It is discernible to say that 2014 is an extremely successful year of Xiaomi with variety of products in its portfolios: Tvs, headphones and even the Mi Air Purifier. Xiaomi is now on the top five of the world’s largest smartphone makers with their super-affordable and high-quality devices. Therein, the Xiaomi Redmi 1S and the Xiaomi Mi3 was sold as their hot cakes. And now, it seems that Xiaomi is ambitious to expand into the PC market with its first ever laptop.

 

Actually, this is not the first time we hear about Xiaomi Notebook as in the past few m0nths. And, we’re now seeing plenty of photos and specific specs of this possible computer. And more interestingly, this device is extremely similar to the Apple Macbook Air line.

Xiaomi has been accused of copying Apple’s design for its phones and tablets and this time, it looks like not an exception. This new device is much similar to the Apple Macbook Air line, not only in its design but also other specs.

The device looks exactly like Apple’s Macbook Air except for the logo on the front and the back which appears to have a sandstone finish in contrast to Apple’s signature aluminum. And the other special difference is the orrange power button instead of black also helps the Mi laptop stands out to the others.

The rumours are also generous enough in giving us some other detail of this device. According to this source, this device will feature 15-inch variant with a Full HD 1080p display. Moreover, its device will be powered by the latest Intel Haswell i7-4500u processor along with 16GB internal memory. The laptop is expected to run on a linux OS customized by Xiaomi. As for the critical thing, the rumours also said that its laptop will be priced at around 2999 Yuan which comes to around $481 or PHP 21865. 

With all of this listed specs and the overall appearance and its impressive price, this device launch will like rock concerts. Unfortunately, Xiaomi isn’t yet to announce anything officially and so far we dont have any official announcement on our hands. But please stay tuned for more information forward, which to say that this is a true or just a beautiful dream. But with all of rumours recently and what Xiaomi did and proved after that, we won’t be surprised if Xiaomi does debut this notebook PC sometime later next year.
