It's been a while since Xiaomi does not launch new laptops. The last one we saw dates back to November and is a Pro 14 notebook with AMD Ryzen. In the last period, the Chinese giant has focused on gaming laptops but according to what emerges from the database Geekbench, a whole new device is coming and not intended for the videogame spirit. This would have two distinctive features: a weight ridiculous (and we'll see why) and a SoC Snapdragon. Whether it's a convertible and not a real laptop? Maybe. Let's see the details and try to figure it out together.
Xiaomi Book S 12.4 ″ is the name of one of the brand's next portable PCs: among its features a negligible weight and Snap 8cx Gen 2
Xiaomi is preparing several new laptops. Previously. RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 it should be next, as it recently appeared on Geekbench with a powerful 7-core Intel Core i12650-10H processor. Today, however, we found traces of a new Xiaomi laptop, definitely atypical if we consider the two characteristics that distinguish it from the mass: a processor Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 (not among the last, considering the8cs Gen 3 release) and a decidedly negligible weight. But you will say, how do we know the weight of him from Geekbench? Simple: the Arm platform that the SoC is equipped with can do without a cooling system.

Judging by the data that is shown, the laptop will equip a screen with a diagonal of 12.4 ". Its name could be the one shown, that is Xiaomi Book S 12.4, but not if we are still certain. It is clear that it will be the thinnest and lightest Xiaomi laptop. Unfortunately, the performance of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 they are not exceptional. In fact, it is even lower than the Snapdragon 888. But not all the bad comes to harm: due to the use of the old platform, the price should also be low, certainly under 1000 €. To terminate the data reported by Geekbench, it is used Windows 11 Home and the amount of RAM is 8 GB.
