Apple’s release of the Mac Book Air back in 2008 was the new beginning of a competitive race to build the world’s thinnest laptop, without the loss of speed and performance. It didn’t take long for companies, including Dell, Asus, Micrososft, Samsung, and Acer to bring their their ideas for a thin notebook to the market.

The XPS 13, one of Dell’s latest and best-performing laptops designed to compete with the Mac Book Air.

It didn’t take China long either to develop a product of their own that’s slim and well performing. The Chinese tech company Xiaomi, known for their wide range of products ranging from water filters to phones to laptops just released their new ultrabook: the Mi Notebook Air.

Most new ultrabooks are designed to be light, slim, and be used for work and school, however the Mi Notebook Air has a new feature you wouldn’t expect in a notebook meant to be easily transportable and productive.

The 13.3 inch notebook comes equipped with a nVidia GeForce 940MX chip, which allows for games & videos to perform up to four times faster than Intel onboard graphics. While many laptops use this feature to attract more customers, this makes the Mi Notebook Air stand out as its the first slim ultrabook ever to offer a dedicated graphics GPU.
