Xiaomi has confirmed to launch a new laptop in India on August 30. This product called Xiaomi NoteBook Pro 120G will be accompanied by Xiaomi Smart TV X Series. Ahead of the official announcement, the company has now revealed a few details about the upcoming computer.

Xiaomi has been teasing the features of the Xiaomi NoteBook Pro 120G for the past few days. According to a teaser, the laptop will sport a 2.5K display with support for up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

We anticipated the product to feature a 120Hz screen going by the word ‘120G’ in its name and it turns out to be true. Similarly, we predicted the computer to be powered by 12th Gen Intel processors. This too has been now confirmed in a teaser. The laptop will be also offered with an optional unnamed dedicated NVIDIA GPU.

Going by the renders, the notebook will look near identical to last year’s Mi NoteBook Pro and Mi NoteBook Ultra. It will likely sport a metal unibody design and its form factor should be thin and light. Last but not least, it will come with a thunderbolt port (over USB Type-C), a full-size HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

We are still a few days away from the launch. Therefore, we are looking forward to learning even more about the product.

Xiaomi is gearing up to debut a new laptop in India dubbed Xiaomi NoteBook Pro 120G. The company has disclosed the announcement date. It has also shared a single render of the product teasing its design.

The Xiaomi NoteBook Pro 120G is scheduled to launch in India on August 30. The firm hasn’t revealed the reason behind the name of the product, however, it is using a render of the laptop to tease its design.

Going by this image, the computer may look identical to the Mi NoteBook Pro and the Mi NoteBook Ultra released last year. In other words, it will feature a metal unibody design mimicking the older Apple MacBooks.

Further, the ‘120G’ in the name may refer to the 120Hz refresh rate. It could also mean the presence of a 12th Gen Intel processor. Xiaomi is yet to officially reveal these details. The brand may do it via daily teasers as we are 11 days away from the launch.

The 2021 Xiaomi Mi Notebook Ultra and Mi Notebook Pro were rebranded RedmiBook Pro 15 and RedmiBook Pro 14, respectively. Hence, there’s a chance that the upcoming Xiaomi NoteBook Pro 120G could be a rebadged or a tweaked version of one of the RedmiBook Pro 2022 models.

We are looking forward to learning more about this laptop in the coming days through official teasers and leaks.

As expected, Xiaomi has launched the Mi Notebook Pro 14 2021 and the Mi Notebook Pro 15 2021 on the second day of the Xiaomi Mega Launch event. These two are the most premium laptops (in terms of features) from the company to date. For some reason, the global arm of Xiaomi is calling them Mi Laptop Pro 14 and Mi Laptop 15 Pro respectively. Anyway, let us take a look at their specs, features, price, and availability.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook/Laptop Pro 14/15 2021 Specifications and Features

Xiaomi India has begun to tease the launch of Mi-branded laptops in India. A new teaser shared by the brand today gives us a glimpse of the model it is going to launch first. Also, the company’s chief business officer shared some details about the laptops they are going to release in India.

Xiaomi has changed the smartphone market of India since its entry. It has been leading the market for 11 quarters (close to 3 years). The company is even leading the smart TV and the wearable segments. Now, it is all set to shake up the laptop industry of the country as well.

People have been requesting Xiaomi to bring their laptops to India for years. The company’s top-level executives confirmed their arrival by posting teaser videos with ‘Its time’ and #WhatsNextFromMi.

The very next day, Raghu Reddy, the chief business officer of Xiaomi India revealed some information about the company’s laptop strategy to the Economic Times. 

According to him, Xiaomi will not follow its smartphone model of affordability by launching entry-level laptops. Also, it won’t flood the markets with too many models. Instead, the company will target power users such as content creators, gamers, and students.

#WhatsNextFromMi? This video holds the answer.

Mi fans, take the screenshot and share in comments when you see it.

He also revealed that they were planning to launch laptops ahead of Diwali festive season. But the current ‘work from home’ situation has increased the short-term demand compared to the past.

