The Honor MagicBook Pro 2020 refresh is
here. It has a 16.1” screen with 90% screen-to-body ratio just as before, but
it is now powered by a 10th generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. The
bezels around the screen are just 4.9mm, the screen itself is a 1080p panel
with 100% sRGB coverage. There is a 1MP web cam hiding in the keyboard and it
uses dual microphones for video calls. The speakers surrounding the keyboard
are also home to a fingerprint reader.
The base version comes with a Core
i5-10210U, but you can upgrade to a Core i7-10510U. In both cases there is 16GB
of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD with Windows 10 Home pre-installed. In addition to
the Intel graphics, there is an external Nvidia MX350 GPU with 2GB of DDR5
video RAM. A custom dual fan solution keeps everything cool.
Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 5 (ac)
with 2x2 MIMO and Bluetooth 5.0. The wired connections options are one USB-C
port, three USB-A 3.0, an HDMI port, as well as a 3.5mm headphones + microphone
combo jack.
The laptop is powered by a 56Wh battery,
which can last up to 14 hours of light use or 11.5h of video playback. The
chassis is built out of aluminum alloy and the whole thing weights just 1.7kg
and is 16.9mm thick.
The Honor MagicBook Pro 2020 will be
available in China starting on May 19. The i5 version will start at CNY 6,000
(US$ 845/€ 780), the upgrade to an i7 is CNY 700 on top of that. The exterior is
painted in “Glacial Silver”. You can find the laptop on Vmall right now.
Honor also unveiled the Vision X65 TV – a
65” TV with 90% coverage of the P3 color space and with motion compensation. It
has four 10W speakers as well as a microphone, allowing it to become a control
hub for smart home gadgets (via voice commands).
The X65 goes on pre-order later today and
will carry a price tag of CNY 3,300, but those who order before the 25th (when
the TV goes on sale) will get a CNY 300 discount. You will find it on Vmall,
JD, Tmall and other retailers.
