The battery measures about 58.3 mm in size and offers up to 12.3 hours of battery life before needing to recharge. The company's new notebook can link to Mijia intelligent devices in the home, and the company feels that this communication with other devices will enhance the experience.

A fingerprint sensor is on the side for heightened security in logging into the notebook. You can purchase the new XIAOMI Book Air 13 notebook from their website for under $900.
