Computer > Phone (2)

Combined all the reason stated in previous post, I think that a great idea to spend my next gadget budget on a new laptop instead of upgrading my 2 years old Oneplus 3. Being one of my most loved mobile phones over the years, it still going strong despite the 2016 spec and technologies. The 8GB Ram which was a huge selling point back then became a norm nowadays. And the used to be smooth and crisp rear camera became almost a crap comparing to the latest phone dual/tri/quad camera system.

Other than the camera, everything actually still works as fine as day 1. So why not spend the money on something I needed more?

_{Latest look of my 2 years old precious, other than messaging and calling, the Chrome browser is probably one of the most used app.}

Hunting for a highly portable and middle-low end laptop

No tablet or any mobile OS device as it would just limit the productivity. Since most of my productivity will be some light documenting and browser-based work, monstrous spec to make the notebook fly is probably trivial. Also, as it would be only used when I'm away from the main desktop workstation, spending a fortune on a spare machine is not a wise investment.

I narrowed down the requirement of the notebook as follows:

• 8GB RAM(Chrome is consistently consuming over 4GB dammit)
• 128 SSD is just(HDD on a notebook is embarrassing)
• Type-C port(Who doesn't love this sexy port!)
• 14 inch or smaller(for the sake of weight)
• 1.5kg or bellow(Please don't my on-the-road trip a workout)

I can also cut off the fancy useless features like:

• RGB lighting(Oh come on.)
• CD-Rom(Come on again.)
• Dedicated GPU(I won't even playing the Windows card game at all.)
• Touchscreen(Biggest gimmick ever happened to notebook)

And the most important point is the pricing, I'm looking for something around $500 USD but most of the new notebook I can find in that price range are equipped with the crap spec. 4GB RAM or shit like that. I'm considering the used laptop like the 2013 Macbook which matches my requirement just nice but I decided to give it a try on the Chinese notebook market and I found this gem.

Ryzen powered Honor Magicbook

_{Looks sexy, isn't it?}

Modern design + 8GB RAM + 256GB SSD(woohoo), and a tempting 3999RMB price tag! I mean, this machine is just around $570 USD which I don't think can be found anywhere!

I shall keep an eye on the product reviews while waiting for next big sales day aka the 12.12 in China. What do you think about this notebook or you have a better alternative to recommend?

有鉴于平时的电子用品使用习惯，我个人是没有电脑就生存不下去的，所以手机平板这类移动系统产品对我来说真的越来越不重要（虽然在通勤时大多数时候还是盯着手机看，可那也是因为手上没有其他的便携性电子产品）。这也是为什么从 2016 年尾就跟着我的 Oneplus 3 还一直被沿用至今，除了没升级需求，此手机顽强的性能也是主因之一。

好吧，既然不打算换手机了，那不如把这个预算的钱来投资一部可以提高生产力的笔记本？Good idea！每次放假回到老家都只有巴掌大小的手机可用，把眼睛都快看坏了。

由于这个笔记本尽其量只是用不到台式电脑时的替代品，它一定要满足几个条件：

• 8GB 内存（单是 Chrome 一个已经吃了起码 4GB）
• SSD 更是不可缺少的要素，也是最值得投资的电脑零件，没有之一。
• 最好有 Type-c 接口，大爱这个接口。
• 1.5 公斤以下，便携性超级重要，我也不想在路上锻炼身体。

其他的就没什么关系了，什么触屏 RBG 酷炫灯等等，都是废话，屁用没有。发现了这个荣耀 MagicbookR5+8G+256G 居然满足了几乎所有的要求，还只是需要 3999 人民币？有点不买对不起爹娘的冲动啊！这款还貌似是爆款啊，四月份出品，如今入手的人不在少数，看评价什么的啊都很不错。

有没有人知道这款笔记本可以指点一二？
