Honor MagicBook Pro 16 2024 - A multimedia laptop with a 165 Hz IPS panel and RTX 4060
The name MagicBook Pro 16 immediately conjures up thoughts of a multimedia laptop that has a good price-performance ratio. However, with the 2024 model, Honor is taking a new approach by presenting us with a multimedia laptop that comes with an up-to-date Intel Meteor Lake processor as well as the laptop version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. We are lucky to have been allowed to thoroughly review the new MagicBook Pro 16 before it officially hit the streets. In addition to the Core Ultra 7 155H and the GeForce RTX 4060 laptop, we have 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a matte, 500 cd/m² IPS display, 165 Hz and P3 coverage. At the time of testing, we are unable to name a price for this configuration.

Case - The MagicBook Pro comes with a plastic case
The MagicBook Pro 16 is available in either white or purple although a metallic-color has been applied to the screen lids. Apart from that, the device is very understated and, aside from the surrounding trim on the base unit, two black air inlets and the black screen frame, there are no design elements.
The case is completely made of plastic and, even though the finish is very good, our review device displayed evidence of slight creaking noises when handled. Stability appears to be very good with the center area of the keyboard remaining solid even when pressure is applied. That also applies to the thin screen lid as we were unable to provoke any image distortion. The hinges allow a maximum opening angle of 180 degrees and the lid can be opened with one hand, although, in doing so, the lid itself does tend to wobble slightly.
Within the field of comparison devices, the MagicBook Pro 16 belongs to the most compact machines and, at almost 1.8 cm, also the slimmest. The 1.9 kg laptop and the 200-watt PSU bring another 719 grams to the scales.
Features - Honor has installed Thunderbolt 4
The position of the ports is unusual. As well as both USB-C ports (1x Thunderbolt 4) on the left-hand side, all of the other ports can be found in the middle of the rear of the device. We would have preferred to have both USB-A ports on the right-hand side of the device. The HDMI output and as well as both of the USB-C connectors are connected via the iGPU meaning when you use an external display the Nvidia GPU isn't necessarily running. The HDMI output supports 4K output at 60 Hz but no higher frequencies and also no G-Sync.
Communication
The Wi-Fi module is the familiar Intel AX201 one which means the MagicBook Pro supports neither Wi-Fi 6E nor Wi-Fi 7. However, there are currently no big limitations and the transfer speeds in our test with the Asus reference router are very high and stable. Anyone using additional Honor devices can also easily send files between the two devices or, for example, display smartphone content on the PC.

Webcam
The 1080p webcam supports Windows studio effects (soft focus, eye contact, head tracking) and the camera's quality can be described as average.
Maintenance
The bottom case cover is secured with some Torx screws (T6) and can be removed easily. Inside the device, both fans can be cleaned and both the battery and the SSD can be replaced. However, all of the other components including the RAM and Wi-Fi module are soldered.
Input devices - A numerical pad and awkward clickpad
The MagicBook Pro 16 offers a large keyboard with a numerical keypad and white backlighting. This can be activated automatically but the contrast between the white keys and the lighting is very low which means their visibility under poor lighting conditions can be even worse. But that is a general problem to be found in light-colored keyboards. Apart from that, the typing experience is very comfortable and makes even longer texts a piece of cake. The power button is at the top right and, as well as being integrated into the keyboard, it houses the fingerprint scanner.
At 13.5 x 8.2 cm, the large clickpad offers sufficient space for mouse movement and gestures with up to four fingers but the swiping experience on the plastic surface is not perfect. During the tests, we also had occasional problems with the pad since the inputs were only registered after a small delay. That was very annoying but, with it only happening from time to time, we reckon it's only a driver problem. In the lower area, the pad can be physically pressed but this comes with loud clicking noises.
Display - IPS at 165 Hz
The display is a matte, 16:10 IPS panel with a resolution of 3,072 x 1,920 pixels. The subjective image quality is very good but the colors are not as vibrant as those to be found in OLED panels. Despite its matte surface, bright areas don't appear grainy and PWM is absent. In dark scenes, you can see slight light bleed at the edges but this isn't annoying in everyday use. The response times are pleasantly fast and there are no problems here when it comes to playing games.
We measured a maximum brightness of more than 550 cd/m² (an average of 524cd/m²) and the benefit when compared to current OLED panels (~360-400 cd/m² in SDR operation) is that you always have access to this brightness. Nevertheless, the big downside is the increased black level of 0.52 cd/m² and this means black content is more like dark gray than black. That also affects the maximum contrast that only sits at a little more than 1.000:1.

