Like, may it be that when i have a downloaded movie on there and i want to stream it/watch it on my TV that it'll not work or something?

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13" Review

Pics: http://imgur.com/a/gruNc

It's a very fast unit.

Keyboard and trackpad work well -- trackpad multitouch works almost as well as Apple's.

13" is roughly as thin as my 12" retina MacBook but is a little thicker; footprint is bigger because 13" vs 12".

Display quality is 9/10 - would prefer higher resolution but it's fine as is. Colors are rich, no major wash out seen so far. One word: vibrant.

Pretty killer computer.
Overall, 10/10 happy. For $900, I think this kicks the shit out of your thinkpads, competes with Apple with regard to hardware, and is a solid buy.