Mr Reddy also hinted Xiaomi will be launching ‘thin and light’ and ‘gaming’ laptops in the country since these two segments witnessed a growth rate of 70-80% and 5% last year. Anyway, it is worth noting that India’s laptop market fell by 26.5% in Q1 2020 compared to Q4 2019.

Further, he also mentioned the difficulty of demonstrating products from a new brand offline. But he believes Xiaomi can leverage its brand presence in retail with strong marketing.

Last but not least, the company also has plans to start manufacturing laptops locally in India after reaching a certain level of monthly sales.

Xiaomi sells a number of products and one of them is laptops. Unfortunately, they are limited to China and the company has never made them available outside its home country. Thankfully, it is going to change soon as executives of Xiaomi India has begun to tease the launch of Mi laptops in the country.

𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 !!

Mi fans, you have waited and waited and waited. And now, IT's TIME!

Whenever Xiaomi is set to launch a new product in India, it is first teased by Manu Kumar Jain, the managing director of Xiaomi India, followed by other top-level executives. The same has happened for the launch of Mi branded laptops in the country.

One might be wondering why we are confident that it will be a Mi Notebook. That’s because the hashtag they are using clearly says #WhatsNextFromMi and not #WhatsNextFromRedmi.

Also, the executives are speaking two words in their teaser videos – “It’s time” closing the lid of their laptops. Although this means Xiaomi is finally bringing laptops to India after years of requests, some people on Twitter think the company could be launching Mi Watch instead.

Having said that, the laptop model Xiaomi has planned to launch in India is still a mystery. It worth noting that the launch of Redmibooks was tipped in late April and even one of the models was spotted on BIS certification portal.

On the other hand, Xiaomi India is teasing a Mi-branded product and not Redmi. This means only one thing and that is the company could be rebranding a RedmiBook with a Mi moniker.

Xiaomi has confirmed via the Xiaomi Notebook official Weibo page that a new Mi Notebook laptop would be joining its lineup on December 23. According to the Weibo post, the new Notebook is teased as coming with a high performance, is thin and light as well.

Earlier on, we had seen a leaked posted of the upcoming December 23 launch event and it is interesting to note that the poster released via the Xiaomi Notebook’s official Weibo post is consistent with the one leaked earlier. Aside a new, thin and light build being teased, Xiaomi has stylishly teased that the Mi Notebook will feature 4G LTE connectivity as that could be spotted at the bottom right side of the laptop’s screen.

Another interesting thing to note on the official poster is the China mobile logo that is included. The poster could be an indication that Xiaomi is partnering with China mobile and perhaps, the laptop will come with support for China Mobile SIM card without the need for an external modem. We are not so sure about that but suffice it to say that there is a partnership and it could see China Mobile getting the laptop for sale on their network for China Mobile customers to buy and pay in installment.

Xiaomi recently announced two new laptops in the Mi Notebook Air lineup. Both are super thin laptops, weighs just over 1 kg and comes with Windows 10 OS on board. This is the company’s first laptop series in the market and while Xiaomi has made sure that the two models looks elegant and compact, it decided that the front of the laptop should be logo-less. The only major area where we see Xiaomi’s branding on this laptop is just below the screen, where there is the “Mi” logo.

This is a bold move by the company, since most laptop companies like to leave their branding on their laptops, especially on top, to distinguish it from competitors. 

Well, you can customize the looks of the laptop however you want, and the logo less design on the front actually makes things easier to redesign. But I was wondering what you feel about this logo less design?

The post POLL: What do you think of Xiaomi’s NO LOGO design on the Mi Notebook Air? appeared first on Gizmochina.

A couple of days back, Xiaomi announced not one but two new laptops in its Mi Notebook Air family. They come in two sizes, namely 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch. Naturally, being the first Xiaomi laptop in the market, everybody is interested to see the new device in real life. While we have not yet received a model for review, here are a few images of the Mi Notebook Air 13.3-inch in action.

