From the picture, the laptop will have an ultra-thin build which will also translate to a lighter weight. The display adopts the full-screen design that isn’t so common in laptop.

The display has a 90% screen ratio while the bezels are just 3.26mm in size on three sides. The display also has 100% sRGB high color gamut.

Further, the Ryzen-powered RedmiBook 16 is touted to come with three performance modes which can be switched at will using the Function (Fn) + K keys. An earlier teaser reveals the modes to be ‘Full Speed’, ‘Balanced’, and ‘Quiet’ modes. Xiaomi also hinted that the three modes are targeted at gaming, office work, and normal tasks respectively. The ‘Full Speed’ mode is said to increase the performance by 34.5%.
Xiaomi also has revealed that the laptop will be equipped with a 65W mini power adapter as standard. The picture of the adapter shows it looks like that of a mobile phone in size and also has a USB-C output port which suggests the laptop will also be charged via a USB-C port.
