The official Xiaomi Mi Air with Windows 10 announcement came as a big surprise to everyone, including Xiaomi fans and most of all, Apple. Not even bothering with formalities and shrugging off all lawsuits, Mi went with Apple’s branding “Air”.
Xiaomi has decided to release two super slim notebooks at once, an Mi Air 12.5″ and an Mi Air 13.3″.
What’s the difference between Mi Air 12.5 vs Mi Air 13.3?
