Title: Honor MagicBook Art 14 Laptop - Great OLED subnotebook with vapor-chamber and innovative camera
Post by: Redaktion on September 05, 2024, 15:03:09
With the new MagicBook Art 14, Honor offers a great subnotebook with a high-resolution OLED touchscreen and a Meteor Lake processor. The attachable webcam is also a real innovation that works excellently. Cooling is provided by a vapor chamber.

Arc 8 and CPU itself showing lower scores than it could show, it is due heavy throttle, and that is why no arc 7 and radeon 780m in charts for comparison and no after words about low perfomance and throttle compare to the same conf laptops performance of laptop.

An OLED with 120hz PWM is not a con? Should not Notebookcheck have the same criteria for all reviews?

Seriously with Lunar Lake about to drop and Strix already available they went with Meidocre Lake. MAybe though the cpu won't throttle as badly as the M3 in the Macbook Air thanks to the brain-dead decision to go fanless. MBA is now a no-go.

The only question is following:
Is it still review or the promotional content?

They advertise 4320Hz PWM dimming on their website.

Hi Notebookcheck, can you clarify why the PWM value in your review differs from the PWM value advertised by Honor? Thanks.

in theory, a GREAT laptop, sadly comes with quite a few 'fails'
- keyboard: power button right next to delete key is a huge design fail (speaking from experience)
- usb-c port layout is another fail, typical for most laptops (for travel there should be usb-c port on each side)
- usb-c ports are too close together
- no sd / micro-sd card slot is the usual fail but hey, the makers have won this battle across the board, people use those cards less and less out in the open, other than inside their shiny-shinies.
As to detachable webcam - it's a good compromise and stored the laptop housing - thumbs up! But 1080p resolution in 2024 is hilariously poor.
