Yesterday, HONOR confirmed that it will be unveiling the HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 in China at the upcoming ‘HONOR Smart Life Launch Conference’ on September 26. Today, this laptop has been now listed on JD for pre-registrations.

According to the listing on JD, the new ‘Pro’ laptop from HONOR is officially called HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 2021. Further, the computer is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. 

The listing says that this MagicBook features a gray paint job. It also confirms features like a 144Hz display, a fingerprint sensor, and Multi Screen Collaboration.

Unfortunately, the listing does not reveal anything else about the computer.  Although we are still only two days from the launch, more specifications of the notebook might get out via official teasers or leaks.

The HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 2021 will be accompanied by multiple other products at the launch event. The brand will be announcing HONOR MagicBook V 14 laptop, HONOR V7 tablet, HONOR Vision X2 Smart TV, a smart camera, a massage gun, and an oral irrigator.

Most of these products will likely remain exclusive to China. However, some of them could make their way to international markets in the near future.

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.

Honor, the company which recently spun off from Huawei as an independent brand, has scheduled a launch event tomorrow, i.e. 7th May in China. At the event, the company will be introducing a new laptop lineup called MagicBook X.

The event is scheduled to take place at 2:30 PM Beijing time. Looking at the image of the upcoming laptop showcased in the teaser photo, it seems that the device will be thinner and will have a compact design compared to other MagicBook laptops.

So far, there’s no information about how the company is planning to position this upcoming lineup of laptops. It appears that the MagicBook X could be an alternative to the MagicBook Pro lineup from the company.

From the image, it is confirmed that the upcoming laptop from Honor will come with two USB-A ports — one on each side. There’s also a micro HDMI, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a USB-C for the power delivery.

Continuing with the trend, the laptop features very thin bezels, meaning that the front-facing camera sensor will be between the F6 and F7 keys on the keyboard — similar to other MagicBook models.

Currently, there’s no information available about the interns of these MagicBook X series devices. However, it’s just a few hours before we get information about its features, specifications, pricing details, and availability in China.

Honor‘s MagicBook series aren’t exactly the most popular devices, but they’ve always been fairly solid. They feature fairly decent specs and nice, quality builds. Yesterday, we saw the company introduce the brand new MagicBook 15. Outside of a brief glimpse at the exterior however, details were rather scant. Now, a listing for the device has appeared on JingDong Mall, which means we get to take a nice close look at the latest Honor laptop.

Unlike before, the pre-order listing does give us an idea of what the specifications will look like. There only appears to be an Intel variant, with no AMD Ryzen variants in sight. There are also two storage options, 256GB and 512GB SSD storage. We can also see the good old Honor MagicBook fingerprint sensor power button, which is a welcome addition to the device. Finally, there’s no Windows variant, the MagicBook 15 exclusively runs Linux.

We also get a closer look at the new design, and it’s quite an interesting take. It continues to Apple Macbook look previous MagicBooks have had, but it adds a dash of colour to the equation with a ring of blue on the chamfered edges around the display. The logo on the back is also coloured with splashes of purple and blue akin to the current Honor logo.

There’s still no pricing information, though we wouldn’t expect the MagicBook 15 to cost all that much. While the pre-order listing has given us more details than before, the device is still mostly a mystery, so all we can really do for now is wait. Hopefully it’ll continue Honor’s streak of releasing fairly good high quality laptops at affordable prices.

Earlier today, Honor President Zhao Ming posted a photo of the Honor offices over on Weibo. Through this, we get our very first look at the latest version of the Honor Magicbook, and it has some extremely thin bezels this time around! Along with that, we’ve got another look at the Honor 9X, and also a possible look at an Honor TV!

First, let’s take a closer look at the brand new Honor Magicbook since it’s there are plenty of details to make out here. First off, we’ve got some new extremely thin bezels around the device’s display. There’s also no front camera in sight, which probably means we’ll be seeing Honor’s laptop pop-up camera make a grand return. As for specs, we can probably expect the Intel i5-8265U with an NVIDIA MX250 GPU, with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD.

Next up, there’s the Honor 9X that’s sitting on the table next to the Magicbook. We’ve already heard a lot about the Honor 9X, so the picture doesn’t really reveal all that much other than the twilight colour scheme. The Honor 9X is set to launch on the 23rd of July, and it’ll have some pretty hefty specs. You can find a full rundown of the specs over here.

Last but not least, we’ve got the blocked out and inconspicuous TV sitting in the corner. The fact that it’s blocked by a sticker could simply mean that it’s got sensitive information on it, but there’s also a chance it’s concealing a possible new Honor TV! While there’s nothing concrete about it, seeing an Honor TV could be really interesting in the future.

Since the Huawei-US saga began, the focus has been on its mobile phone business but the ban also affects its other businesses with ties to US companies. The attention has now been turned to is its PC business which has suffered a strong blow.

A new report says the Chinese giant has asked its supply chain partners to halt deliveries. It has also asked work on new projects to be suspended. This move affects Huawei’s own MateBook PCs as well as that of its Honor sub-brand which are sold under the MagicBook brand.

According to Digitimes, a number of suppliers have received a memo from Huawei to stop supply. There is no time frame for when production and development will resume as Huawei doesn’t have an alternative to Intel and Windows OS (Wintel). Both Intel and Microsoft are US-based companies and are prevented from conducting business with Huawei. AMD, which also powers some of Huawei’s PCs is also an American company.

While Huawei has been able to stock up on chipsets for its mobile phones following the US’s spate with ZTE last year, it has not been able to do so for its Notebook business.

Huawei’s PC business has grown significantly ever since it began a few years ago. Its shipment is expected to reach up to 277.3% but that figure will no longer be attainable following the recent developments. The MateBook X Pro which launched earlier this year set a record of ¥10 million in sales in just 10 minutes on a Chinese e-commerce store.

Honor’s first laptop the Magicbook was first unveiled in April this year. The company later announced a Sharp Ryzen edition sporting an AMD processor in May. Presently,  a new touchscreen version has been added to the mix. The new Honor Magicbook touchscreen version is presently on reservation at Jingdong for an undisclosed price. 

The touchscreen version comes with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080pixels and is equipped with a 10-point touchscreen with full fit technology. Honor made the touchscreen version to be available for the Intel Core i5-powered Magicbook which has 8GB of RAM as well as 256GB of SSD. The touchscreen is also available for the variant powered by an AMD R5 2500U processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. Even though the actual price tags weren’t disclosed, Honor teased during that the Core i5 variant would be priced at 5,?99. That means it will come in at less than 6000 yuan ($880). On the other hand, the AMD R5 2500U-powered variant will be sold for less than 5000 yuan (4?99 yuan). That is about the price of the non-touchscreen Core i5 variant. So you’ll agree the price tag is likely going to be competitive. Sales of both versions will commence on August 1 exclusively on Jingdong (JD.com) and already both versions have gotten over 240,000 reservations.

Other specifications are unchanged and to recap,  the Honor Magicbook adopts a design which sees the side bezels slightly reduced, giving it an 81% screen-to-body ratio. The hinges also come with a spectacular design as the laptop can open up to 180 degrees.  The MagicBook sports a metal body and has a full-size QWERTY keyboard.  It is just 15.8mm thick and weighs 1.47kg which means it isn’t only portable but also lightweight. The laptop comes in three colour combination Glacier Silver, Starry Ash and Nebula Purple but this new version is available in Glacier Silver only.

In addition, it comes with four speakers and support for Dolby Sound System. There is also a built-in 2 x 2 MIMO dual-antenna Wi-Fi. Another spectacular thing is that it is equipped with a 57Wh battery which the company says can provide 12 hours of native 1080p video playback, 12 hours of web browsing, and 13 hours of document processing.

One spectacular feature of the Honor MagicBook as gathered from previous teasers is the bezel-less frame it adopts. The reservation page also contains a picture of the device. Although it is partly covered with a veil, we can still catch a glimpse of the entire design. The bezels only look very thin on the sides but the top and bottom bezels are still considerably large. The keyboard and trackpad look very much similar to those of Apple MacBook models. The device also has a web camera housed on the top bezel. The price is unfortunately not revealed as well as the date the device will ship. All other details will be known when the MagicBook is launched on April 19.
