It's impossible to NOT buy anything from China. You'll be surprised how much you rely on Chinese imports.:wink:

Need to be careful and be sure that have understood the wording, in relation to the OS supplied. Comes with Windows 10 Home Chinese. Can convert the language to English, but the software will not have a valid activation code.

I have had one for about 6 months and I cannot fault it for general usage. I haven't strained it too much but for email, Office, internet browsing and tasks of that sort, it's superb. At the time, I paid £490 and traded in my iPad Air 2 to cover the cost. Regarding the Core M in this thing, don't worry about slow performance because it is superb and very good with battery life.
I went back and forth between this and SP4 Core M version and settled on this because it offered more for the money. Only sticking point would be the Chinese Windows, I put up the extra cash and installed fresh Windows on it to solve that. If you don't want the extra work, get the SP4 Core M.

I have been looking at this.. Good solid reviews and the build quality is apparently very good. worth noting the customs charges though and if anything goes wrong I would imagine the warranty would be worthless.

I have been buying Xiaomi products for 2 years and if I'm honest I don't imagine me jumping ship soon all their phones and little gadgets are very cheap and excellent quality! Can't say much about the laptops but I will be purchasing one soon

Whats the weight? and is it upgradeable at all ? (I doubt it)
Looks like an ripoff of the Asus Tai Chi ?

I'm sure you can add another ssd but as for anything else I doubt it can be upgraded

1.07kg and it looks like the only thing you can do is to add an extra SDD.
Good spec, but quite hesitant to get it from China.. You can probably get a similar spec from the Dell Outlet, at least support / returns would be easier.
Not knocking Xiaomi quality though, they're pretty darn good!
