Honor launched the MagicBook 14 laptop in China earlier this year with an immersive display and a powerful processor. But the notebook was only available with 16GB RAM, which is limiting for users performing demanding tasks. Keeping this in mind, Honor has now unveiled the MagicBook 14 with a larger 32GB RAM option. Here are the details.

Consumers in China can now purchase the Honor MagicBook 14 with 32GB of RAM. The new version will be available for pre-sale today, starting at 5,599 Yuan ($768), and it will go on sale on August 24.

Honor MagicBook 14 Specifications

The Honor laptop comes with a 14.2-inch screen, 3:2 ratio, screen-to-body ratio as high as 91.5%, 2520 x 1680 resolution, 460nits high brightness, 120Hz high refresh rate, 1.07 billion colors, and 100% sRGB color gamut. The display on the device also comes equipped with TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light and No Screen Flicker triple eye protection certification.

The MagicBook 14 is powered by the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor with optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 discrete graphics. On the software front, the laptop runs Magic OS for Windows. The MagicBook 14 comes equipped with HONOR OS Turbo 2.0 technology, which reduces power consumption and improves performance.

It features a grille-type dual air inlet design that increases the air intake area by 31.7%. This, combined with a new heat dissipation system with a symmetrical dual-fan that increases the air volume by 35%, results in 56% increased heat dissipation compared to its predecessor. The noise level is kept to just 20dB, making the MagicBook 14 a quiet and efficient laptop.

The laptop features an all-metal body and packs a big 75Wh unit with a comprehensive battery life of up to 15 hours. It is also capable of reverse charging when turned off.

Honor has just announced on social media that it will be announcing its latest MagicBook series of laptops in China later this month. The launch date is set in next week for the new MagicBook 14 notebooks.

The former subsidiary of Huawei will be announcing the new MagicBook laptop models on 13th April 2023. As per official notes, the latest notebooks from the Chinese smartphone maker will focus on offering ‘Super Long Battery Life’ along with capable performance. In other words, it is clear that the upcoming MagicBook 14 series will be ultrabooks designed to last for long hours thanks to new hardware and intelligent energy efficiency.

Based on what we know so far, the 2023 MagicBook 14 Edition is also being referred to as the “Trident”. According to Ola Zhuwang’s interpretation of this name, the first prong could signify the long lasting aspect of the new laptop, while the other two might showcase its performance or Honor’s smart interconnection. Unfortunately, this is all the information we have regarding the upcoming 2023 MagicBook 14 laptop model.

As the name suggests, we can expect the new laptop will likely feature a 14 inch display. The previous models offered up to 2.1K resolution, 300 nits of peak brightness, and 100 percent sRGB color gamut as well. Furthermore, Honor has offered both AMD and Intel powered models in the past, so we can expect either the latest Ryzen 7000 series or Intel Core 13th Gen processors to power the laptops.

Additionally, this is the first ultra-compact laptop with Honor OS Turbo technology.

Previously Honor has teased that the company will bring Magic OS, its in-house developed desktop user interface over to Windows. Dubbed as MagicOS for Windows, this new user interface features a cleaner look, improved battery endurance and seamless integration for upcoming Honor notebooks and Honor smartphones.

And it seems that the project is bearing fruit soon, as the brand has officially announced that the company will be announcing the Honor Magicbook 14 2022, the first Honor laptop to feature MagicOS for Windows, in China on May 16th (Monday) at 2:30 pm Beijing Time (UTC +8).

Under the assistance of OS Turbo, Honor notebooks are now better optimised for power efficiency. The company claims that the latest Honor Magicbook 14 2022 can reduce power consumption by up to 2X% with the optimisation features of OS Turbo.

As for the hardware packing under the Honor Magicbook 14 2022, ITHome reports that the Honor Magicbook 14 2022 will be sporting Intel’s latest 12th Gen Core i5 and i7 processors, with an optional dedicated graphics card from Nvidia which could be either the Nvidia MX550 GPU or the Nvidia RTX 2050 GPU depending on your preferred setup during checkout.

Along with the Honor V40 flagship smartphone launch on 18th January in China, the company will also be launching its new MagicBook series of laptops. The company is expected to launch Honor MagicBook 14 and MagicBook 15.

While the official launch is still days away, the devices have been listed online by JD.com, revealing the design as well as configuration. However, to know the pricing and availability details, we will have to wait for the official launch.

Honor, the Huawei subsidiary, has just unveiled its latest lineup of MagicBook laptops in the IFA 2020 event, earlier today (4th September 2020). These laptops are refreshes to the 14 and 15 inch models which were launched earlier this year and feature AMD’s new Ryzen 4000 series processors.

