<li>Speakers are not loud enough</li>
<li>Trackpad could have been better optimised</li>
<li>Port selection not that good</li>
</ul>

Last year towards August end, Xiaomi launched their Mi Notebook Ultra and Mi Notebook Pro during the Xiaomi Smarter Living 2022 event. Both the laptops fall under the mid-range category of laptops, the former being quite literally more Ultra than the latter. For the same reason, I decided to finally go ahead with the Mi Notebook Ultra to give you guys an ultra, in-detail review.
The laptop market in India is growing by leaps and bounds. Now, more than ever, laptop brands are refreshing their lineups to compete with the dynamic market and demands of the customers. The Mi Notebook Ultra is a prime example of such a &#8220;refresh&#8221; done right. Not only do both the Ultra and Pro variants come with an incredible design and build quality, they are significant upgrades over their predecessors in terms of display, performance and pretty much everything that comes to mind.
For this review, I used the Mi Notebook Ultra Intel Core i5 11th Gen variant which comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. There is another variant for the laptop which offers the exact same specs but offers 8GB of RAM instead. It also costs lower so, if you are on a tight budget, this variant will definitely save your money and day. Either way, it is surely worth it. Read on to find out why I think so!

<ul>
<li>3.2K resolution display</li>
<li>90Hz refresh rate panel</li>
<li>Backlit keyboard</li>
<li>Intel Core i5 11th Gen chipset</li>
<li>Amazing design and finish</li>
<li>Lightweight and stylish</li>
<li>Great battery backup</li>
<li>4K video editing capabilities</li>
</ul>

Mi Notebook Ultra Review

The Mi Notebook Ultra price in India starts at Rs. 59,999. This is the price set for the variant that offers Core i5 11th Gen, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. The variant I&#8217;m using for the review, the <a href="https://www.cashify.in/xiaomi-mi-notebook-ultra-core-i5-11th-gen-16-gb-512-gb-ssd-windows-10-laptop-price-in-india">Mi Notebook Ultra</a> 16GB RAM option, comes with a price tag of Rs. 65,499 in the country currently.
<CshComponent name="adSlotSquareComponent" id="_sc641bc1271190d"><property name="slotid">7799905995</property></CshComponent>
These are the only two variants of the laptop. I&#8217;m indeed happy that Xiaomi gave us an 8GB RAM variant as well. It is always better to have at least two options to choose from if you are on a tight budget.
Both these variants are very easily available for purchase via Amazon. You an also head over to the official Mi Store app and get purchase the laptop. There are additional offers to make use of such as discounts on select Debit and Credit cards, Exchange Offers and the like. You can actually get a discount of up to Rs. 18,100 on your old laptop if you put it up for exchange on Amazon.

Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of the Mi Notebook Ultra specs:
Display: 15.6-inch, 3.2K 
Processor: Intel Core i5 11th Gen 
GPU: Intel Iris Xe 
RAM &amp; ROM: 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD 
Software: Windows 11 
Weight: 1.7 kg 
Dimensions: 350.10 x 242.30 x 17.90 mm

I have to say, I was REALLY impressed with the design of the laptop the moment I took a glance at it. Xiaomi seems to have mastered their minimalistic design in notebooks, which is always a good thing. Minimalism appeals to me big time, so the minimal unibody design was an eye candy for me instantly. The review unit I have comes in the Lustrous Grey colour option. Coupled with its Aluminium build, it is indeed the best thing since sliced bread!
I&#8217;m not exaggerating, the design is just too solid to not talk a whole lot about. The very first thing that comes to mind are the traces of Apple MacBook inspiration in the Mi Notebook  Ultra design. Inspiration is always a good thing. Moreover, it is far from being an exact replica but takes the good things about the MacBook build and design and uses them. I checked for flex on the lid and as expected, there was little to none.

