Xiaomi to launch first laptop
Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is set to launch its first laptop in the first half of 2016, according to a report in the Taipei Times.
Richard Lee, chairman of Taiwan-based manufacturer Inventec, told the newspaper that his company would be assembling the product.
"I am upbeat about the business outlook for Xiaomi's notebook computers, as the firm has more than 200 million registered smartphone users," said Lee, adding that the new laptop would be a little different from traditional ones in terms of appearance.
Xiaomi entered the smartphone market five years ago and has since, became one of the leading vendors in China. The company also has a strong presence in markets in India, Brazil and Africa.
The company’s strategy of providing innovative and high-quality devices at budget prices has been the key feature behind its rapid growth.
And while its decision to enter the personal computer space is sure to bring additional pressure on industry leaders Lenovo, Samsung and Apple, it remains to be seen whether Xiaomi can replicate the same strategy in the PC segment.
