This is how Xiaomi’s first laptop with backlit keyboard will look like – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Smartphone maker Xiaomi is all set to launch its latest laptop in India. The company has teased the India launch of the new Mi Notebook model with a backlit keyboard. Xiaomi entered the PC market in India last year with the launch of Mi Notebook 14 and Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition. Since last year, the company has launched multiple laptops in the country but none of them comes with a backlit keyboard.
Raghu Reddy, Xiaomi India’s chief business officer, has teased the launch of the new Mi Notebook model. Reddy tweeted an image of a laptop with a backlit keyboard. He also posted a caption along with the image which reads, “Now that’s an upgrade I have been waiting for…”

The company has not yet offered any other details about the specifications of the laptop.
Apart from this, Mi India’s PC marketing head Karthik Murugeshan Subramani also posted an image of the yet to launch laptop. The image posted by Karthik suggests that the new Mi Notebook will come with a metallic body design. If this is true then, this will also be the first Xiaomi laptop to sport a metallic body design.

Karthik tweeted, “So excited for this @RaghuReddy505 and @manukumarjain … have to say, getting early access to game changing devices is by far the favorite part of my job!”
Meanwhile, a recent report by research firm Canalys revealed that the surge in PC demand continued through the second quarter of 2021 (2Q21) despite global component shortages and logistics issues. The report reveals that PC shipments in 2020 grew by 11 per cent and reached 297 million units.