To recap, the Mi Notebook Air 13.3-inch comes in an all metal design with silver and gold color options, no logo on top and a lightweight 1.28 kg body. Specs wise, the laptop comes with a 13.3 inches 1080p display with anti-glare coating, Intel Core i5 6200U processor, NVIDIA GeForce 940MX 1GB DDR5, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 265GB SSD ( which is further expandable), dual speakers from AKG,  and Windows 10 home edition. Further, the screen covers 80.1% of the front, which makes it look amazing.

As for the pricing, this particular version costs 4999 Yuan in China, which comes to around $750.

So, here are some real life images of the Mi Notebook Air 13.3-inch. Enjoy!

Note that the pictures are taken from two major Chinese media websites — pcpop.com and it168.

Reports have emerged that the much touted Xiaomi Notebook or Mi Notebook if you like, will not be available in large  amounts when finally launched. We had earlier quoted supply chain sources who disclosed that Xiaomi targets shipments of about 1 million units of the Mi Notebook when launched.

In a new twist, it has been reported by industry sources that Xiaomi is likely to ship just 300,000 units of the Mi Notebook this year, far lower than the 1 million units targeted.

The Taipei Times quoted supply chain sources hinting at a cut in supply occasioned by the persistent postponement of the release date of the notebook PCs by several quarters.

The sources further disclosed that production of the laptops is split between Xiaomi’s long-term assembly partner Inventec Corp and Winstron Corp, with Inventec expected to deliver 150,000 units of the 12-inch sized Notebooks, while Winstron will deliver another 150,000 units but this time of the bigger size 13-inch Xiaomi Notebook.

When contacted by the Taipei Times, an official of Inventec is said to have confirmed that the company would start shipping the 12-inch units of the Mi Notebook laptop beginning from the end of July but the said official refused to confirm the total shipments expected to come from his company. Another official, however, disclosed via telephone, quite disappointingly, that “the initial shipments for the products are not massive”.

While Winstron declined to comment on the matter, industry analysts affirmed the possibility of the Xiaomi’s Notebook shipment terminating at only 300,000 units for this year as a result time constraint.

Xiaomi is expected to launch its first Notebook PC alongside the Xiaomi Redmi Pro flagship smartphone in a news conference already scheduled for next week’s Wednesday. Going by this latest report, fans outside China who have been waiting to get their units of the Mi Notebook may have to wait a little longer even after it is unveiled, as just 300,000 units will be available and that amount would likely get consumed in the Chinese market. It is expected, though, that shipments would increase next year as Xiaomi aims to expand its market outside China and this cheap Macbook Pro look-alike would be one of the company’s drivers for the proposed international expansion.

The post Xiaomi May Ship only 300,000 units of the Mi Notebook this year appeared first on Gizmochina.

We have been hearing about the Xiaomi Notebook since last year. In fact, recently, the number of leaks and rumors about the company’s first laptop have increased drastically, with most of the sources stating that the device will be announced at the company’s new conference on July 27. While we still haven’t received an official confirmation from the company regarding the launch of the new device at the event, considering the amount of information that we have received lately, we thought it would be a good idea to bring them all together to paint a complete picture of the upcoming Xiaomi Notebook.

So, let’s see what can we expect from the upcoming Xiaomi Notebook PC.

DESIGN:

Design wise, the Xiaomi Notebook should come with a sleek aluminum light weight body. Most sources have said that the upcoming PC should look similar to the Apple MacBook range, which would make it a good looking laptop. In fact, we did see a leaked real life image of the device (down below ), featuring the Mi logo up front.

If this is indeed the final design, then I am sure that most fans would be happy. But Apple may not like the fact that the laptop looks very similar to its MacBook.

We can expect the laptop to come in three display sizes — 12.5-inch, 13.3-inch, and 15.6-inch.

Since there could be three different variants of the Xiaomi Notebook, let’s take a look at each one of them in detail.

