The notebook is meant to be part of the Mi Ecosystem and will likely be targeted at the same young professional Xiaomi fans in China that they also target with their rice cooker, TVs and other products, Ma said.

The announcement of the laptops came at an event where Xiaomi also rolled out a new smartphone, the Redmi Pro, a dual rear camera OLED phone.
