Honor has now confirmed the release date of its next laptop, roughly 24 hours after its Vice President posted photos of the same device on Weibo. The laptop in question will arrive as the MagicBook Pro 14, which is not to be confused with Apple's MacBook Pro 14 (curr. $1,439 on Amazon).
Yesterday's photos highlighted that Honor's new MagicBook Pro 14 would combine a large battery with a pair of M.2 2280 slots and two heatsink fans. Not only do Honor's first teasers reiterate the inclusion of this hardware, but they also outline a few details ahead of the laptop's full reveal.
For example, Honor has now confirmed that the MagicBook Pro 14 will feature an OLED display that resolves at 3.1K. The laptop will be sold with '2nd Generation Intel Core Ultra Processors' too. Ultimately, this is a vague reference in its own regard. However, Honor's clarification that it will be using CPUs with up to 16 cores and 16 threads suggests that the MagicBook Pro 14 will leverage the Arrow Lake-H architecture.
In other words, Honor may offer the MagicBook Pro 14 with the Core Ultra 9 285H, which we recently reviewed in the latest Asus Zenbook Duo OLED. Honor boasts that its new MagicBook should last upwards of 12 hours between charges too, which tallies with our experience with the Zenbook Duo OLED and its 75 Wh battery. Honor will officially introduce the MagicBook Pro 14 with DeepSeek and YOYO AI integrations on February 26 at 06:30 (14:30 CST) in China; there is no word yet on an international release.