12.5-inch Model:

This will reportedly be the smallest variant in the company’s new laptop series. This could also be the cheapest and the lowest specced model. According to recent rumors, the 12.5-inch variant will feature a modest Intel Atom series processor. We are not quite sure that this would be the case as earlier we had heard that Xiaomi was working on cheap but powerful models. So, something like an i5 processor would be more suited for the 12.5-inch variant.

But if Xiaomi is indeed using an Atom processor inside this variant, then it could be very cheap. Also, the battery life could be amazing. Considering its small size and efficient processor, we can expect this model to be ideal for travelers.

13.3-inch Model:

If you wanted something more powerful, then the 13.3-inch Xiaomi Notebook could be your ideal option. According to the latest rumors, the 13.3-inch variant is expected to feature the powerful i7-6500U chipset with 8GB RAM on board. Further, the laptop is said to run on the Windows 10 Pro version. USB Type-C port could be used for charging the device. However, the screen on the device won’t feature touch, at least that’s what the leak said.

The 13.3-inch variant seems to be the ideal model for power users and it is said that it could retail for somewhere around 3000 Yuan ($450). If true, this would be an amazing price tag for a laptop with these specs on board.

15.6-inch Model:

Unfortunately, at this time, there’s hardly any information about this large screen variant. This could be because, only the first two variants, i.e. the 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch models are expected to be released soon. Out of these two, the 12.5-inch model is said to be in mass production already, with latter soon starting production. This would mean that the 15.6-inch model won’t be released anytime soon. So, if you were waiting for a large screen laptop from Xiaomi, then your wait would probably extend till the end of the year or maybe more.

While this basically covers most of the information about the upcoming Xiaomi Notebook variants, there are a couple of things that I would like to add in this article.

Software:

Xiaomi’s smartphones run on the company’s own MIUI OS, based on Google’s Android platform. There have been rumors that the company would continue using MIUI tweaked for PCs on its new Notebook PC, however, that likely won’t be the case. Xiaomi has had a good relationship with Microsoft, with a few of the company’s smartphones like the Mi4 running Windows platform. So, it is highly likely that the company extends this partnership for its laptops. This would be a safer move as well, considering the majority of PCs in the market today run on the Windows 10 platform.

Availability:

Xiaomi always had the issue of low stock, with most of it’s in demand smartphones going out of stock in seconds during its flash sale. Things have improved drastically in the past few months though, all thanks to Lei Jun, who has now taken charge of the company’s supply.

But whether Xiaomi will stock up the upcoming Xiaomi Notebook in plenty is a question. This would be the first laptop from the company, and we may not see a lot of stock of the laptop in the early stages. So, the initial availability of the laptop could be limited.

However, there was a recent report which said that the company expects to easily sell 1 million units of its laptop after launch. So, we can’t really comment much about the availability of the device.

Well, that should sum up what we know/ expect from the upcoming Xiaomi Notebook PC.

Xiaomi is known to shake up the market where it enters, and don’t expect anything less from its first ever laptop!

One of the devices to be launched on July 27 by Xiaomi will be the Mi Notebook; the second being the 4th Generation Redmi Note. The first time news of a notebook from the Chinese giant surfaced was 7 months ago. While some of the specs in that post have changed, others have remained true.

The Mi Notebook will be available in 2 sizes, viz.: 11 inches and 12.5 inches (13 inches) with the latter confirmed to be a Full HD display although without touchscreen support.

It will also feature an Intel Skylake U-Series Core i7 processor (Core i7-6500U) clocked at 2.50 GHz (3.0GHz Max). The processor has an integrated GPU called HD Graphics 520 which offers performance in range of a dedicated GeForce 820M. Tests say the GPU will be able to handle 2015 games smoothly although in low settings.

The Mi notebook will feature 8GB of RAM and ship with Windows 10. The charger is similar to that of Huawei’s Matebook which uses a USB Type-C with maximum charge power at 65W (20V/3.25A).

Xiaomi has applied for two patents with respect to the notebook. One is for an intelligent charging adapter and the other is for a thermal processing method and apparatus.

