Xiaomi Mi NoteBook Pro

The Mi NoteBook Pro makes a good impression on paper and at first sight. However, Xiaomi's inability to make the most of the Core i7-11370H puts the Mi NoteBook Pro at a disadvantage compared to its rivals."

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro is a gorgeous laptop with decent performance, a large screen and an attractive price tag. However, it is a real headache to set up out of the box, and something we would never recommend for novice users. We’d also prefer to use a higher-resolution screen on a laptop of this size, and the US keyboard is a drawback. Once set up you’ll quickly fall in love with the Xiaomi, but paying just a little bit more for a comparable UK model may well be an easier solution.

The Mi Notebook Pro is a great laptop – an astounding piece of tech, in fact. It uses cutting-edge components and can be had for far less than rival machines. Some fundamental issues remain, though.
