Here is a very quick look at the internals of the Mi Notebook 13.3″ version. You’ll see the single heat transfer pipe which has to deal with the Core i5 6200U and the Nvidia 940MX, Xiaomi should have at least used twin heat pipes I feel to help transfer more heat. After all, this kind of power in a 14mm slim notebook is asking a lot with only one pipe. Sure it has two fans which is gre...[Read More]