There is still no information about the prices but we trust it will sure be cheaper than similar products in the market right now.

Xiaomi has confirmed a new conference on July 27, which is just a couple of weeks away. However, as of now, the company hasn’t revealed what to expect from the new event, nor it has given any hints of the number of products going to be announced that day. Recent rumors have said that there would be more than one announcement, and looks like, the rumors are true, as Xiaomi’s, Director of new Media, Lu, has just revealed via his Weibo account that there will be two announcements at the event.

So what can be those two products? His post reveals that the first product has three letters and the second product has five letters. Judging from the number of letters, the first product could be Redmi 4 (红米4 in Chinese) or maybe Note 4. The second product should be none other than Xiaomi’s first Notebook since 小米笔记本 i.e. Xiaomi Notebook fits perfectly in the five letter space.

Both the products are going to be exciting and we have been hearing consistently about them for the past few weeks. The Redmi Note 4 is expected to be the company’s first dual camera smartphone, featuring a metal body and Helio X20 chip inside. As for the Xiaomi Notebook, there should be three display variants, but the 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch models are expected to debut first. The larger 15.6-inch could be announced later, as per previous rumors.

For the past few months, Xiaomi has been rumored to release its first laptop in the second half of 2016. Since, today, we officially enter the second half, we are all excited to see when the new Xiaomi laptop will be officially announced. While recently, Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun said that “he couldn’t talk about the product yet“, it kind of confirms the existence of the laptop. And a few hours ago, a new alleged image of the Xiaomi laptop was leaked online.

This is probably the first real and clear image of the Mi laptop that we have seen. And it does reveal a few things about the upcoming device. First of all, like expected, it looks like the Mi laptop has been heavily inspired from the Apple Macbook Pro. The all metal silver design with the Mi logo up front, is almost identical to Apple’s Macbook Pro series.

According to the previous rumors, the Xiaomi Notebook is expected to come in three display variants, 12.5-inches, 13.3-inches and a 15.6-inch model. The small display variants are expected to hit the market first. The specs are expected to be high-end and the pricing should be aggressive as well. The company is said to target the young generation with this new laptop, unlike Huawei, who was targeting the business users with its new Matebook convertible.

Xiaomi’s co-founder and president, Lin Bin revealed this Saturday, Xiaomi will release a new high-performance flagship in July, which is just a few weeks away. However, he failed to mention the name or any feature of the flagship (except that it’s high-end) which makes us wonder which product will meet us next month. Below mentioned are a few guesses based on recent rumors.

Some rumors say that the Xiaomi flagship to be announced next month is going to be none other than the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 flagship. We have been hearing about the device for the past few months and hence, it won’t be surprising if we meet the flagship soon. Another possibility is the Xiaomi Mi Edge, a phone that has been rumored since late 2014. If we indeed meet this device, then expect features such as a flexible / curved screen with a size of around 5.5-5.7 inches.

Specs wise, you can expect a lot of good things inside the new Mi Note 2. The phone is said to come with the Snapdragon 821 chiset, a slightly overclocked version of the SD820. Along with this, you can expect 6GB RAM on board with several variants. Earlier rumors have said that there could be a dual camera version as well. This is possible as recently, an insider posted on Weibo that Xiaomi, OPPO and Apple are all working on dual camera phones this year.

Another possibility is the release of the Xiaomi Notebook. We have seen leaks about this product as well as heard a lot of rumors for the past six months. The Notebook is said to be released this summer and July would be a good time for its 12.5-inch model to be announced. While we haven’t seen the laptop in any images yet, it is said that it will come with a light weight aluminum design to rival the Apple Macbooks.

So, what do you think will be released in July?

Although the internet was filled with rumors and leaks about Xiaomi’s first laptop in the past few months, recently, the rumors have died down. However, earlier today, we spotted a leaked picture of a mould which was reportedly used to make the company’s first laptop computer. It was revealed that the mould was used for the first trial production of the Xiaomi laptop. The Mi logo on the mould hints that this was indeed used for making the body of the new laptop from the company.

