Honor is officially returning to the gaming laptop market with the upcoming release of the Honor WIN, set to debut in April. The company teased the device alongside the Delta Force Fiery Professional League, a cyber esports organization, signaling a strong focus on competitive gaming performance.
This launch wasn’t a surprise. Honor hinted at a comeback to the gaming category early in 2024 by reviving its Hunter brand, previously associated with gaming laptops. By December 2023, the PC division confirmed plans for a new gaming notebook arriving in 2024-now clarified as the WIN.
Leaked specs suggest the base model will include:
- Intel Core i7-14650HX processor
- Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU
- 16GB DDR5 RAM
- 512GB or 1TB SSD storage options
The higher-end configuration could offer:
- Intel Ultra 9 12900HX Plus CPU
- Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card
- Total system power consumption exceeding 250W, indicating strong gaming performance
Design-wise, the WIN inherits the Hunter series aesthetic by featuring a backlit logo and cyber esports styling, avoiding over-the-top aggressive gamer looks.
