At the last Redmi event in China, the new company announced its first non-phone related product – the Redmi 1A washing machine. Its next event is rumored to be on May 13 where it will unveil its Snapdragon 855-powered flagship phone. Alongside the phone, it has been reported Redmi will launch “one more thing”.
There are speculations as to what the second product may be with some even saying it might be a smart home device. A new leak we came across suggests that may not be true. According to a tweet by Sudhanshu Ambhore, the second product is actually a Redmi laptop!
#Redmi will also release their Laptops under #Redmi branding (like #Xiaomi's Mi Notebook) with their flagship phone.

Yes, the leaker says, Redmi will also release their laptops (more than one) just like Xiaomi’s Mi Notebook, along with their flagship phone.
We haven’t gotten any proof to back up this info but it doesn’t seem far-fetched. Xiaomi already makes computers, so it won’t be hard for its spin-off company to also release its own models. Think of it as how Huawei and Honor both release computers under the MateBook and MagicBook line respectively.

The Redmi laptop will definitely have a cheaper price tag than Xiaomi’s current offerings but may also skip on some features such as a dedicated graphics card or use less-expensive materials such as a plastic chassis. However, the sad thing is the Redmi Notebook may be a China-exclusive product.
