The Honor MagicBook 16 dates back to September, when its first members debuted in China. However MWC 2024 brought us a brand new addition which will also be available globally. The MagicBook 16 Pro version is in our office and we thought we’d do a quick unboxing before we start working on its review.
While Honor doesn’t have a long history of producing notebooks, the company’s recent releases are quite competitive in terms of price and put together excellently.
The 16 Pro runs on a powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor paired with Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU and 32GB of RAM. Keep in mind that the RAM is soldered, so make sure you order the right one, as you won’t be able to upgrade it later. The SSD is obviously user replaceable and in our case it is 1 TB.
The notebook also packs an impressive screen: IPS LCD panel that runs at 144Hz and offers at least 300 nits of brightness. Paired with the powerful Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, the notebook promises to deliver solid gaming performance.
The I/O is also good: 2x USB-C 3.2, 2x USB-A 3.2, a full-size HDMI 2.0 port, and a headphone jack. The laptop charges via one of the USB-C ports at speeds of up to 65W. The battery capacity is 56Wh, which isn’t much for a 16-inch device, but we’ll be sure to test its performance in real life .
The MagicBook 16 Pro weighs 1.86kg, which is fine for a 16-inch laptop, especially one with a discrete GPU.
Stay tuned for our full review to see how it performs in our thermal stress tests, battery tests, and display tests.
