It was quite awkward—disappointed by Aunt's 5000-300 coupon. At 1:30 AM on January 1st, 2018, I bought a Mi Notebook Pro 15.6-inch thin and light metal laptop and a gift bag worth 149 yuan from Suning Tesco for 5,369 yuan. The next day, Zhang Dama sent me a voucher of 5000-300, making the price 5,099 yuan, which was still cheaper than JD.com’s 5,399 yuan.
Although it hasn’t been shipped yet, I have no intention of returning it. After all, I already have a computer bag. It was a lesson learned—paying should be as slow as possible. As a senior competitor, this was also a pitfall.

### **Reasons for Purchase**
I actually have two desktop computers in my office. I've been using them for years without moving my PC. In 2005, I bought a Samsung X05, which lasted for 12 years. Earlier this year, I sold it for 180 yuan at a fish market.
**Demand:** This time, my wife felt she needed a laptop for occasional business trips.
**Size:** I suggested a 13.3-inch lightweight model, but after checking different brands (all around 1.3kg), she found the 13.3-inch screen too small and uncomfortable for her eyes. So we went with the 15.6-inch version.
**Brand Choice:** I spent half an hour in the store comparing options. I felt that Huawei and Xiaomi looked good. Personally, I prefer Xiaomi, as they entered the notebook market a year earlier than Huawei.
**Configuration:** I don’t play games, and even watching videos is rare. I mainly do document processing. An i7 would be overkill; an i5 is enough. Since the 8th generation was just released, I chose the 8th gen i5. For storage, 256GB SSD is sufficient for documents. Plus, it’s said that the Mi Notebook Pro’s SSD has some special benefits.
**Bonus Feature:** Pre-installed genuine Office 2016.
**Purchase Channel:** Priced at 5,399 yuan, Suning included a computer bag. (At the time, I didn’t know about the aunt’s coupons.)

After placing the order, the delivery was still a bit uncomfortable. The items were received on the 3rd, but the price wasn’t really advantageous. I ended up buying from JD later. The package arrived early on the 3rd, but it took a long route through Ningbo, with many twists and turns. Fortunately, it rained, but the plastic bag outside kept everything dry!
Plastic bags, bonus, no damage in the rain.

### **Appearance & Unboxing**
Happy to see the inside!
What I needed was genuine Office.
Inside bubble paper, fixed in place, not afraid of road bumps.
Taking it out, there is a bit of weight, it doesn’t feel too thin. The overall package is simple and nothing superfluous.
There are MI logos on the side, and it's a Mi laptop.
The back corner has a simple configuration and instructions.
The body has a transparent plastic protection.
Below is an instruction box, charger, and data cable.
There is also a thin sponge inside the box to protect the body.
Family portrait, three things. Power supply 65W, output voltage 5V-3A, 9V-3A, 12V-3A, 15V-3A, 20V-3.25A, can charge the notebook, also supports mobile phone QC3.0 charging. Great!
A surface dark gray, no logo, very deep, very cold winter ~ ~ feels really so, no way there is no heating in the house like the north.

### **Show Details**
One-handed opening and closing, highlights. Inside a protective sheet of paper.
The whole size is 360.7×243.6×15.9mm, weight is 1.95Kg.
In the lower right corner of the Intel 8th generation CPU sticker, I5-8250U, the price and the seventh generation of i7 is almost the same, this performance can be described as killing chicken with a knife.
The LOGO is in this place and it is relatively low-key. The axis of rotation is located below the LOGO. An entire metal shaft is sufficient to ensure stability during rotation.
Maximum opening degree 140°
The design of the MI Pro cover slot is concave and easy to open and close.
The touchpad is relatively large. In the upper right corner of the touchpad is a fingerprint recognition sensor. At the time of turning on and locking the screen, fingerprint identification can save annoying password input steps. Actual measurement: There is basically no situation that cannot be identified.
On the right side of the MI Pro, two Type-C interfaces and an SD card reader are designed. The reader is fully functional and is capable of satisfying various functions such as charging/data transmission/video output. The 13.3-inch MI is without an SD card reader.
The left side of the MI Pro is two USB 3.0 ports and one HDMI. There is also an important 3.5mm headphone jack.
With dual fan symmetrical cooling, heat dissipation should be good. The speaker opening is also on the back.
The back is also relatively simple.
MI Pro is a fully-alloyed metal body with good rigidity and light weight while maintaining firmness. Thickness is similar to my logic keyboard.
Backlit keyboard without numeric keypad. Turn off the lights after the dazzle.

### **Experience Feelings**
#### **1. Configuration**
Bring your own OFFICE.
#### **2. Boot Use**
**Screen:**
The Xiaomi Notebook Pro uses a BOE 15.6-inch WLED panel with a resolution of 1920×1080, a maximum brightness of 300 cd/m², and a nominal color gamut of 72% NTSC. Starscream measured a color gamut of 95% sRGB. X-Rite i1 and DisplayCAL measured a maximum brightness of 306 cd/m² and a gamut volume of 92.5% sRGB. However, the Xiaomi Notebook Pro falls within the standard sRGB color gamut, which means that the color gamut coverage is only 79.1% sRGB. From the color gamut comparison chart, the gamut of this screen has shifted toward the yellow-green zone. Previously, the Xiaomi Notebook 13 was known for Sharp and LG. Sharp covers 86.9% and volume is 90.9%; LG covers 92.3% and its volume is 98.8%. In addition, calibrated color indicators are also better than the Xiaomi Notebook Pro.
The three generations of Corning Gorilla Glass are fully covered and the sides are fine, giving a very good look.
**Keyboard:**
Thanks to the 15.6-inch size, plus the lack of a keypad, keystrokes are sufficient. 1.5mm key, feel good. The backlight is also good, very elegant colors, not too exaggerated, after all, it's not a game.
**Touchpad and Fingerprint Sensor:**
The board is large, the function is like this, it is more convenient to use, and it can be used when there is no mouse. Fingerprint sensor, easy to set up, sensitive to identification, very satisfied.
**Battery Life:**
Local 720P video can be broadcast for about 8 hours. The brightness is normal, and the sound is worn in headphones. The fever is not serious, because my family is cold in winter, so I feel nothing.
**Practical Performance:**
The childbirth, game, and 4K were not tested. I tested the boot speed and benefited from SSD. It was quite satisfactory.
There are less than 200G left in the space. Some people in the game have tested this SSD performance is quite good, I will not repeat here. Anyway, read and write speeds are fast and stable.

### **To Sum Up**
For small white users, it is very simple to bury and use, not so many routines, it is worth recommending.
**Advantages:**
1. All sides are very textured metal! Feel good. Product Industrial Design is OK.
2. 15.6 inches large screen, full fit technology, thin frame, praise.
3. Endurance is acceptable.
4. Price! This price is cost-effective.
**Disadvantages:**
1. Color value is OK, lack of discrimination.
2. Independent graphics, playing games can also be, but really want to play the game 256 is not enough, have to add their own hard drive, tasteless for me.
Finally, take the bag sent by Suning.
Also comes with a mouse pad and HDMI to VGA TYPE-C converter.
