Honor
expanded its MagicBook line yesterday with the launch of the Intel version of
the MagicBook 15. However, that was not the only new computer that was
unveiled. It also announced a new color variant for the MagicBook Pro, its
16.1-inch notebook.
The
MagicBook Pro was originally available in Glacier Silver and Starry Gray when
it was announced back in September. Now, buyers have one more color option
called Starfish Blue to choose from. Sadly, the color variant is limited to one
configuration – the Ryzen 5 edition with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.
Honor
is asking for ¥ 4799 (US$ 685) for the new color variant and will ship pre-orders
with a free Honor backpack and Bluetooth mouse. The notebook will be available
for purchase starting January 8, 2020, on Vmall, JD.com, and TMall. The MagicBook Pro has a 16.1-inch screen
with an FHD resolution and a 90% screen-to-body-ratio thanks to its 4.9
millimeters thin side and top bezels.
It
also has NFC, a fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, and dual-band WiFi. For
ports, the notebook has 3 x USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a microphone + audio
jack combo port, and a USB-C power input port with support for 65W charging. It
packs a 56Wh battery that charges up to 70% in 1 hour and takes 2.5 hours to
fully charge.
The
Honor MagicBook 15 Pro ships with Windows 10 Home along with Microsoft Office
Home and Student Edition 2019. It also has a feature called Magic-Link 2.0 that
allows for file transfer (up to 30MB/s) between a compatible phone and the
computer. A connection is established between the two devices just by touching
the phone against the NFC area of the computer.
