After just recently teasing the availability of the RedmiBook 15 in Malaysia yesterday, Xiaomi has surprised Malaysian customers by launching the company’s RedmiBook 15 laptop today!

The RedmiBook 15 will be officially on sale in Malaysia from June 6th onwards via Xiaomi’s official online channels via Lazada and Shoppe and Xiaomi’s official offline retail stores as well. Surprisingly, the RedmiBook 15 is coming with 2 different processor configurations in the country, as opposed to 1 option only in Indonesian markets. The official retail prices of the RedmiBook 15 series in Malaysia is as follows:

• Intel Core i3-1115G4, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD – RM 2,399 (547 USD)
• Intel Core i5-11300H, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD – RM 2,799 (638 USD)

However, for the early bird promotional launch sale, Xiaomi is discounting the devices by up to RM500 from June 6th to June 30th. Buyers who bought the RedmiBook 15 laptop at offline retail stores also get a free Mi Casual Backpack (worth RM69 / 16 USD) as part of the early bird launch sale. The early bird prices of the RedmiBook 15 laptop configurations are:

• Intel Core i3-1115G4, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD – RM 1,899 (433 USD)
• Intel Core i5-11300H, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD – RM 2,499 (570 USD)

The RedmiBook 15 is the company’s first-ever laptop in the country and surprisingly this is the first time Xiaomi has launched the Intel Core i5-11300H quad-core CPU in its RedmiBook 15 lineup. The other configuration, the Intel Core i3-1115G4 was already seen before in the Chinese, Indian and Indonesian markets.

The screen of the RedmiBook 15 is a 15.6-inch FHD IPS LCD Display that has a 720p webcam housed above it. The device is housed within a thin and lightweight metal chassis, that only weighs in at 1.8 kilograms and 19.9 millimetres. It features a 2W stereo speaker setup and a large touchpad.

The RedmiBook 15 has a 46Wh battery that Xiaomi claims can deliver up to 10 hours of battery life. Unfortunately, the laptop does not charge via USB-C. Instead, a barrel-plug charger is included in the box. Xiaomi claims that with the bundled charger in the box, you can juice up 50% of the battery in just 33 minutes.

Ports and connectivity-wise, the RedmiBook 15 only supports the older WiFi 5 standard and has one HDMI port, 2 USB 3.0 connectors, one Ethernet port, one USB 2.0 connector, one 3.5 mm headphone jack and one SD card reader.

The RedmiBook 15 comes in with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and two storage options: a 256GB SATA SSD or a faster 512GB NVME SSD. The laptop comes with Windows 11 Home out of the box.

A new iteration of the RedmiBook Pro is all set to debut on March 17th, 2022 alongside the Redmi K50 series, according to the Xiaomi Notebook official Weibo account.

The official poster for the launch says that the RedmiBook Pro 2022 will “challenge the peak performance of thin and light notebooks.” From this, it’s easy to ascertain that the laptop will focus greatly on performance.

Previous leaks had shown that at least one of the variants of the RedmiBook Pro will be equipped with the high-end 12th Gen Core i7-12650H processor. This one managed to score 1,800 and 11,872 in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively, which is a significant improvement over the previous generation.

The i7-12650H has a basic power consumption of 45W, and comprises 6 large cores and 4 small cores clocked up to 4.7GHz, 16 threads, and 24MB L3 cache.

In addition, according to Redmi GM Lu Weibing’s comments under the same post, the new product will use updated tech to greatly improve heat dissipation.

Along with the RedmiBook Pro 2022 models and the Redmi K50 series, the March 17 launch event has also been teased to lift the curtains on new Redmi TVs and routers.

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.

The much-rumored RedmiBook was recently teased and it was finally scheduled to launch on August 3 in India.

Today, we are rounding up everything we know so far about the RedmiBook for India.

Xiaomi RedmiBook(India) – What to Expect? 

Which RedmiBook model can we expect?

Initially, Redmi did not disclose which model it will debut, nor did it show any of its designs. But, rumors suggested that the company will launch the RedmiBook 15 laptop at a budget price range in India.

Soon after it was rumored, the company confirmed the laptop’s arrival by creating a landing page on its official website. After corroborating the past leaks and the details received from the landing page, we’ve learned plenty of details about the laptop.

