Xiaomi and China Mobile present: The Mi Notebook Air 4G

Xiaomi introduced their first two notebooks in July of this year and called them Mi Notebook Air. In China both a 12.5 inch and a 13.3 inch version (which we tested) are available. Just two days before Christmas, Xiaomi unveiled new versions of the two notebooks but except for an updated Core i7 processor instead of a Core i5 on the 13.3 inch model, they resemble the original versions. The only obvious change is an additional LTE module with eSIM that comes courtesy of China Mobile, one of China's largest mobile network providers. The price of the two notebooks, the 12.5 inch versions comes in at $676 and the 13.3 inch version costs you $1005, includes one year of 4G data with China Mobile including a 4 GB data allowance each month. Here are the updated specs of the two notebooks:
