Xiaomi released the Redmi Book 14/16 2024 laptops back in November last year in its home country. Later on, the company also released a slightly cut-down version of the machine with a low-resolution display, a smaller battery, and a 12th-gen (as opposed to the 13th-gen i5 of the original version) i5 chip. While the original version (16GB RAM + 512GB) launched with a price tag of 4399 Yuan (~$621), the same configuration of the later one (with i5-12450H) was priced at 3,399 yuan (~$475) at launch.

The 12th gen i5 model gets a price cut

Now JD.com is offering the 12th-generation model of the Redmi Book 16 2024 with a price tag of 3,036 yuan (~$422). In addition to that, members can reportedly enjoy an extra 7.59 yuan discount, with support for 2 times compensation for overpriced purchases:

This display offers a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels (16:10) and supports a refresh rate of 60Hz. It reaches up to 300 nits in peak brightness can cover 100% of the sRGB color gamut and supports DC dimming as well as Dolby Vision.

This laptop comes with 47W TDP. The i5 chip is paired with 16GB LPDDR5 5200MT/s dual-channel high-frequency memory and 1TB PCle 4.0 high-speed SSD.

At the Redmi K70 series launch event, the brand also unveiled its latest laptop dubbed Redmi Book 2024. This notebook comes in 14-inch and 16-inch variants powered by 13th Gen Intel H series processors

The smaller version has been on sale since it went official. However, the larger model went up for sale a few days later.

Now, weeks later, the company has quietly released a new version of the 16-inch laptop with a different chip. Let’s go through its features.

Redmi Book 16 2024 is now more affordable with watered-down features

Redmi has launched yet another 16-inch notebook in China. The new product is also called ‘Redmi Book 16 2024’ like the recently released model.

However, the newer variant is cheaper as it is powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12450H processor instead of a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13500H chipset found inside the prior variant. The less powerful chip is paired with a slower LPDDR5 5200MT/s RAM as opposed to a 6400MT/s unit.

The 12th gen model also has a lower-resolution display with a standard refresh rate and lower brightness level. Its panel offers a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, a 60Hz refresh rate, and 300 nits brightness level. Whereas, the 13th gen variant’s display has a 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels), a 120Hz refresh rate, and 400 nits brightness level.

Anyways, the display’s size remains the same at 16-inch. It can cover 100% of the sRGB color gamut and supports DC dimming as well as Dolby Vision. Even the charging speed is identical at 100W, however, it lacks the Thunderbolt 4 port and the battery capacity is 56Wh as compared to a 72Wh unit inside the more powerful version.

Apart from the aforementioned differences, the other remaining features are common across both models. The laptop features a metal body with a 180° hinge. It is equipped with a full-size backlit keyboard (1.5mm key travel) and arrives in a single Stary Gray color option.

Wireless connectivity options include WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. It comes with multiple ports, such as 1 x USB 2.0 (type-A), 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (type-A), 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (type-C), 1 x HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Last but not least, it boots Microsoft Windows 11 Home Chinese Edition with support HyperOS Connect which enables ecosystem features across Xiaomi devices.

Redmi Book 16 2024 12th Gen Intel processor variant carries the following price tags in China and is now up for pre-order.

• 16GB + 512GB – ¥3,399 (~$475)
• 16GB + 1TB – ¥3,599 (~$505)

Xiaomi is all set to unveil its latest laptops, the Redmi Book 14 2024 and Redmi Book 16 2024, alongside its Redmi K70 series smartphones on November 29. The company is now teasing some of its key specifications ahead of the launch.

The Redmi Book 16 2024 is powered by the Intel Core i5-13500H processor. This processor features 12 cores (4 performance + 8 efficiency cores) with 16 threads and a turbo boost frequency of up to 4.70 GHz. 

The laptop will also come with flagship-level LPDDR5 6400MT/s memory, and a TDP (thermal design power) of 47W. The laptop also features dual fans and dual 8mm heat pipes for efficient cooling. 

The Redmi Book 14 2024 is expected to have similar specifications to the Redmi Book 16 2024. However, it is not yet clear what processor it will be powered by or what its TDP will be.

Xiaomi is also touting the upcoming Redmi Book as being fully integrated with Xiaomi’s HyperOS Connect ecosystem. This means that the laptop will be able to seamlessly connect with other Xiaomi devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart home appliances. This integration will streamline tasks such as file transfer, screen mirroring, and multi-device control.

Previous teasers of the Redmi Book 14/16 2024 revealed a sleek design with relatively thin bezels and a possible metal body. The laptops feature a generous array of ports, including two USB Type-A ports on the right side, one USB Type-A port, one HDMI port, one headphone jack, and one Type-C port, catering to a variety of connectivity needs.

More information about the Redmi Book 14/16 (2024) is expected to be revealed as we get closer to its official launch.
