Honor reveals the world’s first gaming laptop with six fans
Honor has officially detailed its WIN gaming laptop during a China, ahead of its April 23 release. The company says the system uses a new “Dongfeng Tail-Jet” thermal design built around two centrifugal main fans and four self-developed axial auxiliary fans. As far as we can tell, this is the world’s first laptop with 6 fans, at leat for gamers.
Honor seems to agree and presents the Win series as an industry-first design. As we have already mentioned in a previous post , the highest fan set was found in Acer’s Predator 21 X, which used five internal fans. That laptop, however, was more of a desktop than a normal gaming laptop.

According to Honor, mixed cooling systems improve overall airflow by 10% compared with typical three-fan layouts. Honor also says the design lowers keyboard surface temperature by around 2°C at the same power level, while adding a 20W benefit to total power handling. Those are company numbers for now, but they explain why Honor is focusing so heavily on cooling rather than just listing core specs.
Honor is also pairing the hardware with its Gaming Turbo X software stack and Phantom Engine tuning. Event figures shared today claim up to a 5.97% frame rate gain in Cyberpunk 2077 , plus up to 17.9% shorter AutoCAD 3D export times. The company also highlighted tri-network acceleration, which combines Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, and a phone hotspot, as well as a quiet high-performance mode rated below 38 dB under gaming load.
One variant reportedly uses Intel Core i7-14650HX with GeForce RTX 5060, 16GB DDR5 memory, and 512GB or 1TB SSD options, while a higher-end model pairs Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus with GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics.
The official price is unknown, but the laptop is now confirmed to launch on April 23 in China. Some reviewers already ahve their test units.
