Redmi Book Pro 14: Xiaomi releases new MacBook Pro 14 contender with Intel Arrow Lake processors
The Redmi Book 14 Pro has returned, a year after Xiaomi upgraded it to Intel's Meteor Lake platform. This time, the company has brought Intel's newer Arrow Lake architecture to its 14-inch laptop, which sits within a 312 x 220 x 15.9 mm and 1.45 kg housing.
Specifically, the Redmi Book Pro 14 2025 comes with a choice of Core Ultra 5 225H and Core Ultra 7 255H processors, which leverage Arc 130T and Arc 140T iGPUs, respectively. These processors are joined by up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM clocked at 8,400 MT/s, but only 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. On top of that, Xiaomi includes an 80 Wh battery, which puts the Redmi Book Pro 14 2025 beyond peers like the MacBook Pro 14 (curr. $1,399 on Amazon) in this regard.
The Redmi Book Pro 14 2025 ships with a 16:10 display too, which resolves at 2,880 x 1,800 pixels (2.8K) with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits peak brightness. Xiaomi's new 14-inch laptop is not shy of ports either, with a pair of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports adorning one side and 3.5 mm jack, HDMI 2.1 (TMDS), USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 connections on the other.
The Redmi Book Pro 14 2025 starts at CNY 5,699 (~$783) in China with a Core Ultra 5 225H processor, 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Alternatively, Xiaomi charges a further CNY 300 (~$41) for 32 GB of RAM and CNY 6,999 (~$961) in total for the same memory but the more powerful Core Ultra 7 255H. There is no word on international availability yet, though.
