With the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro, the brand attacks an Everest of the PC world. The 15.6 “market is indeed the world’s largest portable, it is the one that serves as the lung to this industry even if the growth takes place in more mobile ranges and PC gaming often very different from the 15-inch base. Without this particular market, it would be impossible for all players in the PC world to drive the prices of the components. The fact that Xiaomi attacks this niche is, therefore, more than a small sting on the big beast that is the PC market. It is a blow of a club that first targets the Chinese public.

After the Air, the Pro. If Xiaomi has been talking about the PC market for a good year with its excellent models that are the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air in 12.5 and 13.3 “, the brand does not intend to stop in such good way and now offers a version 15.6” of his vision of the laptop. As for the previous models, the brand tackles the problem by focusing on a competitor signed Apple. The MacBook Pro is the target of this new model and, as usual, the Chinese manufacturer frontally attacks the brand to the apple with the massive argument of a much more attractive price.

Design

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro offers a 15.6″ Full HD screen and protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass. The definition may seem quite limited to some, it is undoubtedly facing a MacBook Pro, but it is probably chosen carefully by the brand to spare the embedded graphics processor on the one hand and especially the battery on the other hand. Going higher is expensive in terms of autonomy and is one of the key points of this market. The manufacturer could have chosen to push towards an Ultra HD1 but this choice should have been followed either by a change of battery – and therefore of thickness as of weight – or by a great loss of autonomy. Xiaomi chose the very wise way of a screen finish without large edges, they measure 6.52 mm and this allows the 15.6″ to propose acceptable dimensions: 36 cm wide for 24.3 of depth and a thickness of 15.9 mm. The total weight of this Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro is 1.95 Kilo, which remains perfectly correct for a 15.6″. The 15.6 “is shiny and apparently very bright. The Corning slab loves to reflect the world, which will flatter the Narcissus but will hinder the users of the machine as long as their environment is bright.

Hardware

All these configurations ship 256 GB of SSD to PCIe storage. All models will feature a Nvidia GeForce MX150 external graphics chipset. The ventilation will be active on this model and the brand will propose a dual system of exhaust hot air a little strange to believe the rare images putting it forward. It is generally preferred to create a single path for ventilation of air within such a PC. Doubling the extraction of the air can generate disturbances, it will again have to judge on pieces to form an opinion.
