Honor has announced its 16.1-inch laptop with ultra-thin bezels for larger screen display - the Honor MagicBook Pro. It is set to be available in China, although it is not confirmed by Honor or its parent company Huawei, whether they intend to offer the laptop outside of their domestic market.

Aimed at users seeking high performance, Honor’s MagicBook Pro is based on Intel’s quad-core Core i5/i7 codenamed Whiskey Lake processor, and is accompanied by NVIDIA’s GeForce MX250 discrete graphics chip with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory. To ensure consistent performance of the two key components, the laptop uses a cooling system that includes two thick heat pipes and two fans. Depending on the SKU, these notebooks will come with 8GB or 16GB of RAM, as well as with a 512GB or 1TB SSD.

Designed with an aluminum chassis that somewhat look like Apple’s MacBook Pro, the MagicBook Pro have distinctive features such as a pop-up webcam integrated into a dedicated keyboard key, a common set of physical ports typically found on a notebook like one USB 3.1 Type-C port, three USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a HDMI, and a 3.5-mm audio jack for headsets.

It also includes a 2x2 Wi-Fi controller compatible with up to 1733 Gbps throughput over 160 MHz channels. The MagicBook Pro features a 56 Wh battery, which is common inside 13.3-inch PCs, but is less so for larger machines such as the MagicBook Pro.
