Xiaomi has launched its 2025 REDMI Book Pro 14 and REDMI Book Pro 16 laptops in China alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra smartphone. The new laptops feature Intel’s second-generation Core Ultra processors, improved displays, and enhanced AI capabilities.
REDMI Book Pro 16
The REDMI Book Pro 16 arrives with a sleek metal body measuring 15.9mm in thickness and weighing 1.88kg. Its standout feature is a 3.1K LCD screen (3072×1920) with a 165Hz refresh rate, 500 nits brightness, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. The display is VESA HDR 400 certified with a Delta E value of approximately 0.33 for accurate color representation.
Under the hood, the laptop is powered by either an Intel Ultra 5 225H (14 cores, 4.9GHz) or Ultra 7 255H (16 cores, 5.1GHz) processor. Compared to the 2024 model, the new Pro 16 delivers 21.6% better single-core and 29.5% improved multi-core performance. It comes with 32GB LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, with an additional M.2 slot for storage expansion.
Battery life is a major strength, with the 99Wh battery lasting up to 30 hours. The included 140W GaN USB-C adapter charges the laptop to 54% in 30 minutes and supports 120W phone charging. For cooling, the “Hurricane Cooling” system features dual 12V fans with 200 blades, three heat pipes, and improved thermal conductivity that’s 63.4% better than last year’s model.

Configuration options mirror the Pro 16, with Intel Ultra 5 225H or Ultra 7 255H processors and either 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5X memory.
