Design-wise, or if you try to judge using the display (size or quality), you might not be able to tell the difference between the Mi Notebook Pro 2 and its predecessor.
That is because the body dimension and display are identical. Major differences exist in the internal setup which Xiaomi says will increase the Notebook’s performance by roughly 32% compared to the 2017 Notebook Pro.
A 15.6-inch screen with 81 percent of screen-to-body ratio, full HD screen resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and 72 percent of NTSC colour space is in charge of display. The screen is an IPS display which comes with wide viewing angles and brightness level (300 nits).
The keyboard of the Notebook Pro 2 is backlit and comes with support for four independent colour zones and an individual key thickness of 1.8mm. Other features of the keyboard are a N-key rollover of 30 keys and five programmable keys. There is also support for fingerprint sensor and a webcam of 1-Megapixels above the laptop’s display as usual.
The Mi Notebook Pro 2 is fortified with a number of ports: three USB 3.0, 1 USB Type-C, 3.5mm headphone jack, Gigabit Ethernet port, and a HDMI 2.0 port. The device features two 3W speakers with Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos integration.
