Xiaomi Mi NoteBook: From 12-hr battery to slim bezels, all that we know so far
Xiaomi will be unveiling their first laptop in India on 11 June. The company hasn’t been very discreet with the product and a lot of teasers are coming our way. Ranging from the design of the laptop to the battery life, there’s a lot that has been revealed before the official launch on 11 June.
Here’s what we know about the laptop so far:
Design: The design of the new laptop seems compact. One of the earliest teasers was about the screen that will be featured on the laptop. Going by the video that was shared by the Xiaomi India chief Manu Kumar Jain, the bezels will be much slimmer than other laptops in the price segment. The slimmer the bezels the smaller the footprint of the Mi Notebook.
Weight: Xiaomi has claimed that the weight will also be very light. In one of the teasers, the company claimed that the laptop “packs a lot of power in a sleek, ultra-light form factor".
Battery: While a laptop being light-weight could be very important for a lot of users, it does impact the battery capacity of the machine. However, Xiaomi claims the battery life on the new Mi Notebook will be 12 hours, which is quite impressive considering the weight.
Audio: There was not specific teaser regarding the audio of the laptop. However, few executives have shared images of the packaging and we can cleary see that the Mi Notebook will come with DTS audio. The packaging also reveals that the laptop in the box will a Horizon Edition laptop.
Xiaomi claims that this new laptop will exclusive to India and is built for the country. The Mi Notebook will be unveiled on 11 June at 2PM. Xiaomi is expected to reveal more details as we get closer to the official launch.
Xiaomi’s first laptop in India will have 12-hour battery life, company teases Mi Notebook Horizon Edition branding
Xiaomi’s first laptop in India will be called the Mi Notebook Horizon Edition, and unless this is a limited edition product basis of naming, this is it. If this is a limited edition product though, this also means, Xiaomi may be looking to launch more than one laptop variant in India. Xiaomi has been on a teaser spree lately, and one of the ways that it is hyping its first laptop in India, is by showing off what appears to be the retail packaging of the product in question.While it’s difficult to make out the exact specs from the packaging, such as screen size and processor configuration, one can easily make out the naming convention that Xiaomi is going with. The most that we can makeout from the packaging is that the Mi Notebook Horizon Edition will come with slim bezels, something that Xiaomi has already confirmed, and DTS audio. Xiaomi has also separately claimed that its first laptop in India will have up to 12-hours of battery life.
Xiaomi is gearing to launch the Mi Notebook in India on June 11. Xiaomi has said the Mi Notebook will be a brand new product that is India first, India exclusive and made for India, and not a rebranded Redmibook from China contrary to ongoing reports. Though, it won’t be made in India because Xiaomi lacks laptop manufacturing machinery in the country.
There’s been a growing demand for laptops lately what with more and more people being forced to stay cooped up inside their homes in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. Laptops serve multiple purposes. From work to entertainment. Xiaomi making a foray into India’s laptop market is surely good news for potential buyers in India, because we can expect a Xiaomi laptop to bring a lot of value for money to the table, though the company has hinted it won’t exactly be a cheap product like the Mi 10. The bigger challenge will be to convince these buyers to buy a Xiaomi laptop, in the current scenario, when a strong wave of anti-China sentiment is blowing across the country.