Additionally, the laptop is not built out of your regular Aluminium. This is the Aluminium six series alloy we are talking about, sandblasted and anodised. As a result, the moment you run your fingers through the laptop&#8217;s lid, it screams P.R.E.M.I.U.M. The look and feel of the laptop at this price range is just unparalleled for a non-gaming laptop in its class. The Xiaomi minimalistic branding placed at the centre of the lid and at the bottom bezels of the display adds to the premium feel.
Although it is built like a tank, the Mi Notebook Ultra is not at all on the heavier side of things. It weighs just 1.7 kg and offers a thickness of 17.9mm. So, you are actually getting a compact yet sleek partner to carry around easily, everywhere. In case the forgot to mention, you can open the lid with just one hand. Xiaomi nailed the weight distribution as well on this one. The hinge mechanism is really smooth as well. Don&#8217;t try to push it back by 180 degrees though. It doesn&#8217;t do that.
At the bottom, you get four rubber pads on the four corners of the laptop. This offers excellent grip and your laptop will never move out of the position it has been placed. Additionally, the massive air vent placed at the bottom ensures that your Ultra stays ultra cool (more on the Thermals later on in the Performance section).

<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-250807" src="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094622/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Display.jpg" alt="Mi Notebook Ultra Display" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094622/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Display.jpg 1200w, https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094622/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Display-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
The display is an absolute stunner and one of the primary reasons you should go for this Xiaomi offering. There is not a single bad thing that I could quite possibly say about the Mi Notebook Ultra display. It is a 15.6-inch FHD 3.2K display that offers a staggering resolution of 3200 x 2000 pixels. This made viewing anything and everything on this display 10x the delight! This indeed does justify my review&#8217;s headline, doesn&#8217;t it? *wink wink*
Wait till you play the famous Costa Rica 4K video on this laptop. It is bound to take you aback. That is precisely how crisp and detailed content appears on this display. The 16:10 aspect ratio coupled with 89.1 per cent screen-to-body ratio is the cherry on top!
Additionally, you get a whopping 100 per cent sRGB Colour Gamut coverage paired with a 1500:1 Contrast Ratio. Did I mention that the display also brings a 90Hz refresh rate to the table? It is stacked beyond my belief. All of that for the price that you pay? Yes, please!
Everything I did on the laptop got me hooked to the beauty of the display. I binge-watched a lot of content on Netflix and Prime, and it is just a surreal experience, to say the least. You will surely fall in love with the display.

The Mi Notebook Ultra blew my mind away in terms of its performance. There was a point when not only was I carrying out 4K video editing on the laptop but was also multitasking between various apps and had like fifteen tabs open on Chrome. It didn&#8217;t lag. Not one bit. Xiaomi seriously did go all-in on this laptop.

If you are a user like that, the laptop is just excellent. However, I would not recommend you to game on it. It is very powerful and can handle games like PUBG, Valorant, CS Go and the like with ease. I&#8217;m talking over 60 FPS easy peasy in low to medium settings.
Just don&#8217;t expect to play Elden Ring, Marvel&#8217;s Avengers or any of those AAA titles seamlessly. If you are a gamer, there are tons of gaming laptops at this price that offer you the GTX 1650ti. Go for them instead. This laptop is for you if 4K video editing and working is your thing.
The laptop has vents all around, from the bottom to just near the hinge. The dual heat pipes and fan are an added bonus for keeping the laptop cool. Never once did the laptop get &#8220;hot&#8221; hot, if you know what I mean. The thermals have always been so stable on this one. Warm is the word I could use to describe the laptop&#8217;s thermals when under extensive load.
I wouldn&#8217;t expect anything less from the latest Intel Core i5 11th Gen chipset. Besides, the 512GB NVMe SSD acted as a huge catalyst in making the laptop boot up in the blink of an eye. My model comes with 16GB of RAM so, I faced no issues in multitasking and the lot. Always had enough memory to get me through. However, if you decide to go with the 8GB RAM variant, it will not cause any issues, I&#8217;m certain at this point. All-in-all, performance couldn&#8217;t have gotten ANY better on a non-gaming laptop, and I mean every word of it.

