The laptop features a 13.3-inch OLED screen with a 2,880 x 1,800 pixels resolution, which is also called 2.8K resolution. The display panel is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which saves the display against any scratches- which indeed looks like a useful tip as the laptop supports touchscreen and the hinge can flip the touchscreen too.

About the 2.8K display with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos
The new Xiaomi Book Air 13 comes with Dolby Atmos stereo speakers for a clear and immersive experience for entertainment and work, both. The laptop comes with two speakers and the device further supports 2 x Thunderbolt 4 connectors along with a 3.5mm audio jack. On the battery front, the laptop comes with a 58.3 Wh battery and supports a 65W charging adapter.
Slim Profile
As the company said, the new Xiaomi Book Air 13 laptop will be called a “slim profile” as it comes with 12 mm thick and weighs almost 1.2 kg. The device will be available in just White colour, but the company might launch further colour variants (but nothing has been stated by the company at the time of writing).
The white laptop comes with gold finish borders. Also, the company has not shared any plans to launch the device globally, but we hope that the laptop to foray into the Indian market, as it will stand tall in the competition with the other touchscreen laptops which are available in the market. But so far, it will be exclusive to the Chinese market only.
