Introduction to the New RedmiBook Series
Xiaomi has officially lifted the veil on its latest offerings, the 14-inch and 16-inch RedmiBook (2025) models. Aligned with the tech community’s buzz, these laptops are all set to stir some excitement—albeit, for now, they are a Chinese exclusive. However, given Xiaomi’s international reach, we can reasonably expect these devices to make their way globally soon.
Performance that Packs a Punch
At the heart of the RedmiBook is the impressive 12-core Intel Core 220H CPU, based on the Raptor Lake-H refresh architecture. With 16 threads and clock speeds that can ramp up from 2 to a sizzling 4.9 GHz, performance is not just a dream; it’s very much a reality. While you won’t find dedicated graphics support, the system does rely on the Iris Xe iGPU, which might falter compared to the newer Arc iGPUs found in the latest lineups.
Design and Display: Thin, Light, and Bright
Weighing in at just 1.36 kg and 1.65 kg, the RedmiBooks boast sleek profiles with a thickness of only 15.9 mm. Battery life is another selling point, with Xiaomi advertising a whopping 19.05 hours from a 72 Wh battery, although real-world usage might yield somewhat less. The 14-inch model features a vibrant 2.8K LCD, while the 16-inch version surprises with a 2.5K display, both equipped with a 120 Hz refresh rate—perfect for those who appreciate smooth visuals.
Starting at approximately $640 for the 14-inch version (with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage), these laptops promise value and innovation, indicating a promising future for Xiaomi in the laptop market!
