2016-07-29
now I know what you're thinking you're thinking Jase this is just some MacBook Air clone and there is some truth to that but it also represents a major shift in strategy for Xiaomi because they're announcing to the world that it isn't just about phones anymore there are two sizes of the me notebook air a 12.5 inch and a 13.3 inch while neither of these fit the typical size of a workhorse laptop they definitely fulfill the ultraportable demands of a highly mobile lifestyle the 13.3 inch model is both thinner and lighter than Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air and the 12.5 inch is thinner but a little heavier than Apple's 11 inch air both sizes of the me notebook air feature full HD displays that's 1920 by 1080 that equates to a pixel density of 176 pixels per inch on the 12.5 inch model and 165 PPI on the 13.3 inch model compare this to 130 PPI on the 13-inch MacBook Air on 142 PPI on the 11 inch model and you're getting more pixel density display we can't comment on the quality of Shami panel just yet though now when it comes to price this is where Xiaomi always wins the price is the 13.3 inch my notebook air is 4999 1 or $750 u.s. and you'll pay as little as 520 us for the 12.5 inch model well there are some less impressive and turtles on the smaller laptop you do get an additional 2 hours of battery life on the 12.5 inch model these are pretty impressive specs and are roughly two-thirds the costs of Apple's offerings now let's get down and dirty with the specs first up the 13.3 inch me notebook air comes with an intel core processor i 5 that's up to 2.7 gigahertz with an nvidia geforce 940 max GPU and there's eight gigabytes of ddr4 ram 256 gigabytes of SSD and a PCIe with one empty SATA slot 4 shall me serviced Maree expansion the smaller model comes with some lighter specs including an Intel Core M 3 CPU and it has no dedicated GPU it has 4 gigabytes of RAM 128 gigabytes in the SSD via SATA and again with one free PCIe slot there's only one USB 3.0 port on the smaller model but you still get HDMI and dual AKG speakers this model is reportedly good for 11.5 hours of battery life in a weighs just over one kilogram another interesting feature is that both me notebook airs will be available in silver and gold but can be unlocked via bluetooth with your me band 2 device now when it comes to availability the xiaomi me notebook airs will be available august 2nd in china but no release date plans have been announced for the global markets i expect that if it does really well it will open up well wait and see personally on paper these look great i would love to get one there look fantastic and sleek and very affordable i mean they're much much cheaper than the competitors my only concern is Windows 10 you know what I'm saying you guys remember from like 15 years ago when people were making money hand over fist in the.com bubble remember we didn't call it a dotnet bubble or dot org bubble we didn't call them dot biz billionaires we called them dot-com billionaires because that's the power of a.com now why is that because no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name.com and dotnet domain name extensions inject credibility into your online presence save 15% on domain names and web hosting when you use our coupon code Android at domain.com check out when you think domain names think domain.com you
