The much-awaited Mi Notebook 14 Horizon edition has finally launched in India at Rs. 54999. It has been listed on officially mi.com but soon it will be available on e-commerce websites like Flipkart and Amazon.

But only on the basis of processor, it is not worth saying that it is the best productive laptop out there in the market. Xiaomi compromised several things at some notes.

Though it comes with the 10th Gen Intel Core i5/i7 CPU inside but it fails to deliver that level of performance as it suppose to do. If you are a college-going student who is looking for a thin and light-weighted laptop with the latest processor and some moderate gaming, then you can go for it. But if you are a professional content creator and do a lot of rendering and video editing tasks then it will not meet up to your expectations, you can get another laptop with some really good specifications at this price point.
