Reviews for the Honor Magicbook 14 i7-1165G7

84.9% Honor MagicBook 14 laptop review: i7 Tiger Lake at the same level as the Ryzen model | Notebookcheck
This year's update of the Honor MagicBook 14 brings Intel's Tiger Lake processors to the compact notebook. In our test configuration, we therefore compare Intel's Core i7-1165G7 with the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U that Honor used in last year's model.
80% Honor MagicBook 14 (2021) review: An honourable refresh
Source: Expert Reviews English
A decent if unambitious update, the introduction of a Core i7 processor and integrated graphics could be seen as a bit of a step sideways from the Ryzen 5 system it replaces, especially as the price has increased at the same time. So while the new MagicBook is a powerful, stylish and well-made laptop with improved battery life, the high price, Type-A 2.0 port, half-baked Type-C connector and daft webcam positioning all count against it, preventing a full recommendation.

82% Honor Magic Book 14 (2021) review: finding the right balance
Source: Phandroid English
The Honor Book 14 (2021) is a well-balanced laptop for those who want a device to get work done, surf the web and play the occasional game. It would have been nice is Honor has updated the design a bit to make it distinguishable from its predecessor (or even Apple’s products), but there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with how the laptop is built. For its 1,000€ price tag, the specs you get are very compelling. You’ll just have a hard time getting your hands on one as the laptop isn’t available in the US and Honor seems to have limited distribution across Europe as well.

70% Honor MagicBook 14 2021 (Intel Edition) laptop review
Source: Techradar English
The MagicBook 14 2021 (Intel Edition) is a minor upgrade. Honor missed an opportunity to make a lasting impression by doing something different. Expect some significant price cuts over the next few months in an attempt to make it far more competitive.

80% Honor MagicBook 14 (2021) review: I love the performance, but this design needs to go
Source: Neowin English
As you'd expect, performance on Honor's MagicBooks has gotten better with every generation, and with this particular update, it got the biggest boost yet thanks to the switch from mid-range processors to a high-end one. Because of that and everything else being almost exactly the same, this is naturally my favorite MagicBook yet.

While the upgrades are welcome, it might not have been the best decision for Honor to move into the premium end of the laptop market. The MagicBook 14 was one of the best – if not the best - value-for-money laptops you could buy, but now it competes with flagship models from the top names. Don’t get me wrong, performance of the top-of-the-range model I tested is excellent and the display is a big improvement on the previous generation. And it still comes in a stylish and well-made chassis. But you'd expect these things given the corresponding increase in price.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

14.00":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Honor:

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).


77.43%: 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.
