Honor has added a new AMD-powered configuration to the MagicBook X16 2026 lineup, targeting budget-conscious buyers who need a large screen without a high price tag. This update matters because it offers a 16-inch display and a capable processor for under $502, making it a strong option for students and remote workers on a tight budget. The company is focusing on value by pairing a mainstream chip with a generous battery in a chassis that weighs just 1.69kg.

This configuration uses integrated Radeon 660M graphics and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM to handle everyday tasks.
