Thin and light like me: MI millet Air12.5 notebook simple use evaluation

In the twinkling of an eyeball season, this Mi notebook Air 12.5 has been used for nearly a month. It is basically used every day, and it has also gone with me many times. This time to bring everyone to use the article Air12.5 millet notes, one to use for the last two months to make a summary of the second, and hope to join you in the value and not worth to find their own answers.

As MiBoy, Xiaomi has been waiting for the notebook computer for a long time, and believe in bonuses to participate in the conference. He hopes that Xiaomi's involvement will change the current status of the “low-end slag at work, high-end pricing and resistance” in the notebook industry.


It is said that this picture has a healing effect and can reveal three major philosophical issues.


Look at the picture, folder

Millet released two Air: 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch. The former is more portable, and the latter is slightly more portable on a portable basis. The protagonist of this article is the 12.5-inch version. The baby uses a sixth-generation M3 processor, 4GB DDR4 memory, 128GB SSD, and a single unit weighs only 1.07KG without a fan (no vibration, too quiet!) . Obviously, this is a baby who pays no attention to performance and is extremely portable.

Outside the box

The book's box uses a "double-slave structure", which is a package of "express boxes" outside the commonly used outer packaging products, and the boxes are relatively small. The following is the inner box display.

There is a thick taste of macbook packaging, but also the taste of millet phone packaging. There is a sticker seal at the junction (it has been revealed that this section is pseudo out of the box).

Open the top cover and display the side A of the notebook. The notebook covers the entire box frame. The top cover is covered with a cushioning black sponge.


Many accessories are simple: only the documentation and power adapter. (What? Is there a mouse? No! What about computer bags? No!)


The adapter is white and the USB Type-C interface is powered (you can charge the phone with the same interface). The power cord is white, but it's a lot rougher than the macbook series (the macbook's power cord has been crippled by two...). The adapter is also very lightweight overall, consistent with the style of books.


Overall display

Clean A side. No LOGO design can not only reduce costs, do you like or want to Tucao? The overall consistency is very good, but it also fits minimalist style. Everyone can, according to their own preferences, go to the House of Millet to engrave a laser pattern for free.


The B-side adopts a fully-fitted glass panel, which can be seen with a narrow border (see details below).


The C surface keyboard is the same color as the aluminum alloy material, and the consistency is very good, but the disadvantage is that the keyboard visual effect is not prominent (compared to the macbook's black keyboard), and the color is similar to Microsoft's surfacebook, but the shape and layout are more like a macbook. The basic collection of macbook and surfacebook features. The touchpad is a glass panel like the macbook pro. It feels very good and is very sensitive. It feels like a super plastic panel.


The backlit keyboard is really displayed at night. The brightness of the backlight is not adjusted in multiple steps. Only two states, on and off, are available.


D surface is also made of aluminum alloy material, and there are all kinds of speaker suppliers, Dolby sound, and win10 operating system information OEM (yes, can be removed). Below is MIlogo. The serial number is a sticker (the same can be removed). The base plate has five relatively thick rubber gaskets. The lower part of the left and right sides are not fan holes (after all, it is a fanless design), it is a horn hole.

The interface of the machine is extremely "simple", only USB 3.01, USB Type-C1, HDMI1, headset jack2. There is no cable interface which can not escape (after all, books are extremely portable), only one standard USB hole can really promote the sales of Bluetooth mouse , HDMI interface is mainly used to connect the monitor.

More to say: from a multi-angle display can be seen, MiBook still has a certain fortitude appearance, unlike the macbook shell-type softness. The overall body touch is also close to the macbook and surfacebook, which are both aluminum alloy bodies. The keyboard has a short keystroke, and the feel is in the upper gear level in the same position.


Screen description

For Ahsay, choosing a computer in addition to configuration enough, the most important thing is the performance of the screen, the screen is also the most important component of interaction with people. I will not pursue the latest, highest configuration, will not pursue the brand's pedigree, but the screen performance will not pass iron.

Extremely narrow border. It's very similar to the dell xps series: the border is very small, the bar is not thin, better than dell is the camera is not in the chin. This machine is 12.5 inches, the actual frame of the ultra-narrow, the result is a very small overall size (similar to a 14-inch xps machine size, such as 13-inch notebook).

Screen angle & full fit panel. Many high-end notebooks use fully-fitted screens, but the downside is reflective issues. For example, the Apple series uses a coating method to suppress the reflection (similar to the coating treatment of the SLR lens). The MiBook, like most other children, is bare glass . The specific reflection must be a little bit, as shown in the reflective display on the window side, but it does not seem very serious. In addition, this screen is 178 degrees visual, not the narrow-angle display of the early macbook air.


Light leak test. This part of the picture all straight out, the top of the middle of the white text. Three colors of the test, visible edge and middle just a little uneven brightness, the overall light leakage control is very good!


