This year's IFA in Berlin was a busy one for Honor, which introduced a slew of new devices to global markets, including the MagicBook Art 14. But in addition to the Intel-powered version, the company also announced a MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon PC.
This model is now making its official debut, it's not being released in China first, and from the looks of it, it retains much of the same hardware, but with the Snapdragon X Elite inside. This will potentially allow for better power efficiency, longer battery life, and more AI features on board.
The device still uses a 14.6-inch OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 3120 x 2080 px and weighs just 1 kg for a thickness of 1 cm. It's the same powerful and lightweight package and Honor calls it “the lightest AI PC on the market”.
Honor leverages the Snapdragon X Elite’s AI capabilities to optimize certain background processes to improve performance and power consumption. The 14 most-used apps on Windows benefit from under-the-hood optimizations based on your usage habits.
The device also comes with Honor's AI Agent, which helps you with your daily tasks and can even identify apps with unwanted subscriptions and cancel them for you. This AI agent will also make its way to the Magic7 series. Another AI tool will help you identify deepfakes,
Honor is also working to bring your devices closer together in a more seamless ecosystem experience with the MagicRing. It lets you use peripherals and apps across platforms by connecting your phone, tablet, and PC (in this case, the Snapdragon MagicBook 14 Art). You can also receive messages, calls, files, and share your screen from one device to another.
Honor has yet to reveal its plans for the MagicBook 14 Art Snapdragon release date or pricing, but we hope to get those details soon.