According to the previous leaks, the Xiaomi laptop will come with a metal built and will look similar to Apple’s Macbook range. In fact, it is said that the company aims to take on Apple’s Macbook by offering a great design and powerful specs at a much lesser price tag. There have been several reports about the laptop’s pricing, but it is expected to start at around 3000 Yuan ($455).

Recent rumor states that the new Xiaomi laptop will go on sale in Summer this year. This is later than the original planned release date, which was scheduled for Q1 2016. There should be two variants of the device, one with a 12.5-inch display and another with a 15-inch display. Inside, it should be running on the Windows 10 platform. If the pricing is indeed $455, then supply chain sources predict Xiaomi will to ship around 1 million units of its new laptop in a year. Safer predictions can be made only after the official specs and pricing of the handset is revealed.

So, what do you think? If the Mi laptop is priced at just $455, would you consider it over existing established players like Dell, Lenovo or HP?

Just a couple of hours ago, a report citing insider sources said that the Xiaomi Notebook will start shipping from April 2016. Now, some exciting new information about Xiaomi Notebook’s specs has emerged, revealing a lot about the upcoming device.

The Xiaomi Notebook is said to come with pretty high-end specs, enough to take on the powerhouses from Dell and Apple. The laptop will reportedly come with an Intel Core i7 4th Gen chip with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 2GB Graphics memory and Linux OS. This is in line with a previous report which said that the specs of the laptop will be pretty high-end.

The exact Xiaomi Notebook Specs leaked today are given below:

• Operating System: Linux
• Processor: CPU series Intel Core i7 4-generation family
• RAM: 8GB
• Screen size: 15.6-inches
• Screen Resolution: 1920×1080
• Screen technology: LED backlight
• Graphics chip: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M
• Memory capacity: 2GB
• Price: 2999 Yuan ($466)

The pricing is also the same as we heard before, i.e. 2999 Yuan. However, one thing that is new here is the display size. An earlier report said that there could be two laptops, one with a 12.5-inch display and the other with a 13.3-inch display. But this leak states the display as 15.6-inches, so which one is going to turn out to be true, we can’t say for sure at the moment.

The design is expected to be quite similar to the Apple Macbooks with an all metal body. Inventec is expected to be the ODM in charge of designing and manufacturing the device.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi is yet to confirm the existence of a Notebook PC under development. But if it’s real, then expect more information about the device in the coming weeks.

With the sheer number of smartphones released every year, you would think Xiaomi is essentially a smartphone manufacturer. However, if you follow the company closely, you would know that
Xiaomi has diversified its product portfolio in a number of smart product categories such as smart air purifier, water purifier, shoes, baggage, wearables, tablets etc. Now, the company is all set to make its presence felt in the laptop market, which still haven’t seen the kind of progress that we are seeing in the smartphone industry.

For the past few months, multiple reports have revealed that Xiaomi is all set to unveil a Notebook PC in 2016. Many ODM names have come up, like Inventec and Compal who are supposed manufacture the company’s 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch notebooks respectively. However, the company is yet to officially confirm the existence, release or specs of the upcoming device.

Now, a new report originating from Taiwan states that the company’s 12.5-inch Xiaomi Notebook is slated to go into mass production by Q2 2016. The manufacturing will be taken care by the Shanghai factory of Inventec. Finally, the shipments will be ready by April 2016.

The report also gives us an idea about the possible design and pricing of the Xiaomi Notebook. It is said that the components will be supplied by Chinese makers. The overall design will be like Macbook Air with an all metal body. Finally, the pricing is said to be 2999 Yuan which comes to $470 approximately.

So, looks wise, you probably won’t be disappointed. But we still don’t know the exact specifications of the device. As for the software, it will most likely be Linux OS, which will help the company to avoid paying hefty licensing fees to Microsoft for Windows 10 OS.

