Technowize “Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air Review”

We aren’t sure whether China loves Apple, but we can assure you that the Chinese giants love to copy Apple. Xiaomi, for instance, concentrates on manufacturing its series of smartphone and tablets whose designs bear a striking resemblance with Apple’s iPhones and iPads. The company keeps comparing its low budget devices with Apple’s high-end lineup at every launch event. It seems copying smartphones and iPads was never enough for Xiaomi, which is why the Chinese manufacturer unveiled Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air on Wednesday. The sleek and classy notebooks look every inch of a MacBook Air clone, but Xiaomi isn’t bothered as long as it keeps its customers happy.