<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-250808" src="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094719/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Keyboard-and-Trackpad.jpg" alt="Mi Notebook Ultra Keyboard and Trackpad" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094719/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Keyboard-and-Trackpad.jpg 1200w, https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094719/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Keyboard-and-Trackpad-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
The keyboard doesn&#8217;t have a Num Pad, sigh. But, BIG BUT. All the other things that the keyboard offers make up for this shortcoming. The 1.5mm key travel made my typing experience on the Mi Notebook Ultra very accurate and satisfying. I barely made any typographical errors. There is minuscule to no flex in the keyboard. Hence, the typing experience is very premium.

Furthermore, I really liked was the addition of a fingerprint sensor. The power button doubles down as the sensor and that is a very convenient security feature to have. Instead of typing in your password a million times, just the slightest touch will open up your laptop.
In addition, what makes the Mi Notebook Ultra steal my heart is the fact that it features a backlit keyboard. Moreover, you can adjust the brightness of this backlit keyboard as per your preference. It is a soft-to-the-eyes white colour which makes it all the better. I&#8217;m not too fond of the headache-inducing Red backlit keyboards on laptops.
Moving on to the trackpad, this is where I feel Xiaomi could have put in a tad bit more of an effort. Although the trackpad is pretty responsive and wide enough, it rattles. Rattles at the slightest touch to it. This makes using the trackpad a tad bit of a wonky experience. Then, at the edges, the trackpad did not seem to register my touch a couple of times. Not too many times, but still.

The battery life of the Mi Notebook Ultra is nothing short of amazing. It lasted me about 9-10 hours easily on medium usage. My &#8220;medium&#8221; usage including a whole lot of typing, keeping multiple tabs open, watching a lot of YouTube videos and even binging on my favourite shows for a while. So, the battery life on this laptop is really commendable and makes it an incredible work laptop at this price range.
In addition, you get a 65W fast charger right in the box with the laptop. So, charging it is fast and easy. My unit charged up to 50 per cent in roughly 40-45 minutes from 1 per cent. With the battery backup and charging speed sorted, this Xiaomi offering surely won&#8217;t let you down on that front either.

<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-250809" src="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094809/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Ports.jpg" alt="Mi Notebook Ultra Ports" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094809/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Ports.jpg 1200w, https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/04/05094809/Mi-Notebook-Ultra-Ports-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
The Mi Notebook Ultra offers two 2W stereo speakers. These blast from the bottom, and being completely honest here, are not as loud as I expected them to be. Not on the louder side of things at all, in fact. The good thing is that the DTS Audio Processing makes your headphone output a decent experience. That&#8217;s pretty much it, though, in the audio department of the laptop.
There is a 720p webcam here, which is always an added benefit in the contemporary world. Online classes and meetings will be a hassle-free experience for you. The very thought and hassle of connecting an external webcam is something that puts me off. So, I was pretty happy when I saw the webcam cutout staring at me (not quite literally, though, don&#8217;t freak out!) as soon as I opened the lid.
In terms of ports, the laptop does offer all the essential ports. However, the port selection should have been a tad bit more if you ask me. You get one USB Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI 1.4 port and a combo 3.5mm headphone jack. Oh, most importantly! There is a Thunderbolt 4 port to make use of.

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&#8217;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.

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

RedmiBook Pro Review

The <a href="https://www.cashify.in/xiaomi-redmibook-15-pro-core-i5-11th-gen-8-gb-512-gb-ssd-windows-10-laptop-price-in-india">RedmiBook Pro</a> 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.
<CshComponent name="adSlotSquareComponent" id="_sc641bc1271f7e7"><property name="slotid">7799905995</property></CshComponent>
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 <a href="https://www.cashify.in/xiaomi-redmibook-15-e-learning-edition-core-i3-11th-gen-8-gb-256-gb-ssd-windows-10-laptop-price-in-india">RedmiBook 15 E-Learning Edition</a> 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.

