In its other case, we find the integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics card, which is a notable difference from the previous one.

With it you will be able to play virtually all games, even the latest generation, with medium – high settings.

If we still wanted more in this field, we only have one option right now, and we should gso to a quite different type of laptop.

As far as we know so far, it is not expandable.

6) Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) Notebook Design

This is a field where all Xiaomi laptops, especially those launched more recently (from 2018 onwards), stand out enormously. Let’s be clear: if you go looking, you will find another laptop with similar specifications at a technical level. Now, when you ask these ones:

• • Have a “transportable” weight (living up to its “portable” name).
  • An elegant, slim, professional, minimalist, subtle design (can you tell I like its design? I’ll stop now, sorry!).
  • And that it is constructed of premium materials (all metal).

All this “put together” in the clean and organized way of Xiaomi laptops, you can go quietly at prices ranging from double that of Xiaomi laptops, up to 3-4 times more, being their close cousins the Apple MacBook.

And even so, you will never be able to count on the reliability and confidence that what you have in your hands is a Xiaomi laptop. There is a reason why their smartphones have become number 1 in sales in Spain in less than 1 year since they landed here, right? Well now take that, and apply it to their laptops. That said, let’s get down to business.

With a clean and modern finish, made of pure metal to keep the equipment cool at all times and resistant to bumps, drops and scratches, the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) laptop features a 14″ inch screen (which we’ll talk about in detail in a moment in the next section).

The difference lies in the thin margins of the screen, with an excellent screen-to-space ratio, making the most of the available space and enhancing its appearance.

 

7) Laptop screen Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) US

As we advanced a moment ago, our favorite laptop has a 14″ inch screen, which makes this laptop the most powerful, versatile and flexible of all Xiaomi laptops. Although this time Xiaomi has pulled out all its artillery. For it is not only a high-definition screen, but neither more nor less than a Super Retina display with 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600).

It has a brightness of 300 nits and a contrast ratio of 1000:1, with a refresh rate of 120Hz, adjustable to 90 and 60Hz if desired via the Fn + S keyboard combination. The above resolution translates to 216 PPI with a display ratio of 16:10. In addition, this is an anti-glare Corning Gorilla Glass reinforced display with 178º viewing angle.

Very interesting also are the extremely thin bezels of just 4.3mm. that give a modern and clean look, and maximizes the screen-to-body ratio up to 88%. Now, if your laptop usage allows for a 14″ screen, and you want what has already been dubbed by many as the best screen ever seen on a laptop to date, check out the Mi Notebook Pro 15 (2021).

7.1) Brief comparison of Xiaomi notebook displays

As far as screen size is concerned (and consequently, size of the entire laptop itself), the Redmibook line, has the widest options in this regard.

It ranges from the 16.1″ of the Redmibook 16, to the 13″, through the Xiaomi Redmibook 13, the Xiaomi Redmibook Air 13, the Xiaomi Redmibook 14, the successor of the latter, the Xiaomi Redmibook 14 II, or the new Redmibook 14 Pro and Redmibook 15 Pro, launched in March 2021.

All other Xiaomi laptops, to date, are 15.6″ (Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 15, Xiaomi Mi Gaming, Xiaomi Redmi G, etc.). The most common size on the market, except for the old Xiaomi Mi Air 13 and Xiaomi Mi Air 12.5, or the new Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14, launched in March 2021, which is a great novelty for the famous Mi Notebook Pro, which had always been only 15.6″.

This is a very grateful alternative for all those who move with their Xiaomi laptops. Because the 14″ option really makes a difference and makes it a tremendously comfortable to carry and lightweight laptop.
