Purchase laptops of the latest models produced by famous brands on Jiji – it is cheaper, faster and safer. By the way, the choice is much larger as well!
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air
Xiaomi seems to be brave enough to compete directly with Apple American Corporation. The company actually presented an exact replica of the MacBook Air laptop.
However, this clone is much cheaper than the original and costs only 750 dollars.
The similarity with Apple products is not only in the name, the laptop’s hardware is very similar to the one that fans of “Apple Products” are used to:
- full HD-screen with a diagonal of 13.3 inches;
- i5-6200U processor with a frequency of 2.7 GHz;
- 8 GB RAM;
- graphics chip GeForce 940MX;
- SSD-storage volume of 256 GB;
- and (quite predictably), Windows 10 operating system.
Xiaomi attracts the attention of potential buyers to the fact that Mi Notebook Air, having the same screen diagonal, is 13% thinner than the MacBook Air and 11% smaller in size. It weighs a little more than an Apple laptop – 1.28 kilograms, but the laptop’s battery is capable of working up to 9.5 hours without being charged. Thanks to the USB Type-C connector, it is possible to charge the battery to the level of 50% in just half an hour.
Another option is to buy Mi Notebook Air with a 12.5-inch screen diagonal. This laptop will work up to 11.5 hours without being charged. Its characteristics will be a little more basic:
- core M3 Processor;
- 4 GB RAM;
- integrated video;
- 128 GB SSD-drive.
Both laptops will be available in two colors: golden and silver. The advanced model will cost $ 750 while the basic one is only 525 dollars.
