Over two months have gone by since we last heard about Honor's initial laptop featuring the Snapdragon X. In that time, the company has begun launching newer versions of the Magic6 Pro (currently priced at $860 on Amazon) that come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, but these are only available in China at the moment. Now, the original Snapdragon X laptop has been updated in a similar way.
Recap of the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon
To refresh your memory, the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon was introduced at IFA 2024 in Berlin. At that time, Honor stated that this laptop would use a Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 chipset and have a 14.6-inch OLED display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The screen resolution is 3,120 x 2,080 pixels and it supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Honor also claims that the display achieves a remarkable 97% screen-to-body ratio, all packed into a sleek body measuring 316.77 x 223.63 mm and only 11.5 mm thick at its slimmest part.
Specifications and Features
In addition, the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon reportedly weighs around 1.02 kg, even with a 60 Wh battery that can be fully charged in just 98 minutes. The laptop is equipped with six speakers, three microphones, and supports Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. It also features ports like HDMI 2.1 TMDS (4K/60 Hz) and USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, which add to its versatility.
As of now, the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon can only be purchased in China. However, according to GSMArena, there are indications that Honor might soon expand its availability to other countries. For your reference, the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon is sold for CNY 8,499 (about $1,179) in China and comes with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. This means that the Snapdragon version is priced similarly to its Intel Core Ultra 5 125H-powered equivalent with the same memory specs. Sadly, details on pricing for other regions remain unclear for the time being.
