Chigz Tech Reviews I think ryzen processors are really better for laptops
Awesome my friend, your video and testing helped me a lot to make my purchase decision. Can you please try Far Cry 5 and tell me the results here in the pinned comment?
Instablaster...
is there any way we can get a bigger battery replacement, that ssd 2.5 is a wasted space!
A great and helpful video! I would like to see a long time review.
Awesome device, Chigz 👍
Very informative, too.
Web Cam, WOW I like that.
Seems very cool😘
6:57 thank you for this test and for reminding me of this awesome game!!!!
Hello sir , I was eagerly waiting for this video. Please do a full review with size compare, performance and gaming.
Please provide purchase link, need to have this laptop, almost 1 year waiting 🙏
😍😍😍 very very nice work Chigz 👏
I might have to get one of these 👍👍
Have a wonderful weekend
Hello, first of all, beautiful exhaustive video, I wanted to ask if for a main use of office, autocad, streaming, youtube, a lot of multitasking and some light games like minecraft it is better AMD or intel. (If you could answer me you do me a great pleasure because I would like to buy one of the two versions before the discount ends)
Man AMD must be using some serious otherworldly magic getting a CPU with integrated graphics to run GTA V 1080p Very High at 30fps
Is there any backlight bleed?
Thank you! Really useful review
Your welcome.
Love this review. 🤗
Hey, Chigz! Some people write about too thin metal chassis that can be pushed and change its form. So build quality isn't good as it looks like. Is it true?
How's the Linux support? That's wayyy more important than video games to professionals -- especially software developers.
yeah, especially in comparison with tuxedo and system76 laptops on the same ryzen 4000 architecture
I have get one, and the BIOS is blocked to not allow to boot and install Linux or other operating system that is not the one with the laptop. Support has told me that there is no way to do it.
@@borjaronda2097 strange thing. I've heard, that peoples was successfully installed linux and there was only problem with fingerprint-sensor (suppose because of lack of drivers or something like this)
@@Kucherenko90 I have been discussing a whole day with huawei support and is what they have told me. In my case I am not able to boot a live linux. I have not been able to find any experience in the web where they have linux installed and running. Is true that now I have just received another email from other guy from support from huawei, and now they say is possible. :( It is a bit frustrating. I have asked to give it back.
@@borjaronda2097 Hmm. I setup Linux for a friend on an a previous model of the Matebook Pro X and the bios was indeed shite, but i could change boot devices (it wasnt clear you had to do via the F5/F6 keys and also disabled secure boot (there was a need for some custom dkms drivers anyway which were unsigned so there was no point in enabling it). You might be able to access these settings through the windows install via Startup repair > Advanced > UEFI settings. I would not take Huawei supports word on anything.
Hi Chigz, is there space for a 2.5" HDD near the battery? (right side)
Is this good for autocad 2021? I am an engineering student
Solid laptop..nice chigz..😁😁😁👍👍👍
Thanks for the review!
Which color is that? is it 'space gray'? or ... ? I keep seeing only one color available in my country (Russia), and it is some kind of 'light gray', not same as yours. Do you know if MagicBook Pro 2020 available in 2 colors, or just one? I'm confused 😂 Overall, it seems to be the laptop of my dream. Once again thanks for the review.
Between this & matebook 14 R5, which will be a good buy?
Is it worth upgrading from this device to the magicbook 16 which is currently on sale in the UK
Hi! Can it be opened with one hand like Macbook?
Did you order this laptop or was it sent to you for review? Because it should have a UK keyboard and not a German layout.
is at least one of the usb-c ports an all service one ? Power Delivery, Displayport Alt mode and data ? What is the frequency of the RAMs used ? Are they soldered to the board ? What about ssd speed and user exchangeability ? Wi-fi card ? How bright is the panel in nits and what is the color accuracy ? Are you sure a webcam thats looking at your chin is ideal ?
I'd like to know these things too.
Thanks so much.
Awesome vid Chigz, I think you are the first to drop a review!!! Excellent detailed test, and overall coverage of the laptop. I'm currently playing with the 15" new upgraded model and it's fantastic, the GS Pro Smartwatch is SO impressive. Look forward to lots more from you. Thanks, Lia x
Nicely done! Can it run Adobe illustrator efficiently?
Best review thanks 👍
I like to buy honor magicbook 15 or 16 pro at same time i m using huawei phone. Are they computable with Huawei phones by using Huawei share Nfc?
yes
Very nice review. Wish you talked about battery life though.
Great video, but... Can you edit 4k video in Adobe Premiere with this HONOR MagicBook Pro?
Yes the higher wattage h cpu is good fir VE
For me, the most important thing is the quietness of the cooling system, so that it turns off when working with text or even in the browser! Tell me how quiet (noiseless) this laptop is?
I own the Magic book 14 and i work a lot with it. Most of the time the fan is turned off and the system makes no sound at all. I think it's just the same with the Pro version.
