Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air Release Date, Price and Specs

Hugo Barra introduced you to Mi Notebook Air, Xiaomi’s first-ever laptop; an ultra-thin, ultra-light, all-metal beauty packed with Xiaomi-style innovations. It comes in two flavors: a 13.3” ultralight notebook with a dedicated high-performance graphics card, and a compact, magazine-sized 12.5” lightweight workhorse with an incredible battery life of 11.5 hours.

Xiaomi’s latest product, the Mi Notebook Air, isn’t quite as novel as a hoverboard or the company’s latest drone, but it does have one thing most other ultraportable laptops lack — a discrete graphics card (discrete graphics cards are typically faster than their embedded brethren). A Nvidia GeForce 940MX, to be exact.

Other specs include a 256GB solid state drive and 8GB of RAM, and if you need more space there’s an additional SATA slot available to boost storage by up to 256GB.

If you’re looking for either one of these laptops, the bad news is that Xiaomi will only officially sell the Mi Notebook Air in China. They go on sale on August 2 and will retail for 4,999 yuan (this converts to about $750, £570 and AU$1,000) and 3,499 yuan (or about $525, £400 and AU$725) respectively.
