The 60Wh battery charges to 43% in 30 minutes and reaches full capacity in about 90 minutes.
Software Integration
The MagicBook Art 14 is Honor's first laptop with deep Copilot integration, featuring a dedicated key for quick access to AI-powered assistance within Microsoft apps.
Pricing and Availability
Honor has not yet announced official pricing or availability for global markets. In China, the top-spec model is currently priced at CNY 9,499 (approximately €1,200), though European pricing is expected to be higher.
Verdict
The Honor MagicBook Art 14 is an impressive feat of engineering, offering a large, high-quality display and solid performance in an incredibly lightweight package. While we await official pricing, this ultrabook has the potential to be a top contender in the premium portable laptop market, especially for those who prioritize portability without sacrificing screen real estate or features.
