As a one time device? Yea. Sure. It is fine.
Who even cares if 42k goes for a waste. You will regret it for a while and get away with it in a few months.
But as a grand scheme thinking of laptop computing and it's future? Don't buy it for the love of electronics ?
RUINED MARKET FOR FUTURE
Xiaomi has ruined the mobile market and has made mobiles into buy once an year affairs. Xiaomi's entrance into the phone market just moved us from robust, innovative phones that could last years to phones that are basically bricks and need to be upgraded every year. I genuinely wish laptops don't meet the same fate.
OVERPRICED
Also, the Mi Notebook is way too overpriced, you can find better alternatives from high quality brands like HP, Asus, Dell giving far better specs too!
FAKE BRANDING/ADVERTISING
Mi is already fake marketing. They advertise “SSD” but it is a slow, horrible SATA SSD unlike many laptops which use PCIe. They're giving a dedicated MX250, but only the weak and worthless 10W version. They're claiming 91% screen to body but even an uneducated will know that it is less than 80% seeing that thick chin. They advertise 10th Gen, but it is 14nm CPU with UHD Graphics instead of the 10nm CPU with G7 GPU like other 10th Gen Laptops like the Acer Swift 3 or Asus VivoBooks.
DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMER
I don't want to deny the fact that all cheap laptops have mediocre parts and the manufacturers cheap out. But Acer and other brands smartly cheap out in places where the budget user will not mind, like say a USB 3.0 instead of 3.2 Gen 2. Xiaomi is already cheaping out on the face, by literally using weaker CPUs and GPUs. That is just a sign of disrespect to the user.
People will notice but MI's blind fans and sold YouTube reviews will keep it alive.
Edit: The 91% Screen to Body is a Mi Notebook “Horizon Edition” feature, not Mi Notebook feature. I was wrong there. The Horizon Edition is a 54, 000INR Laptop that also comes with an MX350, but I still don't know if it is 10 Watts, which would make that a horrible performer too.
Also, I'm boycotting this which is originated from China.
