Xiaomi is the globally renowned smartphone company that currently sits among the Top 3 best-selling smartphone brands in the world. However, the brand in its home country, China also sells IoT smart home products, tablets and even notebook laptops for the general consumers, and with the brand’s affordable, these products always propose a high value-for-performance ratio for the buyers.
Today, the Xiaomi brand has brought great news to Malaysian shores, as on its official Xiaomi Malaysia Facebook account, the company revealed that it will be launching the RedmiBook 15, the company’s first-ever laptop in the country, next week on June 6th, 2022.
The announcement post did not reveal any other details besides the launch date, but with a simple reverse Google Image search, we were able to track down that from the marketing materials, the RedmiBook 15 that is launching in Malaysia is the same RedmiBook 15 that was launched back in Indonesia last year in July 2021.
The RedmiBook 15 launched in Indonesia came with Intel’s 11th Gen SuperFinCore i3-1115G4 which was built on Intel’s 10nm SuperFin part process. The i3 processor is unfortunately just a dual-core processor with 4 threads.
The screen of the RedmiBook 15 is a 15.6-inch FHD IPS LCD Display that has a 720p webcam housed above it. The device is housed within a thin and lightweight metal chassis, that only weighs in at 1.8 kilograms and 19.9 millimetres.
The RedmiBook 15 has a 46Wh battery that Xiaomi claims can deliver up to 10 hours of battery life. Unfortunately, the laptop does not charge via USB-C. Instead, a barrel-plug charger is included in the box.
Ports and connectivity-wise, the RedmiBook 15 only supports the older WiFi 5 standard and has one HDMI port, 2 USB 3.0 connectors, one Ethernet port, one USB 2.0 connector, one 3.5 mm headphone jack and one SD card reader.
The RedmiBook 15 comes in with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and two storage options: a 256GB SATA SSD or a faster 512GB NVME SSD.
Pricing of the RedmiBook 15 is to be revealed in Malaysia on the launch day, June 6th.
