Honor is expanding its laptop lineup with two new models, the MagicBook X14 Plus and X16 Plus, launching alongside updated MagicBook Pro 14 and Pro 16 (2026) models and a new WIN gaming laptop on April 23. These new laptops mark a significant update to Honor’s MagicBook series, potentially featuring Intel processors instead of the AMD chips used in previous models.
While detailed specs remain under wraps, the current MagicBook X14 and X16 run on AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS chips. Early reports suggest the new Plus versions might switch to Intel processors, marking a notable shift in the product lineup.
MagicBook X14 Plus and X16 Plus laptop specs and features
Official teasers reveal one of these laptops will feature a practical port selection:
- Two USB-C ports
- Two USB-A ports
- One HDMI port
- Headphone jack
This balanced set of connections is aimed at everyday productivity and easy peripheral support. Like previous Honor laptops, these new models are expected to include eye protection displays, Honor Connect technology for fast data transfer, screen mirroring, and multi-screen collaboration with other Honor devices. These features aim to enhance workflow for consumers within Honor’s ecosystem.
Honor will reveal full specs and pricing at the official launch event on April 23.
Honor MagicBook series positioning and processor shift
For context, Honor’s MagicBook series competes with mid-range laptops from Apple, Dell, and Lenovo, focusing on slim designs, decent performance, and features suited for students and professionals. A move to Intel processors would align it more directly against Intel-based rivals, shaking up the AMD-heavy lineup it has used until now.
Keep an eye on the April 23 event to see how Honor balances performance, price, and usability in the new MagicBook Plus models-and whether the switch in processors signals a larger strategic pivot for the brand amid global chip supply challenges.