Has it an glass trackpad? Or plastic?
Hey guys i am not much familiar about laptop
Is battey issue still there??
I mean laptop have so much issue about battery
Will it come to India??
Does it have wifi 6 or replaceable wifi card?
How is the linux compatibility?
Great review. Question i have: is the ram soldered to the mainboard?
Yes
Amazing Laptop! 👌🔥
#chigz
Is this good for coding and students?
Another win for AMD laptops. Good practical review 👍
Thanks! 👍
Why was you using 2 laptops? And not one. You had two keyboard layouts confusing
Bro what's the brightness in Nits
Looks good!
Can add the hdd storage?
does it have a full size SSD bay? it looked like on on the bottom left when you had it open
Sadly there is place for it, but no connector. There is even place for bigger battery. I think they wanted to have this premium look, performance and display, but have to sacrifice a few things to achieve the price point. So no thunderbolt for example. Either you are happy with it as it is, or you have to pay double for the same performance, but a little upgradable.
keyboard backlight?
This is £599 on sale on the Honor website. Is it worth it in 2021?
Hi Chigz, is the laptop available for purchase in the UK? If purchased from China, give us the link. A full review will be highly appreciated. You are the best
Thanks, links are now in description.
What a knife 😳 0:44
would be great if someone shared experience using linux on this laptop. Is linux fully compatible to laptop hardware or not?
The BIOS is blocked to not allow to install linux or even run Live USB
does USB C support 4k display out?
Im about to start to study media informatics and im thinking of buying this Notebook or does anyone got some other recommondations
You should consider that the graphic card is very weak. So if you want to do some "media things" which afford high graphic power you might be bottlenecked quite fast from the graphic capacity.
@@DoktaKnock It´s not true at all, it can be with the MX350 so... it's enough
I though the display was a 16:10 ratio. Still looks nice with those small bezels
lol, there are two different keyboards in this video, one is qwerty and the other seems to be qwertz? I'm confused
I ended up with 2 units. One was German and the other English. I tried to show both in the video. Absolutely loving this laptop so far.
What’s the upgrade ability like? Is ram, storage and the wifi card upgradeable
Ran is soldered
How about video rendering?
Great review! The laptop is perfect but it doesnt have wifi 6..... is the wifi card replaceable?
Yes
Honor Magicbook pro AMD vs Honor Magicbook 15 i5 which better right now?
Hello, i really want to get this one with my low budget... Do you think it's worth it?? I'll mainly use it to code and do some creative stuff from times to times
Worth the deal?
Yes absolutely worth it. I’m using this everyday it’s a great device.
@@ChigzTech this laptop is ok with adobe photoshop and some light video editing?
Going to drop some cash on this. They are £600 atm and with a 100% rgb screen that's pretty good. Was looking at the ASUS Vivobooks but they don't even have USB 3.0 on the type A ports. I need at least one of those.
Can it handle CAD software like Solidworks? Need a laptop for Product Design.
Yes it can.
Does the magicbook has a micro sd card slot? Great Video btw!
No card slot.
Amazing review. Do you know the India availability of this model and any idea on prizing?
Pricing not prizing.
I'm also wating bro...... For india launching date ...
Does it have google support?
Can anyone say its price in the US ?
I've just noticed the magicbook 14 has Rx Vega 8 and this has Rx Vega 6. Does this make this laptops gpu weaker than the previous model?
No, each vega cu in the new 4000 series laptops is about 60% faster than the vega cu in the 3000 series laptop - (there are fewer cu in the new model however).
The Vega 6 in the 4500U (not this laptop I know) ends up around 20% faster in total compared to the Vega 8 in the 3500U - Not sure if the Vega 6 in the h series is the same.
Actually the vegas 6 APU has a much better overall performance than the Vega 8 in the previous gen magic book 14. The CPU (APU) passmark will also tell you the Magicbook Pro is much faster. 7391 vs 15,059(Magicbook Pro)
@@ChigzTech Thank you. Keep up the good work brother, i always watch your channel. If u ever think of giving it away il be here 😂😂😂. Tk care
Webcam placement seems strange, doesn't it just point up your nose in use and you can't adjust the angle like a bezel mounted one - you didn't show us how it looks in use.
Hey Chigz
Love your content
A request
Could you please review Oppowatch and do some comparision gudie with Active 2 and others.
This will.help to deicide whether to buy Oppowatch or not
I plan to, once Oppo feel like sending me the watch. Broken promises is all I get from Oppo. But I have heard it’s not that good and active 2 is much better.
Display?
Hi Chigz, I am planning to buy this laptop for my coding work (Php and Android mainly) while the promo to get freebies is still available. Please drop us a full review and ask on my behalf how good this machine is with Android Emulator. Thanks in advance Chigz
Yes I plan to, but I can also tell you right now this laptop is amazing and handles everything. Ryzen chip is powerful. Grab the offer while you can, its the icing on the cake.