* ... smaller is better
Honor doesn't offer any color profiles meaning there is also no option of being able to restrict the color space from P3 to sRGB. We analysed the panel using the professional CalMAN software and the gray scale deviations are very low. However, there is a slight blue hue paired with a color temperature which is a touch on the cool side but this isn't particularly problematic. In terms of the colors, only blue is a little above the target value of 3 and this can be considered solid performance. With our calibration, (the corresponding free, downloadable profile can be found above) we managed to get both the color hue and color temperature under control and the resulting average color deviations are smaller with the only hitch still being the color blue.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8492 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The pairing of a matte panel and its high brightness is, of course, an advantage outdoors. This even means outdoor use on sunny days is possible as long as you avoid direct sunlight. The viewing angle stability is good with only slight image brightening present when viewing the display from above at an angle.
Performance - Meteor Lake and RTX 4060 laptop
Test conditions
Honor offers two energy profiles: Smart and high-performance. As is the standard, smart mode is active and the high-performance mode is only available when plugged into the wall. In the following table, we have listed the respective TDP/TGP values. We carried out the following measurements using the smart mode.
| Energy profile | CPU loadt | CB R23 Multi | GPU load | Time Spy Graphics | Cyberpunk 2077 QHD Ultra | max. fan volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart | 90->60 watts | 19,007 points | 65 watts | 9,026 points | 36.5fps | 45 dB(A) |
| High performance | 90->78 watts | 19,112 points | 115 watts | 11,153 points | 46.3fps | 53.2 dB(A) |
Processor - Core Ultra 7 155H
The new Core Ultra 7 155H offers 16 cores (22 threads) and is the successor to the Core i7-13700H. In the case of the MagicBook Pro, the processor can draw a maximum of 90 watts falling subsequently to 60 watts. This means the overall performance is on the same level as the old Core i7-13705H found in the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 16 as well as the Ryzen 9 7940HS.
Cinebench R15 multi continuous test
Additionally, in our CB R15 multi-loop, the performance also showed itself to remain stable even when put under load for longer periods. With the high-performance mode, the maximum performance stays the same and, with longer periods of load, the results are a little higher. In battery mode, the maximum consumption sits briefly at 60 watts and then quickly drops to 45 watts. This is why the multi-core performance is around 20 % lower in this area. Additional CPU benchmarks are available in our technology section.

System performance
Although the synthetic benchmark results are average, in everyday use, the MagicBook Pro 16 is a very responsive laptop that can implement inputs without any noticeable delays. We only experienced a brief delay when switching to the Nvidia GPU (e.g. when booting a game) and this is normal when switching to Advanced Optimus. Anyone bothered by this can activate the normal Optimus switch in the Nvidia drivers.

Mass storage
The PCIe 4.0 SSD found in our review device originates from Western Digital (SN740) and offers 1 GB of storage capacity, although the user only has access to 847 GB on the first boot up. However, as with previous Honor devices, the SSD is partitioned and 221 GB are available on the system drive with the remaining 626 GB available on the D drive. That is unnecessary and can quickly lead to problems when installing games if you are not careful with the target directory. The SSD's performance is very good but not completely stable under continuous load. Additional SSD benchmarks are listed here.

Graphics card
The integrated Arc iGPU takes care of everyday applications including the playback of high-resolution videos, and in addition to this, the device automatically switches to its GeForce RTX 4060 laptop when running demanding applications (Advanced Optimus). Basically, we are dealing with a very fast variant of the RTX 4060 laptop at 115 watts, albeit only in high-performance mode. It's 65 watts in smart mode and, likewise, this is sufficient for good performance values. In high-performance mode, the device elbows its way to the front of the pack of competing devices and this can be seen in the Time Spy result. In this area, the MagicBook can keep up with the competition which is equipped with the weaker variant of the RTX 4070 laptop.
The GPU's performance remains completely stable, even under longer periods of load (with both energy profiles) and easily passes the Time Spy stress test (99,1 %). In battery mode, the GPU can draw a maximum of 50 watts which is why the GPU performance is 15 % lower in this area (compared to the smart mode). Additional GPU benchmarks are available here.

Gaming performance
All in all, the gaming performance is very good and it's possible to play demanding games smoothly at 1080p and maximum detail settings. At even higher resolutions or with ray tracing, it's not possible to ignore upscaling technologies such as Nvidia's DLSS. In addition, the following table shows the differences between both energy profiles. Using the smart mode, it's also possible, within reason, to play without having to reach for headphones.

Emissions - Honor has installed powerful cooling
Noise emissions
For its cooling components, Honor uses multiple heat pipes and two large fans. In idle use and running simple tasks, the device is mostly silent or there is only a slight noise level of around 27 dB(A). Brief load peaks can also usually be handled without the fans revving up. When playing games and during the stress test, at 42-45 dB(A), the fans then make themselves heard but the whirring noise isn't annoying and, just as importantly, they remain constant. Thanks to the good speakers, you can also play this way without headphones. At 50-53.7 dB(A) in high-performance mode, it gets significantly louder. There were no other electronic noises present in the review device.

