The latest version is powered by Snapdragon X Elite chipsets, which enables several on-device AI features. Most specifications of the newer MagicBook Art 14 laptop remain the same as the existing model.
The company confirmed that the Snapdragon variant of the MagicBook Art 14 will soon be available for purchase in select European countries such as Germany, France, and Italy. The price or exact timeline for availability has not yet been revealed. Honor also did not confirm if the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon will launch in China or other regions.
Snapdragon Features
The Honor MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon version, as the name suggests, is powered by Snapdragon X Elite chipsets. The laptop comes with support for Honor MagicRing that allows multiple devices that use same Honor account to connect automatically. For instance, the same set of keyboard and mouse can be simultaneously used across connected devices. With this feature, users can receive calls and notifications on connected devices or use the camera of a paired smartphone as a PC webcam, the company claims.
The Honor MagicBook Art 14 is also distinguished by its compact size. Its thickness is about one centimeter, and it weighs about 1 kg. The laptop has a 14.6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 3120×2080 pixels, which occupies 97% of the area of the top cover. Because of this, the webcam is moved to a separate plug-in. The device is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, up to 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage and a 60 Wh battery.
The price of the laptop has not yet been announced.
