Not many can beat Apple when it comes to design and aesthetics. However, there are still some Windows alternatives that give you the power of Windows with the sleek looks of Apple. Xiaomi's Mi Notebook Pro and Notebook Air have been making some waves in the industry. While some have said the company is blatantly copying the Cupertino tech giant, others are happy to get an amazing build and an awesome operating system for less than 50% cost of an Apple laptop.
Not ashamed of copying the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, the Mi Notebook couples an incredible form factor with incredible power. Remember, the product is thinner than the Macbook Air itself and packs an 8th Generation Kaby Lake - R quad core processor and the GeForce MX150 Pascal 2GB graphics card.
