Reviews for the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro i5
Who invented it? To recognize similarities to the Apple design language in other manufacturers has become a tradition nowadays. The inhibition threshold for this is particularly low in the Chinese brands. With the Mi Notebook Pro, Xiaomi follows Apple's MacBook Pro, at least in terms of the looks. At a price below 1000 Euros (~$1177), the device offers an attractive package with a quad-core CPU, dedicated graphics card, and pleasing aluminum case. But what is behind the exterior?

Archive.org versionThe Mi Notebook Pro is limited to China, and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon. Xiaomi is aggressively expanding its portfolio in India, its second-largest market, but as of now it's unclear whether the manufacturer's notebooks will end up coming to the subcontinent. As such, your best option of picking up the Mi Notebook Pro is via Gearbest.

Archive.org versionThe Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro is a gorgeous laptop with decent performance, a large screen and an attractive price tag. However, it is a real headache to set up out of the box, and something we would never recommend for novice users. We'd also prefer to use a higher-resolution screen on a laptop of this size, and the US keyboard is a drawback.

Archive.org versionThe Mi Notebook Pro is a great laptop – an astounding piece of tech, in fact. It uses cutting-edge components and can be had for far less than rival machines. Some fundamental issues remain, though.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
