Title: Honor MagicBook Pro 16 2024 - A multimedia laptop with a 165 Hz IPS panel and RTX 4060
Post by: Redaktion on March 02, 2024, 18:42:49
Up to now, the MagicBook Pro 16 was known for being a multimedia computer, however, with its new 2024 version, Honor is bringing a powerful multimedia/gaming laptop to the marketplace. The device dazzles with features such as a 165 Hz IPS panel as well as Advanced Optimus. In our review, the computer impressed us, especially with its good cooling.

I think this laptop is quite interesting based on what was shown at MWC, and I've got even more interested after reading this review, but there's really a single M.2 SSD slot?

I would definitely never buy this Intel laptop.
IT DOES NOT HAVE (Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7) incomprehensible
IT DOES NOT HAVE HDMI 2.1
LPDDR5-5600 very low instead of the 6000 of other laptops.
THE HDMI 2.0 outputs are only 4K at 60 Hz, I don't understand why HDMI 2.1 is not included
IPS screen without PWM incomprehensible and they all have LEDs
BAD location of USB ports at the back, annoying.
Impossible to buy this laptop and we still don't know its price.

why even discuss hdmi if there's thunderbolt 4 displayport
hdmi is a mostly a legacy port now, for hardware like projectors or tv output, so you don't have to bring converter if you are e.g. giving lectures

Again, Huawei is saving where it is not necessary or they simply do not have access to purchase fast LPDDR5 7500 memory. Compare with competitors. Although the difference in real speed is not so great (the efficiency of the 7500 even with the Ultra 9 185H is very low), but the memory latency is simply monstrous 140ns+ is no good, especially for the 5600.

Is there a second M.2 2242 port visible inside, next to the wired Wi-Fi? Why is it not listed by the author in the upgrade options? Although, of course, finding a decent 2242 is almost impossible.

The screen can be called sane, if not for the very low contrast of 1000:1. But again the question is - does Huawei now have access to more contrasting panels in bulk...
Didn't reach 95% AdobeRGB.

The keyboard is no good again - the numpad is completely damaged. It's better if the keys on it are slightly narrowed in width, but the classic numpad and the arrow block shifted downwards are like on Legion. There is room there for 16".

The processor, as expected, behaves better at 60W than competitors at a lower PL1, but this immediately leads to increased noise. Although of course 60W, it's still not 100+ as before. But Zen4+ would clearly be better here. As usual, AMD processors are either not yet produced in mass quantities, or AMD is deliberately holding them back for the sake of sales of old series.

The ports are poorly located - at least one USB-a is needed on the right. You can even have a hidden usb 2.0 port for a mouse transmitter, like in some Lenovo models. One USB-c/TB should be in the back, not on the side.

Again, in such a large case and a lot of empty space at the back and sides, not installing RJ45 at 5Gbps (at least the old 2.5) is pure redneck. This is always necessary for a stable network with minimal pings. And this is against the backdrop of shame with the morally outdated anachronism AX201 soldered 4 (!!!) years ago! Why didn't they solder the cheap BE200?! It retails for $23-25! And here you don't even need the full version, because... there is CNVi 3.0+.

The HDMI 2.0 port, which is morally outdated by 8(!) years, instead of the built-in HDMI 2.1/FRL6 in MeteorLake, is already an INTENTIONAL redneck from Huawei marketers; the engineers would not have done that.

In general, they could also solder DP2.0+/UHBR20. Moreover, they also jammed the second TB4 port...

And tell me, what's stopping them all from adding a second audio port on the right, symmetrically to the first? It's convenient for both right-handers and left-handers and you can quickly build a quad analog system with 4 speakers around it from literally anything.

Looking at this insanity in components and wiring of strange parts, one gets the impression that sanctions are still putting pressure on Huawei and their ability to select the necessary components is rapidly decreasing. Well, or this is pure redneck with cheap components.

In general, another strange Frankenstein from Huawei that is unlikely to be in demand both among gamers (the video card is morally outdated for the latest 2.5k games) and among those who take a universal laptop with maximum upgrade capabilities and a comfortable full-fledged keyboard with a full classic numpad.

