The latest laptop from Honor is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, and it’s another step in Arm silicon ending Intel’s near-monopoly on Windows laptops.
Honor’s latest laptop, the MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon, has a hardware component that is both eye-catching and practical — a detachable webcam that is normally hidden inside the laptop’s body. You only take it out when you need to use it, and it snaps on to the top of the chassis magnetically and works immediately.
As soon as the camera is attached to the top’s magnetic pogo pin, it snaps into place and the screen shows a notification stating the camera is ready. If you have the laptop’s camera app opened, the camera will turn on automatically. You can even flip the camera around, which makes this one of the very few laptops in the world to have forward-facing camera. This is an ingenious design to help keep the top bezel slim while keeping the webcam in the correct position.

Other PC makers like Dell and Lenovo had already jumped on board the Snapdragon X Elite train, and now Honor is onboard too.
The Snapdragon X Elite is a 12-core chip with prime cores running at 4.0 GHz, with the rest being at 3.5 GHz. Benchmark numbers, as you can see here, are very respectable. The chip also utilizes Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU, which allows it to run generative LLM on device.As for performance, I have to admit I am not a serious PC gamer. I use my laptop more for productivity, and everything has been smooth sailing. The keyboard is excellent to type on, with 1.
I have been using the MagicBook Art 14 for work for the past week, and three hours of productivity work that includes typing words into a CMS, reading and responding to emails, watching YouTube videos occasionally and streaming Spotify in the background would drain about 20-25%. That’s very good — that means the laptop can go at least 12 hours on a single charge with my usage, and likely longer.The MagicBook Art 14 wouldn’t be a modern tech release if it didn’t come with “AI.
