• • To have a sensible, “portable” size
  • An elegant, thin, professional, minimalist and subtle design
  • And made entirely of premium materials (100% metal)

And even then, you’ll never get to rely on the reliability and confidence that Xiaomi laptops provide.

That said, let’s get down to business.

One of the highlights of the Book Air 13 laptop, and of all the latest generation of Xiaomi laptops, is its incredible battery. With a large 58.3Wh battery that can last up to 12 HOURS and 20 minutes, yes, you read it right. According to Xiaomi, this is exactly what it says: local video playback for 12 hours.

And if that wasn’t enough, it features two Thunderbolt 4 type 1C (or USB-C) ultra-fast charging ports.

This will allow you to charge your Xiaomi laptop to 50% in just 48 minutes.

To finish off your perfect kit for the Xiaomi Book Air 13 (2022) laptop, the following accessories could not be missing:

• • Mouse: Do you need one? Yes, maybe you already have one at home? Yes, but… Is it as cool as the new Xiaomi Mi Dual Mode Wireless Mouse (Silent Edition)? Surely not, and it certainly doesn’t have all its features either, so forget about crappy (or broken, I’m accumulating them…) mice and complete the kit to match the equipment you’re getting.
  • Case: I won’t repeat myself, but yes, you need one, and a real one, not just because it’s “cool”. You’ll see how funny it will be when you drop your laptop and you’ll charge it. And it fits exactly the size of the Xiaomi Book Air 13 (2022).
  • Laptop stand: this is my favourite, because yes, it’s there for more than just making you look more professional. It saves you from endless neck and back pain. Since the day I bought one out of curiosity, I’ve never been able to work without it again. 100% useful and necessary, and totally portable, look at the pictures and you’ll see!
  • Multicompartment briefcase: if you usually take your laptop to work, or you carry other documents, charger and so on with you, the most comfortable is a briefcase like this one. Padded and reinforced, and with an adjustable strap to fit the size of the computer, it can protect laptops from 12″ to 17″.