The upcoming RedmiBook 15 will feature the same design as the other RedmiBook laptop models launched in China. As the name suggests, it is expected to feature a 15.6-inch display with a Full-HD resolution. It will be an LCD screen with a thin-bezel design.

The laptop will have a similar design footprint to that of Apple’s MacBooks. It will have a Redmi branding below the display and feature a chiclet-style keyboard.

Cameras, Hardware, Software

According to the leaks, the RedmiBook 15 for India will have an HD webcam. It is expected to come powered by Inter’s 11th generation Core i3 and Core i5 processors paired with 8GB of RAM. It will come in two variants – a base 256GB of PCIe SSD storage variant and a higher 512GB of PCIe SSD storage variant.

The laptop will come with two 2W speakers making it produce a stereo sound experience. It is expected to come with a battery that will last for up to 10 hours and support 65W fast charging technology. The Notebook will run on Windows 10 operating system.

Tecno Pova 2 – August 2

Tecno is bringing its Pova 2 to India on Monday, August 2 after a launch in the Philippines last month. The phone’s selling point is its 7000mAh battery capacity. The design is cool too but the rest of the specs are what you will find on the average mid-range phone.

Infinix Smart 5A – August 2

Infinix, a sister company to Tecno, will also announce a new phone for the Indian market on Agust 2. The Infinix Smart 5A is a budget smartphone that will have a 5000mAh battery, dual rear cameras, and an HD+ display.

RedmiBook – August 3

India will be getting new RedmiBook laptops on Tuesday, August 3. Among the expected models is the RedmiBook 15 and it will be powered by Intel’s 11th Gen processor. It has also been reported that it will have a 65W charger.

The manufacturer will also announce a smartphone called the Realme Flash and it will be the first Android phone to support magnetic wireless charging.

It has been six month since the iQOO 7 was announced and now a successor is on the way – actually two successors. The iQOO 8 and iQOO 8 Pro will be announced on August 4 and they are expected to come with a brand new flagship display and the Snapdragon 888 Plus processor.

Xiaomi has already confirmed that the company will be launching its new RedmiBook laptop in the Indian market on 3rd August. The launch will mark the debut of the Redmi-branded notebook device in India.

Apart from the launch date, the brand has not revealed anything about the laptop. But, details about the upcoming product have already leaked online, and now the latest leak coming via 91Mobiles sheds light on the device’s specifications and pricing details.

The China-based company is gearing up to launch RedmiBook 15 in India on 3rd August which will come with a 15.6-inch display offering a Full-HD screen resolution. The panel is likely to be an LCD screen.

Under the hood, the device will be powered by Intel‘s 11th generation Core i3 and Core i5 processors, coupled with 8GB of RAM. The laptop will come in two PCIe SSD options — 256GB and 512GB.

The laptop will offer dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v5.0 as connectivity options. Unlike the brand’s first Mi Notebook in India, this one will come with an HD webcam so the users won’t need to attach the webcam separately.

Taking care of the audio needs will be two 2W speakers, most probably in a stereo configuration. As for the ports, the device will come with USB Type-C 3.1, USB Type-A, USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio jack.

In the software department, the laptop will be running the Windows 10 operating system. Currently, there’s no information about the battery capacity but the leak says that the device will come with a 65W charger.

As for the pricing, the leak indicates that the laptop should be priced under ₹50,000 in the Indian market, which is roughly around $672. The device, which is expected to come in Charcoal grey color, will compete against the offerings from Acer and Asus, and most likely the upcoming Realme Book that is expected to go official in August.

Xiaomi has said that it aims to broaden its device portfolio in the Indian market and in line with that, the brand will be launching products like power banks, earbuds, smart bands, and more, which would complement its smartphones and the users’ lifestyles.

Earlier today (27th July 2021), Xiaomi sub brand, Redmi, announced that it will be launching its own laptops in India on 3rd August 2021. The new notebooks will be a part of its RedmiBook lineup and will expand the brand’s product offerings in the region.

The Chinese smartphone maker announced that it aims to broaden its device portfolio in India and aims on launching products like power banks, earbuds, smart bands, and more, which would compliment its smartphones and the users’ lifestyles. Previously, the company had even teased the arrival of the laptops during the Redmi Note 10T launch conference. Now, we have an official date for the announcement of the upcoming laptops.

