"Move" your mobile phone into your computer! Honor Notebook “Multi-Screen Collaboration” System Function Evaluation

How much do you know about the "multi-screen collaboration" system function on some Huawei and Honor products? Take a laptop as an example: after establishing a connection with the mobile phone through multi-screen collaboration, the computer's system screen will display the mobile phone screen in a windowed form. At this time, you can control the mobile phone on the computer, and you can also realize the computer, There are many operations such as transferring files between mobile phones. To put it simply, it is to "move" the mobile phone into the computer, and the two devices become one.

However, this function also has limitations, that is, it only supports some Huawei and Honor mobile phones, and other brands of mobile phones cannot be used. So, in this article, I will give you an in-depth review of the "multi-screen collaboration" function in the Honor 16.1-inch notebook: MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition system, and tell you whether multi-screen collaboration is practical and what specific benefits it can bring. experience.

The mobile phone used in this article to demonstrate the connection with the Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition is the Honor 30 Pro. At the same time, the MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition is divided into R5 and R7 models. The one I bought is the R5 model. In addition, I won’t go into details here about how to perform multi-screen collaborative connection between Honor 30 Pro and Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition. The connection process is very simple and can be completed in less than a few minutes if you have fast hands.

However, one thing worth mentioning is that the Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition can complete multi-screen collaborative connections with mobile phones even when not connected to the Internet, but you need to ensure that the WLAN network of the MagicBook Pro is turned on.

Looking at it this way, the overall practicality of multi-screen collaboration is greatly improved. For example: when you are on a business trip by train, the company sends files to your mobile phone through the social APP, and you need to be in half a time. Editing is sent back within an hour. If you use WPS to simply edit text on your mobile phone, it may be okay. If it involves more tedious operations, half an hour is definitely not enough. However, after connecting to the mobile phone through MagicBook Pro's multi-screen collaboration, you can directly open the mobile phone files on the computer for editing. However, if MagicBook Pro needs to be connected to the Internet for multi-screen collaboration, then you can only open the mobile hotspot to share with the computer, or choose It is obviously very inconvenient to find a place with Internet access to edit after getting off the train.

After multi-screen collaborative connection, Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition and Honor 30 Pro can transfer files to each other by dragging and dropping, that is, you can drag and drop files from the computer to the phone, or vice versa. direction operation. One thing needs to be mentioned. If you transfer files from the computer to the mobile phone, dragging them directly to the main interface of the mobile phone system is not possible, but dragging the files to the file manager on the mobile phone or dragging the pictures to the photo album is possible.

For office workers, with multi-screen collaboration, transferring pictures to documents only requires dragging them directly from the phone. There is no need to use a data cable to first transfer to the computer and then insert them into the document. , greatly improving office efficiency.

I actually tested using MagicBook Pro to open a Word document in Honor 30 Pro. The process was very smooth and there was almost no delay. In addition, you can even delete files on your phone directly in MagicBook Pro, so it’s not an exaggeration to describe it as “moving” your phone into a computer, right?

In addition, under multi-screen collaborative connection, you can also switch the phone's audio to the computer, that is, play the phone's sound through the computer's speakers, so you can use MagicBook Pro to make and receive calls. However, it should be noted that once the audio is switched to the computer, the phone will no longer produce sound.

Through multi-screen collaboration, you can also reply to social APP messages on your mobile phone on MagicBook Pro. Of course, in addition to replying to social APP messages, SMS messages can also be replied directly on MagicBook Pro.

In addition to being used for office work, I think multi-screen collaboration can also be used for entertainment, such as playing mobile games on a computer. However, the game can only be operated through the mouse, so it can only You have played some RPG games, but action games are completely useless, or the action games you play have "hang-up" operations. For example, when I wrote the article, I used the multi-screen collaborative mobile game "The Day After Tomorrow" to perform "hang-up fishing".

Another very practical little operation under multi-screen collaboration is to observe time-lapse photography. I believe everyone should know that the time-lapse camera function on mobile phones requires shooting at the same position stably for a long time, and Photographers sometimes cannot stare at the phone screen all the time, but through multi-screen collaboration, they can remotely observe whether the phone's time-lapse photography is running normally on the MagicBook Pro. However, currently, under multi-screen collaboration, the phone can only shoot vertically, not horizontally. Screen, I don’t know if it is an individual problem of Honor 30 Pro.

Generally speaking, the experience brought by multi-screen collaboration is far more than simply transferring files between mobile phones and computers. It is basically equivalent to integrating a mobile phone into a computer system. In the future, when we work You don't need to take out your phone frequently, you can check text messages and other contents directly on your computer.

In addition, as for the delay problem, I did not feel any obvious delay when using the multi-screen collaboration of the Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition. Even when transferring files, I also tested the transfer from the Honor 30 Pro. It only took 55 seconds to transfer the 1.82GB video file to MagicBook Pro, which is quite fast.

Well, that’s it for the review of the multi-screen collaboration function of the Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition. If you are planning to buy a laptop and are using a Huawei or Honor mobile phone, I suggest you give it priority. Get an Honor MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition or a Huawei laptop.
