A few things to consider before purchasing (thanks scotty)

  • Overall price just tipped over $1,000 GST threshold, and you might have to pay extra 10% GST.
  • Device came with Windows 10 Chinese language pack.
  • There's a M.2 slot for extra SSD, but RAM looks like soldered on so no upgrade available.
  • You are dealing with an overseas vendor on warranty and returns. Be familiar with PayPal return shipping refund

      Lowest US price I might add. I personally use US to avoid exchange rates… however….

      Combine with Cashrewards to get it for ~$1037.13 AU.

      Edit: Just checked on Gearbest. $814.70 US which is $1,073.65 AU on current exchange rate or $1062.87 AU on Gearbest's AU rate.

  • lostn on 15/11/2017 - 19:27

    Wait for a further discount. You might be paying import tax unless they mark down the value.

      I'm waiting for it to fall under $1000AUD too, but this is a pretty significant discount - it was ~$890USD just a couple days ago.

      Hoping the price falls even more soon, although it may not be until after Christmas at this rate

      • lostn on 15/11/2017 - 21:16

        It's still new and you've had a $82 discount already. Won't be long before it drops below $1000. It's a brand that gets deals all the time.

        • simion1232006 on 16/11/2017 - 02:18

          xiaomi does not give much deal, this is their normal price in China. It is a deal though when considering the shipping and importing.

        • lostn on 16/11/2017 - 17:34

          @simion1232006: I should rephrase. The brand is a brand that Gearbest, Banggood, LITB, Topbuy, et al like to discount often.

  • Merlict on 15/11/2017 - 19:28

    Would be nice if it was <$1000 AU so you don't risk GST

  • jace88 on 15/11/2017 - 19:49

    Is it possible to convert to English with the BIOS Windows Product Key if you reinstall the image?

    • ozhunter on 15/11/2017 - 20:27

      Doesn't seem so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv3EWrlPLvc&t=502s

    • kyng279 on 15/11/2017 - 20:49

      You will need to install Windows 10 English version.

      The Product key that comes with the Xiaomi Laptop is for single-language Chinese only, and cannot be used to activate other versions of Windows.

      If you contact Microsoft support they may be sympathetic and give you another product key for Windows 10 English, however, they also might not.

      TL DR: you will probably have to source a Windows 10 English product key if you want to reinstall windows!

      Just an anecdote, might not work for you, but with my Xiaomi Air 13" as soon as I got it, I logged in with my microsoft account to make sure the key was registered, then clean installed W10 Home edition over it. It registered and is working dandy fine right now.

    goodness… over a grand for a xiaomi laptop with no local support, and its a bargain?
    i must have lost touch
    are xiaomi laptops mighty incredible?

    • lostn on 15/11/2017 - 21:17

      From a distance it looks like a MAcbook.

    • ozhunter on 15/11/2017 - 21:59

      Certain brands need local support for people to buy :D

      • chutibuti on 16/11/2017 - 08:00

        But not for xiaomi 😄

  • Hornpub on 15/11/2017 - 20:36

    Usually I dispit all xiaomi high end product (phone, laptop) but since linustechtip gives really high screen for this one, I would try it out in store first before buy it.

        I concur strongly. Never had a good experience with Acer.

  • scrottyB on 15/11/2017 - 22:13

    My EZBook 3S arrived tonight, DOA from LITB. Looking forward to the return….

    • Store RepMiniInTheBox @ LightInTheBox on 16/11/2017 - 12:29

      morning mate, do you mind pm me your order number? i will see if i can help any

      • scrottyB on 18/11/2017 - 10:01

        sent, thank you.

        edit: received the return form and they're refunding me the cost + postage,

        but how the heck do I ship to china?? recorded, insured??

        • kei on 20/11/2017 - 23:59

          You'll probably have to use dhl or fedex.

        • scrottyB on 21/11/2017 - 19:09

          Just went to the post office at lunch and did their tracked service '8 days $65' (the 4-8 days was $75). LITB specifically told me after asking a couple of times that I should do the "cheapest option" and that insurance "isn't required". Hey-ho, bit strange but I've covered myself at least.

          On a side note, the guy at PO asked me if there was a battery in it, which I said no. I explained I was just returning the laptop as-is. In any case I couldn't have taken the battery out anyway, it was delivered to me that way so I figures it was ok to return it that way as I didn't want void the warranty etc. Anyone else have this problem? Is it a problem?
