Honor brand has today announced a new
version of its flagship Honor MagicBook laptop. The new Honor Magicbook Sharp
Dragon Ryzen edition is already on reservation via JD.com but the price tag is
still unknown.
The new version comes with an AMD processor which
means it will have a lower price tag than the Intel Core i5/i7-powered models.
Specifically, the Honor Magicbook Sharp Dragon Ryzen edition is equipped with
an AMD R5 2500U processor. The processor is based on 14nm technology and has a
Quad-core Octa-thread design. The processor has a default frequency of 2.0GHz
and a peak acceleration of frequency 3.6GHz. The device is also equipped with
Radeon Vega 8 as well as 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD.
Apart from this, the new version is similar to its
contemporaries. 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. We can’t
tell for now how this would be of any use but it sure could come in handy
someday to the user. 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.
Onboard providing the firepower is an eight-generation Intel Core i7-8550U
processor. There is a version with Intel Core-i5 chip. The laptop is also
equipped with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD, NVIDIA MX150 Graphics card. 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.
The new Magicbook version is on
reservation on Jingdong until June 6 when it will go on its first flash sale.
There will also be a second flash sale on June 8.
