| Leaked Images of MI Laptop. |
The Internet is an extremely interesting place, so much so that there is always more than enough room to have both rumors and facts lie around. Having said that, one of the latest rumors to make its rounds would be that of Chinese device manufacturer Xiaomi making a reach beyond that of smartphones – basically, we are looking at a possible laptop from the folks over at Xiaomi themselves. A laptop is a very different creature from that of a smartphone, this is for sure, so assuming that this particular rumor would turn out to be true, it would be interesting to see the execution part of it.
New rumors have now surfaced, stating that Xiaomi may be expanding into the PC market with its first ever laptop. Speculations about such a move have been circulating for the past few months but it is only now that we are seeing some more-convincing evidence in the form of photos and possible specs. The leaked shots show a device, visually similar to the Apple Macbook Air line.
The computer bears much the same shape and bezel design, down to the edges as well as the color scheme. There are however some apparent differences. The “Mi” logo is clearly visible below the screen, as well as on the back, which appears to have a sandstone finish in contrast to Apple’s signature aluminum, but the photo in question could be of the back of any other device. An orange function button also helps the Mi laptop stand out and instills a lot of brand identity.
The image that you see above surely looks as though it is a good candidate for a Photoshop job, especially when you see how the Xiaomi logo looks as though it has been tacked on just like that. Word on the street has it that this alleged Xiaomi laptop will arrive with a 15” display at 1920 x 1080 pixels, running on an Intel Core i7 Haswell processor, accompanied by 16GB RAM, and carries a sticker price that will not be more than $500 after conversion. Sounds as though it is shaping up to be a bargain, don’t you think so?
