Xiaomi is also looking to dominate the laptop market in India. Following the recent launch of the Redmibook 15 series in the country, Xiaomi has now launched two premium Mi Notebook offerings. The Mi Notebook Pro and Mi Notebook Ultra were unveiled at Xiaomi's "Smarter Living 2022" event. They include a 3.2K display, Intel Core H-series CPUs from the 11th generation, rapid charging, and more.
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Ultra: Specifications
This laptop is Xiaomi's most premium offering in India so far. The Mi Notebook Ultra is thin and light, with a unibody metal build. The laptop is only 17.9mm thick and weighs 1.7 kg. The design (including the Mi Notebook Pro) appears to be influenced by the Apple MacBook Pro.
The Mi Notebook Ultra's most impressive feature is undoubtedly its beautiful display. A 15.6-inch 3.2K IPS LCD panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 3200 x 2000p resolution is included in the device. The screen here has a 90Hz refresh rate, a 100% sRGB colour gamut, DC dimming, and a hardware-based blue light filter, among other features. In India, this is perhaps the greatest display Xiaomi has ever featured in a laptop (unlike the latest Redmibook 15).
Both the Mi Notebook Ultra and Pro are equipped with an 11th-generation Intel Core i7-11370H CPU. There's also a 512GB NVMe SSD and up to 16GB of 3200MHz RAM onboard. In addition, the laptop has Intel Iris Xe graphics rather than Nvidia's MX450 GPU, which is available in China on the same model.
On the right, you'll find a USB-A connector and a 3.5mm audio jack, as well as other I/O ports and connectivity choices. A USB-C port with Power Delivery, a thunderbolt 4 port, a USB Type-A port, and an HDMI 1.4 port are all located on the left edge. Out of the box, the Mi Notebook Ultra supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
Finally, we'll go through the battery and charging specs. With the 70Wh battery pack, Xiaomi claims up to 12-hours of battery life on a single charge. The Mi Notebook Ultra has a USB-C connector onboard that allows 65W rapid charging. The laptop comes pre-installed with Windows 10 and will receive a free update to Windows 11 when it becomes available in October of this year.
A fingerprint sensor integrated with the power button, 2 x 2W stereo speakers, and a backlit keyboard round out the Mi Notebook Ultra's features. Yes, unlike the Redmibook, Xiaomi's Mi Notebooks have a three-level illuminated keyboard with 1.5mm key travel.
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro: Specifications
Between the Mi Notebook Pro and Ultra variants, there are only minor differences. The Pro model is slightly thinner (17.3mm) and weighs 1.4kg less than its Ultra version. The Mi Notebook Pro has a smaller 14-inch 2.5K QHD+ display with a 100 per cent sRGB colour gamut, 2560 x 1600p resolution, and up to 300 nits of brightness instead of the 3.2K display.
Apart from that, Xiaomi offers a battery life of up to 11 hours, as opposed to the Ultra variant's 12-hours. The USB Type-C connection on both laptops supports 65W fast charging.
Aside from that, both variants include the same 11th-Gen Intel Core H35 processors, up to 16GB of 3200MHz RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and other features. It includes an aluminium chassis, the same set of I/O ports, a fingerprint scanner built into the power button, and comes preloaded with Windows 10 Home. It, like many other laptops and PCs, will be upgradeable to Windows 11.

The Mi Notebook Pro will be offered in two configurations, with pricing for both variants available here in India:
- Rs. 56,999 for Mi Notebook Pro (i5+8GB).
- Rs. 59,999 for Mi Notebook Pro (i5+16GB).
