Honor is preparing to expand its product family. The company will soon unveil its latest offerings at MWC 2024. Of course, upcoming products are still a mystery. However, they sometimes release hints in their announcements. For example, we recently learned that the company will launch another Porsche Design flagship smartphone at the event. Now, according to the latest announcement, Honor is preparing to launch a PC with artificial intelligence features that will compete with the MacBook. Here are the details…

Honor hints at AI PC to rival MacBook at MWC 2024

Artificial intelligence continues its rapid integration into various technologies, including smartphones and computers. Honor seeks to keep pace with competitors by developing an AI-powered PC to rival Apple’s MacBooks. Right now, the details we have about this topic are limited except it will be Honor MagicBook 16. However, that doesn’t prevent us from making educated predictions.

Since artificial intelligence relies on powerful hardware, we can expect an exceptionally high performance hardware package to be involved. Additionally, the presence of functions not found in regular PCs, along with the improved performance of existing ones, is also a consideration. However, all of these come at a cost.

As is typical with any advanced technology, the price is a factor in the case of Honor AI PC. It will likely compete with MacBook in terms of pricing, aligning with current standards. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that all of this is still speculative. We’ll have to wait until the event at MWC on February 25, 2024, to see what surprise Honor has in store for us.

The Honor Magic4 Pro is available for £700 on Amazon UK, which is £170 less than its usual price.

Honor Pad 8

If you are in the market for an affordable tablet, Honor provides a decent option with the Honor Pad 8. This 12-inch slate has a 2,000 x 1,200-pixel IPS LCD panel and a Snapdragon 680 chipset under the hood. It is certified with Widevine L1, meaning that Netflix and YouTube can play at 1080p.

HONOR has scheduled a launch event in China for September 26. The brand has been gradually revealing the devices that will be announced at this conference for the past few days. Today, the company has confirmed that a new version of HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 will be debuting at this event.

According to the latest teaser by the HONOR Life Weibo account, the brand will be launching a new HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 model on September 26. As per the post, this laptop will sport a 144Hz refresh rate display. Further, despite featuring thin bezels, the webcam will be still housed inside the top bezel.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this notebook. We can expect it to arrive with processor upgrades and other features, in addition to the confirmed high refresh rate display.

Most importantly, this is the first time HONOR is calling its Pro laptop with its display size. For those unaware, the Pro notebooks from HONOR have always had a 16.1-inch display. This suggests that the company may release smaller Pro variants in the future.

Having said that, other than this computer, HONOR has also confirmed to unveil HONOR V7 tablet, HONOR MagicBook V 14 laptop, and HONOR Vision X2 smart TV at the upcoming HONOR Life launch event on September 26 in China.
