Now with a more powerful processor
While Xiaomi officially sells the 13.3-inch variant of the Mi Notebook Air, its smaller variant is a performer as well. We were able to review one a few years back, and we gave high marks for it. For its Php 30k asking price, it is hard to find any flaws in this notebook, given its immense value for money.
Fast forward two years later, Xiaomi upgrades the 12.5 Mi Notebook Air by swapping the previous generation’s Core M3 processor for a 7th-generation Core i5 Processor. Aside from that, you get double the internal storage at 256GB. Save for those changes, you still enjoy the Mi Notebook Air’s 12.9mm thin chassis, along with the essential ports like a USB 3.0 port, a USB Type-C port, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Even with the processor upgrade, you still enjoy its long 11.5-hour battery life with support for fast charging.
The 12.5-inch Mi Notebook Air (2018) sells in China for CNY 4299(~Php 33k).
