Xiaomi Unveils Two Windows 10 Powered Mi Notebook Air

Today, Xiaomi is launching a Windows 10 device today, Mi Notebook Air ( yup, does sound like Macbook Air), which is a full-HD display, edge-to-edge glass protection, & a full metal body notebook, in China. This is companies second Windows 10 device. While the device sound competing with Macbook Air, I think its going to compete with Microsoft’s Surface range. There are two versions of Notebook Air. The first is a 13.3 inch display, while the second is 12.5 inch display. Both the devices are powered by Windows 10 Home.

Xiaomi has a great presence in India, and IMO their devices will do just great in India as well similar to phone. Its a great alternative for those looking for Macbook Air or Surface Alternative. I would rather be interested on how it competes with Surface than anything else.
