Honor MagicBook Art 14 laptop review - Great OLED subnotebook with vapor-chamber and innovative camera
Andreas Osthoff, 👁 Andreas Osthoff, ✓ Brian Burriston (translated by DeepL) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
With the new MagicBook Art 14, Honor is launching a very lightweight subnotebook with an Intel Meteor Lake processor (Core Ultra 7 155H) and is combined with a high-resolution OLED touchscreen that offers a frequency of 120 Hz. When it comes to the webcam, Honor is breaking new ground by using an attachable module that can simply be stowed away in the housing when not in use. This means that the edges of the screen can be extremely narrow. Our test device also offers 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD; the price was not yet available at the time of testing. A variant with 16 GB RAM & 1 TB SSD is also available.

Housing - High-quality magnesium alloy
The new MagicBook Art 14 is a very slim and, at 1.013 kg (~2.23 lb), also very light notebook. Visually, the new MagicBook Art 14 has a lot in common with the Huawei MateBook X Pro 2024 including the keyboard with speaker grilles and the shape of the touchpad. Honor offers the device in three different colors. In addition to our test device in green, the notebook is also available in white and gray. Visually, the green version makes a very classy impression and, surprisingly, the slightly velvety surfaces are not particularly susceptible to fingerprints.
Honor uses an attachable webcam (more on this in a moment), which is why the upper edge of the display is very narrow (2.2 mm/<0.1 in) and there is no annoying notch or camera bump. The screen-to-body ratio is a very good 91%. There are three small contacts for the magnetic webcam on the top edge.
We really like the stability of the metal casing (magnesium alloy). The base unit can hardly be pressed in or twisted, even with a lot of force, and there are no creaking noises. The thin screen lid is a little more flexible, but there are no problems here either. The hinges are very well adjusted and the lid hardly wobbles when the opening angle is adjusted (maximum 150 degrees). The lid can easily be opened with one hand, which is made easier by the recess on the touchpad.
Despite its 14.6-inch display, the MagicBook is very compact overall and, above all, very light at 1.013 kg (~2.23 lb). Within the comparison group, only the MateBook X Pro 2024 and the LG Gram Style 14 are slightly lighter (20-30 grams/~0.7-1.1 oz), but this is not noticeable. In terms of height, only the passively cooled MacBook Air M3 and the Galaxy Book4 Pro 14 are slightly flatter. The footprint itself is slightly larger than most competitors due to the large display.
Features - Thunderbolt 4, USB-A & HDMI
Despite the flat design, Honor not only limits itself to USB-C ports, but also has a full HDMI output and a regular USB-A port on the right-hand side. You can therefore do without adapters in everyday use. Two USB-C ports are available on the left-hand side, with the front one supporting the modern Thunderbolt 4 standard. Compared to the MateBook X Pro (only 3x USB-C), we like the connectivity of the MagicBook Art better, even if you can't charge it on both sides. An SD card reader is not available.
Communication
Honor uses the well-known AX211 WLAN module from Intel, which uses Bluetooth 5.3 in addition to 6 GHz networks. In conjunction with our reference router from Asus, the MagicBook Art 14 achieves very high and stable transfer rates. During our test, we had no problems with the signal quality or with large downloads.

