Chinese technology conglomerate Xiaomi, which has forayed into several new
categories including health, sports, and lifestyle gear in recent months, may soon
try its hands on laptops too. A new report claims some interesting information
about the company's first laptop and notes that it will offer as good a
"price-performance" ratio as the company's smartphones.
Last month, Inventec, one of Xiaomi's hardware partners, said that
Xiaomi's first laptop could be expected in the first or second half of 2016.
Now a new report further cements those claims. DigiTimes, citing its
supply chain sources, is reporting that Xiaomi's first laptop will come in two
models - 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch - and enter mass production in the first
quarter of 2016, which is in line with last month's report.
The report further added that the company has placed orders for about
250,000 units for the 12.5-inch model, and 500,000 units for the 13.3-inch
model. Inventec is said to be tasked to produce the 12.5-inch model units,
while Compal Electronics will manufacture the 13.3-inch model.
The report also noted that Xiaomi has plans to ship the laptop in a bundle
package with a smartphone, a move that will promote both the product
lineups. The company is also trying to poach Lenovo executives to quickly
mark its dominance in the laptop lineup, DigiTimes reported.
Rumours of a Xiaomi notebook has been in the wild for a long time.
In September, Bloomberg citing its sources, had also noted that the
company has plans to launch the notebook in the first quarter of 2016.