Unfortunately, we still don’t have details about its larger sibling, the 13.3-inch model which is expected to be manufactured by Compal. Given the scarce amount of information available about the device at the moment, Xioami may announce this larger model after the release of the 12.5-inch one.

So, what do you think about the upcoming Xiaomi Notebook?

Thanks to the numerous leaks in the past couple of months, we know for sure that Xiaomi is working on a new product, the Xiaomi laptop which will reportedly launch sometime early next year. Now, Lao Yao, the secretary general of the China Smartphone Alliance has just revealed a key development.

A few hours ago, he revealed via his Weibo page that Xiaomi has hired an ex-senior official from Lenovo’s Laptop business. This comes at a time when Xiaomi is preparing for the launch of its first laptop. Given the immense experience of this senior official, Mr. Lao says that he could play a crucial role in the development and release of the product.

Further, Lao adds that Xiaomi could also offer MIUI on this new laptop, which will mark the UI’s entry into the computer software industry. However, we still don’t know whether we can expect a Windows 10 powered variant of the laptop as well.

According to a previous report, Xiaomi’s Laptop will be quite different than the existing laptops available in the market. Unfortunately, we don’t know what the CEO of Inventec, Mr. Lee meant by this statement. It could be customization in the software or even the design, but we will have to wait for more information to get some idea about the company’s plans.

Well, with the new official on board the team, we can expect some great stuff from the company in the coming months. Stay tuned for more details.

Xiaomi announced a lot of new products this year in various segments like smartphones, headphones, smart home products etc. While it may seem that now the company is all done for the year, the next few months are going to be even more exciting. In the smartphone lineup, Xiaomi is expected to announce its flagship model, the Xiaomi Mi5. But the announcement may not just end there, as there are other products like a new Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 as well as a Xiaomi laptop that’s coming soon.

While we wait for official details on these products, Pan Jiutang, a leading analyst from China revealed a few more details about the possible release times of these products earlier today. According to him, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 should definitely launch sometime before the end of this year. On the other hand, the much anticipated Xiaomi Mi5 flagship may or may not be announced this year. What’s likely to affect the release date is the mass production of the Snapdragon 820 chip. So, it looks like he expects the new model to come with Qualcomm’s latest chipset.

As for the Xiaomi Laptop, a report from a couple of days back said that the phone will enter into production soon, with the first batch of units to be shipped sometime in the first half of 2016. So, today’s comments from Jiutang only confirms this report.

We would really like to see a new flagship handset from Xiaomi this year, as recently most of the releases have focused on the low-end (Redmi Note 2) or the mid-range market (Mi4i). The only high-end smartphones that were announced this year were near the start. So, fans would love to see a new Xiaomi flagship device like the Mi5 before the end of this year. But Jiutang adds that this will depend on the supply of the Snapdragon 820. And from a previous report, it looks like first 820 powered phones will be available only by Q1 2016. So don’t keep your hopes too high.

But its not really a bad thing, as 2016 will turn out to be an eventful year for Xiaomi fans. We will most likely see the new Mi5 flagship as well as the company’s first laptop debut around the same time. It is said that the laptop will use revolutionary design, unlike its competitors, so we are all the more excited to see what the company has in store for us.

We will try to bring as much news about these new products in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

After a report from Bloomberg which confirmed Xiaomi’s plans for a laptop next year, we haven’t heard much about this new product. However, now, Taiwanese Media reports that Inventec Corp will be manufacturing Xiaomi’s first laptop computer next year. Invetec Corp CEO Richarg Lee confirmed this news yesterday.

Inventec is a famous ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) involved in the making of laptops, mobile servers and smartphones with an experience of more than 20 years. The company is based in Taiwan.

The news comes as a surprise since rumors stated that Foxconn was going to manufacture Xiaomi’s laptop. However, Mr. Lee states that he is unaware of any such plans. He adds that Inventec is currently working with Xiaomi to design a notebook PC much different than the competition.