Unfortunately, we have no finer details as to which models the company would be launching in India at the moment. Although, the brand had recently announced certain new models for its home market of China. Back in May 2021, the company announced the new RedmiBook Pro 14 and 15 laptops in China. These laptops feature AMD’s latest Ryzen 5000 series processors instead of the Intel chipsets that were found in the previous iterations.

Thus, we might see similar notebooks launching in India as well that could sport either a 14 inch or 15 inch panel. Furthermore, the RedmiBook Pro series in China arrived with DDR4 RAM and NVMe PCIe SSD storage as well, which was also offered in the Mi Notebook lineup that Xiaomi had launched in India in the past. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding the new laptops.

The post Xiaomi to launch RedmiBook laptops in India on August 3 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today (20th July 2021), Redmi had held an online launch event in India in which it unveiled its latest smartphone, the Note 10T 5G. During this live stream on YouTube, the company also teased the launch of its RedmiBook series of laptops in the region.

At the end of the live stream, the Chinese smartphone maker teased the arrival of various products. This includes smartphones, power banks, Redmi Audio, Fitness, upcoming smart TVs, and right before the end it spelt out the incompleted “RedmiBoo,” which clearly implies the brand’s own lineup of notebooks. Unfortunately, this is all the information the company shared regarding this matter as of right now.

In other words, we have nothing but this split second teaser to go on at the moment. Although, this does mean that the company is finally bringing its laptops to the region, which could be beneficial to the company as work from home/ remote working along with online education lifestyles are still common amid the pandemic. Furthermore, if Redmi follows its value for money philosophy with laptops, we might see capable hardware in aggressively priced notebooks.

Previously, Xiaomi had also launched its Mi Notebook 14 laptops in India that saw strong sales at its price point. So, this could’ve been one of the reasons why even its subsidiary will be launching its own RedmiBook series as well. We had also recently reported that the new RedmiBooks arriving in India and are rebranded Mi Notebook Pro and Mi Notebook Ultra 15 that have launched 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.

The Redmi K40 and Redmi K40 Pro are not the only products Redmi will unveil on February 25. The manufacturer has also announced that it has a new Windows notebook coming that will launch as the RedmiBook Pro. Now a teaser poster shared today gives us an early look and it shows it is missing a feature.

The RedmiBook Pro is pictured showing off its metal chassis. The screen is half-opened, giving us a look at the bezels which appear to be pretty slim. Definitely not the thinnest we have seen on a notebook but noticeably slimmer than that of a lot of computers.

Redmi has gone for an island-style keyboard. However, there isn’t a dedicated numeric keypad which seems to be a bummer, and its lack thereof may be a dealbreaker for those who find the feature a necessity. Our guess is that this is the 14-inch model of the RedmiBook Pro, so there is a chance the 15-inch model might have a numeric keypad.

The poster also shows that the notebook has a wide trackpad below the keyboard and a groove in the chassis that should make it easy to lift the screen open.

The RedmiBook is shown in silver but we may also get a gray variant. Though we really wouldn’t mind seeing manufacturers experiment with brighter colors when it comes to notebooks.

Redmi will not only announce the RedmiBook Pro in multiple sizes but it has also been reported that it will come in Intel and AMD versions.

Earlier today (26th January 2021), Xiaomi released a new promotional image poster for its upcoming RedmiBook Pro laptop. The teaser image shared offered us a small glimpse of the notebook, which is confirmed to feature a webcam on the front.

For those unaware, back in 2020, the Chinese tech giant had launched the RedmiBook 14 and RedmiBook 16 laptops. These notebooks did not feature a front facing camera, which had led to quite a number of its prospective buyers being disappointed. While buying an external camera might offer better clarity, but it does incur an additional cost to the user. But now, it seems like Xiaomi has listened to its customers and has included the webcam again in its laptop offering.

Looking at the promotional image, we can observe that the front camera will be housed on the top, as is the case with most laptops. So, we can expect to see it on the top bezel region. Talking about the specifications of the laptop itself, the company’s previous teases had pointed at the laptop featuring an Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake series processor, with a display that features 2K resolution.

