I have to say that for me the webcam is bad compared to other laptops I have used. Resolution is sub par and image quality is like those of bad vga cameras in the past - grainy and inaacurate color.

I’ll do a quick review later ~

But so far everything is really good ~

Compare to huawei mate book same price at 2299

backlit keyboard : honor magicbook : yes | huawei matebook : no

SSD : Honor magicbook : 512GB | huawei matebook : 256GB

Speakers : honor magicbook : 2 upward speaker 2 down firing speakers (4 speakers ) | huawei matebook : 2 down firing speakers only

Colour : honor magicbook space grey | huawei Matebook: silver ( space grey looks nicer for me )

Webcam : honor magic book : place at the top of the screen | huawei matebook : Place weirdly angle at the Keyboard

If same price at rm2299 , honor magicbook u get 512GB ssd with ryzen r5 3500u ~ Huawei at rm2899 only u get 512GB ssd but you’ll get ryzen R7 3700u

Problem is ryzen 7 vs ryzen 5 , both performance very similar . Because it’s running at 15Watt . Means even u get r7 , but due to 15Watt setting , the performance Difference are really not much

Visited your review page, really well done. Will be subscribing to the topic.
I didn't get the honor watch, what a bummer.
The magic book is for my daughter thus will be seldom using it.
Thanks.

Someone I know used it and so far, I see no complaints. I've tried it and there is nothing groundbreaking with the laptop but there is also nothing wrong with it.

The Honor Magicbook is definitely a great value buy and I may be getting it for work in the future.

yup , the value is what really stands out here , i mean for 2.2lk with decent specs & full aluminum body , if u compare around like asus , acer , lenovo , dell .. most of them offer plastic body which i really stay away due to the durability , looks and color fading on the plastic .

no doubt the magicbook its a good workhorse with really good build . biggrin.gif

I shiver everytime I hear the word ACER. Aku CEpat Rosak. Even Honor's alum body feels damn good.

Hi. I just bought this laptop just over a month. But i am faced with these display issues where sometimes on browsing on chrome or videos and while opening excel spreadsheet, appear green pixelated and bars. Anyone faced too or know what to do? What ive done was sending it to honor /huawei service center, got it checked and they simply updated the driver, claiming it completed. After retrieving, the problem still remain.

Is this hardware problem? Graphic card? Mainboard? Or simply software driver? Because it only happens sometimes and randomly. Thanks