Temperature
The MagicBook Pro 16's surface temperatures give no cause for concern. In idle use, the case remains very cool and, even under load, the temperatures don't exceed 40 °C on the bottom of the device and are considerably lower than 40 °C in the keyboard area - again no cause for concern. We also measured the temperatures using the optional high-performance mode. Although they are a few degrees higher, these can also be considered good values, in face of the good performance (see the next section).
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39.7 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 42.9 °C / 109 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 22.9 °C / 73 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 32.6 °C / 91 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.3 °C / 79.3 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (+2.5 °C / 4.5 F).

Stress test
In the stress test, the MagicBook Pro 16 performed very well. Using smart mode, the CPU and GPU settled to 35 and 45 watts, respectively and almost 40 watts (CPU) and 100 watts (GPU) in the high-performance mode. Of course, in this case, the fans get louder but the temperatures remain totally acceptable. In battery mode, the stress test consumption dropped to 25 watts for the CPU and 50 watts for the GPU.
Speakers
The sound system consists of 6 speakers which generally provide good sound and they are about the same level as other multimedia devices such as the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 16. More is possible, especially when it comes to bass but that is high-level moaning

Power consumption
Running idle at full brightness, the IPS display requires up to 15 watts which is very acceptable considering the high brightness and resolution. In the stress test, we briefly measured a maximum of 196 watts although these values quickly settled to 115 watts. In the high-performance mode, we also recorded a maximum of 196 watts but this value stayed longer at this level and then settled to roughly 170 watts. In both cases, the supplied 200-watt PSU is more than sufficient.

Battery life
The 75 Wh battery allows for very good run times with adaptive brightness set to 150 cd/m² (representing 55% of the review device's maximum brightness). At 60 Hz, our Wi-Fi test ran for more than 12 hours and, at 165 Hz, it ran for 9 hours and 20 minutes. If you use the full display brightness, you can get around 6 hours and this is where the higher frequency no longer has a major influence (359 minutes at 165 Hz). Our video test (set to 150 cd/m²) ran for more than 13 hours but, under maximum load and at full brightness, it's possible to completely drain the battery within 58 minutes. A full charging cycle, with the device turned on, only takes 62 minutes and you have access to 80 % after only 34 minutes.

Pros

Verdict - The MagicBook Pro 16 is a surprisingly good multimedia laptop
With the new MagicBook Pro 16, Honor is breaking new ground and bringing a powerful multimedia laptop to the market that is interesting for both content creators and gamers. In particular, when it comes to cooling, the device is impressive even in the first run-through. Using smart mode, a good balance has been found between performance and fan volume meaning you can play games without headphones. In the high-performance mode, the combined CPU/GPU performance load is very pronounced and comes at the cost of fan volume. In both cases, the surface temperatures give no cause for concern. Demanding titles benefit from the combination of the new Core Ultra 7 155H and the GeForce RTX 4060 laptop together with Advanced Optimus and fit well to a multimedia laptop.
In terms of the display, Honor has not gone for mini LED or OLED but has opted for a classic IPS panel with a high resolution of 3,072 x 1,920 pixels. The surface is matte which is why colors are not very vibrant, meaning you will have to live with some limitations, especially in the areas of black levels and contrast ratio. However, the advantage is that PWM is absent and the panel's full brightness of more than 500 nits is accessible in normal SDR operation. Likewise, the response times are pleasantly fast. Anyone who likes to edit photos and videos will be annoyed that there is no sRGB profile.
The new Honor MagicBook Pro 16 is a very balanced multimedia laptop with powerful components and effective cooling. The bright, matte IPS panel doesn't suffer from PWM and offers a high frequency of 165 Hz as well as speedy response times.
Additional advantages are the comfortable keyboard and its numerical pad, the 6-speaker sound system as well as the Wi-Fi performance, even though you have to do without the current standards (Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7). In terms of ports, more would have been possible (for example, HDMI 2.1 with G-Sync), but, at least with Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.0, the most important standards are covered. The location of the USB-A ports on the rear of the device is not perfect and these would have fit better on the right-hand side of the device.
We were also not completely bowled over by the plastic case as this is responsible for some creaking noises, even though the stability itself is very good. Additionally, although it is not possible to expand the RAM, our 32 GB review configuration ought to be sufficient for most users. In tests, on a few occasions, the clickpad didn't work properly but with this only happening sporadically we presume it has something to do with driver problems. Hopefully, this can get sorted out before the device hits the market.
And that's where we come to our next problem. Unfortunately, we currently don't have any information regarding the availability (presumably as of the second quarter) or price, which is why it's difficult to make comparisons with competing devices such as the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16, at the moment. We will add the information as soon as possible.
Price and availability
The new Honor MagicBook Pro 16 2024 is expected to be available globally as of the second quarter. At the current time, we are not yet able to name the RRP.
