HONOR MagicBook 15 2021 with 11th Gen Intel Core Chip Coming Soon To Malaysia

First launched in China alongside the HONOR V40, the brand is now gearing up to release the HONOR MagicBook 15 2021 in Malaysia later this month. The laptop is essentially an upgrade to the 2020 model through the inclusion of the 11th Gen Intel Core processor and the support for Wi-Fi 6.

In Malaysia, the MagicBook 15 2021 is released with only one set of specs which covers the Intel Core i5-1135G7, 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM, and 512GB PCIe NVMe solid state drive. As for its GPU, the Malaysian variant relies on the integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics.

In terms of physical build and design, the MagicBook 15 2021 carries an aluminium chassis with a thickness of 16.9mm. The 1.56kg laptop also offers thin bezels on the three sides of its Full HD IPS screen that allows it to have an 87% screen-to-body ratio.

As per previous MagicBook releases, the new laptop also features an integrated fingerprint scanner inside its power button. Certain NFC-equipped HONOR phones can also take advantage of the MagicBook 15 2021’s Multi-Screen Collaboration feature that enables users to transfer files between both devices as well as control up to three apps directly from the MagicBook.

Price-wise, the HONOR MagicBook 15 2021 can be obtained for RM 3,699 starting from 13 May 2021 onwards. That being said, the laptop is already available for pre-order through Lazada and early adopters of the new laptop will be provided with an HONOR Laptop Backpack and Gift Box as well as a wireless mouse alongside the chance to obtain either HONOR Body Fat Scale, 3-in-1 Travelling Set, or Travel Adapter.

Dell XPS Desktop with 11th Gen Intel Core CPU Refresh Coming Soon To Malaysia

Aside from Alienware Aurora R12, Dell has also confirmed that there will be another desktop model that is already on its way to Malaysia with the newly announced 11th Gen Intel Core processors, codenamed Rocket Lake-S. Once again, it will not be an all-new model though but instead, the model is actually a refreshed variant of XPS Desktop.

While we will only know the full specs list once the model is listed on Dell Malaysia’s website towards the end of this month, the refreshed XPS Desktop can be fitted with up to Intel Core i9-11900KF. The general global specs sheet also listed graphics option of up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 although if you prefer to have an AMD graphics card instead, the option is somehow limited to Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Other than that, the XPS Desktop can also support up to 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid state drive and 2TB 7200rpm SATA hard drive. Together with the ability to support Wi-Fi 6, the model could also be fitted with a power supply unit of up to 500W depending on markets and hardware configurations.

In Malaysia, the base model comes with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 chip alongside 8GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card for RM 3,699. We will keep you posted once the refreshed XPS Desktop appears on Dell Malaysia’s website, so stay tuned.

Huawei MateStation S Desktop PC Coming Soon To Malaysia; Powered By AMD Ryzen

Huawei is generally known for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Now you can add desktop PC to the list too as the company is about to release the new MateStation S in Malaysia very soon.

You might have recalled the MateStation B515 that Huawei had launched back in November which was aimed at the enterprise market. Since both models have the same compact form factor, it is so easy to miss the differences between the front panel design that Huawei has equipped into both MateStation PCs:

In terms of specifications, the MateStation S is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G processor which is also inclusive of integrated Vega-based Radeon graphics with seven GPU cores. The Malaysian variant also carries 8GB DDR4-3200 dual-channel RAM and 256GB solid state drive.

The MateStation S also comes with the Huawei Ultra-Slim Wired Keyboard which features a built-in fingerprint reader that also acts as a power button for the desktop PC. Not only that, Huawei phone owners can invoke the Huawei Share feature by tapping their phone on the right Shift key of the keyboard.

Huawei also claimed that the keyboard features a scissor-switch mechanism and has a travel distance of 2.5mm. In Malaysia, the desktop PC will also come bundled together with a Huawei Display 23.8 that has a Full HD IPS panel and a 90 per cent screen-to-body ratio.

However, the company has not yet revealed the Malaysian release date and pricing for the MateStation S. We will keep you posted once we hear more or you can also keep a look for updates on Huawei Malaysia’s official store.

Among the vast fitness watch lineup that Fitbit has under its wings is the Fitbit Ace series which is designed for kids. The Google subsidiary has recently unveiled the latest model for the family in the form of the Fitbit Ace 3.

Other than that, the Ace 3 also features new clock faces such as cosmos, unicorns, and spaceships with more to come which will allow the little ones to customise their fitness watch further. Fitbit has also implemented DND and sleep mode into the new watch, so that the Ace 3 would not disturb them at school and during bedtime.

Not to forget, the launch of Ace 3 also marked the arrival of the well-known animated character Minions on the Fitbit device. At the moment, the company has crafted two Minions accessory bands for Ace 3 and has planned to come out with on-device Minion features in the near future as well.

In terms of availability, the new Fitbit Ace 3 will be making its debut in Malaysia on 29 March. Priced at RM 328, the new fitness watch for kids can be obtained through retailers such as All IT Hypermarket, Flash Gadgets, Harvey Norman, Timekeeper, and Thunder Match as well as authorised dealers at Lazada and Shopee.
