Jun. 11, 2020Xiaomi has stepped foot into the cluttered laptop market in India today. Yeah, the fans have been pestering the Chinese giant to bring its laptops to the country for many years and well, that day finally came. Xiaomi has launchedtheMi Notebook 14 lineupin India today. It includes the Mi Notebook 14 and a brand new ‘Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition’ that has never been launched globally before.
Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition
Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition boasts an all-metal design with no branding on the outside – clean and minimal. It’s made from an aluminum and magnesium alloy and weighs just 1.35 kgs. Unlike the Mi Notebook variants in China, neither of the Indian variants come baked with a fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking via Windows Hello.
This laptop sports a14-inch Full-HD anti-glare LCD displaywith a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 91% screen-to-body ratio. The panel boasts a 178-degree viewing angle, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 250 nits of peak brightness. Since the bezels here are super tiny, you don’t get a built-in webcam onboard.
Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition includes achiclet keyboard(not a full-size) with 1.3mm key travel and a fairly modest-size trackpad. The laptop includes a single fan and a large 2350 square-millimeter air intake area for improved cooling. You also get Mi Smart Share for faster file sharing and Blaze Unlock for unlocking the laptop using a Mi Band. You can read about how to set it upright here.
Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition comes equipped with a46Wh battery, which the company promises should last you up to 10 hours on a single charge. The laptop, as teased earlier last week, supports 1C fast-charging. It can juice up your battery from 0% to 50% in just around 30 minutes, which is great.
The standardMi Notebook 14has some noticeable differences – both on the design and internals front. This variant is essentially a rebranded version of theRedmiBook 14 Pro, which made its debut in China back in August last year.
The most obvious differentiator between the two variants is the bezels. Mi Notebook 14 comes with thicker bezels surrounding the 14-inch Full-HD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 178-degree viewing angle, and 250 nits of peak brightness. Even though we have bigger bezels here, you still don’t get a built-in webcam. Xiaomi, however, will be bundling an external HD webcam in the box.
The connectivity and battery features for this variant remains the same as the Horizon Edition, so yeah, you won’t be missing out on anything here.
The Mi Notebook 14 comes in three configurations and has beenpriced starting at Rs. 41,999in India. You can find the prices of all three variants listed below:
The Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition comes in two variants. The Core-i5 variant has been priced at Rs. 54,999 while the Core-i7 variant will cost you Rs. 59,999. Both the laptops come in a single colorway – Mercury Gray and it looks quite stunning in real-life. Both of these laptops will go on starting from June 17 on Amazon India, Mi.com, and offline Mi stores across India.
