Honor MagicBook 15 in review: Ryzen 5 in a stylish suit | Notebookcheck
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 review: Value for money

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.

Honor MagicBook 15 review: A basic notebook good only for basic chores
Source: Business Standard Archive.org version
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.
