Xiaomi, a chinese smartphone and smart device maker just announced its first laptop. The Chinese tech giant is holding a press event to unveil its new Redmi Pro smartphone today, but it also dropped a light with the unveiling of the Mi Notebook Air. The name sounds familiar to a device start with ‘A’ right?

Still waiting for full details from the company, but, as ever, it hasn’t wasted time spilling lots of information via its social media channels. The laptop is a 13.3-inch device running Windows with a full-HD display and a full-metal body. There’s a full-sized keyboard with Apple-esque keys that are individually backlit. Under the hood, Xiaomi is promising an Intel Core i5 Processor, with 8GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB PCIe SSD, and an expandable SSD slot. Size-wise, we are talking 306.9 mm x 210.9 mm x 14.8 mm with an apparent weight of 1.28 kg.

The starting price is expected 3599 CNY, or around $540, with a flagship model priced at 4,999CNY, or $750. Don’t hold your breath on an international launch, since many of Xiaomi products — particularly its first forays into new categories — are China-only affairs. What we know so far is it will go on sale in China from August 2.

As is so often the case, Apple is the standard for Xiaomi’s product comparison. The Chinese company said the Mi Notebook Air is thinner (13 percent) than its equivalent Macbook Air, and 11 percent smaller than its rival thanks to a 5.56 mm bezel.
