    As far as I know Xiaomi only released new version with 7th Gen. Intel core-M processor and an optional SSD upgrade for more storage. 8GB doesn’t seem to be made, so why are these guys taking pre-orders for that? 🙂

    Yeahh Gearbest’s prices are outrageous for the higher specs.

    But are these higher spec devices even made by Xiaomi? I didn’t find any official announcement about this. And how trustworthy is this trading shenzen.com? And what do you think about that Intel ® Core â„¢ i5 processor / 7Y54 and the heat in the smaller case of the 12.5″ without active cooling? Should be better without that dedicated GPU, right? 🙂

    I saw it on GB, but that price is ridiculous! I’ve been asked to review it but not sure. Just a chipset upgrade and seems they haven’t really announced it officially yet, have they? Nothing on Xiaomi’s Weibo.

    Hi Chris

     

    I have checked Xiaomi’s official mainland China site and it’s announced there! So it is official 🙂 But none of the sellers are carrying it yet, besides the one shared by Filn at a €100 more expensive than Xiaomi’s official price. Gearbest’s price is ridiculous indeed 😀 I’m contacting some Aliexpress sellers right now to ask when it would be available and at what price. Fanless and GPU less with 8GB RAM and more storage is what I need ^^

    Okay, so it’s legit, thanks for the info. Still not sure I’ll get one, I really like my Mi Notebook Air 12.  But unless BG, GB or one of the retailers can give me a big nice coupon for reviewing it. I’ll not upgrade.
