Buying a Xiaomi laptop in 2021: guide, tips and all models
Talking about Xiaomi is not only talking about mobile phones and small devices, this giant manufactures all kinds of equipment, including laptops. We have selected some of the best that are for sale right now.
Although Xiaomi came to our country years ago, it has not yet made a name for itself in some of the areas it works and there are products that remain exclusive in the Asian market. We are talking, for example, of some of the Xiaomi laptops that have not officially arrived in Spain, but many are beginning to be on sale.
The Mi Laptop Air 13.3 arrived in Spain a long time ago and, as we will see, other models can be purchased through AliExpress. This compromise strategy by the company was taken when it was appreciated that bringing all Xiaomi computers to Spain at once could be counterproductive, and that is that the brand image is not yet so solid as to attack a market such as that of computing.
The reality is that there are some Xiaomi gaming and professional laptops that look very good and are quite competitively priced. They are models that are blatantly going for a rival: Apple’s MacBook, undoubtedly the team to beat in recent years.
Xiaomi is a brand known for having many products and at a great price. These are 14 of which you can buy in Spain for less than € 20.
To put ourselves in this PC gibberish, we have put together a guide with all or almost all of the available ones. Keep in mind that sometimes they are mere hardware variations of existing models, with a different processor, size or storage capacity.
In addition, if there is one, we also share the purchase link in case you are interested in getting one of them.
