Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 2021 Review & Specifications
Xioami has gone big on laptops this year. The electronics maker had
entered this category only last year. The Mi Notebook 14 and other models
in the line-up were received well but, sipped some important features you
expect on an ideal machine. Earlier this month, Xiaomi also introduced the
Redmibook laptops Redmibook 15 Pro and Redmibook 15 e-learning edition.
Both these machines were supposed to be the ‘affordable’ alternatives to
the Mi Notebooks and targeted students as well as working
professionals.

As it turned out, the Redmibook 15 Pro is priced at Rs 49,999 more than the
first generation Mi Notebook laptop and only Rs 7,000 less than the
entry-level variant of the recently launched Mi Notebook Pro. And for that
amount, you get a lot of significant improvements that should make a
difference in daily usage.
The Mi Notebook Pro price starts at Rs 56,999 for Intel Core i5 processor
with 8GB of RAM, the Core i5 and 16GB RAM model costs Rs 59,999 while
top-of-the-line Core i7 and 16GB RAM model costs Rs 72,999.
I am yet to get my hands on the Mi Notebook Pro and will review it soon
but, I have already tested the Redmibook Pro, and it might not be the
best investment at Rs 49,999. In fact, I had mentioned in my review that the
only purpose Redmibook laptops serve right now is to make the Mi Notebook
machines look better.

Display makes the difference
Display makes the difference
The RedmiBook 15 Pro comes with an 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake processors and a
15.6-inch Full HD display. While the performance is still fine, it’s the
display that really disappoints.

The display quality on the Redmibook 15 Pro is below par. It has really tight
viewing angles that make it very difficult to watch something on it. The
difference is noticeable even if you tilt the screen beyond 100 degrees. The
colours are mostly washed out and contrast levels are really poor. The
brightness is just enough for indoor use but creates issues outdoors.
The Mi Notebook Pro, on the other hand, features a smaller 14-inch display but
with a better 2.5k resolution. It is a Mi-Truelife+ display with 16:10 aspect
ratio, 60Hz refresh rate, 300 nits peak brightness, 100 percent sRGB coverage,
TUV Rheinland low blue light certification, and DC dimming. Given that the Mi
Notebook Pro has higher resolution, I am expecting a better output than the
Redmibook Pro.
More premium experience
There is also a difference in the build quality of both the laptops. The
Redmibook 15 Pro is made of plastic, weighs 1.8kgs and feels cheap. Meanwhile,
the Mi Notebook Pro is constructed out of Series 6 Aluminium and seems more
premium, at least in the images. It is also slightly lighter at 1.4 kgs.
Xiaomi is also giving more connectivity options on the Mi Notebook Ultra.
These include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.1, a Thunderbolt 4 port, HDMI port, USB
Type-C port, two USB Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Other differences include a backlit keyboard, fingerprint sensor on the power
button and 11-hour battery life on the Mi Notebook Pro. The Redmibook skipped
the first two and offered a battery life of 10-hours which turned out to be
around five hours in real life usage. All these are minor upgrades but, make a
genuine difference in daily life, especially if you spend a major part of your
day working on laptop.
In case this isn’t enough, you can also extend the budget by another Rs 3,000
and opt for the Mi Notebook Ultra, which seems like a great laptop. The Mi
Notebook Ultra features a bigger 15.6-inch display (as big as the Redmibook 15
Pro) with 90Hz refresh rate.

The Mi Notebook Ultra price starts at Rs 59,999 with Core i5 processor and 8GB
of RAM, it costs Rs 63,999 for the Core i5 processor and 16GB of RAM while the
Intel Core i7 processor with 16GB of RAM model costs Rs 76,999.
Having said that, the Redmibook e-learning edition at Rs 41,999 still makes a
lot of sense as it is more pocket-friendly and probably ideal for students.
But, for anyone who was planning to buy the Redmibook 15 Pro, should now
seriously start considering the new Mi Notebooks.
