A few days back, Redmi officially announced the release date of the Redmi K50 series. Now, as it turns out, the March 17 event will also see the launch of multiple other products, with company GM Lu Weibing saying that it’s “Redmi’s most important launch of the year.”

According to the GM, the Redmi brand’s entire lineup will undergo a complete refresh this year. Several of these products will see their newer iterations on March 17 alone, but it seems that Redmi will be keeping other major events throughout the year.

A teaser image shared with the announcement shows the silhouette of multiple other products along with the Redmi K50 such as a router, a TV, and a laptop.

Speaking of laptops, the RedmiBook Pro 15 was spotted on Geekbench a couple of days back with the Intel Core i7-12650 processor. The processor has 10 cores, 16 threads, and up to 24MB cache, which have helped it achieve an impressive multi-core score of 11,872. This laptop is expected to launch alongside the Redmi K50 series.

The Redmi K50 series will be the most extensive flagship lineup from Redmi ever and will be powered by processors from both Qualcomm and MediaTek. It comprises the Redmi K50 Pro+ with its Dimensity 9000, the Redmi K50 Gaming with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the Redmi K50 Pro with the Dimensity 8100, and the Redmi K50 with the Snapdragon 870.

Alongside the new Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone, Redmi also announced a refreshed version of its notebook called simply as the RedmiBook 14 Enhanced. The new generation model starts at the same price as the first-generation RedmiBook 14 but offers the latest 10th generation i5 and i7 processor options. Naturally, given the competitive price tag, the RedmiBook 14 Enhanced edition has garnered tremendous popularity in China.

In fact, Redmi announced earlier today that the notebook has managed to receive over 1.5 million bookings for its first sale scheduled for September 6 across all sales channels in China. This is a pretty big deal considering the booking isn’t free. Only users who are ready to shell out 100 Yuan (~14) are eligible for the sale.

RedmiBook 14 Enhanced version’s popularity isn’t surprising. Starting at just 3999 Yuan ($557), the notebook offers the latest 10th generation Core i5 processor with 8GB RAM, 512GB Storage, and NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics. The top-end version comes with Core i7 for just 4999 Yuan (~$697). At this price, you get a 14-inch FULL HD anti-glare display with narrow bezels, HDMI and USB 3.0 ports, a large battery which can last up to 10 hours and fast charging which charges up to 50% in 35 minutes.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has made its big move in establishing itself as an independent brand. After announcing the flagship Redmi K20 Pro and K20 models, Redmi has made its entry in the notebook market with the brand new RedmiBook 14. The new notebook offers powerful internals in a portable form factor, for professionals on the move.

The RedmiBook 14 will run parallel to Xiaomi’s own Mi Notebooks and comes with an all metal sandblasted anodized body. The laptop features a 14-inch Full HD display with narrow 5.75mm bezels and a solid 81.2% screen to body ratio. The screen comes with an anti-glare matte coating to ensure good display visibility in the daytime. The Redmi notebook is relatively lightweight at 1.5Kgs and comes with a 19mm full-sized keyboard. Unlike the new MacBooks, the RedmiBook boasts a number of ports like HDMI, 2 x USB 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB 2.0 port.

Inside, the RedmiBook 14 will offer up to Intel Core i7 (8565U) with NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics. There’s a couple of cheap i5 options as well. You can choose up to 512GB SSD storage. The new notebook comes with an efficient cooling system and boasts a long 10 hours of battery life. It supports ultra-low power standby as well as Xiaomi’s Smart Unlock 2.0, wherein you can unlock the RedmiBook 14 in just 1.2 seconds with your Mi Band 3. Other features include DTS surround sound and genuine Microsoft Office Home and Student editions.

Pricing for the RedmiBook 14 are as follows:

• i5 + 256GB – 3999 Yuan ($579)
• i5 + 512GB – 4299 Yuan ($622)
• i7 + 512GB – 4999 Yuan ($723)

Appointments for the first sale starts on June 1, and the laptop will go on sale on June 11 at exactly 12 AM.

The RedmiBook 14 is indeed a compelling product in the laptop segment. In its pursuit of diversification, expect a lot more such products from Redmi in the coming months.

Tomorrow is the day a lot of us have been waiting for. Redmi will announce its highly-anticipated first flagship phone, the Redmi K20 Pro and an upper mid-range variant which will ditch the “Pro” suffix. But those aren’t the only two products launching tomorrow. The Xiaomi subsidiary will also announce its first laptop – the RedmiBook 14, and it has just released the first official teaser for it.

The teaser poster was shared on the Weibo page and it shows a side view of the laptop. We can’t make out any features but the device does look thin. The caption doesn’t reveal any info too, not even the official name.

The RedmiBook 14 was seen on the Bluetooth SIG website a few weeks ago. It has the model number XMA1901-** with several model variants which might mean international availability. The laptop’s specs have also leaked. It is expected to come with an Intel processor in Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 configurations with 4GB/8GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB of storage. The higher specced model is said to have NVIDIA’s GeForce MX250 GPU.

At the last Redmi event in China, the new company announced its first non-phone related product – the Redmi 1A washing machine. Its next event is rumored to be on May 13 where it will unveil its Snapdragon 855-powered flagship phone. Alongside the phone, it has been reported Redmi will launch “one more thing”.

There are speculations as to what the second product may be with some even saying it might be a smart home device. A new leak we came across suggests that may not be true. According to a tweet by Sudhanshu Ambhore, the second product is actually a Redmi laptop!

#Redmi will also release their Laptops under #Redmi branding (like #Xiaomi's Mi Notebook) with their flagship phone.

Yes, the leaker says, Redmi will also release their laptops (more than one) just like Xiaomi’s Mi Notebook, along with their flagship phone.

We haven’t gotten any proof to back up this info but it doesn’t seem far-fetched. Xiaomi already makes computers, so it won’t be hard for its spin-off company to also release its own models. Think of it as how Huawei and Honor both release computers under the MateBook and MagicBook line respectively.

The Redmi laptop will definitely have a cheaper price tag than Xiaomi’s current offerings but may also skip on some features such as a dedicated graphics card or use less-expensive materials such as a plastic chassis. However, the sad thing is the Redmi Notebook may be a China-exclusive product.
