The Mi Notebook Air is a MacBook competitor that won't leave you wanting

27 July, 2016
Xiaomi really put together a strong event today. Frankly, we would have been more than content with the now official Xiaomi Redmi Pro, but the Chinese OEM threw another surprise our way - the Mi Notebook Air.

They can call it notebook for all they want but with failing PC sales, they probably needed a new branding to get people interested.

              Here's what looks like a great deal for a performance laptop: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1242678-REG/hp_l9u78aa_aba_15_6_omen_pro_multi_touch.html

              Just that my friend advised me against buying HP as he says, "HPs heat-up a lot & folks here in the States avoid HP"

                But, I would love to have the opportunity to do more *on-site* which is why I want the portability.
                I'll most probably keep my big-screen Dell monitor to edit photos on when home ;-)

                  The HP is really good for the price but the RAM maxes out at 8GB & no SSD harddisk + I don't mind a laptop without an optical disk drive.

                  The Dell you have linked is even better just that, the RAM is 8GB - does it have a 16GB variant? I'll pick it up right away!

                  Cheers - V

I can get the same thing with even cheaper price! Do you want me to show up the link? So that you shut the hell up. How can Asus put in their Zenbook in Notebook section? The truth is its still a Notebook just in Ultra form. You just love to bash people for fun don't you? Instead of helping people. You're crazy man.
