Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro (i7-8550U) Laptop Review

The Chinese original. Xiaomi notebooks are still considered a rarity in Europe and have to be imported from Asia. Not having the opportunity of looking at the device beforehand at your trusted local store, plus the additional effort of making warranty...

fancy design ; two M.2 slots, SSD can be upgraded by users ; good input devices ; high-contrast and bright display ; stable throttling behavior ; mainly silent when using office applications ; good speakers

i7 slower than our i5 test model in some multi-core CPU tests ; surfaces less resistant to effects of aging ; slow SD card reader ; no Thunderbolt ; Type-C ports only on the right, Type-A only on the left ; the two Type-C ports are not equivalent

After testing, the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro i7-8550U leaves us with mixed impressions. After the surprise of the Cinebench R15 Multi 64 Bit loop with results below those of the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro i5-8250U, we were not sure what to expect from this...

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro i5 Laptop Review

Who invented it? To recognize similarities to the Apple design language in other manufacturers has become a tradition nowadays. The inhibition threshold for this is particularly low in the Chinese brands. With the Mi Notebook Pro, Xiaomi follows...

appealing design ; high-quality impression ; two M.2 slots; SSD upgrade possible ; decent input devices ; reliable fingerprint-reader ; bright high-contrast display ; mostly noiseless in low-load office scenarios ; decent speakers ; decent battery life

surfaces not very resistant to wear and tear ; slow SD card-reader ; Type-C ports only on the right-hand side; Type-A only on the left-hand side ; only 2 PCIe-lanes per M.2 slot ; only available with QWERTY keyboard layout ; CPU and GPU performance...

According to our measurements, Xiaomi did many things right in the Mi Pro notebook. The device would really deserve a recommendation, but because of the unclear situation in case of a defect for example, we do not want to give this. However, things...

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro review: Great value, but localisation required

The new 15.6-inch Mi Notebook Pro heads up Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi's Apple-aping range of laptops: the Mi Notebook Air , which comes in 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch models, is pitched against the MacBook and MacBook Pro 13, while the Mi Notebook Pro has...

High-quality design and build ; Affordable price ; Easy to install a second SSD ; Excellent speakers ; Discrete GPU ; Good battery life ; Fine backlit keyboard and touchpad ; Plays nice with Linux

Ships with Chinese Windows 10 Home ; You need to buy it from China ; Fans are somewhat noisy under load

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro review

If Apple designed a Windows laptop, this is what it might look like

Exceptional performance ; Great value for money ; Stunning design ; Great battery life

US keyboard ; Chinese Windows installation ; No touchscreen display ; Noisy under load

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.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro review

Xiaomi's top-end laptop has some seriously good looks and decent performance, but is it a wise buying choice? We check out the Mi Notebook Pro in our review.

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...