Before getting into the details of it, here&#8217;s a quick rundown of the RedmiBook Pro specs:
Display: 15.6-inch FHD Anti-Glare
Processor: 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake Core i5-11300H
Integrated GPU: Intel Iris Xe
RAM &amp; ROM: 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Software: Windows 10 Home
Weight: 1.8kg
Dimensions: 350.1 mm × 242.3 mm× 17.9 mm

<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-246737" src="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/30215943/RedmiBook-Pro-Design-and-Build.jpg" alt="RedmiBook Pro Design and Build Quality" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/30215943/RedmiBook-Pro-Design-and-Build.jpg 1200w, https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/30215943/RedmiBook-Pro-Design-and-Build-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
The RedmiBook Pro has a rather minimalistic design, and there&#8217;s something about it that will pull you right in. There is the subtle Redmi logo on the lid, the polycarbonate build and all of that going on. Redmi did something smart with the polycarbonate build of the laptop. They gave it a metallic finish thereby making it &#8220;seem&#8221; metallic but it is, polycarbonate underneath.
However, good thing is none of it felt cheap in any way. In fact, I would go so far as to state that Redmi executed the design of the laptop really well. As soon as I knocked on the polycarbonate lid of the laptop a couple of times, I knew it was pretty durable.
The minimalistic take on the laptop&#8217;s design extends inside as well. You get to see nothing fancy inside. The bezels are average-sized; nothing too distracting. Another subtle yet constructive design element that Redmi made sure to add was the raised base of the laptop.
Two of the stands at the laptop&#8217;s base (the ones at the back) are slightly raised. This allows the laptop to sit at an angle, a relatively comfortable angle. The rubber caps also make sure that the laptop does not move from its position easily when using it.
The laptop did not feel that heavy, especially after reviewing the mighty Asus ROG Strix G17. This seemed lighter at 1.8 kg, which makes it quite heavier than the Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition So, you are looking at a laptop that falls somewhere in between in terms of compactness and overall weight distribution. If you ask me, it is alright and the hardy build of the laptop justifies its weight. The laptop is really solid and is far from being anything but fragile.

RedmiBook Pro has also got the airflow covered very nicely, thanks to the ear-to-ear vent design that offers a lot of ventilation. Wait a minute, I don&#8217;t think I mentioned that you can actually open the lid on this one with one hand. Now, that is a plus for me, a big one indeed.

<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-246738" src="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/30220021/RedmiBook-Pro-Display.jpg" alt="RedmiBook Pro Display Front" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/30220021/RedmiBook-Pro-Display.jpg 1200w, https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/30220021/RedmiBook-Pro-Display-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
As soon as you open the lid, you see a massive 15.6-inch display. Sadly, apart from putting their nose to the grindstone with the display size, Redmi did not put any effort into its quality. At first, I really liked the display size, and then, gradually, it disappointed me more and more.
For starters, the display quality felt very average. It was just something to get by. Not the kind of display that would give you a lot of satisfaction in consuming content. Your videos will seem very washed out and dull for the most part. What I mean to say here is that you will not get to see punchy colours at all. I did try adjusting and calibrating the display. Sadly, it did not make much of a difference.
Further, I do not have good things to say about its outdoor visibility either. The RedmiBook Pro display brightness levels seem pretty low indoors itself. Offering you good brightness levels outdoors is a far cry. Redmi could have boosted the brightness levels a bit more. Washed out colours combined with a not-so-bright display is not a good combination to have.
On top of all this, the display did not offer good viewing angles either. Upon viewing the display from any other direction than the front, the colours just seemed to disappear. Definitely not happy with the display on this Redmi offering. Could have been a lot better.

The RedmiBook Pro is powered by Intel&#8217;s latest 11th Gen Tiger Lake Core i5 chipset. You can expect a whole new level of performance, that is for sure. Multitasking was easy and fluid, browsing was seamless and so was a bit of gaming. Mind you, just a &#8220;bit&#8221; of gaming. You don&#8217;t want to push this machine to play Warzone, Marvel Guardian&#8217;s of the Galaxy or anything similarly graphic intensive. Not kidding, I actually did try to run both these games. Warzone ran at a hilariously unplayable 13 FPS whereas, the latter did not even run and kept crashing.

