Lenovo Air 13 Pro will challenge Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air

Xiaomi had introduced Mi Notebook Air on Wednesday itself and it grabbed a lot of headlines due to its price and specifications. Now as expected, other laptop manufacturers were not going to be left behind. And now Lenovo has announced its Air 13 Pro laptop. The specifications of this laptop are almost the same as Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air.

Lenovo's Air 13 laptop has a 13.3 inch IPS display and Intel i5-6200U processor. The laptop weighs 1.29 kg while the Mi Notebook Air is heavier at 1.28 kg. This laptop has 256 GB SSD storage and 4 GB RAM. Lenovo's laptop is 1.48 cm thin and has a 2 GB Nvidia GT940MX graphics card.

The fingerprint recognition given in Lenovo's laptop differentiates it from Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air. Fingerprint recognition is a useful feature and its absence in the Mi Notebook Air may have worked to Lenovo's advantage.

Lenovo Air 13 Pro is available for pre-registration and is currently priced at CNY 4,999 (approximately Rs 51,400). Let us tell you that the 13.3 inch variant of Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air has also been introduced with the same price. However, there is news that Lenovo's laptop will be sold for 5,499 Chinese Yuan (about Rs 55,400) after the pre-sale period ends.

Even though fingerprint recognition feature is not provided in Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air, this laptop can be unlocked through Mi Band 2 which is enabled by Bluetooth 4.1 version connectivity of the laptop. Talking about competition, both these laptops have very good features as per their price.
