Xiaomi continues to expand its laptop portfolio with the launch of two new RedmiBook laptops in its home country, China. As promised, the RedmiBook 14 II and RedmiBook 16 have made their debut today with an almost bezel-less screen, latest 10th-Gen Intel Core processors, and Nvidia GPUs in tow.
RedmiBook 14 II & RedmiBook 16: Specs
Both the RedmiBook 14 II and RedmiBook 16 boast a metal construction. They arrive with different paint jobs though. The former has a single silver color variant while the latter is available to buy in metallic gray – giving it a MacBook vibe as usual. They look like the Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition that was launched in India earlier last month.
The design of the two laptops is also pretty similar and so are the internal specs. You will notice some minor differences in the display and battery department. The CPU, GPU, and port selection are exactly the same.