However, you can easily run games like Valorant and Fortnite at 1080p low or 720p medium and high settings. The laptop does heat up quite a bit because of the fact that the Iris Xe is not capable enough as an integrated graphics card. That leads me to the question, why didn&#8217;t Redmi add a dedicated graphics card in the first place? You are paying a lot of money and in that price range, at least the Nvidia GeForce MX450 would have been a great addition.
Bottom of the line is that the laptop is NOT meant for gaming. It is primarily to serve your work-related needs and sometimes, entertainment demands. The display and lack of a dedicated GPU just does not make it even a decent laptop for gaming. Moreover, the colour accuracy is all over the place which makes the RedmiBook Pro a terrible choice for video editors as well.

<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-248126" src="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/31223307/RedmiBook-Pro-Keyboard-and-Trackpad.jpg" alt="RedmiBook Pro Keyboard and Trackpad" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/31223307/RedmiBook-Pro-Keyboard-and-Trackpad.jpg 1200w, https://s3b.cashify.in/gpro/uploads/2022/03/31223307/RedmiBook-Pro-Keyboard-and-Trackpad-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" />
What Redmi did with the keyboard and trackpad of the laptop is pretty commendable as well. You get a chiclet style keyboard with no Num Pad at the side. That is a bummer for me and those who have been following my reviews know this. I LOVE the Num Pad. It is super duper handy for me as I have become very used to it. Not going to lie, I was surely a tad bit disappointed with the Num Pad. Definitely not as disappointed as I was when I played Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time (no offence). Either way, a Num Pad would have definitely made it all better. After all, it is not like there was not enough space to accommodate a Num Pad.
Apart from this though, there are barely any downsides to the keyboard. The keyboard is tactile and offers more than a satisfactory typing experience. Accuracy is good and the 1.5mm key travel is good enough for you to reach your max typing speeds. Never did I feel uncomfortable typing on the keyboard for once (of course, did miss the Num Pad). I guess my rant for the absence of a Num Pad is not going to end anytime sooner. You know what else does not end or run out of space? The large trackpad on the RedmiBook Pro. It has abundant space for your fingers to work with.
I have pretty sweaty hands and fingers and this causes my smartphone&#8217;s fingerprint sensor to not work a lot of the times. Something that took me aback was how responsive the trackpad really is. It never faltered even if my hands were at their sweatiest. I had no issues using the trackpad and it surpassed all my expectations, something I can probably never say about Cyberpunk 2077. Alright alright, I&#8217;m done with the Cyberpunk diss.
Another thing apart from the Num Pad that I missed on the laptop was a backlit keyboard. Backlit keyboards are the way to go in 2022 and not having one at this price range is a pretty big let down for me. You are paying almost 50k for a laptop and are not getting a backlit keyboard? Maybe that is what you call a Red-Mi flag (I just couldn&#8217;t help it).

Since the RedmiBook Pro is powered by a very power-efficient CPU, you will see a good battery backup. On paper, the laptop packs a 46Whr battery. This rated battery capacity is paired with 65W fast charging support as well. According to the brand, this can charge the laptop up to 50 per cent in 35 minutes.
They are not wrong and the laptop actually does charge up to 50 per cent somewhere around that time. Redmi claims that the laptop can offer a battery backup of up to 10 hours. That is a bit of a drag but in reality, from my very own experience, I can say that it did offer a backup of roughly 7-8 hours on normal usage. This is still really good and most of my work was done within that period. The RedmiBook Pro definitely does not break a sweat on this front.

Although the display made watching anything from a Netflix Special to a YouTube tutorial very dull, the speakers definitely made up for it. There are two 2W stereo speakers, each on one side. The speakers are also backed by DTS audio, which offers an immersive experience when you are using your earbuds. Moreover, the external audio knocks it out of the park too. For the price, the sound quality is more than enough, in my opinion.

Additionally, there is a 720p HD webcam as well on the laptop. This is a huge plus for a lot of people and gives it quite the leverage over the Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition. Having a webcam is a very useful addition and the RedmiBook Pro fortunately has one.
Moving on, the RedmiBook Pro offers n number of ports to make use of. These include two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one RJ-45 port, a hybrid headphone/microphone jack, one USB 2.0 port and one HDMI port. Most importantly, the laptop offers one SD Card Reader slot as well. So, you are pretty much covered in terms of port selection on the laptop. Additional features you get are dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.1 and the like.