Webcam
Honor has come up with something special for the webcam, because instead of building the webcam into the top edge of the screen, it is designed as an external module that can be stowed away in the housing. The compact module is the same color as the housing and, similar to microSD cards, can be pulled out of the housing by pressing on the module. This mechanism is spring-loaded and makes a solid impression. The webcam itself is magnetically attached, so it won't simply fall off.
The corresponding connectors for the webcam are on the screen lid. It sits very firmly on the lid and does not wobble around. The orientation of the webcam can also be changed. However, the quality of the webcam with the 1080p sensor itself is only average and, given the comparatively large module, we would have liked a larger sensor here. In addition, the studio effects for the webcam are not supported, which is incomprehensible to us. However, we are already in contact with the manufacturer about this.
Maintenance
The lower case cover is secured with Torx screws and is easy to remove, because unlike the MateBook X Pro there are no hidden screws under glued rubber feet. The M.2 2280 SSD is accessible next to the fans, but the RAM and WLAN module are soldered. A look at the cooling system reveals a special design. A thin vapor chamber is used here, which also houses the antennas for the WLAN connection.
Input devices - Comfortable keyboard and haptic touchpad
Despite the thin casing, the black keyboard offers a key travel of 1.5 mm and is a very good keyboard. The keystrokes and feedback are precise and even long texts can be typed without any problems. In this respect, the MagicBook has nothing to hide from expensive business laptops. The volume of the keys is unobtrusive, only the triggering of the space bar is louder. The layout is not perfect (we are not referring to the international keyboard version), as the power button (which also contains the fingerprint scanner) is integrated into the top right of the keyboard and can therefore easily be confused with the delete key. The vertical arrow keys are also very small. The white keyboard illumination offers two intensity levels and can be activated automatically via a sensor.
Just like the MateBook X Pro the new MagicBook Art 14 also offers a large haptic touchpad, so there are no moving parts. The haptic feedback is simulated by vibration motors, which is why you can click the pad at any point and get consistent feedback. The pad also supports gestures at the edges (brightness, volume), which also receive haptic feedback through the vibration. Overall, the operation is excellent.
The capacitive touchscreen is also available for inputs, which works as expected without any problems. The touch functionality can also be deactivated via the quick menu of the pre-installed PC Manager.
Display - 120 Hz OLED
Honor uses a 14.6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 3,020 x 2,080 pixels in 3:2 format. The corners of the screen are rounded, which is why some icons are not fully displayed, but in practice there should be no limitations here. The touchscreen is very reflective and reflections can also be problematic indoors, but there is no raster effect on bright surfaces, as is the case with some OLED panels. The subjective picture quality is simply outstanding, as colors are very vibrant and the contrast ratio is extremely high thanks to the rich blacks. The 120 Hz frequency also ensures smooth movements. The brightness can be regulated automatically via a sensor, but the color temperature cannot.
In SDR mode, the OLED panel achieves an average brightness of 480 cd/m² and a maximum of 704 cd/m² in HDR mode (or 670 cd/m² with an almost completely white picture). These values are significantly lower than the MateBook X Pro 2024 (620 nits SDR, 1,200 nits HDR), but still clearly above the current OLED panels from Samsung (~400 nits SDR, ~580 nits HDR).

* ... smaller is better
Honor delivers the MagicBook Art 14 with various color profiles, which we analyzed with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2). The Native profile is active by default, but the colors are somewhat oversaturated. The P3 profile, on the other hand, displays the colors and grayscale very accurately, only the color temperature is slightly too warm. However, all deviations are already below the important limit of 3.
With our own calibration (profile is available for free download above) we can optimize the colour temperature and reduce the color deviations even further. In addition, Honor also provides an accurate sRGB mode. Overall, the panel is therefore very suitable for editing images/videos.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 120 Hz Amplitude: 11 % |  | |
The display backlight flickers at 120 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 120 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17146 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The MagicBook Art 14's display uses PWM flickering or DC dimming with a frequency of 120 Hz and a low amplitude, which should not cause any problems.
Reflections on the highly reflective touchscreen are a problem outdoors, even when the sun is not shining. Direct incidence of light or bright surfaces behind the sitting position should be avoided. The viewing angle stability is very good.
Performance - Meteor Lake with 32 GB RAM
The MagicBook Art 14 is powered exclusively by the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor in conjunction with 16 or 32 GB LPDDR5x-7467 RAM. Dedicated graphics cards are not available.
Test conditions
Somewhat surprisingly, there are no additional energy profiles available in the PC Manager. We carried out the following benchmarks and measurements with the Windows performance mode Best Performance.
Processor - Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
The processor is Intel's Meteor Lake chip Core Ultra 7 155H, which offers a total of 16 cores. In the MagicBook Art 14, the processor briefly operates at 43 watts, but then quickly drops to 28 watts. Although the slim notebook does not set any performance records, the processor performance is perfectly sufficient for most everyday tasks and, as we will see later, the rather conservative power limits also have a positive effect on the fan behavior. The Snapdragon chips in some competitor models offer better performance in native CPU benchmarks.
In battery mode, the maximum consumption drops to 40/26 watts, which is why the multi-core performance is 15% lower here. Further CPU benchmarks are available here.

DPC latencies
In our standardized latency test (surfing the Internet, 4K YouTube playback, CPU load), one driver shows a deflection, but the important "interrupt-to-process-latency" value is low and there should be no restrictions when using real-time audio applications.

Mass storage
The 1 TB version of the YMTC PC300 is installed in the test device, of which 853 GB is available after the initial start-up. However, there are still two partitions on the Honor laptop and only 235 GB are free on the system drive, which can quickly lead to capacity problems if you are not careful with installations or downloads. The remaining 618 GB are available on the D drive. The performance of the PCIe 4.0 SSD is average and is perfectly adequate for normal tasks, and the transfer rates remain stable even under prolonged load. Further SSD benchmarks can be found here.
