Xiaomi is getting serious about AI-powered computing. During a recent livestream focused on the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the company’s President, Lu Weibing, confirmed that Xiaomi is launching its first AI PC.
While he kept the official name under wraps, he did reveal one standout feature: a 99Wh battery, carefully designed to sit just below the airline-imposed limit for carry-on electronics.
The announcement comes just days after Ma Zhiyu, Product Marketing Director at Xiaomi Communications Technology, shared an image of a new Redmi laptop packaging. This device, likely the Redmi Book Pro 2025, is rumored to be powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, though the exact model remains unclear.
The upcoming laptop is expected to integrate deeply with Xiaomi HyperOS Smart Connect, which means seamless interaction with the company’s ecosystem of smartphones, tablets, and even smart home devices. It will also come preloaded with Xiao AI Assistant and the Xiaomi PC Manager, hinting at a software experience optimized for AI-driven productivity and automation.
Beyond AI smarts, the leaked specs suggest this laptop will have solid gaming chops. Ma Zhiyu shared performance benchmarks while running Black Myth: Wukong, one of the most anticipated Chinese-developed action RPGs. The laptop reportedly delivered an average frame rate of 67 fps, peaking at 75 fps and never dipping below 59 fps. These numbers suggest a well-optimized cooling system and a GPU that can handle demanding workloads.
Xiaomi’s laptop strategy has always been a bit sporadic, especially when compared to its more established competitors. However, Ma Zhiyu clarified that Xiaomi-branded laptops will receive updates, just not in the immediate future. This suggests the company is focusing its efforts on the Redmi lineup for now.
Last month, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Book 14 and 16 2025 laptops, featuring Intel Core 5-220H processors, up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. The 14-inch model sports a 2.8K 120Hz display, while the 16-inch variant has a 2.5K 120Hz screen, both with TÜV Rheinland certification. With a 72Wh battery, 100W GaN fast charging, HyperOS 2 optimizations, and Xiaomi HyperOS Connect, these laptops offer extended battery life and seamless device integration. They also include a sleek metal chassis, a range of connectivity options, and premium features like Dolby Atmos audio and a 1080p camera.
