Xiaomi’s RedmiBook 14 is like the MacBook Air at half the price

As if Xiaomi's Mi teBook Air lineup wasn’t eugh, its newly independent sub-brand Redmi is also joining bandwagon of affordable yet feature-packed laptops. Its debut product, called simply RedmiBook 14, undercuts Apple’s MacBook Air in price – and yet surprisingly, it doesn’t miss out on anything substantial so as to speak. Xiaomi’s RedmiBook 14 is a lot like MacBook Air at half price. 

14-inch RedmiBook packs 8th-Gen Intel Core CPUs and up to 512GB SSD stor inside an all familiar all-metal chassis - that weighs just a little over 1kg. More specifically, RedmiBook will be available in Core i5 (256GB/512GB) and Core i7 (512GB) configurations with 8GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics.  

RedmiBook will be initially available in China at a starting price of CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs 40,400) for base version with Intel Core i5 CPU and 256GB SSD, going all way to CNY 4,999 (roughly Rs 50,400) for top-end version with Intel Core i7 CPU and 512GB SSD.  

RedmiBook has a 14-inch full-HD screen and up to 10 hours of battery life – re's fast charging like Mi teBook Air though. Connectivity options include 2 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, HDMI port, and 3.5mm audio jack. re’s also DTS Surround Sound. 

Mi tebook Air has long been regarded as Xiaomi's take on Apple's MacBook Air - only, it is much more aggressively priced in comparison. w, even Redmi has joined pack giving buyers yet ar option to pick from – especially in China. Xiaomi is yet to launch any of its laptops in India – RedmiBook is also exclusive to China and it is yet to be seen if Xiaomi ever brings it to more markets including in India in days to come.  

Speaking of things coming soon, Xiaomi’s Redmi has also launched Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in China alongside RedmiBook and both se phones are expected to arrive in India in days to come.
