will not only include a new Classic Gray color option but also a model based on Windows-on-Arm, powered by a Snapdragon chip. Although, he didn’t reveal the exact model name of the chipset. Aside from the new Classic Gray option, the laptop is available in Green and White colors.
While the information noted above is still a rumor, the company previously confirmed that it will unveil a number of products at the IFA event in Berlin, including the recently released Honor Magic V3 foldable, the Honor MagicPad 2, and the MagicBook Art 14. The company will also hold an official keynote speech on September 6 at the event to explore the prospects of AIPC and edge AI technology in depth.
Notably the MagicBook Art 14 is going to be the company’s first Arm-based laptop. The Core Ultra powered version that is already available in China is only 1cm thick, and weighs only 1.03kg, but still packs a dual-fan cooling system.
According to the company, it still packs a dual-fan cooling system. While we don’t know much about the Snapdragon-powered version yet, it can be more power efficient hence there is a possibility of the laptop getting even thinner and lightweight. Nonetheless, we will have to wait for the official announcement.
The Intel version of the laptops packs an OLED display and offers a 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is believed to reduce eye strain by reducing screen flickering. Speaking of pricing, the Core Ultra 5 and the Core Ultra 7 versions of the laptop start from 7,999 yuan (equivalent to $1,110) and 9,499 yuan (equivalent to $1310) in the home country.
