We’ve gotten used to the fact that European warehouses are much more expensive than Chinese ones, but sometimes it’s worth looking around there too!

As a Xiaomi notebook user, I can confidently say that the manufacturer’s machines are world class. Competitors with similar capabilities in domestic stores often cost 100 forints more, so if you are really looking for a very good and exclusive notebook, it is worth considering ordering from China. Except now, because we can also order three machines from a European warehouse, plus they are tough cheap.

Xiaomi Air 12 Laptop

Xiaomi's smallest machines are now on sale. The standard Xiaomi quality is obtained in an extremely light, extremely thin and long-lasting 12,5-inch notebook. Of course, this machine will attract the attention of our environment not with its muscle strength, but with its extremely compact size and exclusive appearance.

The central unit of the machine is a terribly economical Intel Core m3-6Y30 with two processor cores. To save money, the clock speed of the processor cores scales depending on the use, so it works at 900 MHz at low load, while at higher load it reaches 2,2 GHz. In addition to the processor, the machine has 4 GB of DDR3 memory and 128 GB of SSD-based storage. The machine's display is based on IPS technology and, despite its small size, has a resolution of full HD, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The Xiaomi Air 12 laptop has a battery that is significant in size and has a capacity of 5000 mAh. According to the manufacturer, it can operate for 6 hours without recharging, even in heavy use, such as continuous video playback. In addition to these, of course, you will find everything that can be expected in the notebook. We also get Bluetooth connectivity, ac standard WiFi and USB 3.0 connection available on USB Type-C interface.

This machine would cost $ 800 from a Chinese warehouse, but now we can also buy it from a European warehouse as part of a promotion, plus it’s much cheaper, for just $ 540. Shipping costs only $ 5,55 and the machine can be in our hands within 3-5 business days of ordering.

Here you will find the 12-inch Xiaomi notebook: Xiaomi Air 12 Laptop

The machine arrives from a European warehouse in 2-5 working days, and you are guaranteed not to pay any customs duties or VAT afterwards!

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3

The second machine in size is the 13,3-inch version of the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air now available in two configurations. What they have in common is that they are both equipped with the latest series of Intel Core i5-7200U processors, in addition to which we find 8 GB of DDR4 memory and 256 GB of PCD Express-coupled SSD storage. What makes them different is the graphics accelerator. The cheaper ones work with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 620, and the more expensive ones work with the NVIDIA GeForce MX 150.

With the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air, the manufacturer competes with Apple machines, of course, Windows. With an extremely thin thickness of 1,48 centimeters and a low weight of 1,3 kilograms, these machines beat the hearts of all users of tech mania and ultra-exclusive products. The fold-up display thickness on these machines is just 5,59 millimeters, which remains durable thanks to the full metal housing.

As with all Xiaomi notebooks, these machines have large keys that make typing easier. Other elements of the hardware are also outstanding. WiFi supports 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac standards, Bluetooth 4.1. The display is a very good full HD, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution IPS panel. With a built-in 5400 mAh battery, no less than 8 hours of standby time is achieved, and a fast charge takes up to two hours from zero to full charge. The sound quality is outstanding in my own experience, and it's quite surprising how strong and clear the sounds come from them with the Dolby Audio Premium Sorrund technology supported by bass enhancement.

As I indicated above, these machines are now available from a European warehouse at a surprisingly low cost. A machine with an Intel graphics accelerator costs $ 799 (Chinese price: $ 946), while a version with a more powerful VGA costs $ 790 (Chinese price: $ 965). I don’t know what causes this discrepancy, maybe a warehouse sweep or something, but we don’t have to care about it, it’s enough if we’re happy enough and hit one of them.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro

The line isn’t over yet, as the larger Mi Notebook Pro, unveiled last fall, is also here. This machine is exactly the design I use. Needless to say, although I ordered from China just a month and a half ago, I paid $ 200 more for it than the current price. If I know that I get it from Eu warehouse for sure, I'm sure I'll wait a little more for the order.

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook pro is also a notebook that I think everyone wants. So far, any of my acquaintances saw it right away, they wanted to know what kind of machine it was, and in fact, one of them had already ordered his own. No wonder this machine is playing in the most expensive category and is much cheaper than its domestically available competitors with similar capabilities. The machine comes with the latest series of Intel Core i5-8250U or Intel Core i7-8550U processors, along with 8 or 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB PCI Express interface SSD. The machine also has an empty PCI Express connector, so we can expand the storage space later if we don't find enough.

The machine is surprisingly thin, just one and a half inches thick. An acquaintance of mine told me that the notebook cooler he uses is much thicker than my notebook. The back is made of magnesium alloy, which is extremely rigid, so despite its ridiculously thin design, it does not squat. Here, too, the keys are larger than usual, they are perfect for me to write articles - I am also writing this recommendation on this one.

In terms of hardware, we get essentially similar capabilities to the 13-inch machine. What’s different is of course the display, which here is 15,6 inches, has a resolution of Full HD and is based on IPS technology. The battery is also larger. The 8000 mAh unit can be energized on a USb Type-C port with a quick charger. The charging time is a maximum of two hours, so in return, in my experience, cheese, under normal use, is enough to plug into a charger once a day.

You will soon be able to read a detailed test of this machine with us, I will speak in advance, I will only write good things about it!

As I heralded this machine is also surprisingly cheap now in European warehouse. A machine with an i5 processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage currently costs $ 883 (Chinese price: $ 1082), while a notebook with an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD is priced at $ 978 from European stock ( Chinese price $ 1199). 

You know, in the case of a European order, you are guaranteed not to have to pay VAT or customs duties after the order, ie the machine will cost as much as you can see on the site. Plus, the good news is that since it comes from a European warehouse, the ordered notebook can be in your hands within 2-5 working days. I’ve been waiting for it for a month from China, so that’s why it’s worth thinking about buying it now!
