Since the laptop has really thin bezels, there is no in-built webcam but Xiaomi is shipping a USB webcam with the device. The Notebook is claimed to deliver up to 10 hours of usage on a single charge. 

The Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition features a 14-inch full-HD (1,920x1,080 pixels) anti-glare IPS display with screen-to-body ratio of 91 percent, 60Hz refresh rate, and 178-degree viewing angles.

This model comes with a metallic chassis on a frame framework of aluminium and magnesium alloy. Again, you get a USB webcam. There is a 46Wh battery that is touted to deliver up to 10 hours of usage on a single charge.
