HONOR [SmartChoice] MagicBook X14 (2023), 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12450H (16GB/512GB NVMe SSD, 14-inch (35.56 cm) FHD IPS Anti-Glare T&L Laptop/Win…

Purchased this laptop from amazon . First impression -> Good build quality – for the launch price of 51k after discounts for 16gb variant , no other laptop comes even close.
Now coming to usability and practicality – lets start with cons

CONS:

1) H series CPU in laptop means heating – when using multi tasking or running benchmarks – Laptop becomes too hot neat left side keyboard and palm area. Only single FAN is not sufficient for h series laptops . Being metal laptop, heat is spread across laptop . Multi core throttling happening when running benchmarks .If you are using for normal things like video ,browsing etc. then fine. Should have given 1240p instead as it would have bought IRIS graphics compared to current UHD . If you have to use it for performance or editing 4k etc. , skip this laptop. Ryzen 7 7730u is way less heat for good multi core performance and slight less single core

2) 720P webcam is horrible – image is blurred . In these days when most laptops come with good FHD cam , the camera is not usable for meetings . So its useless cam

3) The full sized keyboard has serious issue – backspace, shifty and enter key are half of usual size. Unnecessarily they have accommodated arrow keys as full keys and reduced size of right shift , enter and backspace keys . this causes so many issues while typing if you are used to standard keypads of laptops like dell , samsung , asus etc

4) Trackpad is small for 16 inch laptop – samsung laptop and dell laptops offer way bigger trackpads. Touchpad is responsive though.

5) Charger is brick charger, and when you insert in socket , its so wide that switch you cant access for on or off. Samsung also gives same charger but its well designed with groove for switches. Such an inconvenience.

6) Only one usb c port – so either you charge your laptop or use as display to connect external. Both cant be done. There is HDMI but usb c is very convenient for docks

PROS:

a) Best metal build around 50k
b) Best Screen in 50k – period. 16:10 aspect ratio is so productive while using editing videos and coding etc. 100% SRGB is BOE company manufactured screen which is very good for price. MATTE screen so less glare
c) Keyboard is good tactile (apart from con issue of size of keys which i mentioned earlier)
d) Color is very good. Looks premium
e) Performance is very good (apart from throttling in high intensive.)
f) Disk read write is very good. High frequency RAM used.
g) Speakers are best for 50k laptop price. Better than my Samsung book 3 speakers costing 75k

I also got free 1 year Microsoft office 365 personal (needed to add to card while ordering)

Overall still best laptop at 50k with core i5 12th gen and full metal build. Period .
Service may be a concern but as of now cant comment of that.

If webcam is improved, and double fan was used to reduce heating and keyboard was not shortened, this would have been best laptop!

I recieved this laptop with battery issues, when at first I turned on this laptop, it was heated miserably, which laptops gets heated while just scrolling through it’s settings?, later it was solved automatically and it didn’t hear that much, second the battery is literally worse, it took 7+ hours to reach from 27% to 58% and it dropped in less then 15 minutes, after using 2-3 days, charging duration become normal but battery drainage was still a big issue, as soon as I open and use it for 2-3 minutes, charging drops from 80 to 0, in easy words, I was only able to use it whilst charger plugged on, charger is a issue too, it’s design is frustrating, when I plug it’s charger, it’s that wide that it automatically turns on the charger switch, wifi connection sometimes shows some issues too whilst connecting, other then that I didn’t encounter any other issue, display and processor works well, I played ashphalt 9 in max settings and didn’t get any problem, keyboard and trackpad experience is good too, people say that it’s trackpad is too small but it’s enough over other then battery and it’s charger, everything’s fine.

I have this laptop since 20 days. The product delivered by amazon is good 👍. I am satisfied with my laptop performance. Battery backup good compare to other laptops laptops under this price segment. I don’t suggest this for heavy gaming but you can do gaming in low settings. I have installed GTA 5 and played 1080p settings the game play is not that much good.
