In case you are wondering, the MX150 is a NVIDIA's entry-level Pascal laptop chip, which should deliver up to three times better performance-per-watt than the 940MX.Īs for memory, it is still set at 8GB, with a choice between either 128GB or 256GB of solid state storage. The GTX 940MX GPU has also been traded up for a GeForce MX150. The older 6th gen Core-i5 processor has been swapped for a 7th gen Core i5-7200U with a maximum clockspeed of 3.1GHz. The new model comes with a fingerprint reader, embedded in the corner of the trackpad, as well as an internal hardware refresh. As per the early info, this time around, Xiaomi only treated the 13.3-inch variant to some new hardware and not the ultraportable 12.5-inch one. And while the latter should come as no surprise to anybody familiar with the Chinese OEM's work, it is rather odd that the original Mi Notebook Air was unveiled last July and a second generation has been repeatedly teased and leaked ever since, with no actual progress to report.Ī 4G-capable variant was released in December and now we have what seems to be yet another refresh on our hands. Xiaomi's presence on the trendy ultralight laptop market is still very limited and rather confusing, but undeniably impressive in terms of value.
