RedmiBook Pro 2025 Leave a comment
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.

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.
