Honor is gearing up to introduce the MagicBook Art 14 laptop to the global market at the IFA event in early September. Initially launched in China in July, the laptop came with options for either a Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 processor. A new tip suggests that the global release will also feature a variant powered by a Snapdragon processor.
New Features and Color Options
The information comes from a Weibo tipster, 旺仔百事通, who notes that the global launch will not only introduce a new Classic Gray color but also a Windows-on-Arm model utilizing a Snapdragon chip. Although the specific chipset model remains undisclosed, the laptop will also be available in Green and White.
While these details remain speculative, the company has confirmed plans to showcase various products at the IFA event in Berlin. These include the recently launched Honor Magic V3 foldable phone, the Honor MagicPad 2, and the MagicBook Art 14. An official keynote is scheduled for September 6, focusing on the future of AIPC and edge AI technology.
Arm-based Innovation
Impressively, the MagicBook Art 14 will be Honor's first Arm-based laptop. The existing Core Ultra version available in China is only 1cm thick and weighs a mere 1.03kg, yet it features a dual-fan cooling system. While details about the Snapdragon variant are limited, it is expected to be more energy-efficient, potentially making the laptop even thinner and lighter. We're awaiting the official announcement for more information.
Specifications and Pricing
The Intel version boasts an OLED display and offers 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which aims to minimize eye strain by reducing screen flicker. In terms of pricing, the Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7 variants are priced at 7,999 yuan (around $1,110) and 9,499 yuan (around $1,310), respectively, in China.
