When it is opened, a large display with relatively thin bezels around three sides meets your eyes. Honor has branded the bottom edge once more, but because the bezels are black and blend in with the surrounding color, it is easy to overlook. The display, a 15.6-inch IPS panel, eliminates glare and stray reflections thanks to an anti-glare coating on top. Remarkably good viewing angles and color accuracy are among its many impressive features, which are uncommon for laptops in this market. In actuality, the Honor MagicBook 15 was used to edit every picture in this review.
Additionally, the black levels and contrast are not too bad. While the minimum brightness is lower than most laptops, the maximum brightness is slightly above average. A night owl’s delight! Because the laptop’s overall body isn’t significantly larger than the display, it can fit in a backpack or small workspace without sacrificing viewing quality.

Honor MagicBook X15 Laptop Battery
Honor claims that the MagicBook 15 has a modest 6-hour battery life. Only on the lightest of days, when the only tasks required were reading and writing, did that figure appear in our testing. It was drastically shortened when photo editing or video calls were included. Within sixty minutes, gaming took its toll. Its battery performance is merely mediocre.
Moreover, 65W rapid charging via the USB Type-C connector is supported. First of all, the Type-C port was not functional when we attempted to charge it with other Type-C chargers, 65W or not. That’s great; it takes about ninety minutes to go from zero to full when you’re asleep. Top-ups are usually more effective because the laptop’s battery charges up to 50% during the first thirty minutes. On a low-cost laptop, fast charging is a welcome feature.
Verdict
The target market for Honor’s debut laptop in India is the general public, who merely need a dependable device. Given that the majority of other laptops in this market typically make greater compromises than the MagicBook 15, it is an obvious choice from that angle. We believe that the new Xiaomi Mi NoteBook 14, which is a little more costly but a more complete device, is the best substitute.
Honor India informs us that it has a network of 15 exclusive and 173 authorized service centers throughout India, in case you’re concerned about the after-sales support. To guarantee a hassle-free experience, the brand also offers free pick-up and drop-off service to customers who live in areas without service centers. The customer service number is 18002109999.
Conclusion
With its sophisticated appearance and strong performance, the Honor MagicBook X15 Laptop is a strong contender in the laptop market. Its vivid 15.6-inch anti-glare display and effective connectivity options are two of its best features. Average battery life notwithstanding, quick 65W charging adds value. This laptop is ideal for general users looking for affordable, dependable performance.