While talking to reporters, CEO Lee further said that he was excited about the business outlook for Xiaomi’s Notebook computers. Xiaomi has a wide smartphone user base that exceeds 200 million. So, it would be interesting to see how its existing fans react to a new laptop from the company.

Xiaomi will most likely use the same strategy for selling its new laptop as it did with its smartphones. This might bring a revolution to the industry, which has remained more or less stagnant in the past few years. Till now, most companies have resorted to the the traditional way of selling laptops and computers. So, it will be interesting to see whether Xiaomi’s entry into the industry brings about a positive change.

Anyways, since its almost confirmed that the Xiaomi Laptop is real and in production, the next thing we want to know is the specifications. The company is known to bring amazing value to its products and we expect the same with its upcoming laptop.

Expect the first Xiaomi laptop units to ship by Q1 or Q2 of 2016. Hopefully, we will get more news in the coming weeks. So, stay tuned for more updates.

We have seen the startup smartphone maker Xiaomi grow into one of the top manufacturers in the world. The company has aggressively expanded its product lineup in the past couple of years, with new launches like smart shoes, smart air conditioners and even a water purifier. Now, the company is reportedly taking things to the next level, by launching a new Xiaomi laptop by next year. The report comes from Bloomberg sources from Korea, who states that the matter is still private.

The Xiaomi laptop is supposed to compete directly with the premium laptop lineups like Apple Macbook and Lenovo Thinkpads. Both these lineups are known for their premium quality built and high-end specs, so we hope to see a similar combination on the new laptop.

However, there could be one major difference in the Xiaomi made laptop. The company is known to make cost effective products, much cheaper than the competitors in the market. So, the laptop that launches next year could also continue with this tradition. This could further intensify the price competition in the premium market.

The report states that the new Xiaomi Laptop could launch early next year. Unfortunately, the report did not shed light on the possible specifications of the device. Also, we don’t know what operating system it will use in the new laptop. But given that its Android OS based MIUI is heavily customized, we can expect some customization in the laptop OS.

Xiaomi is reportedly in talks with Samsung for supplying memory chips for its upcoming laptop. This deal could further extend to displays, but we are not sure of that at the moment.

Pricing and other details are not available right now but if a Xiaomi laptop is really under development, we don’t have to wait too long to get more details about the device.

Stay tuned for more details!

Xiaomi has quickly become the fourth largest smartphone manufacturer in the world. But apart from phones, the company also has other products in its portfolio like tablet, Router and TV Box. Looks like there will be one more addition to the portfolio as the latest leak suggests at a possible Xiaomi MI laptop in works.

This is not the first time we are hearing about a Xiaomi Notebook as in the past few m0nths, there have been plenty of speculations about the company entering the PC industry as a part of its next strategy. But today, we have something more conclusive, some pictures of the upcoming notebook as well as its configuration.

Some photos of the Xiaomi Notebook cropped up online today. As you can see in the pictures, the device looks exactly like Apple’s Macbook Air except for the logo on the front and the back. Below the display is the bright orange ‘MI’ branding and at the back too there is a silver ‘MI’ logo. The laptop also features a special orange colored function button that can take custom functions from the user.

The leak also provides some specs. The Xiaomi laptop will be powered by the latest Intel Haswell i7-4500u processor with 2 x 8GB dual channel memory. There will be a large 15-inch 1080p display up front. The laptop is expected to run on a linux OS customized by Xiaomi. As for the price, it is said that this Xiaomi laptop will retail for somewhere around 2999 Yuan which comes to around $481.

If these specs and pictures are of the real Xiaomi notebook, then we may have a winner here. The specs and the pricing make it a value for money device, much like other Xiaomi products. So, this laptop may turn out to be a best seller like Redmi 1S and the Xiaomi Mi3.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi is yet to announce anything officially and we still don’t know whether the company is actually developing a laptop in spite of these rumors. But given that we have been hearing about such a device for a long time plus with the company expanding into newer products like the recently announced Xiaomi Air Purifier, we won’t be surprised if Xiaomi does release this notebook PC sometime later next year.
