Xiaomi is more than mobile. In fact, it has an extensive list of very interesting accessories and gadgets… And of these gadgets, without a doubt, tablets and laptops are among the most interesting. That’s why we can’t help but get excited about the arrival of a convertible laptop. Yes! A laptop and tablet in one device .
But that is not the only surprise, this laptop will include a CPU developed by Qualcomm . And no, we’re not talking about a mobile chip in a laptop. This Snapdragon SoC is designed for computers. It will be the Snapdragon 8cx Gen2, a modest ARM chip, designed for laptops.
Specifications of the Xiaomi Book S
A synthetic Geekbench test has recently appeared for a model under the code TIMI TM2133. The interesting thing is that the Redmi Book Pro 15 laptop (introduced this year in China) has the code TIMI TM2111, so we assume that this is a model soon to be presented.
In the Benchmark the specifications of this model appear :
- 8GB of RAM .
- 12-inch screen.
- Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 processor .
- 8 cores with maximum speed of 3 GHz.
- Windows 11 Home Edition 64 bit operating system.
To be honest, in the tests the single and multi-core results of this equipment do not reach what we have seen in laptops with the latest generation Intel and AMD processors .
An ARM convertible laptop for everyone
Judging by the specifications, the Xiaomi Book S will not be a high-end laptop and that is not a bad thing. We already know that Xiaomi has an ace up its sleeve with the Redmi Book 15 Pro , a team that does stand out in power and with which it will be able to face the competition.
Meanwhile, the Xiaomi Book S could target a broader and less demanding market , which includes students, users with a basic use of office automation and those who will only have it for multimedia consumption and little else.
If so, the Book S could be a more than interesting option . But let’s not get carried away, the key for a modest team to succeed is that it has an even more modest price. Being Xiaomi, we do not doubt that it will be so.