Since you installed a cheap, outdated LPDDR5 5600, put it in the slots, and don't solder it.

It all depends on the price for someone to be interested in such a solution, but compared to the Legion lines, it still does not stand up to any criticism. Only if the price is significantly lower. Light weight is useless, without a power supply it still won't work for a long time, and at home silence with heavier radiators and large coolers is more important.

Huawei, like Lenovo, lacks an 18" line for the home - a workhorse without discrete data, but with a bunch of conveniently located latest ports, expansion slots inside (well, something like the Acer Aspire 5 2023 - 2xM.2 2280/2 x RAM slot), high-quality high-contrast IPS (1500:1+) 4k@120Hz 16:10 and a full keyboard with a full classic number pad, with good, elastic tactile feedback.And of course, on the latest chips from AMD.

Huawei could probably compete with the largest brands in the future, but its days are numbered in terms of access to Western components.

Honor is Huawei's "budget" line (like Redmi is Xiaomi's) so looking from that aspect this here is one mighty fine device for correct price. If they price it well this will sell easily because it looks great and yeah it's a plastic body but it also seems very solidly built (creaking is normal for large but thin plastic laptops, that's how plastic works; you get a bit of creaking but also a bit better chassis temperatures). So kudos on that.

The author complains about the touchpad but yeah, that's what you get with budget-oriented devices and cheap plastic touchpads. Glass one would be awesome for sure but without it there's always a pretty solid solution to put a sticker on top of it to improve gliding capabilities by a lot.

Laptop's included charger is comically large in size. Headphone jack is located on easily the dumbest possible location but at least it's not on the same spot on the right side. One USB port on the right would be nice to have but it's fine without anything considering that they are on the rear side. No complaints about anything else, very nice laptop overall. The screen is great, high resolution, fast, no PWM, bright and clearly visible outside so that fact makes me think that this won't be particularly cheap laptop, hm. We'll see.

Why do you want to play 2560x1600 on a 3072x1920 screen? What's wrong with 1536x960? I mean it's you who always everywhere claims how 4K screen is absolutely needed in laptops to work in 4K and play in FHD because of integer scaling where you get pixel-perfect and razor-sharp image at 4x lower resolution (but are refusing to show me 960x540 on your 1080p laptop). Let me quote you: "We work in 4K, we play in FHD." There you go, integer scaling is right here.

Because it's stupid low resolution.

If you have a 4k screen, you can easily switch it to fhd resolution with ideal (sub)pixel sharpness and with a much smaller interpixel distance visible on the screen, because it is significantly less than on native fhd matrices. And this further improves the visual quality of the picture even in fhd mode on 4k panels.

It's a shame for the entire laptop industry that they don't have, without exception, in 2023-2024 only screens with a high pixel density - at least 220-230ppi. Only starting with such a density of dots, the text looks almost perfect even from 25-35cm. Like printed on a laser printer.

This is exactly what everyone needs. And you can play in fhd mode by switching 4k to this mode, because... they are perfectly compatible at the pixel level. Increasing fps immediately by 3-4 times.

'25-35cm' is unhealthy lol
manufacturers consider everyone is a normal person looking at their laptop/desktop screen from around 51 cm away.
around 220ppi is enough

25cm -a default avg distance for phones screens - requires double than that, that's why phones have 450+ ppi

ppi is a misleading metric, proper screen-agnostic metric is 'pixels per degree in field of view', that has to be around 80-90 pixels for EVERY screen to be considered 'retina'

QuoteDell's U3224KB is a 31.5-inch monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 60 Hz refresh rate. When we saw it at a press event, a company spokesperson said the monitor's form factor is based on power users' preference for 220–260 pixels per inch (ppi) in high-end notebooks. Dell wanted to incorporate that same level of pixel density in a 32-inch-class screen, a popular size among its users.

That's not a mobile device. High resolutions such as 4k and beyond absolutely murder battery life. For mobile devices, battery life is paramount.

