Xiaomi just dropped its latest REDMI Book 2027 series. Updated processors, a cleaner design, and some pretty bold battery claims are the main highlights.
Both laptops use an all-metal aluminum alloy chassis on the A, C, and D sides and come in a few color options. The 14-inch model is nicely portable at about 1.28 kg and 13.95 mm thick. The 16-inch one tips the scales at roughly 1.56 kg and 14.35 mm.
Under the hood, you’re getting Intel’s Wildcat Lake processors built on the 18A process. The options are the Core 5 320 (6 cores/6 threads, up to 4.6 GHz) and Core 7 350 (also 6 cores/6 threads, up to 4.8 GHz), both with Intel Graphics. They pair with fast LPDDR5X-7467 memory and a dual-fan cooling setup with 10 mm heat pipes that Xiaomi says can hold a steady 30W.
The REDMI Book 16 is the one that really stands out on the display front. It has a 16-inch 16:10 panel at 2560×1600 with a 120Hz refresh rate, 400 nits brightness, full sRGB coverage, DC dimming, and TÜV Rheinland low blue light and flicker-free certifications. Battery life is the other big talking point: a 72Wh pack (rated 68.3Wh) that Xiaomi claims can deliver up to 19.5 hours of simulated office use and more than a full day of local video playback.
Ports include: two full-function USB-C 3.2 Gen2, HDMI 2.1, two USB-A ports, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. On the software side, you get Super Xiao Ai 2.0 for AI productivity features and the usual deep Xiaomi ecosystem integration for cross-device stuff.
Price and availability
There are 14-inch and 16-inch models, each available in two configurations. The REDMI Book 14 2027 starts at 6,799 yuan (around $1019) for the Core 5 320 with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Step up to the Core 7 350 with 16GB + 1TB and you’re looking at 7,999 yuan (around $1199). The 16-inch version starts a bit higher at 6,999 yuan (around $1049) and goes up to 8,199 yuan (around $1229) for the top config.
The laptops go on sale in China on November 3, and early buyers get a free 20,000mAh power bank thrown in.
