Xiaomi Notebook Air

Xiaomi, has launched the much awaited Xiaomi Notebook Air in China earlier today. The notebook which is expected to give Apple a run for it's money is priced at 35000 for the low end version and 50,000 for the high end one. The price compared to Apple's notebook is really cheap and considering the specs on offer it is a real head turner.

The notebook is said to have two versions of size 12.5 inches and 13.3 inches with Full HD displays with a higher PPI (per pixel intensity) of 176 and 165 ppi respectively. This is comparatively 10 - 15% better than PPI offered by Apple Notebooks. The pre-loaded OS on this machine would be Windows 10.

The 13.3 Inch version of Xiaomi Notebook

The 13 inch high end version comes with an i5 processor(6200U) powered by 8GB DDR4 RAM at 2.7GHz. The graphics card is the much lauded NVIDIA GeForce 94MX. The storage device is a 256 GB high speed SSD drive. The notebook packs a 40Wh battery capable of backing up the device for close to 9.5 hours. A back lit keyboard, two speakers, two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI port adds to the usability of the device. The device waits close to 1.3 Kilograms.

The 12-inch version however comes with Intel Core M3 processor, 4GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD Drive. There is one HDMI and one USB 3.0 on the device. The battery backup is however better than the 13 inch version at 11.5 hours.

Most OnePlus users like me have already received notification for the marshmallow update. Click download to start downloading the update,

Once downloaded the phone will prompt user for installation. It is very important that your phone has ample amount of charge left before you start installation. We would recommend already 75% charge.

Click install and the device will automatically boot up with Marshmallow OS.

You can verify the same by going to settings > about phone >Android version and doubt tap the same to see the Marshmallow screen.