It is 71.1% of FHD. Good enough for what you get with what you claim to be the case:

1536x960 on a 3072x1920 panel is identical as 1920x1080 on a 3840x2160 - 4 pixels are binned to 1, perfectly round numbers for nice and sharp picture in both cases as you claim. That's theory. The only problem is that they both look equally blurry if you do that in practice.

Absolutely not, with the right hardware and drivers, when running on battery power, you can switch to fhd@60Hz mode instead of 4k and dramatically increase battery life at the cost of text clarity. But why suffer so much from PSU?

outside of gaming changing screen resolution or refresh rate will provide a very small battery life extension.
because - surprise surprise - screen backlighting is the biggest consumer

Just switching to a lower-resolution mode most definitely won't help with battery life because the 4K panel is still taking higher amount of power (than a FHD panel) regardless of what data is sent to it. The power savings will not come from the display when you lower the resolution; the saving come from the GPU because it doesn't have to render as many pixels. Switching to lower refresh rate will help though.

The amount of data sent in fhd mode is exactly 4 (four) times less and the load on the RAM and processor, as well as on the gpu, is 4 times less. The panel electronics itself also understands that it needs to turn 4k pixels on and off individually, or they can be grouped in 2x2 operations in fhd mode, which greatly speeds up the exchange of the panel controller with the matrix.

Therefore, everything written above is simply nonsense from a technical point of view. If a 4k panel (and a laptop with it) in fhd@60Hz mode does not sharply reduce consumption (excluding the backlight brightness, which is the same in both fhd and 4k mode for IPS), then this is the direct fault of the careless developers of such a panel - in fhd@60fps mode Nothing except the backlight prevents her from reducing consumption. And the load on the processor/gpu drops exactly 4 times, although consumption decreases non-linearly.

lol it's not about the "load" it's about how many cores are powered and what their frequency is. showing desktop@4k is around minimal frequency, load is non-existent, you can't go lower.

checked gpu power consumption with two screens, mbp 16 + 5k external - 0.02-0.03 watts with two fullscreen browsers lol, if i turn external screen off - still 0.02-0.03w
with 4K video running on built-in screen - 0.11w, if i turn off external screen completely while still playing video - 0.09w
if i crank brightness on built-in screen - +7.00w

so yeah, in this universe nikob is wrong as usual, gpu doesn't really give a f*** about resolution outside of gaming, because it's zero load for anything modern enough. you can save much more just by lowering your brightness.

"Battery life is the Achilles' heel of the X1 Extreme Gen 2, at least if you opt for the matte 4K panel. In our normal Wi-Fi test, which we conduct by setting the display to 150 cd/m², our review unit cannot even manage 5 hours before it needs recharging. Worse still, this value dropped to just over 4 hours when we re-ran it at maximum brightness. If battery life is important to you, then you should opt for a 1080p display. We tested the ThinkPad P1 2019 with a 1080p panel, for example, and this achieved almost twice as long runtimes as our X1 Extreme Gen 2 review unit does."

didn't watch the videos, watched this reddit link. it literally actually proves the opposite of what you think. 4K has x3.54 more pixes than HD+, nikob would say "gpu does 3.54 times more work" but power consumption is only 45% higher. or it would seem so, because we are not done.

let's see these two laptops in actual controlled review, not someone's "opinion"
www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-9300-4K-UHD-Laptop-Review-16-10-is-the-New-16-9.464337.0.html#toc-5
www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-9300-Core-i7-Laptop-Review-New-Chassis-Design-is-More-Exciting-than-the-New-CPU.458692.0.html#toc-1
same cpu, same gpu, same battery size, 4K has touchscreen
real battery life difference 12%, for screen with x3.54 more pixels and touch suppot
another proof that "4 more pixels = 4 times more work = 4 times more power consumption" isn't a thing

and keep in mind, it's a bad iris plus gpu that is maybe times weaker than modern igpus, for which desktop compositing is a free task nowaday. there's a recent video from Alex Ziskind that shows MBP GPU not giving a single f*** about up to 7 displays (only 4 or which are native), with 8K video running on two of then. It was even crunching AI bit faster with 7 displays, than it was with 1.

