Lenovo trolls Chinese copycat with Lenovo Air 13

Lenovo Air 13 is the new ultrabook from personal computing giant Lenovo. The ultrabook is powered by Intel Skylake chip, Nvidia graphics  and has a 13″ display.  Priced at $750 in China,  the Lenovo Air 13 is already up for pre-order in China.

Xiaomi has announced their first ultrabook earlier on the same day and will be going on sale via their usual flash sale Circus later in August. By announcing an ultrabook that comes with similar computing power,  better after sales support and with similar pricing, Lenovo has literally crashed  Xiaomi’s entry into business where  Lenovo is very dominant.
