Mi tebook Air has long been regarded as Xiaomi's take on Apple's MacBook Air - only, it is much more aggressively priced in comparison. w, even Redmi has joined bandwagon giving buyers yet ar option to pick from – especially in China. Xiaomi is yet to launch any of its laptops in India –  RedmiBook is also exclusive to China and it is yet to be seen if Xiaomi ever brings it to more markets including in India in days to come. In China,  RedmiBook 13 will be available for buying from December 12.