intel macbook air 2017 i5 running windows 10 natively, idle
measured in hwinfo
800x600 avg GPU consumption 0.034w, avg gpu frequency 850.2MHz, avg gpu load 0.5%
1440x900 avg GPU consumption 0.034w, avg gpu frequency 870.9MHz, avg gpu load 0.5%

1440x900 has 2.7 times more pixels, 2017 igpu just adds 20Mhz and uses basically the same power for x2.7 more pixels
just another proof of the point that if your igpu is already on or at around its minimum frequencies (and it is always the case if your laptop was made by adequate people) in native res, going down in res almost does not affect energy consumption as your gpu just can't get any slower.

also yeah, how much were you going to same on milliWatts if you can just lower screen brightness and save Watts.

Depends on machine. On MBPs reducing brightness can gives up to double the battery but on the G14 2024 OLED it only gains +2 hrs (7 hrs on max brightness -> 9 hrs @ 150 nits) according to nbc's wifi web browsing tests.

Nobody said this, but I do not consider a difference of 45% in power consumption to be trivial.

True. 4k non-touch variants are not as common and probably does account for some additional power usage.

agreed.

That xps 13 9300 nbc link you gave is an interesting one. Quite a rare exception for 4k and fhd variants to be that close to one another.

Hahaha, stupid Neenyah doesn't see the incorrect black and white anti-aliasing in his screenshots.

The question is, how many idiots on the planet don't see this, but normal people do too?

I asked this moron to post a screenshot enlarged by 400% in paint, but he didn't do it. But you can easily use his link to copy the image and paste it into paint, enlarge it 4 times and you will immediately see shadows around the letters, which should not exist with the correct black-and-white anti-aliasing method.

About the same, the morons Neenyah and Imao fucked up the entire forum with lies that AMD does not have an autocalibrator in sRGB, although any owner of an AMD video card (or igpu) on screens with 45-46% NTSC and 80%+ NTSC (for example 90%+ DCI-P3/90 %+ AdobeRGB), can easily independently verify that I'm right and be convinced of the total disgrace of NVidia and Intel for more than 16 years, which do not have this autocalibrator and whose hardware owners cannot quickly (albeit roughly, depends on the EDID) provide color rendition in sRGB space. Moreover, in all software, except for the component output in players, you always need to select RGB24/32 output.

This eliminates the need for most AMD card owners to purchase a hardware calibrator (although this is the most accurate calibration, it does not apply to all Windows software, because some of the software knows nothing about color management and thinks that it draws a picture in the sRGB space). So, the sRGB autocalibrator built into all AMD drivers has been doing this work for them for more than 16 years, albeit roughly, but the result is many times better than looking at poisonous and oversaturated colors if the laptop screen or monitor does not have the correct factory sRGB converting profile on-the-fly color space of wide gamut panels in sRGB.

And all this with one regulator in the driver. To the shame of Intel/NVidia, they have not been able to do this for more than 16 years.

I just installed NVidia 2024 drivers and there is 100% no autocalibrator for EDID, which is in AMD 2024 drivers. =)

Shame on NVidia. Shame on Intel!

www.theverge.com/2024/3/25/24111273/microsoft-google-chrome-text-rendering-improvements

These M$ are doing everything wrong again. It is necessary not only to remove the moronic Skia rendering (which I had previously disabled by tuning FF up to version 69), but also to generally disable the incorrect greyscale anti-aliasing, restoring the only correct one - just like in XP WITHOUT using the lousy color anti-aliasing with CleatType!

Look what's happening - the morons (or rather villains) at Google have ruined the rendering in Chrome. In M$, even on the old engine, they also ruined everything. Even the Mozilla developers messed up text rendering in FF, starting with version 69, but they at least had the conscience to leave a key in the registry that allows you to disable cloudy anti-aliasing altogether, which I have been using for years in FF, reading texts only in it. And now, as an achievement, they disable the previously non disabled Skia rendering in favor of other methods! But they are still not going to restore the correct grayscale anti-aliasing from XP!

I can already see how, with fanfare and fiery speeches, the management of M$ will return to Chromium for W12 the old grayscale rendering, as in XP, the only true one for human vision, and will call this return SUPER progress! Great achievement...
