Honor MagicBook 14 Review: Get it done without breaking the bank

 

My needs for a laptop but battery life over performance, but nobody is going to say no to a bit more oomph - and the MagicBook 14 has plenty.

Snappy performance ; Excellent battery life ; Great design with small screen bezels ; Fingerprint sensor is a boon

Screen could be a little brighter

Review: HONOR's MagicBook 14 (2021) is an improvement, but is it enough?

 

The budget HONOR MagicBook 14 is back for 2021 with 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs and a brighter, more colorful display. I've been using it for the last couple of weeks to see how well the refresh works out and whether or not it's worth its modest price.

Strong performance and battery life ; Camera "shutter" and fingerprint reader ; Keyboard and touchpad are comfy ; Fast, upgradeable M.2 SSD ; Solid aluminum chassis

No Thunderbolt or SD reader ; Keyboard camera offers a bad angle ; Soldered RAM

Bottom line: Port selection is dated, and the camera's angle is unpleasant, but the MagicBook 14 offers reliable performance, long battery life, and a comfortable keyboard and touchpad. It's a well-built laptop that costs less than $1,000, making it...

HONOR MagicBook 14 review (2020) | Pocketnow

 

The 2020 HONOR MagicBook 14, now with the upgraded AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor, is a great choice and bang for the buck. Read our review!

Great design, premium materials; ; Really nice display; ; Great performance; ; Excellent battery life; ; Speakers are loud; ; Integration with HUAWEI smartphones via HUAWEI Share.

Not recommended for graphics-intense operations; ; Pop-up webcam’s angle is something you’ll have to get used to; ; A tad heavy at 1.4kg; ; I/O could be better; ; If you’re in the U.S. you’ll likely need to import it, which will add to the price.

The HONOR MagicBook 14 was already a great choice when it ran the older version of the processor. Now, with the upgraded 4500U chip, the 2020 model not only outperforms other laptops in its class and price range, but it also manages, like an...
