Bare in mind that if something goes wrong or it's DOA it will cost you well over £100 to return to China. If you decline to return they will offer you a paltry partial refund (I speak from experience). I still use Gearbest / Banggood / Ali Express for small purchases but wouldn't spend over £100 with them now... just my view.

Please could you give us a step by step guide? Or provide a link? thank you!

There's easier ways to do it than this. Also, that will only give a generic license key, the same as all the other mi notebook Air's. Although downloading all the drivers is a good idea.

Is this aluminium or plastic case?

Aluminium.
As far as tax goes, its pot luck, but I would say you are more likely not to pay, but still a good deal if you do.

Has anybody ordered these? I want to but it seem GB mark them at face value in which case it seems certain that you get 20% extra import duty slapped on it. Could anybody clarify?
It will be the Chinese version but it's very easy to replace with the English version. I've done it twice this year. It's only a licensing issue, and as long as you chose the correct version to replace it with, there should be no problem.

I guess everyone's experience is different. I've ordered probably half a dozen times, and everything's turned up in good time and good order.

From what I understand its Chinese Version and cant be changed, you need to re-buy licence.

Ordered headphones, nothing arrived. Raised paypal issue, Gearbest asked if we can close issue as it can still arrive. Nothing arrived Paypal will not open issue again and Gearbest do not aswer emails.

Gearbest are on the of worst companies from China but they seem to be sponsored here all the time.
Lightinthebox have a great customer understanding but you never see them here.
Gearbest always have problems

Got to agree about lightinthebox, their customer service is outstanding, but I've never had a problem with Gearbest.

Make sure it is activated. Use the Microsoft media creation tool to create installation USB stick, and choose Windows 10 single language edition in English. Reinstall and then re-activate.

Terrific price but 2 questions though:
1. Is there VAT and Custom Fees payable on top?
2. This presumably comes with a Chinese version of Windows? Anyone got a link to a cheap UK version?

Yes I read that about it being a chinese version,how do you get around that?

The first comment on your deal mentions kimoval codes not mine so you must have read that here is link to kimovil code its the 58th deal down from 6 days ago https://www.kimovil.com/en/special/dailydeals if you didn't get code from there where did you get it

Oh, there's no use in worrying about it.

That's the risk, but £366 is cheap for an ultraportable (unless you hit by VAT and customs charges, in which case, it's no longer a good deal).

These aren't kimovil codes. Not to mention, I've never heard of kimovil until you commented about it.

These come with Windows in Chinese only. If you want English you'll need to buy an English version.

Just make sure it's activated and then reinstall Windows single language again, but this time in English.
