Thoughts on the new Mi Notebook Air ? specs: >Intel Core

>>55779601
Too expensive, and most consumers will be satisfied by a tablet.

People who really want power will laugh at the 940MX

Loaded with backdoors?
But it's good for the price. Still won't get it over a good 2 in 1 though.

>>55779601
wonder what the screen color coverage will be. 100% srgb? a real macbook killer then.

>>55779618
>$750
>expensive

What the fuck. That's like, 680€. That's pretty cheap for the specs and weight, not to mention it looks great.

>>55779625
>Loaded with backdoors?
>But it's good for the price. Still won't get it over a good 2 in 1 though.

You should be able to wipe it and put a good distro on it shouldn't you?

>>55779672
not if its hardware backdoors

>>55779668
nah we want thinkpad

Mobo is probably some cheap chink piece of shit with shared buses and shit, also where is the Ethernet port?

>>55779684
Yeah true I suppose. I thought apple wasn't to bad when it came to that stuff, at least not to the point of hardware backdoors

>>55779704
At this point isn't everything just a chink piece of shit?

>>55779672 Xiaomi is pretty hostile towards any third party software.

>>55779713
really makes you think

>>55779601
> >Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU
Why? I mean, they could've install a CPU with Iris GPU and throw away that GPU.

>>55779601
>940MX
If the gpu is worse than an Iris 6200, it's not worth it no matter how you look at it
>dual core i5
If it's worse than a G3258, it's not worth it

>>55779704
I read that it's Asus mobo

>where is the Ethernet port?
welp, not there

>>55779784
>>55779704
Doesen't the usb type c also work as an ethernet jack if you have the hub to it?

hey op, apple worker drone here - Apple is going to discontinue the Macbook Air line at the end of the quarter / early next quarter. You will be able to get sweat 'super airs' with 8 gB for like 900...its a no brainer.

Don't support da chinkbait. Get the laptop that will last and act as a comfortable sight to normie bitches, whom, by the way, have vaginas that feel even better than your tengu laden waifu stick.

hmm kind of disappointing about the graphics

I want to like it, why

>>55779923
Anyone that constantly pulls over 100Mbps.

>>55779825
That's just a USB Ethernet controller with a fancy plug, type C doesn't change anything there.

>>55779945
i do 250mbps over wifi

OK

Better specs at lower price and no chink backdoors, why would I get that?

Because you are a shill?

>what are import rights

With import rights, shipping costs and other taxes this macbook air clone will cost the same as a Lenovo Ideapad 710S.
Which is both thinner and lighter and imo better looking.
Who would buy from Xiaomeme when there are plenty of similarly priced alternatives from established computer companies.

>>55780404
it's not mine, just a random pic from the web with a slim ethernet port that opens up when you need it

you know, designed by people who actually give a flying fuck

looks like a fucking macbook from 2005

>>55780310
Xiaomi is an established company

>>55780408
What do you want to do with two displays and a 940MX?

>>55780420

looks awful

People who install linux on things

It can be kind of a PITA when OS X doesn't even have full ext2 support without a proprietary $50 driver+tools suite. You have to use a linux VM with raw disk access.

>>55780258

Look at the time, they're all probably still sleeping

>>55779601
If you're gonna buy a Macbook knock-off, you may as well buy an Asus Zenbook, the ORIGINAL Macbook knock-off.

Plays nice with Linux, and less likely to have hardware backdoors.

>>55780430

no thanks.

>>55779601
Looks like a nice little out-and-about laptop for the occasional game player. That 940MX is good enough to play most games at 720p 30+, and autism shit like Minecraft at full 1080p near 60.

Definitely better than my Macbook Pro 13" integrated graphics, but 16:10 screen with perfect font rendering spoils me. As a programmer the winning laptop is always the one with the best looking text.

>>55780427
same thing i do with the laptop display + two external ones. on integrated graphics. fucking programming. you know... work!

Enjoy your questionable build quality and wi-fi reception.

It's a macbook clone. Even macbooks don't have ethernet ports these days. Shows how long you've been in the cave.

>>55780742
macbooks aren't a good fucking example, you retard. even if it's a clone, it's no excuse for not adding one

>>55780742
Well it would still be nice. Why copy something and not try to improve on a glaring flaw?

Not really powerful enough for anything but wastes space and affects cooling. Meh.

>13.3-inch, full-HD (1,920x1,080-pixels)
Eh, a low PPI screen with 16:9 cancer for consumer plebs, at least it's going to be dirt cheap, right?

>Type-C USB for charging, 2x USB 3.0, 1x HDMI, 3.5mm audio port
Pretty basic too.

>40Wh battery, 9.5 hours
Very unlikely. Would be surprised if it lasts more than 7h.

Way too expensive for what it offers. Also what about the build quality and materials? Trackpad? Keyboard?

>>55781668

Xiaomi soft bricked my phone 2 days ago with an official """"""""stable""""""""" update

Never pay more than $20 for chink tech

But will it run GNU/Linux? That's all that matters.

Now that's a better deal, although SSD it bit small. The shitty resolution shouldn't be as noticeable on a smaller screen too.

Their battery claim sounds like bullshit tho, companies should be sued for lying.