Thank you Chigz
Would you say it performs better than the Macbook Pro 15" 2016?
If we talk about just raw performance then the MacBook Pro 15" (2016) i7 model scores 7274 on CPU passmark but the Honor MagicBook Pro scores 15.059. So you can expect more than double the performance in the Honor MagicBook Pro. Now comparing windows 10 to MacOS is a different story. But overall performance you will find the Honor MagicBook Pro to be much better than the MacBook Pro 15" (2016) i7 model.
@@ChigzTech thanks! 😁
es silenciosa?
The controller/gamepad he's using is gamesir brand. Incase anyone is looking for it.
I am looking to buy laptop for video rendering and productivity and photo shop is this the one for me ..?
Yes this handles 4K video and graphic works with ease.
Can you please tell me when it will be launched in India...
Please
Please
Please
Good question, no idea about an India Launch. They should, it’s a good market for laptops.
@@ChigzTech thanks for your kind reply....
This laptop has a premium build but hawei dropped the ball with the gpu. They should have gone for a Rx 5600m instead of vega 6. So you can do some proper gaming on it. Even if they charged 1000$ for it that would have been much better.
When it will be available
7th September in Germany
8th September in Uk and 1more country
The flip camera is pretty dumb for someone who is used to F6 and F7 being close to each other.
GTA is limited to 30FPS because you set V-Sync to half so the game runs with half the FPS the panel can display
Ok I turned off v-sync and dropped resolution from 1080p to 720p then I achieved just over 50fps. Awesome thanks. Demo: bit.ly/2Zq3npJ
but can it run...crysis?
@@livekillerplays3529 yup
Can I do video editing on this laptop
Yes. It's pretty good at that
Im Stuck between 2 Notebooks:
Honor Magicbook Pro 16.1
-Ryzen 5 4600H Processor
-256 GB SSD
-8 GB RAM
-Mostly made of Aluminium
Cost: 700 €
Vs.
Magicbook 15 (2020)
-Ryzen 5 4500u Processor
-512 GB SSD
-8 GB RAM
-Mostly made of Aluminium
Cost: 600 €
Which one should i buy?
Is it 2019
Does it support dual boot with Linux?
The BIOS is blocked to not allow you to boot linux or other OS that is not the supplied one
Literally 1 % who reading this have a great day ☺️
Have great day too 👍
Shira-naee. Hontoo daa 😝
does it have touchscreen ??
No touch screen.
Can it handle 4k video editing?
Yes
@@ChigzTech errr, but you said "light video editing" 4k is hardly considered light
Yes tried editing with premiere pro and supports 4K.
Since the initial video I have been editing 4K videos and this laptop handles more than light work, its a surprisingly powerful work-horse.
How's the battery?
Around 10 hours watching videos and general browsing and office docs. Playing GTA V nonstop battery lasted around 2 hours. But plug in the fast charger 🔌 and 50% battery in only 30 mins.
Not bad Chigz, would prefer a better dedicated graphics card but generally not bad.
I'm actually surprised by the graphics performance, its much better than I thought. Handles gaming and video editing very well. Will see how it performs after long term usage. Full review coming soon.
@@ChigzTech cool i look forward to seeing.
@@ChigzTech the igpu on this is as powerful as a gtx 660
That black Honor logo on the back is like a swearword tattoo on the forehead.
What is the price ,?
£849.99 + free smartwatch. See official link in description for full details.
👍
👍
QWERTZ keyboard, why.....
My review unit was a German keyboard.
@@ChigzTech I checked the Dutch site and that says "Warning, product is a German keyboardlaptop" even though The Netherlands uses standard US layout
Availability in india ,and price in indian rupees
me: mom i want a macbook
mom: we have macbook at home
macbook at home:
woah second
Design of MacBook Pro *copy *paste
Thank you for the great review Sir Chigz.. Only wish it did not use Win 10 or any Windows. Just wrote Microsoft a nasty letter 2 days ago about there lousy Win. 10 and bothersome update bothersome weekly update BS.. U can see hear where I’m comng from you’re young and heavy into gaming like millions of young uns are these days. I never heard of this brand but it seemed to be working just fine and you use first edition without a hitch. Looking at a Lenovo or the VANKYO which is China made.. Need to back off Chna made stuff if possible.. anywho, Thnx Mr. Chigz, your review I enjoyed as I usually do.
Send that laptop to me' so i can try it...:) lol..
auto buy..
I don’t see Pro specs:
Only Full HD Display
Mediocre CPU
Shared Graphics
Check some vids which do show more details. This device is pretty powerfull
This is an ultrabook body, it's meant to have a lasting battery life, not a gaming laptop
seems u r not familiar with amd ryzen 4000H processors. They are much more powerful than intel 10000H
"My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone."
its possible to instal a 2.5 ssd drive?
There is a slot for a 2.5” drive but I don’t see any SATA connection cable and I could not guess how or where to attach a SATA cable to the board. If anyone knows this, hola.
