Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 (2018) review – wait, that’s not a Macbook?!

So let’s put things that way – if you are a fan of Xiaomi devices, the chances are high that you are going to love this product. On the contrary, if you are looking for the best laptop for the cheapest price, we wouldn’t exactly recommend this computer. Obviously, we are biased, since keyboards are quite important to us, but the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is more or less a device for content absorption, rather than content creation.