While all of the laptops feature a Ryzen 4000 series chip, only the MagicBook Pros arrive with an H series processor. For those unaware, the U series is generally for thin and light laptops with en emphasis on low power draw while the H series focuses on offering better performance. Taking a look into the MagicBook Pro series first:

MagicBook Pro

The Honor MagicBook Pro features the Ryzen 5 4600H, which is a six core 12 thread CPU with Radeon graphics integrated. For memory, the user is offered 16GB of dual channel RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. The laptop has a 16.1 inch Full HD display with a 90 percent screen to body ratio and with an sRGB cover of 100 percent. The Honor MagicBook pro weighs just 1.7 kilograms and is only 16.9mm thick, which is fairly light and thin for a laptop with an H series chip.

MagicBook 14 & 15

Alongside the specced up MagicBook Pro, the company has also launched the MagicBook 14 and 15. These are a direct refresh of the laptop which was unveiled earlier this year at MWC. The laptops now feature a Ryzen 5 4500U processor, with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. Although, the configuration and availability will vary between countries.

Between the 14 inch and 15 inch variant, the only real difference is the screen size.
Users get also get three USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A ports, one USB Type-C port for charging, an HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm audio jack as well. The laptop also supports Bluetooth 5.0 and has a camera hidden inside the keyboard along with a fingerprint sensor on the power button.

Both variants feature the same resolution and also feature identical ports including one USB Type C for charging, one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Apart from the display, another difference is the battery, with the smaller variant having a much larger battery for some unknown reason (56Wh versus 42Wh on the MagicBook 15).

Price and Availability

The Honor MagicBook Pro with the Ryzen 5 4600H will be available in Germany starting from 7th September 2020 and the UK from the 8th.

Huawei’s Honor has officially launched a new notebook in a lowkey manner. The laptop dubbed MagicBook 14 SE is an offshoot of the MagicBook 14 Ryzen Edition which was first launched in February this year. This model is actually a rebadge of the MateBook 14 Ryzen version launched in Europe for 599 Euros.

The MagicBook 14 SE adopts the same design with the MagicBook 14 but this model is equipped with a slightly different specs setup and slightly lower price offering.

The Honor MagicBook 14 SE is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor which utilises a 12nm process. The chip has a Zen+ architecture and is integrated with a Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics card.

Other designs and configurations are almost the same. The device comes equipped with DDR4 dual-channel memory and it uses PCIe NVMe SSD for storage. The only difference is that the capacity of the SSD hard disk has been halved from 512GB to 256GB, with 8GB of RAM.

As for the battery life, the new Honor MagicBook 14 SE comes packed with a 56Wh large battery which the company says can provide 1080P video playback for 9.5 hours, web browsing for 9.4 hours, and daily office hours for 10 hours. Further, it also comes with a fast charger which the company claims can charge 46 percent in just 30 minutes.

Heat dissipation is one of the main focus of the MagicBook 14 SE as it comes with S-shaped fab design. For higher-density fan blades, the number of fan blades has increased by 49 percent and the air volume and heat dissipation capacity increased by 38 percent.

The MagicBook 14 SE carries an official price of 3299 yuan (~475). It is expected to go on sale for the first time on August 15th, at 0:00 at a discount price of 2999 yuan (~$432).

Honor had an online event today in Europe where it unveiled a couple of new products. Among the products announced are the Honor 9A smartphone, a new MagicBook, and a pair of TWS earbuds.

Honor 9A

The Honor 9A is a budget smartphone that was first announced in China back in March. The phone has now made its way to Europe albeit with different specs.

For the European Honor 9A, the phone has a 6.3-inch HD+ (1600 x 720) display with a waterdrop notch. There is an Helio P22 processor inside along with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.

Unlike the Chinese version with dual rear cameras, the Honor 9A that will be sold in Europe has three rear cameras. The main sensor is a 13MP camera and you also get a 5MP ultrawide angle camera and a 2MP macro camera. The selfie camera is an 8MP sensor.

The Honor 9A has a dedicated MicroSD card slot, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, and an audio jack. It also has an FM radio with a built-in antenna, Huawei Histen 6.0, and a Smart PA audio system. There is a 5000mAh battery inside but the phone only supports 5W charging. It also supports reverse charging. The phone runs Magic UI 3.1 based on Android 10 out of the box and with HMS.

The phone is available in Midnight Black and Phantom Blue. It will go on sale on July 1 for €149.9.

MagicBook 14

The Honor MagicBook 14 has also made its way to Europe. The MagicBook 14 has a pretty gorgeous design with its aluminum chassis and blue accent that goes around the lid. The bezels around the display are slim but not the slimmest we have seen. It weighs 1.38 kilograms and is 15.9 millimeters thick.

The notebook comes with a 14-inch 1080p display as expected. There is an AMD Ryzen 3500U inside along with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 256GB of PCIe SSD storage.

