Featuring an all metallic glossy body, Mi Notebook Air will feature a 13.3-inch full HD screen coupled with a 5.59mm-thick bezel.
Lenovo had great timing when it came to announcing its Lenovo Air 13 Pro. We would love to hear your thoughts on this new Windows 10 device!
It is powered by a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-6200U which is capable of being increased up to 2.7GHz when used in “Turbo” mode. The computer comes equipped with a massive 4GB of RAM onboard and a built-in 256GB of PCIe internal memory storage, which can be expanded via an SDXC card slot. The 13.3-inch model also features a discrete graphics card from Nvidia.
Moreover what’s really surprising is that the machine weighs in at 1.29kg which is really close to Mi’s 1.28kgs on the Mi Notebook Air 13. The largest difference is arguably the addition of a fingerprint reader on the Lenovo notebook, a useful feature that may be the tipping point for unsure customers. In connectivity portion, the gadget is featured with two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI port, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It is expected to go up to CNY 5,499 (Rs 56,000 approx) after the pre-sale time period ends.

The 12.5-inch Mi Book Air’s Intel Core M processor is also not a popular choice among brand vendors for ultra-thin notebooks as many adopt Core i-series processors for better performance. The super-sleek ultrabook is a great alternative to the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air – light and decently specced, but with less RAM.