For storage, Xiaomi is said to offer an NVMe solid state hard drive, along with a Type C port, which supports PD protocol charging as well. Furthermore, other features include fingerprint scanning for biometric security, backlight keyboards, and a new metallic body. Unfortunately, that is all we have to go on at the moment, so stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

Xiaomi-backed Redmi has already entered the laptop space with its RedmiBook range of notebooks. Expanding the portfolio, the company has today quietly launched a new laptop in China — RedmiBook Air 13.

The device is now up for pre-order in the company’s home market with a deposit of 100 yuan and will go on sale from 17th August. In terms of design, the laptop comes with an all-metal body but the company says that it is ultra-light in weight at just 1.05kg and measures just 12.99mm in thickness.

A couple of days ago, Redmi had revealed that it will be launching RedmiBook 16 powered by the latest Intel Core i7 processor and keeping its promise, the company has today officially launched the new device in its home market China.

The company already has a RedmiBook 16 laptop which was launched a few months ago, powered by the AMD Ryzen 4000-series processor. But this new version comes powered by the latest 10th generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors.

The new RedmiBook 16 comes with a 16.1-inch FHD display and offers around 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. As said, it packs either Intel Core i5-1035G1 or Core i7-1065G7 chipsets, along with Intel Iris Plus graphics and 2GB DDR5 NVIDIA GeForce MX350.

The laptop comes with up to 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM and 512GB SSD. Connectivity options on the device include Wi-Fi 802.11ax 2×2 MIMO (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth 5.1, 1 x USB 3.1 Gen1 port, 1x USB 2.0, 2 x USB-C, and 1 x HDMI 1.4.

It also has two 2W speakers and supports DTS audio. The laptop also has a 6mm heat pipe for maximum heat transfer and a 30% large fan for cooling. It has a full-sized keyboard with 1.5mm key travel and 0.3mm custom keycap.

It can offer up to 12 hours of local video playback, up to 9 hours of online video playback, and up to 8.5 hours of web browsing.

The RedmiBook 16 powered by the Intel Core i5 chipset is priced at 4,999 yuan while the Intel Core i7-powered model is priced at 5,699 yuan. Both the models will be available for purchase in China in Gray color from 15th July.

Xiaomi-backed Redmi has expanded to a lot of different product categories from smartphones ever since it started working as an independent brand. Recently, the company had launched three models of its RedmiBook laptop — RedmiBook 13, 14, and 16, powered by the AMD Ryzen chipset.

Now, the company is all set to launch a new laptop in its home market, China. The teasers shared by the company announcing the same confirms that a new RedmiBook 16 model powered by the latest Intel processor will be launched on 8th July.

The upcoming RedmiBook 16 is confirmed to be powered by the latest 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor, based on a 10nm manufacturing process. Apart from this, nothing much has been revealed by the company at this point in time.

However, similar to the 16-model powered by the AMD Ryzen 4000-series processor, we expect the upcoming RedmiBook 16 Intel-powered models to pack almost the same set of specifications and features.

We expect the laptop to come packed with 8/16 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD. There could also be an optional dedicated GPU for intensive graphics-related stuff. It could also have a good screen-to-body ratio and better than average battery life.

For those who are unaware, the recently launched Ryzen 4000-series powered RediBook starts at 3,799 yuan (~$539) for the 13-inch model and goes up to 4,499 yuan (~$638) for the top-end variant with the 16-inch model. For the upcoming Intel-powered 16-inch model, we expect the pricing to start above 3,999 yuan (~$567).

Xiaomi recently unveiled the highly anticipated Mi Notebook laptops in India. The Mi Notebook 14 comes with a starting price of Rs. 41,999 ($554) whereas the Mi Notebook 14 Horizon starts at Rs. 54,999 (~$725). A fresh report on TechPP reveals that Xiaomi India is planning to bring Redmi branded laptops to India with a starting price tag of less than Rs. 20,000 (~$264).

Before Xiaomi introduced the new Mi Notebooks in India, Mi fans were expecting the devices to carry cheaper price tags. Leading laptop brands in India are selling around notebooks that are priced around Rs. 25,000 (~$330). In order to rival with these notebooks, Xiaomi seems to be gearing up to launch new notebooks with Redmi branding in India.

