Xiaomi Mi Gaming Notebook Intel Core i7-8750H Nvidia GeForce GTX1060

When I saw first time, only one word was in your mind: quality. From the box, where the illustration is the notebook's schematic blueprint until the brushed aluminium housing I feel detailed thinking and implementing. And after I switched and realized the power what this machine contains. Compromise-free working, mobility in a very elegant, modern serving.
Forthis price the competitors have got worse configuration or the same configuration is more expensive.

Positive experiences:

- Powerfull
- Real NVMe SSD, not SATA like Razer (Samsung NVMe SSD, 3,5 GB/s reading, 1,5GB/s writing speed)
-Effective cooling (5 heatpipes to dual vents)
-Legal Windows 10 Home

Neutral experiences:
- Turbo mode the vents quiet loud ( I knew that, I use headphones)
- arrived in chinese language, by youtube changed the language and installed local Win 10
- Xiaomi miservice2 and Gaming box install were tricky (by this softwares can config the RGB lights and macrokeys)
- quiet heavy (of course, it is metal, my previous was metal too, no problem)

Negative experiences:
-not yet.

Took a little bit to get it all setup after receiving, because the Chinese language windows version, bios too it's Chinese by default but a drop down menu can change to English easily.
I installed a clean windows 10, got a cheap pro key on eBay, set bios to legacy mode to boot from USB and installed fine.
(To anyone doing this, update your windows completely, including the October update etc before installing drivers, Intel graphic driver is required before Nvidia and it won't install of your windows is not up to date.)
I also just noticed Xiaomi released an update for their mi gaming box program, it's now in English as well, the program that controls your lights and macro keys.
Another thing I just can't live without is Linux so I partitioned the SSD drive reserving ~40gb or so for a Linux partition (can be done in windows using the disk management utility), and I faced no issues installing KDE neon distro on the side of windows 10, dual booting, everything worked out of the box.

It is impossible to find the power and quality of this laptop at the price of this Xiaomi Gaming Laptop. Fully fulfills the expectations created, because its technical specifications are very good, both for playing and for what is most important to me, and for what I am going to use it, photography and video editing. It also has a sober and elegant design, away from the typical quirky designs of gaming computers.

The only negative points that have, already known before the purchase, is that it comes with windows in Chinese, easy to solve reinstalling windows in our own language, and that the keyboard is in English of the United States, which can be fixed with stickers which are easy to acquire, although it is a solution that I find somewhat sloppy. I am waiting for them to put on sale silicone keyboard covers with my own language, as they already exist for other Xiaomi models, although I have not yet found them for the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop.

I have now my computer for almost 3 months. I was positively surprised when I received it. Fantastic packaging, and very quick shipping with DPD. I was giving the product 5 stars because of great price, and because GB was the one, having it. I love everything on the product, it came with activated OS, the hardware is no match against the same priced other brands. The quality is extremely good, and you can feel it with every press on the keyboard. I am very pleased with extended graphic card because it can run games at full on the FullHD screen. I am very pleased also with the screen it looks way better than I expected. The advantages of the computer were of course the new I7 processor, fast NVMe type disk, and graphic card. You will hardly find something similar in Europe for this price!

Recieved it yesterday and was happily surprised. High quality packaging just like with other big brands. laptop is beautifully built, has great design and much more slim & elegant than i anticipated. Screen is great & performance seems to be very high. Trackpad also great.
the only reason i gave this a 4 star rating is because if you are a user which isnt Chinese, changing the language *completely* is kind of a hassle. Luckily i know my way around so i got to work pretty fast. changing language requires upgrading to windows pro, and even after - needs some extra setting up for making the entire system english.
its also a bit on the heavy side (2.7kg).

after the windows upgrade and language change were over, the experience is just great.

highly recommend ! for the price of it you cant find this spec on any of the competitors.
