Available in either gold or silver, the 13.3-inch Mi Notebook Air, like many other Xiaomi products, is competitively priced at around $750. If you wear a Mi Band 2 fitness tracker, it can be linked up to unlock the laptop, which is fun.

Interestingly, Xiaomi will release a series of stickers to cover the Mi Notebook Air’s lid, which has no branding on it at all, along with custom fit sleeves made from leather, imitation leather, or microfiber material.

The battery should return 9.5 hours of use, and will recharge to 50 percent capacity in just 30 minutes. There’s a full-size keyboard to tap away on, each key is individually backlit, and on the side of the chassis you’ll find a pair of USB 3.0 ports, a USB Type-C charging socket, and an HDMI connection. The laminated screen has a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and a tiny 5.5mm thick bezel, which still manages to conceal a single megapixel video chat cam. The Mi Notebook Air measures just over 14mm thick all round, a few millimeters thinner than the same size MacBook Air, and weighs 1.2kg in total.

Windows 10 Home is its operating system, and an Intel Core i5-6200U processor with a Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics chip provides the power, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of super fast SSD storage. There is a considerable difference between the two, so we’ll take a look at the more capable 13.3-inch version first. There are two models, one with a 13.3-inch display, and the other measuring 12.5-inches. However, to pass the Mi Notebook Air off as another bland imitator could be an injustice. It’s no surprise then that the laptop is called the Mi Notebook Air, comes in two compact sizes, and has a sleek body made from a lightweight metal. This is the first laptop computer from Xiaomi, the Chinese company that’s more often associated with smartphones, and for its Apple-like approach to design and branding.
