Users can configure either variant with up to 16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD.

The Mi Notebook Ultra features a 15.6-inch TrueLife+ 16:10 3.2K (3,200 x 2,000) display with 100% sRGB gamut coverage, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a screen-to-body ratio of 89%. Xiaomi said that the Mi Notebook Ultra's display is TÜV Rheinland-certified and supports DC Dimming to reduce eye strain.
