Hi I show that chinese comany Xiaomi are making laoptop/notbook
here the link
http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/xiaomi-mi-notebook-air/
Intel Core i5-6200U, up to 2.7GHz
8GB RAM, 256GB SSD
13.3-inch, full-HD (1,920x1,080-pixels)
309 by 210.9 by 14.8 mm; 1.28 kg (2.82 pounds)
Type-C USB for charging, 2x USB 3.0, 1x HDMI, 3.5mm audio port
40Wh battery, 9.5 hours
I believe it has quick charge as well so the battery quickly charge up.
This laptop in the uk is costing £485.00 with free postage and packing and I am wondering what do you think of this notebook do you think for £485.00 is good value or do you think I should save more and buy another laptop?

Sounds too good to be true.

External GPU and still 9 hours batt life? I bet that 9 means at idle.

GPU if it has any umph, will run hot, hope you don't mind a little heat and (fan to cool it) noise.

At least the review mentioned flex, first thing that popped into my head when I read Chinese and thin. Personally I can't deal with that unless this thing is gonna be desk bound all day.
Do you think for the price £485.00 do you think I should buy this?
I am thinking of buying it as its thin got 9 hour battery and 940MX for light encoding like for YouTube video. Is their anything better for the same price rage?
