Original Story
Xiaomi has been launching new products in the Indian market at regular intervals, along with introducing new product categories. After years of waiting, the company is finally bringing its much-awaited product in the Indian market — laptops.
The company recently started teasing the arrival of Xiaomi laptops in the Indian market but Xioami has not yet confirmed which model is getting unveiled. But now, information about this has leaked online.
As per the report, Xiaomi will be launching its laptop in the Indian market on 11th June. Although the laptop is said to be the RedmiBook 13, it will be rebranded and launched under the company’s Mi brand in India.
The leaked teaser images of the upcoming product showcase a 13-inch bezel-less display and Intel Core i7 processor. However, we expect the company to offer the product in other chipset configuration as well.
Although Xiaomi is known for making affordable products, which is actually the reason behind its massive success in markets like India, the upcoming laptops won’t be priced aggressively.ย Raghu Reddy, the chief business officer at Xiaomi India recently said that the company won’t follow the smartphone model of affordability, and will instead be targeting the laptops for creators, students, and gamers.

The RedmiBook 13, which was unveiled in China in December last year, comes with a 13.3-inch Full HD display with an 89 percent screen-to-body ratio. It is powered by the 10th-generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce MX250 GPU, along with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.
As for the pricing, in the Chinese market, the Core i5 model of RedmiBook is priced at 4,199 yuan which is about โน44,500 (~$588) while the Core i7 model costs 5,199 yuan that roughly converts to โน55,000 (~$728).
It remains to be seen how the company prices the Mi laptop in the Indian market. Xiaomi is yet to officially announce the launch date for the laptops but we expect the company to do so in the coming days.
