Honor has officially announced the launch of the MagicBook Pro 16 at MWC 2024, set for February 25th. Ahead of its release, the laptop made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmarking platform.
Listed under the model number DRA-XX, the Geekbench listing shows that the MagicBook Pro 16 will boast an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor paired with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 graphics card.
Geekbench Performance
In the Geekbench 6.2.2 CPU test, it scored 2427 points in single-core operations and 12994 points in multi-core scenarios. The RTX 4060 graphics card achieved a score of 42263 points in the OpenCL Compute test.
Design Elements and Gaming Potential
Additionally, an image of the retail box for the purported Honor MagicBook Pro 16 laptop has surfaced on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. The box prominently features design elements from Honor’s gaming-focused sub-brand, “Hunter.” This detail, coupled with the dedicated RTX 4060 GPU, suggests that the laptop will offer a degree of gaming prowess in addition to general productivity tasks.
Certification and Power Adapters
Further information comes from the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) website, where Honor laptops with model numbers DRA-72 and DRA-54 have secured certification. These listings indicate that the laptops will come with either 100W or 200W power adapters.
The upcoming MagicBook Pro 16 is a due update to the lineup. For context, the last major update to Honor’s MagicBook Pro line was in 2021.
The 2021 version of the MagicBook Pro 16 offered configurations with up to an NVIDIA RTX 3050 graphics card and had a starting price of 6199 yuan.
Honor is touting the new laptop as an “epoch-making AI PC,” and its promotional material revealed so far suggests advantages in multi-device connectivity compared to offerings from competitors like Samsung and Apple. We will know more about the device in the next week.