The publications state that the RedmiBooks may start at less than Rs. 20,000 in the country. The report further mentions that the notebook could feature the Intel Core i3 processor and lower. Also, the RedmiBooks may come with the older generation Intel Core i5 processor.

The Core i3 RedmiBooks may start at less than Rs. 25,000 while the less powerful models may cost lower than Rs. 20,000. The highest model could be priced around Rs. 33,000 (~$435). The RedmiBooks are expected to be manufactured in India. And also, the Redmi laptops are said to be quite different from the RedmiBooks that have launched in China.

The upcoming RedmiBooks could be aimed towards students and people who are looking for budget-friendly laptops. These devices won’t have premium appeal like the Mi Notebooks since their construction will have more plastic. Also, the RedmiBooks for India may not have the same kind of RAM and storage that are available on the Mi Notebooks. However, the Redmi laptops will have attractive design and color options and they are expected to offer long-lasting battery life of around 10 hours. The Redmi notebooks are also expected to offer users a wide range of connectivity options and ports. Lastly, the Redmi notebooks will be running on Windows 10 Home edition.

The arrival of the RedmiBooks in India could be timed with the re-opening of schools and colleges in the country. Hence, there is a possibility that the Redmi notebooks may launch around mid-July to mid-August.

Original Story

Xiaomi has been launching new products in the Indian market at regular intervals, along with introducing new product categories. After years of waiting, the company is finally bringing its much-awaited product in the Indian market — laptops.

The company recently started teasing the arrival of Xiaomi laptops in the Indian market but Xioami has not yet confirmed which model is getting unveiled. But now, information about this has leaked online.

As per the report, Xiaomi will be launching its laptop in the Indian market on 11th June. Although the laptop is said to be the RedmiBook 13, it will be rebranded and launched under the company’s Mi brand in India.

The leaked teaser images of the upcoming product showcase a 13-inch bezel-less display and Intel Core i7 processor. However, we expect the company to offer the product in other chipset configuration as well.

Although Xiaomi is known for making affordable products, which is actually the reason behind its massive success in markets like India, the upcoming laptops won’t be priced aggressively. Raghu Reddy, the chief business officer at Xiaomi India recently said that the company won’t follow the smartphone model of affordability, and will instead be targeting the laptops for creators, students, and gamers.

The RedmiBook 13, which was unveiled in China in December last year, comes with a 13.3-inch Full HD display with an 89 percent screen-to-body ratio. It is powered by the 10th-generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce MX250 GPU, along with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.

As for the pricing, in the Chinese market, the Core i5 model of RedmiBook is priced at 4,199 yuan which is about ₹44,500 (~$588) while the Core i7 model costs 5,199 yuan that roughly converts to ₹55,000 (~$728).

It remains to be seen how the company prices the Mi laptop in the Indian market. Xiaomi is yet to officially announce the launch date for the laptops but we expect the company to do so in the coming days.

Although, the Mi Notebook Pro 15 Enhanced Edition, with Intel 10th Gen chips, is more likely to see an Indian launch.

The new Mi Notebook house up to 16GB of RAM and NVIDIA’s mobile gaming processor, the MX250. These kinds of specs are generally seen in high end or premium notebooks in India. With the inclusion of the Intel 10th Gen chips, the laptops offer great battery and performance as well. This laptop was launched back in October and may finally arrive in the Indian market soon.

The senior executive stated that the new generation of the company’s notebook laptops will feature AMD’s latest mobile processor lineup.

These processors offer great multithreaded computing power along with a lower overall TDP. Its 8 core CPU with 16 threads operates on just a 15W TDP limit, which is quite impressive. This translates to the RedmiBook laptop series being very power efficient.

In other words, an 18 hour battery life is being promised by the company. The upcoming RedmiBook series will arrive in a 16.1 inch and 15 inch model, with a screen to body ratio of 90 percent.

The reservation pages have a countdown timer that currently reads 13 days remaining. This means the notebooks should launch by May 25.

The notebooks are not the only expected devices to launch on that day. Lu Weibing teased earlier today that the Dimensity 800-powered Redmi phone will launch soon. This may be the smartphone that will launch alongside the aforementioned notebooks.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Xiaomi had trademarked the RedmiBook monicker in the Indian market, hinting at the arrival of the first laptop from the brand in the Indian market. In line with that, the RedmiBook 14 received approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), confirming that the device is indeed gearing up for an official launch in the market.

