At the beginning of this month, at China Joy 2018,
Xiaomi released two new laptops in face of the new Xiaomi Gaming Laptop and the
Notebook Pro GTX Version. The former model was priced at starting 6699 yuan
(US$ 978), while the lowest version of the latter came at 6299 yuan (US$ 919). Today,
the manufacturer officially announced it will release a new laptop on August
23. So the Xiaomi notebooks’ family will get another member in a few days.
There are not many things we can learn from the promo
poster. However, the new Xiaomi notebook will come with a 15.6-inch screen, and
the biggest highlight will be the full-featured keyboard with a numeric keypad
area. This is more suitable for the office tasks.
There are no hints what hardware the new Xiaomi
notebook will come with, but we have no doubts it will be packed with the
latest 8th-gen Intel chips. At the same time, the laptop should be packed with
a Full HD screen with narrow borders and many useful ports. Shortly, its design
is expected to be similar to the Xiaomi Notebook Pro.
At present, Xiaomi notebooks are divided into two
categories of office and game. But both models are equipped with a high
configuration, provide a great performance, and adopt a humanized design.
However, the design is relatively homogenous and lacks customization. If Xiaomi
can introduce more fashion styles in the future, it will be able to attract
more customers.
Recently, Zhang Hua, vice president of Lenovo Group
and general manager of China’s consumer business, was interviewed. When asked
about his views and comments on the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop, he said that it’s
welcomed to see more companies entering this field and develop with the
industry. Obviously, it is advantageous. But at the same time, he also stressed
that Lenovo’s products are solid. There are more than twenty years of work, it
really matters. So imitation is OK, but those companies have to pay more
attention to research, which is the only guarantees of development.
