Honor MagicBook 14 review: an affordable Windows laptop with extra style

The Honor MagicBook 14 looks great and runs pretty well too

Appealing aesthetics ; Comfortable typing experience ; Rapid battery charging

Mid-range performance ; Display could be better ; Odd webcam position

The Honor MagicBook 14 offers an appealing proposition as soon as you take it out of its box: it's sharp and stylish and compact, and is a pleasure to use as well. It's one of the best laptops around at this price, though it does have its weaknesses as...

Huawei MateBook 14 (2020) review: Huge savings on the 2021 model this Black Friday

Performance like this, in a sub-£1,000 laptop, would have been unthinkable before

Powerful eight-core processor ; Stylish looks and lightweight design ; Gorgeous display

Mediocre battery life ; Another oddly placed webcam

When you’re saving so much money compared to its rivals and buying a laptop that has enough power to last many years, however, the reasons to buy hugely outweigh such small irritations. The MateBook 14 cements itself as a magnificent value...

Honor MagicBook 14 (late 2020)

Honor's late 2020 update to the MagicBook Pro doubles the storage and throws in a Ryzen 4500U without compromising on price.

Huawei MateBook 14 2020 AMD

The 2020 MateBook 14 jumps ship from Intel to AMD - at least in the UK - with excellent results, so long as you don't need a GPU.

Huawei MateBook 14 review: Consider the MateBook X Pro instead

The MateBook 14 was the full package - but it never reached British shores

High CPU and storage performance ; Long battery life ; Relatively good value

Huawei ban may affect Windows updates ; No Thunderbolt 3 ; OneHop feature needs work

It’s hardly the done thing to get excited about the middle child of a new product range. There’s not quite the same level of premium flashiness as with something such as the Huawei MateBook X Pro – nor the benefit of being the most affordable option,...

Huawei MateBook 14 (2020) Review: Small Change, Big Gains - UNBOX PH

The Huawei MateBook 14 (2020) is a solid mid-range laptop that manages to punch way above its class thanks to AMD's new silicon.

Excellent design ; Large, high-resolution display ; Powerful AMD processor ; Plenty of RAM and storage

Webcam positioning isn’t great ; Only one USB Type-C port

Honor Magicbook 14 Notebook Review: Where Style Paints a Picasso

There are three major selling factors when it comes to laptops: Specifications, Price, and Style. It is exceedingly rare to have a laptop hit all three, and if often takes a flagship device to score high marks on all three. The first two,...

I look forward to seeing the quality and capabilities of what Honor can do in the future. If they can match or better this style, with the latest hardware under the hood for performance and battery life, then it will amplify the already impressive user...

Huawei MateBook 14 (i7-8565U, GeForce MX250) Laptop Review

The MateBook 14 captures the look and feel of the revered MateBook X Pro down to a tee. The 25 W GeForce MX250 is a notable performance upgrade over the 10 W MX150 as well.