Now, it seems that the launch is around the corner. Tipster Ishan Agarwal claims that Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India MD and Xiaomi Global Vice President has said in an online meeting to retailers that the Redmi laptop will get launched in India as soon as possible.

However, there’s no timeline for the launch of the device or its availability revealed yet. But it confirms that the comment was for the laptops only from the brand and not any other device, such as Mi Pad.

While Manu Kumar Jain has not confirmed which laptop will get launched, it’s already known given that the RedmiBook 14 has already been certified in India. The BIS listing shows multiple variants of the same.

Along with the Redmi K20 series smartphones, the brand had launched the RedmiBook 14 in China in May last year. Later, the company had launched Enhanced Edition of the same as well as other variant with Ryzen processors.

The pricing for the RedmiBook 14 AMD Ryzen 5 8GB RAM + 512GB storage version starts at 3,299 yuan (approximately $464) and the top-end AMD Ryzen 7 16 GB RAM + 512GB storage version is priced at 3,999 yuan (approximately $563).

News of the RedmiBook launching in India first surfaced at the beginning of January when it was discovered that Xiaomi/Redmi India had applied for a trademark for “RedmiBook” at the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

Redmi announced its first PC, the RedmiBook 14 back in May 2019. A few months later, it announced a new model called the RedmiBook 14 Enhanced Edition with Intel’s 10th Gen processors. Then in October, it followed it up with models powered by AMD’s Ryzen processors. Just before the end of the year, it unveiled a smaller model called the RedmiBook 13.

We do not know which of the aforementioned models of the RedmiBook will be announced tomorrow but we are excited nonetheless. This will be Xiaomi/Redmi’s very first computer sold in India and it remains to be seen if it can challenge other big-name brands in the Indian PC market.

Xiaomi-backed Redmi had promised to launch four category of products at today’s launch event in China — laptop, router, smart speaker, and smartphones. As promised, the company has introduced new RedmiBook series.

The RedmiBook 13 is making its debut today and Lu Weibing, now Chairman of Xiaomi China, has emphasised that the device comes with narrow bezels on all four sides to offer full-screen experience to users.

As the name itself suggests, the RedmiBook 13 comes with a 13.3-inch Full HD+ display that offers 89 percent screen-to-body ratio. The company says that the size of the laptop is even smaller than that of A4-sized paper as it covers only 96 percent of A4 paper.

To make sure that the device remains cool even after heavy usage, the company has added an advanced cooling system. This new laptop from Redmi comes with a new hurricane cooling system which includes a wing fan and a built-in 6mm diameter double heat pipe, which increases the maximum heat transfer by 70 percent.

Further, the new RedmiBook 13 also comes with Xiaomi’s mutual transmission support which the company claims can achieve network-less transmission between PC and mobile phone as well as between PC and PC. The laptop is running on Microsoft Windows 10 Home operating system and comes with pre-installed Office Student edition.

Redmi will be holding the launch event for the Redmi K30 series tomorrow, 10th December 2019. It is not strictly a smartphone conference and will also feature the new products from the company like its new notebook computer, RedmiBook. However, prior to the official announcement, the live images of the RedmiBook have already surfaced online.

According to the images, we can observe the design of the RedmiBook. The yet to be announced notebook features minimal bezels on surrounding the screen with a high screen to body ratio. Furthermore, RedmiBook is a relatively small laptop with a screen size closer to 13-inches. It is no surprise considering it was labeled as a “lightweight player” by the Xiaomi subsidiary, although larger variants might also be announced.

This includes the Intel Core i7 processor of the latest 10th Generation which features a maximum core frequency of 4.9GHz. For graphics, it will feature NVIDIA‘s MX250 graphics card with 2GB of VRAM that is great for gaming and productivity purposes. In other words, the specs show that it is a capable ultrabook.

Notably, the company has already launched the 15.6 inch and 14 inch models which also featured similar specs with 10th Gen Intel processors. Lastly, the 14 inch Enhanced Edition carried a price tag of 3,299 Yuan, so the 13 inch model is could be priced similarly or lower than its larger variant.
