Honor has been teasing the launch of its first gaming laptops for a while now. It was initially thought to launch this month, instead, the company released 2020 Ryzen Editions of MagicBook Pro and MagicBook 14/15. According to a tip, they may be finally debuting in August. But ahead of it, the branding and design sketches of these gaming laptops have leaked.

The upcoming gaming laptops will not be the first gaming products from Honor. The brand already launched a gaming router dubbed as “Honor Hunter Gaming Router” alongside Honor V30 series in November of 2019. Turns out, these forthcoming laptops will also launch under “Hunter” series.

Just like ASUS ROG, Lenovo Legion, Acer Predator, HP Omen, and Dell Alienware, Honor will use “Hunter” branding for its gaming products. The design sketches for its first laptops reveals them to feature supercars-inspired massive vent for better heat dissipation.

These sketches also expose the brand logo along with its placement on the laptops. Further, it also reveals the series model number – FRD, which goes in line with the 3C certification listing from a few days back.

Unfortunately, the specs of Honor Hunter gaming laptops are still a mystery. But since the brand announced a partnership with AMD, we can expect them to feature Ryzen processors with dedicated NVIDIA GPUs.

Honor President George Zhao had hinted earlier last month that the brand has been working on a gaming laptop for a long time. He also disclosed that the laptop will be launched this year. Later on, rumours emerged that the laptop will be launched in July. Already, Honor has scheduled a launch event for July 16 in China where the MagicBook AMD Ryzen model will be unveiled. The gaming laptop could also tag along.

Ahead of the launch date, a laptop believed to be the Honor gaming model has just been certified by China’s 3C. The certification page shows that the model is a notebook computer with the adapter having the model number HW-200A00P00. The adapter has a rating of 20V/10A. A Weibo user is said to have hinted that the laptop will come with a 200W adapter. Notebook models like the Razer Blade gaming laptop already feature 200W adapters. The adapter provides plenty of power for games, creativity, and entertainment.

Previous rumours also tip the Honor gaming laptop to feature AMD’s 7nm Radeon graphics card while being equipped with AMD’s processor. This throws up the possibility of the gaming notebook coming with an Intel SoC. Also, Honour may likely release an Intel version in the future.

Back in June, George Zhao, the president of Honor brand revealed that they will be soon launching gaming laptops. A few days back, a report also confirmed the same, which also added that Huawei will be joining the bandwagon as well. Now, new teasers on Weibo confirm the silicon that will be used in these notebooks.

Earlier today, AMD China’s official Weibo account posted a picture of a building with “HI AMD”. Similarly, an hour later, Honor’s Weibo account shared an image of another building with “HI Honor” marking.

We believe these two buildings are nothing but offices of Honor and AMD greeting each other. Above all, it teases a collaboration between the two companies.

This could mean only one thing and that is none other than Honor using AMD chips in its upcoming gaming laptops. As per recently, these gaming laptops will launch as early as this month.

Since the teasers have begun, we can expect Honor to soon drop features of its forthcoming notebooks in the coming days. If they do, the brand’s first gaming laptops will be indeed launching by the end of July or maybe in August.

Honor will not be the first smartphone maker to launch gaming laptops as Xiaomi has already introduced its own lineup last year.

Honor had announced back in June 2020 that it would be launching a gaming laptop within this year. Now, a new report suggests that the gaming notebook may be launched as soon as July.

According to a blogger on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, the gaming laptop from Honor could arrive by August or even July at the earliest. Furthermore, the blogger (@长安数码君) also said that Huawei will follow up with its own launch not too long after Honor’s laptops are released. At the moment, Honor generally offers lightweight and thin ultrabooks, so the new laptops will mark its official entry into gaming as well.

Thus, we can expect the new laptops to feature Intel 10th Generation H series chips or AMD’s latest 4000 series Ryzen mobile processors. Unfortunately, finer details regarding the design or even specifications of the laptop are currently unknown. Although, a dedicated graphics card will likely be housed within the thin gaming ultrabooks. So stay tuned, as we will be providing more updates when more information is available.

Honor is more than a smartphone brand. The sub-brand of Huawei is offering consumer products under almost all categories just like its parent company Huawei. Last month, the brand announced its high-end Honor Tablet V6 but the pricing was only declared earlier today. At the same time, George Zhao, the president of Honor hinted launching further new products by the end of this year.

Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has been selling laptops called MagicBook similar to MateBook. All of them are targeted at normal users. But by the end of this year, that will change as the brand’s resident has confirmed to media that it will be launching a gaming laptop.

Unfortunately, he did not reveal anything more about this product. Anyway, being a gaming laptop, we can expect it to come with a beefier GPU and RGB lightings similar to other popular models in this segment from well-established companies.

Further, the brand’s president also confirmed the launch of a new big-screen smartphone. This segment (phablets) is currently next to non-existent as most of the handsets have bigger displays.

Honor 8X Max and Honor Note 10 were some of the popular devices of their time. Even, Huawei Mate 20 X was well-received by the users and media.

Thus, we don’t see anything wrong in Honor launching a big-screen multimedia focused smartphone in 2020 when there is a market for it, albeit a bit smaller.
