Xiaomi is set to officially unveil the Mi Mix 2 tomorrow and we already know the tech giant will also take the wraps off the Mi Note 3 on the same day. There are indications that Xiaomi will also launch a new laptop on that same day. The rumor tips the laptop as known as Mi Notebook Pro.

The Mi Notebook Pro is billed to come with a larger display which sits at 15.6 inches but this is still unconfirmed. The device recently received its 3C certification which is usually for the charger. It shows the Notebook comes with 20V/2.25A or 20V/3.25A power adapter and theoretically, the maximum power supply of this configuration is 45W or 65W respectively. From this, it is likely that this machine is not a gaming laptop because the high-end requirements of games would require an 80W or higher power adapter. In addition, the 3C notification shows that this notebook supports 4G mobile network.

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 entered into the personal computer market this year with its Mi Notebook Air. Available in two sizes: a 12.5-inch model and a 13-inch model, which also sport different internals; the Mi Notebook Air has been praised for its design and build quality. Although we can’t ignore how it shares similarities to Apple’s MacBook Air, something Xiaomi is not even ashamed of hiding as it is evident in even the naming.

You might have thought we wouldn’t be hearing of a new Mi Notebook Air not until next year, but Xiaomi thinks differently as they have a new model launching in Beijing on Friday, 23rd of December.

The invitation to the event shows the right side of a computer similar to the Mi Notebook Air, however this one seems to have a 4G module as there is a 4G network signal in the lower right corner of the screen. The invitation also has Xiaomi’s logo and China Mobile’s logo on it. Sources say there is a chance this is just a 4G version of the original Mi Notebook Air and nothing more. We however don’t want to rule out the fact that it might feature some additional changes.
