Xiaomi on Monday at its Mi MIX 2 and Mi Note 3 launch event unveiled a new
laptop, called the Mi Notebook Pro. The company is touting the use of eight generation
Intel Core i7 processors as a highlight of the laptop, as well as a new 'symmetrical cooling design' that cools it down more efficiently. Featuring a 15.6-inch display, the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro was compared with the 15-inch
MacBook Pro 2017 throughout the launch presentation. Another highlight is the addition of a fingerprint sensor in the touchpad itself, compatible with
Windows Hello.
