Honor Hunter V700 - Powerful Gaming Laptop
I am very pleased that the Honor brand does not stop at the achieved results. First smartphones, then smartwatches, headphones and office equipment. Now - Honor Hunter V700. A powerful gaming laptop with an affordable price tag was expected. I would like to hope that in terms of reliability and efficiency in work, the new product will also keep up with competitors. Indeed, according to technical characteristics, Honor Hunter V700 aimed to oust such representatives from the market as:
- Acer Nitro.
- MSI Leopard.
- Lenovo Legions.
- HP Omen.
- ASUS ROG Strix.

Honor Hunter V700 laptop - first impressions
Gaming devices with a diagonal of 16 inches can be safely called the best solution. Here the manufacturer guessed with the choice of the screen size. After all, 15 is not enough, and 17 is already a heavy suitcase, which also takes up a lot of space. Screen brightness 300 nits.
One could find fault with the screen resolution. Still, 2K monitors are considered relevant in the gaming device market. But at 16 inches, the user will not see the difference. But the video card will strain to produce a dynamic picture in quality. The screen refresh rate is 144 Hz. But the user will not have this indicator in all games at high quality.
Advantages and disadvantages of Honor Hunter V700 laptop
I really liked that the screen lid can be opened with one hand. With light laptops, this is a huge problem when it comes to supporting the base. The gadget has an excellent set of ports. Even the combined headphone and microphone output does not spoil the overall picture. An extensive array of USB ports and full-size HDMI 2.0 complete the picture.
The keyboard leaves a pleasant impression. The Honor Hunter V700 laptop is large enough to fit a full keyboard with number pad. All buttons have customizable backlighting. And, nicely for gaming, the movement keys (W, A, S, D, and arrow keys) have a distinct backlit outline.
The aluminum case is a cool solution for high-quality laptop cooling. It's nice that there are no ventilation slots on the bottom panel of the device. The Honor Hunter V700 laptop will not pull dust, food debris and hair from the bottom. Complementing the overall picture is an active cooling system called the Wind Valley (Valley of the Winds). There is a HUNTER button in the upper right corner of the keyboard block. She knows how to switch cooling modes: quiet, normal and gaming.
If about shortcomings, then there are only questions about the sound. Even the hardware stereo plays sadly. The claimed Nahimic Audio technology, which is supposed to create surround sound, does not work well. But lovers of productive toys are always at hand cool headphones... Therefore, you can close your eyes to this drawback. It's just that Honor took money from the buyer for this technology, but did not really implement it.
