Is Xiaomi Working Against Apple?

The software giant coauld be facing some serious pressure from Chinese firm which has recently decided to launch a new laptop series supported by Linux operating system

Apple Inc seems to be in a threatened position and that too by a Chinese tech company called Xiaomi which is reportedly working on a new laptop that could change the way people look at the laptops made by the iPhone makers, according to recent Apple news.

According to the recent news, it looks like the Chinese company is currently working towards initializing a laptop making business and this news has been confirmed by not only Digitimes but also Bloomberg. The tech firm seems to be quite focused about the whole project as reports say that it has already started ot contact other companies in order to receive all the right components and products for the manufacturing of the gadget. Currently, it is dealing with Samsung with which it wishes to get important parts from. Furthermore, a deal is in process with Foxconn which will make up the design of the gadget that the firm wishes to release in the market sooner than later.

According to the latest Apple updates that have been released, it was also seen that Apple business will be facing outright competition from Xiaomi which will be making a laptop with a screen of 15 inches and will be made available to the public with a price tag of $470. The Chinese firm has also announced that the laptop will be supported by Linux instead of the usual Windows operating system which is something else that sets it apart from other companies.  Even though a lot of things have yet to be released, it shows that the firm will going up against giants in the industry like the iPhone makers which is something that has gotten the analysts to talk ponderously.

Analysts on the other hand, are taking in consideration the future that laptops have in the industry and how the Xiaomi ones can end up fighting the PCs battles with the ones which are already available in the industry, like Macbooks, Ultrabooks and Microsoft’s Surface and Surface Pro. If everything goes according to plan, it will turn out that the laptops made by the giant turn out to be a deal breaker, giving a difficult time to all the other giants in the industry.

Furthermore, it is being believed that Google’s Chromebooks could also end up having a relatively increase in sales too, which again is something that Apple software giant needs to take into consideration. With all the different laptops backed up by Linux operating system, analysts believe the software giant of the industry could actually end up facing a difficult time in the coming future.
