As its name suggests, the Mi Notebook Ultra is the higher-end variant of the two laptops. It has an Aluminum alloy chassis, featuring a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 3200 x 2000 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 90Hz refresh rate. The laptop packs Intel's latest 11th-Gen Tiger Lake H-series processors (Core i5-11300H or Core i7-11370H) with Iris Xe graphics, either 8GB or 16GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3200MHz, and 512GB of NVMe solid-state storage. The Ultra variant packs a 70Whr battery with 65W fast charging support via USB Type-C.
The Mi Notebook Pro features the same Aluminum alloy chassis, but it has a smaller form factor. That's because it packs a smaller 14-inch IPS display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 60Hz refresh rate. On the inside, the laptop comes with the same Intel 11th-Gen Tiger Lake processors with Iris Xe graphics, 8GB or 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and 512GB of NVMe storage. The Pro variant packs a 56WHr battery with 65W fast charging support via USB Type-C.
Both of Xiaomi's new laptops offer the same port selection, including a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB Type-C port with power delivery, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, an HDMI 1.4 port, and a 3.5mm combo jack. For wireless connectivity, the laptops offer Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. The two notebooks also include a built-in 720p webcam, two 2W stereo speakers, support for the DTS audio processing app, a fingerprint sensor, and a built-in microphone.
The Mi Notebook Ultra and Mi Notebook Pro feature an 83-key keyboard with 3 stage backlighting and a substantially-sized trackpad with Windows Precision drivers. The keyboard on both laptops makes use of a scissor mechanism, with the Ultra offering 1.5mm key travel and the Pro offering 1.3mm key travel.
On the software front, the laptops run Windows 10 Home with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 preinstalled. The notebooks are eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11.
