Xiaomi has finally launched the Mi Notebook Pro and the Mi Notebook Ultra in India at the Smarter Living 2022 event. These laptops sound similar to the RedmiBook Pro 14 and RedmiBook Pro 15 released in China earlier this year. Let’s take a look at what these new computers have to offer and how much they cost.
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro / Ultra Specifications and Features
The latest Xiaomi laptops for India feature an aluminum alloy body and come in a grey color finish. The Pro model weighs 1.46kg and measures 17.3mm in thickness. The numbers for the Ultra model are 1.79kg and 17.9mm respectively.
Both the notebooks arrive in three variants. The base version is powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11300H processor paired with 8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM and 512GB NVMe SSD. The mid version has the same configuration but comes with 16GB RAM. Whereas, the top variant gets a more powerful 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11370H processor with the same amount of RAM and storage as the mid variant.
The primary differences between the two laptops are display and battery. The Pro model sports a 14-inch 2.5K LCD panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixel, 215 PPI, 16:10 aspect ratio, 100% sRGB color gamut, 300 nits brightness, DC dimming, and TÜV Rheinland low blue light emission certification. On the other hand, the display on the Ultra model is larger at 15.6-inch and has a higher resolution of 3.2K (3200 x 2000 pixels) with 242 PPI and 90Hz refresh while retaining all other features of the screen on the lower model.
Talking about ports, the laptops arrive with 1 x USB Type-C, 1 x Thunderbolt 4, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A, 1 x HDMI, and 1 x 3.5mm combo audio jack. On the connectivity front, the two computers support WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
Further, they feature a 3-level backlit keyboard with a scissor mechanism, 1.3mm key travel, and a dedicated macro key. For audio, they use 2 x 2W stereo speakers with support for DTS Audio. Other features include a 720p HD webcam and a fingerprint sensor with support for Windows Hello.
As for software, they run Microsoft Windows 10 and ship with Microsoft Office 2019 and Mi SmartShare pre-installed. They are upgradable to Windows 11 when the update will be ready.
Last but not least, though the two computers support 65W fast charging, the Pro model is backed by a 56Whr battery as opposed to a 70Whr battery inside the Ultra model.
