We already have here the first incursion of Honor in the laptop market. Honor today presented its bet for the laptop market, which comes with the name MagicBook and very attractive specifications for those who are looking for good specifications and a low price, of course coming from this firm. It’s his first foray into this market.
The Huawei subsidiary presents the MagicBook with the clear intention of competing with companies like Xiaomi, which are largely capturing the attention of users both in Asia and abroad, the best way to do this action is the presentation of new and attractive devices. As the physical appearance could not fail, Honor is going for the sure thing and bets on a design that reminds us of Apple and that many manufacturers have already adopted, giving rise to a very pleasant first visual sensation.
Specifications that accompany the design
Its aluminium body, however, is only the prelude to some very attractive specifications that begin with its 14-inch screen with 1920×1080 resolution and whose small frames help to occupy 81 percent of the front. The most peculiar thing about this one is that it has the capacity to fold down 180º in what is not a very usual route for conventional laptops, but it will undoubtedly give a lot of play.
What the user will not be able to see at first glance, but what is most interesting about the terminal, are the 256 GB of internal storage or the latest Intel processors, which will be an i5 or an i7 with 4 or 8 GB of RAM, respectively. It comes with a dual speaker configuration, located on the sides of the keyboard and powered by a Dolby sound system. The fingerprint reader for quick and safe unlocking was also a must. Honor ensures that MagicBook will offer its owner between 12 and 13 hours of use, depending on what tasks are performed.

The MagicBook Honor will be available in three different colours: grey, silver and violet. Although it is not yet known whether the company plans to sell it outside China, many will want to do so, bearing in mind that its price will vary between 650 and 750 euros, approximately, depending on the version chosen.
Pricing and Availability
This model will go to Chinese shops on 23 April and it is unknown whether it will ever go to Europe. Unfortunately, it will not be cheap equipment. A lower version of the PC will cost 4999 yuan or about 2700 zlotys. The more expensive model will cost 5,699 yuan or 3,100 zlotys. However, these are prices without any taxes.
Even at this price, the presented laptop would be an interesting price proposition, mainly due to its reasonable specification, good speakers and a fingerprint reader. However, I wouldn’t buy it anymore for the sake of appearance. I don’t understand Chinese companies who are addicted to copying the design of Apple products. I don’t know how you do, but I don’t like using fakes.
