  • Review Summary

    Last year, Xiaomi released two new laptops under their Redmi sub-brand in India. These are the RedmiBook Pro and RedmiBook 15 E-Learning Edition. Both the laptops were introduced in the Indian market as the very first laptops from Redmi. From the latest Core i5 11th Gen chipset to a 512GB SSD, there are multiple things that the laptop does right.

    For the purpose of this review, I got my hands on the RedmiBook Pro Core i5 11th Gen 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD variant. It was either this or the RedmiBook 15 E-Learning Edition and I had to choose the Pro variant because of the major step-up in performance you get to see. Although the laptop does get things right in certain aspects, it is the major flaws that make it miss the mark.

    The Intel Core i5 Tiger Lake H-35 11th Gen processor is definitely not the weakness here. So, let us take an in-depth dive into what I think the RedmiBook Pro does right and what it doesn’t. This review will be covering each and every vital section that will determine your decision to get the laptop ultimately or just let it be.

    PROS

    • Big display of 15.6 inches
    • Big trackpad and nicely spaced out keys on the keyboard
    • Comes with an in-built webcam
    • Intel Core i5 11th Gen Tiger Lake H-35 CPU
    • Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, SD Card Reader and Kensington Lock as well
    • 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD makes everything faster

    CONS

    • Display is very average with pretty low brightness levels
    • There is no dedicated GPU for the price that it comes in
    • Not future proof as there is only one storage slot

    RedmiBook Pro Price, Variants & Availability

    The RedmiBook Pro price in India was originally set at Rs. 49,999. This is the price set for the single 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD variant. Sadly, we do not get another variant for this.

    Had there been another variant to go with, say, a 1TB HDD/256GB SSD variant to go with, it would have been great. However, you do have the RedmiBook 15 E-Learning Edition which starts Rs. 37,999 in the country.

    You can get your hands on the RedmiBook Pro via Amazon at Rs. 47,999 currently. There are additional offers to make use of as well.

    Verdict

    My overall experience with the RedmiBook Pro is a bit of a mixed bag. While I really liked the solid zero-stutter performance of the laptop, a couple of other things genuinely were a bit of a no-no. If you are okay with a very average display that is not one-bit colour accurate or punchy, you can go ahead with it. Sadly, it doesn’t end there. It just does not seem worth it for the price you will be paying for the laptop. Would it be worth it had it been priced at, say, around Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 45,000? TOTALLY. It would have been an absolute value-for-money laptop to go for.

    This would have been the right kind of pricing to back up the Redmi branding as we know it. The integrated chipset would have made sense as well. However, if the Mi Notebook is offering you a dedicated GPU at a lower price, why would you choose the RedmiBook Pro over it anyway? It all comes down to perspective and how you will not mind the average display and pricing of the laptop. Keeping these things in mind, I hope your questions have been answered.
