Reviews for the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3 2016

85.9% Xiaomi Mi Air (13.3-inch) Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
Successful debut. Xiaomi delivers its first product into the notebook field with the Mi Notebook Air. The Chinese manufacturer does not do things in a small way and wants to play in a league with established competitors. You can read in our detailed test review whether the upstart can perform such a feat or not.
70% Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13 review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
If importing the Xiaomi laptop then installing Windows 10 doesn't put you off then the Mi Notebook Air 13 is a decent choice. It offers great build quality and the specs mean great performance, namely thanks to the Nvidia graphics card (a rare thing) even if the processor is an old generation. Our main gripes are the lacklustre battery life and lack of an SD card slot.

This is the larger and more powerful 13.3″ Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air. It’s powered by a Core i5 6200U, 8gb of DDR4 clocked to 2133Mhz, 256GB Samsung NVMe SSD and Nvidia 940MX GPU with 1GB of DDR5 ram for 3D. It’s got switchable graphics so depending on what you’re doing it will use the Nvidia GPU or Intel 520 iGPU.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

83.58%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
