Earlier this month, Honor launched its very own brand of gaming laptops. The Hunter V700 series arrives with notable specs and went on its first sale yesterday, and in just a matter of 3 minutes, the gaming laptops were completely sold out and crossed over 10,000 units.

According to the company’s official poster image, the Hunter V700 series of gaming laptops sold over 10,000 units almost immediately after going on sale. In just under 3 minutes, the entire lineup had been completely sold out. The laptops were a part of the Huawei subsidiaries’ first gaming laptop branding and launched with Intel‘s 10th Gen Core processors and NVIDIA‘s graphics cards.

Honor had placed an emphasis on the cooling mechanism of these laptops since gaming notebooks are known to run at higher temperatures than regular laptops. The company had also advertised a ton of software based features and other aspects as well, all of which seems to have helped make the Hunter brand gaming laptops quite successful in China.

The V700 gaming laptops arrived at various configurations and at different price points. Although, it is still quite an impressive feat to sell such a large number of gaming laptops in such a short amount of time. Honor has announced that the second wave of sales will begin soon, with the date being 2nd October 2020. So stay tuned for the launch, and maybe another complete sellout.

Two years back, Honor entered the laptop segment with its MagicBook range of sleek and affordable notebooks. Today marks another milestone for the company as it enters a new product category with its new Honor Hunter brand. The first device in the Hunter brand is the high-end Honor Hunter V700 gaming laptop targeted at gamers who are looking for the best performance in a portable form factor.

Hunter Gaming Laptop Design

While many focus on the specifications of a gaming laptop, its design is just as important if not downright crucial. Honor has focused on both gaming aesthetics and heat management with its new Hunter series of laptops. The body of the new gaming laptop lineup is made from an anodized aluminum alloy body. For the RGB lovers, the Hunter logo on the rear panel lights up, and so does the keyboard and air vents that also have LEDs that light up the base, all of which can be controlled and customized.

Despite the laptop being only 19.9mm thick, Honor has boasted of its thermal management capabilities. Even with its beefiest variant, the laptop still ran cooler than other gaming laptops from competing brands. While other laptops ran over 90 degrees Celsius in synthetic benchmark and stress testing, the Honor Hunter only reached 89 degrees Celsius, which is impressive for a laptop that runs a processor that reaches 5GHz in clock speeds. The company accredited its better thermal performance to its new fan designs, which sucks in more air for cooling. This is also supplemented by the radiators and 240 cooling fins built into the laptops.

Notably, despite heavy usage, the keyboard and, in particular, the WASD key positions barely saw temps higher than 48 degrees Celsius, which should make it comfortable for gaming for long hours. Furthermore, the hinge for the screen has also been tested 50,000 times to ensure the quality and durability of the laptop over the course of a few years.

Hunter Gaming Laptop Specs & Hardware

Arriving at the specs of the new Honor Hunter Gaming V700 laptops, the series features Intel‘s 10th gen processors, namely the i5-10300H or the i7-10750H. All three variants arrive with 16GB of dual channel RAM, with either 512GB or 1TB worth of NVMe SSD storage. Customers also get to choose between NVIDIA‘s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and the RTX 2060 for graphics.

The display on these laptops is a 16.1 inch panel which is surrounded by narrow 4.7mm bezels. Since its a gaming laptop, Honor is offering a 144Hz high refresh rate support along with 100 percent sRBG color gamut. Through these specs, one can expect to hit high FPS in competitive games like CS:GO, Valorant, DOTA 2, and League of Legends. It even supports WiFi 6 for better connectivity during online gaming.

Honor has also placed an emphasis on the audio output of these gaming laptops, which is an area most OEMs cut corners in. The Hunter V700 series features nahimic 3D surround sound audio, which helps in making the gaming experience more immersive. Interestingly, the laptops will also support wireless smartphone game streaming, which allows one to play mobile games by mirroring on the bigger screen of the laptop.

Hunter Gaming Laptop Battery & Ports

For ports, the Hunter V700 series features:

• 1 x HDMI 2.0
• 2 x USB 3.2 Gen1
• 1 x USB Type-C
• 1 x 3.5mm headphone jack
• 1 x USB 2.0
• 1 x RJ145 port
• Power port

The battery is rated at 56Wh, which should get users a decent battery life with regular use, but it is advised to game only when the laptop is plugged in.

Talking about features, HONOR HUNTER gaming laptops have been confirmed by the brand to feature Intel chipsets. A leak even revealed its design to be inspired by supercars. Lao Ming (aka Glory Bear), the brand’s VP also teased it to feature RGB lightings a few days back.

Last week, the same executive also shared a teaser video, which showcased the design of the HUNTER gaming laptop. The video also confirmed one of the variants to be powered by Intel Core i7. Also, it revealed them to feature an RGB-backlit keyboard with a special key engraved with the HUNTER logo.

According to a leak, this notebook will be marketed as HUNTER V700 and will be available in at least two variants with model numbers – FRD-WFD9 / FRD-WDG9. That said, we will know more about these products in the coming days as their launch is nearing.

Going by the model numbers of the handsets in the Huawei tabular column, the Mate40 Lite, P Smart Pro 2021, and Y9a are basically the same phones with different branding. On the other hand, P Smart 2021 and Y7a should be identical. However, all the products in the Honor tabular column are unique.

That said, it is not sure when these smartphones and laptops will launch in Europe as the tipster merely mentions “soon”.
