Finally, let’s talk about the battery and charging details. Xiaomi promises up to 12-hours of battery backup on a single charge with the 70Wh battery pack here. The Mi Notebook Ultra supports 65W fast-charging via the USB-C port onboard. The laptop runs Windows 10 out-of-the-box and will get a free upgrade to Windows 11 when it releases in October later this year.
Apart from all this, Mi Notebook Ultra has a fingerprint sensor embedded into the power button, 2 x 2W stereo speakers, and a backlit keyboard. Yeah, unlike the Redmibook’s, Xiaomi offers a 3-level backlit keyboard with a 1.5mm key travel on the Mi Notebooks.
Mi Notebook Pro: Specifications
There are only minor differences between the Mi Notebook Pro and Ultra models. The Pro variant is slightly thinner at 17.3mm and lighter (1.4kg) than its Ultra sibling.
