Sales of Xiaomi Mi Notebook 12.4 have started in China – for a device running Windows 11 they ask for only $ 425. As you can see from the name, Xiaomi refers to the product as a laptop, but in fact it is still a tablet with a dockable keyboard.

That is why the device turned out to be very compact: the weight is 685 grams. Mi Notebook 12.4 is made in a magnesium and aluminum alloy case, the hardware platform is based on the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2.

The amount of RAM LPDDR4-2133 MHz is 8 GB, the storage capacity is 256 GB. There is also a microSD card slot up to 1TB. The battery capacity was 38.08 Wh, the declared autonomy was up to 13.4 hours.

Mi Notebook 12.4 received an IPS screen with a diagonal of 12.4 inches, respectively, with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a maximum brightness of 500 cd / sq.m., 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage and protection in the form of tempered glass Gorilla Glass.

Asus has unveiled a new model of its Windows tablet called the Vivobook 13 Slate OLED (T3304). The company itself calls the device a laptop, but that’s just the way it is now.

As the name implies, the novelty is equipped with a 13-inch OLED screen, which distinguishes the device from other similar solutions on the market. The screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels. Of course, it is touch, but it also supports the work with the stylus.

In general, the new model differs little from the old one, but the platform has changed. It is based on the latest CPUs Intel Core i3-N300 or Processor N200. Curiously, Asus is calling the second Pentium N200 even though Intel dropped the Pentium and Celeron brands this generation.

The PC is also equipped with 4 or 8 GB of RAM, UFS 2.1 flash memory of 128 or 256 GB or SSD up to 512 GB, depending on the version. There are Wi-Fi 6 adapters, Bluetooth 5.2, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a microSD slot, four speakers and a 50Wh battery with support for 65W charging. Dimensions are 310 x 190 x 8.95 mm with a weight of 800 g. Together with the connected keyboard, the PC already weighs 1.3 kg.

Of the rest, protection according to the MIL-STD-810G standard can be noted.

There is no price data yet, but the first model once started at $600.

As early as next week, official sales of laptops with Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 3D accelerators will start. Pre-orders are now open for many models and prices have been announced. Among others, the Asus ROG Strix SCAR 16 2023 stands out for its price.

We can say that Asus made a unique price offer with this model, because for the ROG Strix SCAR 16 2023 in the top configuration (with a 24-core Core i9-13980HX processor, GeForce RTX 4090, 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD) they ask only 3245 dollars.

For comparison, Gigabyte for Aorus 17X with GeForce RTX 4090 is asking almost $4,000. At the same time, the Gigabyte laptop received a simpler processor – the Core i9-13900HX.
