Even though the Honor MagicBook Art 14 has been around for some time, the laptop just received a Snapdragon update. That is not the only highlight of this device though, as it takes a really innovative approach with its webcam too! Let’s discuss the Honor MagicBook Art 14 more in this article and its expected price in Nepal too.
Honor MagicBook Art 14 Overview
Detachable Webcam
The main “wow” factor of this laptop is definitely its webcam. Normally, it sits hidden inside the laptop, pretending to be a button on the side. However, after you press it, the 1080P FHD camera reveals itself. Then you can magnetically attach it on top of your screen and voila! It works just like a regular webcam, which you can also flip to the other side if you want to show whatever is behind you.
Design and Display
This innovative approach has allowed Honor to keep thin bezels around the screen of the MagicBook Art 14. Despite having an all-metal body, the laptop is slim and light measuring just 11.50 mm in thickness and weighing approximately 1.03 kg. It comes in two colours: monotone Emerald Green, and Sunrise White with a gradient finish.
Due to its thin build, it does not cram wide port options. However, with a Thunderbolt 4, a full-function USB-C, one USB-A, an HDMI, and a combo audio jack, it should facilitate regular folks and business personnel well enough.
Moving on to the front, this laptop comes with a 14.6-inch touchscreen. It is an OLED panel with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 3.1K resolution. The Honor MagicBook Art 14 can switch between 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rate and offers 700 nits of typical brightness. It also covers 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and gives a vibrant viewing experience. Furthermore, it has TÜV Rheinland hardware-level low blue light and flicker-free certification along with 4,320Hz PWM dimming.

Performance
The Honor MagicBook Art 14 comes in two processor choices — Intel and Qualcomm. If you choose Intel you can either have Intel Core Ultra 5 125H or Ultra 7 155H. Meanwhile, if you go with Qualcomm, it appears the only option available right now is the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100. It isn’t the strongest processor in the series, but it should hold enough capability to help you power through your tasks and on-device AI demands.
Additionally, the laptop can be configured with dual-channel LPDDR5X memory with a frequency of 7,467MHz. There are only two choices for the RAM capacity, which are 16GB and 32GB. Contrarily, the Honor MagicBook Art 14 comes in a single storage option i.e. 1TB. Powering everything is a 60Wh battery, which can fully charge in just over 1.5 hours. The company does not clarify the wattage of the charging speed though. Likewise, the laptop has a cooling system as well, complete with a heat dissipation vapour chamber.
