Reviews for the Honor MagicBook 15
Honors' stylish 15.6-incher scores with a slim metal case, a Ryzen 5-APU and memory running in Dual-Channel mode. The battery life is decent, but not outstanding.

Honor MagicBook 15 is priced at Rs 42,990 which is a good price considering all the features offered by the laptop. It offers a minimalist design, fingerprint button chipped on the power button and a pop-up web camera. The laptop offers quick charging too. A lack of Intel processor and the limited battery life might dissuade a few buyers but overall Magicbook 15 is a capable laptop for day-to-day use.

The Honor MagicBook 15 covers the fundamentals right. It is not a feature-rich option in its segment, but it makes a good notebook for everyday use. It could have been better if it had a proportionate build with an even weight distribution, a strong display hinge, Thunderbolt or similar I/O ports for enhanced data transfer rate, big on-board storage and an optimised battery solution for good standby time. The MagicBook 15 is hard to recommend. At this price, there are several worthier notebooks from Asus, Xiaomi and Acer offering better utility and performance.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.
The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).
76.4%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
