Then again, to put things in perspective many of the 15-inch laptops weigh more while the 17-inchers often cross the 2kg threshold. Still, 16.1” is a lot and you can definitely feel that when carrying the MagicBook Pro's 1.7kg body around. Seeing how the majority of 15.6-inch laptops in this price range use very thick bezels the claim is very valid. Speaking of the display, its diagonal is 16.1 inches and Honor says it can almost fit inside a standard 15.6-inch chassis. Unfortunately, though, the hinge is a little stiff so it takes two hands to open up the laptop. We feel that this design is rather necessary given the size of the display in order to provide stable support without flex. The latter is attached to the base with a very sturdy hinge spanning across the body. We didn’t find any excessive flex around the interior nor around the lid. We get those razor-thin bezels around the screen, all-aluminum chassis and overall sturdy construction. The MagicBook Pro adopts a similar, if not identical design to its smaller 14 and 15-inch siblings.
Many would expect a productivity-focused 16.1-inch laptop to come with a numpad, while some might find the weight a dealbreaker altogether. Still, some compromises needed to be made. Asking just €900 - or €800 if you are fast enough - the Pro doesn't fall behind its smaller 14 and 15-inch siblings in terms of price/performance ratio. The MagicBook Pro also finds a niche of its own having a combination of two features - low price and big 16.1 panel. So light gaming is very much on the cards. The integrated Vega GPU is fully capable of handling from light to moderately complex GPU tasks performing roughly on par with NVIDIA’s entry-level GeForce MX250 discrete GPU. Whether you agree with that largely depends on your needs. For one, it’s oriented towrds productivity and media-consumption and secondly, Honor believes it doesn’t need one.
Based on AMD’s Zen 2 architecture utilizing the 7nm manufacturing process, this CPU is still ahead of Intel, and we believe it’s also the better configuration in 2020.ĭespite the H CPU instead of the low-power U series the 16.1-inch MagicBook Pro doesn’t have a dedicated GPU. Yet now that it got equipped with AMD’s new Ryzen 5 4600H CPU its availability is expanding to global markets.
Honor’s MagicBook Pro isn’t new, but the first edition was only available in China.
