The Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 has a 14″ screen with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 px (16:10) and a dynamic refresh rate up to 120Hz. The panel covers 100% of sRGB and promises up to 400 nits brightness with DC-dimming. The laptop has an all-metal body that is 15.9 mm thick and weighs 1.46 kg.
The base configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with 4 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores and 2 low-power cores (18 threads total), plus 18 MP L3 cache. It can be configured with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage or 32 GB and 1 TB (the RAM is LPDDR5x 7,467MTs, the SSD is PCIe 4.0).
Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 processor with dual-fan cooling
For more power, there’s the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores and 2 low-power cores (22 threads total), plus 24MB of L3 cache. This one is only available with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD.
The laptop relies on the integrated Intel Arc graphics. The Ultra 5 chip has 7 Xe cores at 2.2GHz, the Ultra 7 gets an extra Xe core and a slightly higher frequency at 2.25GHz. Both support hardware-accelerated ray tracing and have NPU cores that accelerate AI features in applications.
AI tasks include noise reduction, transcription, framing you in the middle of the 1080p webcam and more. WPS AI will help you write documents, summarize existing ones and even help you with formulas for a spreadsheet.
The 14” model has dual fans with dual heat pipes and can be cranked up to 65W TDP. It is powered by an 80Wh battery with 100W charging with a GaN adapter included in the packaging.

The choice of processors is the same – Intel Core Ultra 5 125H or Ultra 7 155H – but this time the only memory configuration is 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The cooling is the same, although the larger body allows the TDP to go slightly higher at 70W.

The 16” laptop is 15.9 mm thick and weighs 1.88 kg. It has a larger 99Wh battery (the biggest you can take on a plane) and comes with a faster 140W GaN adapter.
Charging is done via USB-C. Both laptops have one Thunderbolt 4, one USB-C, two USB-A 3.2 Gen1, an HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Network connection is handled by a Wi-Fi 6 (axe) adapter with 2×2 MIMO, there is also Bluetooth 5.3.
