Honor MagicBook Pro 16 teased as being 'smarter' than Apple MacBook and Samsung Galaxy Book laptops

Honor has outlined that it intends to bring yet another product to this year's MWC conference. For context, the company announced last month that it would use MWC 2024 to present the Magic6 Pro globally, having unveiled the device in China last year. Incidentally, European and UK pricing details leaked online, details of which we have covered separately.

More recently, Honor hinted that it would be bringing not just the Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design to MWC 2024 too but also a second Porsche Design co-created smartphone. While that was interpreted by some as the rumoured Magic6 RSR Porsche Design, Honor has only confirmed so far that the Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design will be available globally. By contrast, it has now confirmed these smartphones will be joined by a new MagicBook Pro 16, which it describes in the following terms:

Arguably, the teaser image below goes further by implying that the MagicBook Pro 16 is somehow 'smarter' than any of Samsung's (SAM) or Apple's (MAC) recent efforts. In its press release, Honor adds that the MagicBook Pro 16 will deliver 'on-device AI' and 'platform-level AI capabilities'. Unfortunately, it has not provided any other concrete details at this stage, other than restating its February 25 global launch event, which commences at 14:00 CET (13:00 UTC). However, the continued reference to the MagicBook Pro 16 as an 'AI PC' suggests that Honor will leverage Intel's Meteor Lake architecture, which draws more heavily on AI tools than AMD Hawk Point or equivalents.
