As is customary, Xiaomi compared its Mi Notebook Air to Apple’s Macbook Air.
The Mi Notebook Air comes with a premium looking all metal design with sleek bezels measuring just 5.59mm. The full HD 13.3-inch display is laminated to reduce glare. It weighs 1.28Kgs and measures 14.8mm in thickness (And that’s less than Macbook Air). For connectivity, it packs all the necessary ports including a two USB 3.0 ports, a single Type-C slot, and HDMI port.
The Mi Notebook Air is powered by an Intel’s sixth generation i5 Dual-Core processor clocked at 2.7Ghz, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 256GB PCIe SSD card. It gets a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 940MX GFX graphics card (with 1GB GDDR5 RAM) to meet all the graphics need (which is rare for portable Notebooks). Xiaomi claims it can tank up 50 percent of 40Wh battery in just 30 minutes and the battery can then last for a total of 9.5 hours.
