In January, Redmi unveiled the 2025 Redmi Book 14 and Redmi Book 16 alongside the Redmi Turbo 4 handset in China.  Now the brand has silently unveiled the Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition as an affordable variant for the home market. Here’s everything known about the new notebook.

Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition specifications and features

The Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition replaces the Intel Core 5-210H processor found in the standard version with an Intel Core i5-13420H. This processor has eight cores, including four performance and four efficiency cores, along with twelve threads. It achieves a maximum turbo frequency of 4.6GHz and features 12MB of Intel Smart Cache. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 48 execution units and a frequency of 1.4GHz provides basic graphical performance.

One of the most significant changes is in the display. While the standard Redmi Book 14 (2025) comes with a high-resolution 2.5K 120Hz screen, the Refreshed Edition downgrades to a 14-inch 1920 × 1200 (WUXGA) display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It still supports a 100% sRGB colour gamut and has an anti-glare panel, but users who prioritize a smoother refresh rate and sharper resolution may find this a compromise.

The laptop runs on Windows 11 and comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB PCIe SSD storage. It packs a 56Wh battery and supports 100W USB-C fast charging, which can charge the device up to 50% in around 35 minutes.

In terms of connectivity, it features an HDMI 2.1 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB-C port that supports charging and data transfer, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless wireless connectivity. The metal body keeps it lightweight at 1.37kg and includes a backlit keyboard along with dual speakers tuned with DTS.

Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition price

The Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition is priced at 3,499 yuan. With a 20% government subsidy, the final price could drop to around 2,719 yuan. The new notebook is scheduled to go on sale on March 24.
