A laptop’s biggest weakness is its battery life. As far as portable devices go, smartphones still win out in endurance contests. Huawei-owned brand Honor hopes to cut the problem with their first laptop inspired by the flexibility of smartphones.

Recently launched in China, Honor’s new laptop — the Honor MagicBook — promises up to 12 hours of uptime with one full charge. Despite its focus on battery life, the laptop still lives up to modern standards on performance and versatility.

The MagicBook’s 14-inch frame shares its sleekness with the MacBook Air. It is only 15.8mm thick and 1.47kg light. The laptop’s IPS screen churns out a max resolution of 1080p.

Under the hood, the MagicBook ships with an 8th-gen Intel Core i7-8550U processor. It has 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. For graphics, it’s powered by a NVIDIA MX150 2GB GDDR5 graphics chip.

For lighter users, the laptop comes in a lower variant with an Intel Core i5-8250U processor. The lower variant packs in 4GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. It will carry the same NVIDIA card as the top variant.

Additionally, the laptop’s hinge opens up to 180 degrees, allowing for a completely flat interface. The keyboard comes with a flurry of custom options including personalized shortcuts, Wi-Fi switches, and a Fn lock.

The MagicBook is powered by a large 57.4Wh battery. As mentioned above, it promises up to 12 hours of uptime, regardless of usage. The laptop’s charging method is through a USB-C port. Further, the laptop also offers connectivity options for USB-A 3.0, USB-A 2.0, HDMI, and a 3.5mm audio port.

The larger i7 variant retails for CNY 5,700 (US$ 905). Meanwhile, the lower i5 variant retails for CNY 5,000 (US$ 795). At this time, Honor will launch the laptop exclusively in China, starting April 23. We’re still hoping that it comes out in other territories.
