Following the global launch of the MagicBook Art 14 Intel variants, Honor has now introduced the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon Edition at IFA 2024 in Berlin. This new model is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite platform, marking Honor’s push into AI-enhanced, power-efficient laptops for professionals and everyday users alike.
1. Specifications
The Honor MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon Edition boasts a 14.6-inch OLED display with a 3.1K resolution (3120 x 2080 pixels) and a 97% screen-to-body ratio, with minimal bezels. The laptop measures just 10mm thick and weighs only 1 kilogram, making it one of the lightest laptops available. The device is made of magnesium and aluminum alloy, which contributes to both its lightweight design and durability.
Under the hood, the MagicBook Art 14 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chipset with 12 cores and a maximum frequency of 4.0GHz. It comes with 16GB or 32GB of RAM, paired with 1TB of storage, ensuring smooth performance for multitasking and professional workloads. The AI-enhanced NPU of the Snapdragon X Elite delivers up to 45 TOPS of AI computing power, allowing the laptop to handle demanding tasks efficiently.
2. Special Features
The MagicBook Art 14’s standout feature is the OS Turbo 3.0 system, which optimizes power management, enabling up to 15.22 hours of 1080P video playback. This makes it perfect for extended use during workdays or travel.
The laptop also features a detachable magnetic webcam, a novel solution to privacy concerns. When not in use, the webcam can be stored neatly on the side of the laptop. This design keeps the bezels ultra-slim while still offering a flexible camera option for video calls or content creation.
Honor has integrated its MagicOS system into the laptop, enabling Smart Interconnect for seamless collaboration between Honor devices. The MagicRing connection facilitates multi-device control, allowing users to control their smartphone, tablet, and laptop simultaneously using the same peripherals.
Additionally, Honor’s AI Eraser feature from the Magic V3 smartphone is now integrated into the laptop to remove unwanted background elements in images.
3. Pricing & Availability
Honor has yet to disclose the pricing for the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon Edition, but it is expected to be competitive in its segment. The Intel-powered version is already available in select markets across Europe, so the Snapdragon variant is expected to follow suit soon.
Given its combination of high-end performance and premium features, the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon Edition is poised to be an attractive option for professionals and tech enthusiasts alike.
