In the era of mobile office, laptops play a particularly important role in productivity tools. Over the past few decades, laptops have been constantly evolving and subdividing into many categories, thin and light laptops and business laptops. , gaming notebooks, etc. to meet the needs of different users. It was also a few years ago that mobile phone manufacturers led by Huawei began to make a big move into the PC field, promoting a wave of intelligent changes in the traditional PC industry. Up to now, there has been a situation where brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Honor MagicBook Pro 16 have flourished. In the AI ​​era, the PC industry will also usher in changes again.
On the evening of March 18, Honor held a spring flagship new product launch conference, officially bringing a variety of new products such as Magic6 Premium Edition, Magic6 RSR Porsche Design, MagicBook Pro 16, etc. Among them, MagicBook Pro 16 is also Honor’s first AI PC product, which not only inherits the implementation of Honor’s AI strategy in the PC field but also a sword for New Honor to the traditional PC industry and the intelligent PCs of friendly companies among new forces. Next, I will take you to see what is dazzling about Honor’s AI PC, and why it can make consumers fall in love with it among thousands of PCs at first sight.
I vaguely remember the first notebook I bought in college. Its positioning is a business notebook. Its appearance is not matched by lightness and thinness, and its performance is not outstanding. A thick shell carries every bit of my college. At that time, I had no idea about laptops. After graduating from university, I replaced a thin and light laptop, which was also the first laptop made by Honor MagicBook at that time. This product gave me a way to make a PC with mobile phone brands. A more systematic understanding.
Now when this MagicBook Pro 16 is in front of me, putting aside AI capabilities, I seem to be able to understand why Honor is making such a laptop. First of all, from the perspective of thin and light notebooks, they need to carry the mobile office needs of most office workers and must be thin enough. As a 16-inch laptop (discrete version), MagicBook Pro 16 is about 17.9mm thin and weighs 1.86kg. It is difficult to find competitors of the same level on the market. In addition to being thin and thin, MagicBook Pro 16 is also fashionable. The two colors of the night and clouds are stable and elegant. They are rare notebooks in recent years that Honor can be called beautiful, and fashionable people will also become the audience.
Thin products are often weak and struggle with heavy-duty office tasks or gaming scenarios. However, the Honor MagicBook Pro 16 addresses this issue. It comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. In HUNTER mode, it releases up to 140W of power, boosting performance. This allows the laptop to handle both demanding office tasks and gaming needs efficiently. There’s no need for a separate gaming laptop or console. Simply use e-sports keyboards and mice to enjoy seamless performance.
It is worth mentioning that on Honor MagicBook Pro 16, we can also see the shadow of the 2020 Honor Hunter Gaming Pub V700, which will give old users an inexplicable feeling. Although Honor has not updated the gaming laptop product for more than three years, this time MagicBook Pro 16 has used some designs on the gaming laptop, which is a different kind of romance. I just don’t know if I will continue to build the gaming laptop category in the future. We might as well look forward to it in the future.
Let’s look at the AI ​​capabilities of Honor MagicBook Pro 16. Through the collaboration between Honor and Intel, it finally became a very interesting AI PC.
First of all, Honor OS Turbo 3.0, can perform targeted scene recognition, issue high-performance strategies, improve performance release, and achieve more than a 20% increase in application startup, and more than a 5% increase in import and export. For game scenarios, it can ensure the best Performance and improve the game frame rate.
The second is the magic AI workbench, which consists of two parts: YOYO Assistant and Super Workbench, which is the final presentation of Honor AI capabilities on PC products.
This time, YOYO Assistant has brought together three functions: smart search, document summary, and intelligent recommendation. When we need to summarize the documents, we can just send them to the YOYO Assistant directly. The experience is really good, and it is very significant to improve work efficiency.
The Super Workbench includes Smart Internet, Global Collection, Honor Notes, and Honor Calendar. These features help users perform immersive work. They also allow multi-terminal collaboration. Some may wonder why the Honor Calendar is part of the Super Workbench. This is because it aligns with Honor’s human-centered super agenda. Honor devices can synchronize schedules across multiple terminals. After integration, the mobile phone understands cross-modal semantics. It also learns behavioral features and integrates perception based on AI models. This provides users with essential daily reminders.

Written at the end
As part of Honor’s people-centered full-scene strategy, the PC is a product the company must excel in. Over the past few years, Honor laptops have served many loyal users, showcasing the brand’s innovation. This new product marks a milestone in Honor’s efforts to advance in the PC market. With AI integration, the Honor MagicBook Pro 16 leads in both thin and light notebooks and light gaming laptops. However, it’s not just a thin and light notebook or a gaming machine. It’s better described as an all-around notebook.
Before the press conference, I also discussed this product with my friends. Some people may think it seems “mediocre”. As a thin and light notebook, it is not extremely thin enough, and the performance of the gaming notebook is not completely released. However, for me, this kind of Moderate design can meet the office and life needs of most people. Not everyone has two PCs to meet their own multi-faceted needs. A notebook in the middle makes the original demands that have no intersections intersect. When the two sides collide, it is the AI ​​MagicBook Pro 16. The field that PCs are best at.
