Xiaomi is ready to dive headfirst into the AI PC era with the upcoming RedmiBook Pro 16 and Pro 14, set to launch on February 27. These new laptops pack Intel Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 5 processors, promising significant AI-powered upgrades that redefine performance, efficiency, and intelligent computing. But with all these advancements, Xiaomi’s Product Marketing Director Ma Zhiyu has already set expectations: a price hike is inevitable but it won’t be artificially inflated.

A Price Hike That’s Hard to Avoid

At the heart of the RedmiBook Pro 2025 is Intel’s second-gen Core Ultra processors, delivering up to 96 TOPS AI computing power, a 150%+ boost in AI performance. This means enhanced system optimizations, on-device AI processing for large models, and intelligent search functions baked directly into the OS. Xiaomi is calling it an “AI-powered professional office laptop,” positioning it as an essential tool for both productivity and creativity.

Beyond AI, Xiaomi has cranked up the hardware to match. The laptop features LPDDR5X 8400MT/s ultra-fast memory, while its new cooling system improves thermal efficiency by 34.4% over last year’s model. Internal tests show impressive gaming performance too—Black Myth: Wukong reportedly runs at an average of 67 fps on the device, peaking at 75 fps and rarely dipping below 59 fps. Even the smaller 14-inch variant will have a Core Ultra 7 option, suggesting serious horsepower across the lineup.

With so many upgrades, a price increase was expected. Ma Zhiyu cites exchange rate shifts, rising CPU costs, and premium hardware as the key factors. However, he insists that Xiaomi won’t inflate prices due to government subsidies, ensuring that consumers are paying for real improvements rather than artificial markups.

For reference, last year’s RedmiBook Pro 2024 series started at 4,999 yuan (~$690). While Xiaomi hasn’t revealed official pricing yet, expect a bump but one that aligns with the growing power under the hood. The full reveal happens on February 27 at 7 PM (CST), when Xiaomi officially pulls back the curtain on its first true AI PC alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and SU7 Ultra.

The post Xiaomi’s first AI PC: RedmiBook Pro 2025 brings AI upgrades, but price hike is inevitable appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Earlier today (20th May 2022), Xiaomi announced that it will be launching a new laptop from its RedmiBook lineup along with the upcoming Redmi Note 11T series. The new model in question is the RedmiBook Pro 2022 Ryzen Edition.

As the name suggests, the new RedmiBook Pro notebook will feature an AMD Ryzen processor. This chip will be a part of the latest Ryzen 6000 family and will be an H series processor that offers high performance. While the company has yet to reveal any finer details regarding this laptop, it did confirm that it will sport a 14 inch display on the front. Furthermore, we can expect it to feature at least DDR4 RAM and SSD storage as well.

The new Ryzen 6000H series processor is based on the Zen 3+ architecture that also includes RDNA 2 GPU architecture as well. Furthermore, the chipset is based on a 6nm process as well. Apart from this, it is also confirmed to be a thin and light laptop, similar to its predecessors. For those unaware, the Chinese tech giant’s RedmiBook Pro series seeks to take on high end notebook offerings like the Apple MacBook.

It offers a metallic design that is thin and light, and primarily geared towards professionals. As of right now, it is unclear if Xiaomi also plans on launching the 2022 RedmiBook Pro Ryzen Edition in a 15.6 inch display variant as well. But stick around for more, as we will be covering the launch event later this month on May 24.

Xiaomi is one of the few smartphone OEMs known for selling laptops. All the notebooks sold by the company run Microsoft Windows 10.

Microsoft unveiled Windows 11 at the end of June. The company started rolling out Insider builds a few days after that. Since then, the firm has been polishing the upcoming version of its operating system before its official release later this year.

Earlier this year, Xiaomi launched the Mi Notebook Pro 2021 in China. Similarly, the company’s sub-brand Redmi released RedmiBook Pro 2021 in its home country. Months later, these laptops have been now updated with new processors, and the company is calling them ‘Enhanced Edition’.

The newly launched Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 2021 Enhanced Edition and RedmiBook Pro 2021 Enhanced Edition feature the exact same set of specifications as the original models. They also come in two different sizes (14-inch, 15.6-inch), just like the older variants.

The only difference between the standard and the ‘Enhanced Edition’ is processors. Apart from that, the new versions even cost the same.

Talking about the dissimilarity, the Enhanced Edition models come with Intel Core i5-11320H and Core i7- 11390H processors instead of Intel Core i5-11300H and Core i7-11370H chipsets present inside the standard variants. 

The new Xiaomi laptops will retail for the following price tags in China.

Back in late February, Redmi launched the RedmiBook Pro 14 and RedmiBook Pro 15 at the Redmi K40 series launch event in China. Three months later, the sub-brand of Xiaomi has released the Ryzen Edition of these two laptops. As the name suggests, the new notebooks from the brand are powered by AMD Ryzen processors instead of Intel chipsets like the original models.

The newly launched RedmiBook Pro 14 Ryzen Edition and RedmiBook Pro 15 Ryzen Edition are identical to the original RedmiBook Pro 14/15 from three months back. Hence, we will be only discussing the differences between them in this article.

The RedmiBook Pro 14 and RedmiBook Pro 15 come with 11th-gen Intel Core i5-11300H and Core i7-11370H. On the other hand, the Ryzen Edition of these notebooks features not two but four different AMD processors.

RedmiBook Pro 14 Ryzen Edition Variants and Price

• AMD Ryzen 5 5500U – ¥4,299 ($672)
• AMD Ryzen 7 5700U – ¥4,699 ($735)

RedmiBook Pro 15 Ryzen Edition Variants and Price

• AMD Ryzen 5 5600H – ¥4,799 ($751)
• AMD Ryzen 7 5800H – ¥5,299 ($829)

Anyway, despite sporting different processors, they feature the same 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM and 512GB PCIe SSD.

Another difference is that due to the presence of AMD processors, the RedmiBook Pro 14/15 Ryzen Edition does not come with a Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C. However, one of the two USB Type-C ports is said to support video output, as per the official website. Hence, we think this port includes DisplayPort 1.4 standard although it’s not officially mentioned.

Apart from the above-mentioned dissimilarities, the RedmiBook Pro 14 Ryzen Edition and the RedmiBook Pro 15 Ryzen Edition are exactly the same as the original RedmiBook Pro 14 and RedmiBook Pro 15.

Earlier today (7th May 2021), a Xiaomi official announced that the company will not be launching any new tablets in this month. But, the official added that new models will be arriving in the second half of this year.

According to Wang Teng Thomas, the Chinese tech giant’s product director, the company will be launching new tablets later this year and not this month. In a reply to a Weibo user, a Chinese microblogging website, the executive stated that the Mi Pad 5 will not be arriving this month but sometime in the second half of 2021. Although, Wang Teng did state that the company will be launching a new notebook around the end of this month.

This new laptop will be the RedmiBook Pro, which will feature the Ryzen processor from AMD. However, the senior official from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer refrained from mentioning any specific dates or details regarding this launch. Talking about the Mi Pad 5, the series will arrive in a base and Pro variant, with the latter featuring an LCD panel that supports 2K resolution along with 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.

The tablet will also support 4096 level touch control along with a stylus as well.
