This year’s IFA in Berlin is quite a busy one for Honor, with a series of new devices on world markets, including the Magic Book Art 14 included. But alongside the Intel version, the company also announced a MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon PC.
This model is now making its official debut, not being released first in China, and it appears to retain much of the same hardware, albeit with the Snapdragon X Elite inside. This will potentially enable better power efficiency, longer battery life, and more on-board AI features.
The device still uses a 14.6-inch OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 3120 x 2080px and weighs just 1kg, with a thickness of 1cm. It’s the same powerful yet lightweight package, with Honor calling it “the lightest AI PC on the market”.
Honor uses the Snapdragon X Elite’s AI capabilities to optimize certain background processes to improve performance and power consumption. The 14 most used applications on Windows get under-the-hood optimizations based on your usage habits.
The device also comes with Honor’s AI Agent, which helps with everyday tasks and can even identify apps with unwanted subscriptions and cancel them for you. This AI agent will also be making its way to the Magic7 series. Another AI tool helps you identify deepfakes,
Honor is also working to bring your devices closer together in a more seamless ecosystem experience with the so-called MagicRing. This lets you use peripherals and apps across platforms by connecting your phone, tablet, and PC (in this case, the MagicBook 14 Art Snapdragon). You can also receive messages, calls, files, and share your screen from device to device.
Honor hasn’t revealed when it will release the MagicBook 14 Art Snapdragon, nor what its price will be. We hope to get those details soon.
