Xiaomi intends to introduce a new series of laptops on August 26 during the Mi Smart Living 2022 event. Some key features of the models were revealed on the Xiaomi India website — the new devices will get backlit keyboards, fingerprint scanners, Intel Core processors and Thunderbolt ports.

The new products are expected to be called Mi Notebook Pro 14 and Mi Notebook Ultra 15, both variants will get Intel Core processors and biometric scanners, a feature that was also missing from the previous models.
