I suggest you to only get Xiaomi Laptop if service center is available in your country otherwise it could be a big problem. Their phones are already so good, i have tested them already. Not sure about their Mi Book but by reading the reviews and watching video reviews, it sounds really good and better than Apple Macbook.

Thanks for the advice @Lampard.  I wonder whether one would be able to take a laptop like that to a Macbook Service Center .... lol

I don't think I'll go for Macbook or a Macbook equivalent for now.  If I need to get a new laptop I'll probably go for a Lenovo Thinkpad X series.  Depending on whether I've got a job or not.  I'm still happy with my Toshiba Ultrabook on Windows 7 and I also purchased a second hand Lenovo Thinkpad in the X series two years ago that has been blowing me away with its great performance.  Macbook I know is great, but too expensive, and I'm a bit old fashioned in that I prefer IBM compatible.
