News emanating from China indicates that Xiaomi will release its expected Xiaomi Notebook laptop on July 27. We had earlier reported of a Xiaomi news conference coming up on July 27 where the company is expected to release a series of phones, including the dual-camera clad Redmi Note 4, Mi Note 2 and other mobile gadgets.

According to fresh reports, Xiaomi will officially launch its Notebook laptop during the news conference. The Xiaomi Notebook is expected to cram an Intel Atom processor and will boot Windows 10 operating system. One unique feature of the Xiaomi Notebook is its ultra-slim built, as well as long battery life.

Earlier rumors had indicated that the Xiaomi Notebook laptop 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 slim device also packs a webcam just like on the MacBook.

The Notebook was earlier on expected to hit the market in the first half of this year but was reported to have been delayed to the second half (H2) and production was reported to have commenced in May.

Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun had taken to Weibo to share the company’s lofty plans for the second half of the year to launch a series of devices in H2 2016 and now, the list of devices popping up into the market on July 27 keeps swelling. Could we see more devices coming out? That we don’t know, what we know is the Xiaomi Notebook may have just joined the list of devices launching July 27.

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.
