Finally, Xiaomi has entered the world of gaming in the laptop category, this will put them head to head with the likes of Asus ROG gaming laptops. The original intention of Xiaomi is to make you enjoy the world of gaming, and to be more focused and creative beyond the game itself. To this date, Xiaomi has invited industry experts from various fields to redesign the system of the gaming laptop from cooling to keyboard to screens and of course the sounds. After 2 long years, the time has come for Xiaomi to unlease the Mi Gaming Laptop.


This is the 3rd series of laptop that Xiaomi has released, it was the Mi Notebook Air, then the Mi Notebook Pro, now they kick things up a bit and launched the Mi Gaming Notebook.

Verdict:


This laptop is so awesome, we have yet to test the gaming statistics, but till now we have no much time to put this machine to the test as Xiaomi has been releasing phones after phones which is quite hard to catch up. We have tested the Mi Gaming Headphones on this machine and all I can say is Wow! Basic task like MS Office and browsing was a breeze and overall typing experience I give it a 9/10. The trackpad is very spaceous and I love it, the 4 USB 3.0 ports are very generous as well. I got the Core i5 with GTX 1060 and for me this is good enough already for me, for heavy gamers the Core i7 is definitely recommended.
