Mi Notebook 14 e-Learning Edition: Affordable yet powerful

New Delhi: Xiaomi is aiming big to create market space in the laptop segment in India. Keeping this in mind, the company earlier brought Mi Notebook 14 and Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition in India and now, it has launched a cheaper variant of the Mi Notebook 14 titled ‘Mi Notebook 14 e-Learning Edition.
The name itself suggests that the device is meant for schools and millions of children who are taking classes online owing to the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.  Priced at Rs 34,999, the laptop is offered in a single 8GB+256GB storage configuration in silver colour option. In comparison, pricing for the regular Mi Notebook 14 starts at Rs 41,999.
This device is at least Rs 10,000-Rs 15,000 cheaper than the other popular models in the market, with the same set of specifications in the fragmented laptop market in the country.
Let us see what the notebook has to offer.
In terms of design, the laptop scores decent marks thanks to an all-metal body with an anodised sandblasted coating. The laptop does not carry any branding on its face; the only Mi branding one would see is below the display.
Weighing just 1.5 kg, the notebook looks appealing in a thin and light body while delivering top-notch performance. It is much lighter and more compact than most laptops in this price range.
