An ultra-lightweight laptop from Xiaomi!

The biggest highlight will be the 13.3-inch 2.8K E4 OLED touchscreen. It also supports Dolby Vision, VESA DisplayHDR 500 Certified, 100 percent DCI-P3 wide color gamut, 600 nits max brightness, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and anti-fingerprint coating. The display also rotates up to 360 degrees for a tablet-like experience.

Super slim body!

Apart from that display, it also has a 12mm ultra-thin all-metal body carved using CNC-integrated carving technology and weighs 1.2Kg only.

The rest are 10nm Intel 12th Gen Core U series processors which comprise either an i5-1230U or i7-1250U variant. Both of them have Intel Iris Xe HD integrated graphics and is paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5 dual channel RAM and 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

Xiaomi Book Air 13 is also powered by a 58.3WHr rated capacity and charges using a 65W power adapter.

Apparently, there's no mention of a webcam. However other features are a full-size four-step backlight keyboard with 1.3mm key travel, a fingerprint sensor embedded on the power button, and a glass trackpad. Xiaomi also says they used a bigger VC heat sink to keep the temperatures in check.

Connectivity features are WiFi 6E (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.2, 2 x 2 MIMO, 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

The software side runs Windows 11 Home out of the box.

Xiaomi Book Air 13 Core i5 - CNY 5,999 (around PHP 48K)