Screen Summary: Light leakage control is excellent, all fit and bright show. In the process of use, I just feel that the screen is slightly smaller and the text is hard to read. However, this is not a screen problem. This is a size problem. The panel supplier is BOE. The overall color performance is also an excellent level in notebooks. However, compared with Samsung's 13-inch rice and suppliers, the color performance is slightly worse.


Configure upgrade space

Seeing only 4GB of memory and 128GB of silver, upgrading the space is naturally important. To do this, you must open the back cover.

Remove all screws, and note that there is also a screw under the upper middle plastic washer. Uncover the buckle and open the back cover. The structure inside is very compact, and there are few flying lines (some are just power supply lines and speaker cables). The main board is black pcb, and the battery accounts for half of the space.


There is no memory socket on the motherboard. The existing memory is soldered directly to the motherboard. This shows that there is no room for upgrade at the end of the memory.


In the upper right corner of the main board, see the SSD. The existing 128GB is the sata3 interface. There is an empty space next to the SSD. The PCIe interface can be upgraded later and the SSD can be dual-channel.

Summary: Not to mention the CPU can not be replaced does not say (after all, now a lot of laptops, especially ultra-pole this is the case), but the memory is only 4G and can not be upgraded, this is the configuration of the macbook pro version 3 years ago. However, the memory size is very important for laptops, 4GB is undoubtedly a bit smaller, further illustrating the machine is not performance-oriented. SSD adopts a scalable strategy and has two sockets. This is an extremely conscientious approach, and even a bit overmatched. After the upgrade of the SSD, you can buy an existing PCIe port with the existing "dual channel". You can also replace the sata port with the car.


Battery life

It can be seen from the above that the battery occupies half of the space in the cabin and is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 36 watt-hours. This is definitely a large capacity for such a petite size notebook. The battery supplier is LG (can be seen by pulling out the metal tab).

Nominal 9.5 hours, 7.5 hours of battery life, in the normal Internet access, office conditions, 6 hours no problem . Charging has a "quick charge" function, specifications for the 1C, the test can indeed charge 50% of the electricity half an hour down (not 100% full 1 hour, because the charge to the final current and efficiency will be slow).

There is a battery indicator on the charging port (USB Type-C). Red, yellow and blue are used to indicate the remaining battery information.


Performance statement

Although the baby is the main portable, endurance, not a performance monster, but the performance can not be abandoned. There is a direct link between performance and configuration, and it is also related to system optimization.

Okay, run a minute!

With a total score of 70,000 points, just over 50% of the users are in the middle of no comparable place (because you are the new player), but it also shows that the performance is not too weak. The performance of the CPU, graphics card, and memory is all in the midstream, but the hard disk actually defeated 95% of the users. Perhaps the virtual memory is also very strong when the memory is not enough.


Compared with running points, I am more concerned about the actual use of the situation, which boot time is also very important. Basically, it is always the state of seconds and seconds. The installation of the 360 ​​monitors only takes 6 seconds to boot, defeating 99% of the users.


Summary: Performance is not a monster, but it is not a disease. Actual use of seconds to open seconds off, even if the memory usage after opening a few pages is relatively high, but the actual use is quite smooth. This may have little to do with the system pre-installed software, because mainstream brands will be pre-installed with a large number of software that is said to be related to the system, security, services, etc., and since then, these computer manufacturers may look down on Microsoft systems, security, service Ability, right? The 6-second boot performance is absolutely related to the system's "cleanliness." And in the process of using this machine, it is more of a " open and cover, use the lid to leave " state, which is also the usual case of using a macbook, and the battery power has not been significantly reduced after two days without "opening the lid." Most other windows laptops have too many differences. However, although the wake-up speed is not slow, it is also true that it is slower than the macbook.


So is the value still worth?

Rather than worth the money, it is better to say which user groups are suitable. It is this distinctive feature (low configuration, good portable) that is more suitable for the following types of user groups (uses):

First, business people . Often traveling south to north, a pound of weight is also very helpful for light-loading, and does not run professional programs, only light applications such as documents, entertainment.

Second, non-professional student groups. Mainly non-computer professional, design professional, because these professions need to run large software, if only chase, Internet, papers, etc., the baby is sufficient, and as long as the 3K5's price is fully cheap.

Third, the vice-machine of professionals. General software, design, and other professionals must have higher-profile desktops, notebooks, or laptop workstations, but these are very unfavorable to carry.

Millet notebook Air 12.5 is a low-profile configuration, but it is a product with excellent workmanship, design, and materials. It is a distinctive product. It is a product that faces the differential market, and you may think this section is too inappropriate for you. You need a 13.3-inch version of the Airbus, with a higher configuration, a larger screen, and more weight, to accommodate more uses (professional programs, games, etc.). Or, you need a game book, workstation, or desktop, server...

However, this machine has a cnc integrated aluminum body, full-fit screen, glass touch pad, ultra-narrow frame, backlit keyboard , etc. Only the high-end models have the configuration and design, these "configuration single" element is exactly Support other mainstream manufacturers for high-end models for high pricing reasons...

Does not suit you, value and worth, do you think?
