Some ‘users’, as per IT Home, have provided a few sketches and other details about the Honor MagicBook V 14. The sketches show that the laptop will be equipped with a large screen with extremely narrow bezels, thus resulting in a pretty high screen-to-body ratio.

The laptop will also come with a touch screen display and have high-end features such as ‘R2 rounded corners.’

Previously, Honor had confirmed that the upcoming MagicBook V 14 laptop will sport a 5-megapixel dual-camera setup. While the company has not yet confirmed this, we expect a wide-angle camera sensor to offer a larger field of view, along with a regular camera.

The laptop is already confirmed to be one of the first to boot into Windows 11 out-of-the-box. Honor and Microsoft had held a strategic ceremony at Honor HQ, Shenzhen announcing this. Apart from this, Honor had said that it is capable of maximizing the potential of Windows 11 with its advanced capabilities in software and hardware integration.

Not much information about the Honor MagicBook V 14 is available at the moment apart from the aforementioned, but we should be getting more details about its specifications, looks, pricing, and availability with the upcoming September 26 event.