For ports, you get two USB-A ports (1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0), a USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It also has a backlit keyboard.

Honor says it comes with a cooling fan with 49% more blades for more efficient cooling. There is a 56Wh battery inside that should last up to 10 hours. The MagicBook 14 charges via a USB-C port and supports 65W fast charging (65W charger included). This allows you to charge it from empty to 46% in just 30 minutes.

Other features of the notebook are a fingerprint scanner (buried under the power button), a retractable webcam hidden between the keys, and support for Magic-link 2.0 which allows users to mirror their Honor phones on their PC and seamlessly transfer files between both devices.

The MagicBook 14 comes with Windows 10 Home out of the box and a 1-month free subscription of Office 365. The notebook is priced at €599 (€649 with a 12-month Office 365 subscription) and comes in Space Gray and Mystic Silver. It is already available for purchase in France and will begin shipping between July 6 and July 10.

CHOICE TWS Earbuds

Honor also announced a new line of products called CHOICE today. The CHOICE line will have IoT and lifestyle products such as TWS earbuds, humidifiers, smart vacuum cleaners, smart kettles, smart toothbrushes, and smart lamps. The first of these products announced today is the CHOICE TWS Earbuds.

The earbuds have 7mm drivers and boast a battery life of 24 hours. It comes in white and has a design similar to that of the FlyPods 3 but with a much shorter stem. Honor has not revealed details about pricing and availability.

Honor’s George Zhao announced Honor X10 launch to take place on May 20. It will be the first phone in the series to support 5G connectivity. Apart from the launch date, the brand is yet to reveal any of the handset’s features. But a recent picture posted by Mr Zhao does tease a lot about this phone as well as new MagicBook 14.

Honor X10 Features Hinted by George Zhao

Looking at the picture shared by Mr Zhao, we can speculate a lot of things about the Honor X10. First and the foremost, the picture could have been shot on the phone itself as the post is indeed shared from Honor X10 according to Weibo.

Further, the caption of the post reads the team that worked on Honor X10 has sent Mr Zhao ‘two gifts with deep meaning’. We are not sure what are those two presents but we clearly recognize certain hints in the image.

We can notice four flowers arranged in Red, Yellow, Yellow, and Blue colors. This somewhat confirms a previous leak which suggested the handset to feature Sony IMX600Y RYYB sensor. Then, there’s a bottle cap, which could only mean one thing, the return of the pop-up camera from the previous generation.

Also, the picture includes a book with a fingerprint-like pattern and a square cut-out in the middle suggesting an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Adding more flair to it, an Honor 30 Pro also sits on the desk with AOD displaying 10 ’Oclock. Is the executive teasing OLED display for Honor X10?

1 of 3

According to TENAA, the phone is expected to sport 6.63-inch FHD+ LCD panel and hence the chances of having the above-mentioned features are low. But Huawei has been already working on LCD in-display fingerprint sensor for a while now. Also, AOD on LCD has been possible for years and the best example is ‘Moto Display’ and the stock ‘Ambient Display’ feature on Android Lollipop.

Honor MagicBook 14 with 10th Gen Intel Processors

Then, the picture also showcases an AMD-powered MagicBook 14 placed on the desk as well as a laptop box with Intel logo at the door. For the unware, Honor recently updated the 15-inch model with 10th Gen Intel processors and hence we think the 14-inch might get a similar treatment.

A leak from a couple of days back also suggested the release of several other products like a router, tablet, and smart TV, in addition to laptop at the Honor Smart Life Product Launch, which has been now confirmed to take place on May 18.

Anyway, we will know more about the new products, especially the Honor X10 when the brand will start posting teasers daily leading up to the day of the launch.

Honor today held a launch event which was live-streamed online. The Chinese tech giant took the wraps off a number of products that have earlier been launched in China for the global market. Top of the pack is the Honor MagicBook 14 and MagicBook 15 laptops.

The laptop prides itself with having an ultra-thin build with 4.8mm micro-bezel design on three sides, said to be about 0.4mm narrower than the previous generation model. This helps in offering a full-screen and immersive field-of-vision experience. The display is a 14-inch IPS display which Honor says is laminated to prevent glares. The laptop integrates a webcam in front of the keyboard with a retractable design.  The power button also has a fingerprint sensor integrated with it.

Under the hood, the device is powered by AMD‘s Ryzen 5 3500U processor along with Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics card. This is notably different from the Ryzen 7 3700U processor and Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics card that the China version was announced with. The device comes equipped with DDR4 dual-channel memory and it uses PCIe NVMe SSD for storage.

Heat dissipation is one of the main focus of the MagicBook 14 & 15 as it comes with an S-shaped fab design. For higher-density fan blades, the number of fan blades has increased by 49 percent and the air volume and heat dissipation capacity increased by 38 percent.
