MagyarXiaomi RedmiBook Pro 16 2024 review - Perhaps the best Meteor Lake laptop with a long battery life
With the new RedmiBook Pro 16, Xiaomi offers a powerful high-quality 16-inch laptop for multimedia users and the home office, if you won't need a dedicated graphics card. The aluminum case houses a powerful cooling system, Intel's new Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake processor including Arc graphics, 32 GB of RAM, a large 1-TB SSD, and a matte, high-resolution IPS panel with 500 Nits of brightness and a 165 Hz refresh rate.
In Germany, the device can be imported via TradingShenzen, for example, costing 997 Euros (~$1,062) with the German Windows 11 Pro version (base price: 957 Euros, ~ $1,020). Alternatively, a model with the slower Core Ultra 5 125H but otherwise identical equipment is available for 907 Euros (~$967).
Note that by default, the RedmiBook Pro 16 comes with a Chinese version of Windows 11, where you cannot change the language. This was also the case with our test unit, which was the reason why we installed the German version of the operating system ourselves. You should therefore make sure that you get the right version of Windows before a purchase.

Case - RedmiBook Pro with robust aluminum case
Xiaomi uses a silver color aluminum case for the RedmiBook Pro 16. The base unit gets slightly thinner on the sides, making the device look very slim, although it is definitely not trying to be the thinnest laptop on the market. With its slim display bezels, the design looks modern, and fingerprints are also not a problem on the surface. Thanks to its subdued look, the RedmiBook Pro can also be used in professional environments without any problem.
The quality of our test unit also gives a good impression, without any faults in the workmanship. The stability of the case is also good overall. Only when trying to warp the case, can we force it to produce some minimal creaking noises, and the center of the keyboard can be pressed in minimally. The slim display lid is slightly more flexible, but we are unable to provoke any artifacts in the display. The hinges are well-adjusted, and the lid can be lifted easily using a single hand. However, when changing the display angle (maximum opening angle ~170 degrees), the hinges still cannot completely prevent it from wobbling slightly.
In terms of the footprint, the RedmiBook Pro 16 is one of the more compact models in our comparison group. Weighing around 1.87 kg (~4.1 lb), it is slightly heavier than its direct competitors. But at a thickness of about 1.6 cm (~0.63 in), the RedmiBook is also relatively slim. Together with its USB-C charging cable, the 140-Watt charger weighs 382 grams (~13.5 oz).
Equipment - Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1
The connections are distributed over the back area of both sides, and there is no need for accepting any compromises here. In addition to a USB-C port, there are also Thunderbolt 4 and an HDMI port. The right side offers two regular USB-A ports, so you won't need any adapters in everyday operation. However, the RedmiBook Pro doesn't include a card reader or Ethernet port.
Communication
Xiaomi uses the current Intel AX211 WLAN module that in addition to the Wi-Fi 6E standard also supports Bluetooth 5.3. But the manufacturer seems to have cut some corners with the antennas, since in the test with our reference router from Asus, the maximum transfer rates are barely around 850-900 MB/s, which only corresponds to about half the usual value. Depending on the Internet connection, you won't be able to use its full potential, although this limitation should be minimal for most users.

Webcam
The 1080p webcam is another weak area of the RedmiBook Pro 16, since the image quality is only average even in good light conditions. In combination with the Meteor Lake processor, studio effects (such as a blurring effect for the background, head tracking, etc.) are supported directly by the operating system and independent of the application.
Maintenance
The case cover at the bottom is secured with several Torx screws (T5) and can be removed without any problems. Inside, you will find two slots for compact M.2-2242 SSDs and a replaceable WLAN module. The battery is screwed in and can be replaced, if necessary, but the working memory is soldered in.
Input Devices - A very good keyboard with illumination
The RedmiBook Pro 16 includes a black chiclet keyboard with a three-step white illumination. The quality of the keyboard leaves a very good impression, offering a long key stroke and precise typing experience, and the keys don't clatter either. So this is a very good keyboard, and we also prefer it over the one in the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16 (review to be published shortly). While our test unit doesn't include a dedicated number block, there are large arrow keys and dedicated keys for PgUp/PgDn. The power button is on the right top outside the keyboard area and also includes the fingerprint sensor.
The only problem for German users is the international keyboard layout. Of course you can use the English input, but this will get complicated with umlauts, for example. Alternatively, you can also select the German layout, but you will then have to memorize the key assignments (and perhaps put some stickers on the special keys).
With its 15 x 9.5 cm (~5.9 x 3.7 in) size, the large ClickPad offers a lot of space for inputs, and its sliding characteristics are also very good. We had no problems with inputs at all during the test, and if we have to complain about something, it would be the slightly louder clicking noise, if you press down on the bottom area of the pad.
Display - 3K IPS with 165 Hz
The RedmiBook Pro is equipped with a large 16-inch IPS display that offers a 3072x1920 pixel resolution in the 16:10 format. The subjective image impression is very good, with the contents looking very sharp and colors looking vibrant, even if OLED panels of course have an advantage here. But that also means that the RedmiBook Pro doesn't show any IPS flickering. In bright image areas, you can detect some minimal graininess, but you have to take a very close look to notice this, and it isn't annoying in everyday operation. There are no major problems with light halos, and the response times are inconspicuous. Thanks to the brightness sensor, both the image brightness and color temperature can be adjusted automatically to the surrounding light conditions.
The maximum brightness is 526 cd/m² and it is 510 cd/m² on average. The black value is slightly elevated at 0.35 cd/m², but the maximum contrast ratio is still a very good ~1,500:1. HDR content is also supported, but in contrast to OLED or mini-LED panels, the maximum brightness remains unchanged here.

* ... smaller is better
When analyzing the panel with the professional CalMAN software, we find that the calibration is not optimal in the state of delivery. There is a visible blue tint, the color temperature is also too cool, and there are several colors that deviate from the target values. However, these settings help in increasing the maximum brightness, since it drops from 520 to about 490 cd/m² after our calibration. On the other hand, the calibration is able to get some massive improvements in the display overall. You can download the corresponding free profile from the link above. But even after our calibration, the high deviation with 100% blue still remains. So the device is not ideal for image processing, since an sRGB profile is also not available.

The matte panel does a good job outdoors, and we only wish for a higher brightness on sunny days. The viewing angle stability of the IPS panel is also good.
Performance - Meteor Lake and 32 GB of RAM
Processor - Core Ultra 7 155H
The RedmiBook Pro 16 is equipped with the new Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake processor. It has 16 cores (22 threads), and the Performance cores can run at up to 4.8 GHz. The power limits in our test unit are at 90/45 watts, so the performance overall turns out very good. The MateBook D16 with its Core i9-13900H has a slight advantage overall, but that is mainly due to its better single-core performance. Basically, the new Meteor Lake processors are simply slightly weaker here than the old Raptor Lake models.
Under constant load, the multicore performance drops by about 15%. In battery operation, the processor is allowed to consume 85/35 watts, which is the reason for the multicore performance turning out about 13% lower. You can find additional CPU benchmarks in our technical section.

DPC Latencies
In our standardized latency test (surfing the Internet, playing 4K YouTube video, CPU load), our test unit with its current BIOS version doesn't show any limitations for using real-time audio applications. Even though one driver shows some slight elevations, the important "interrupt-to-process-latency" value is still very low.

Storage Solution
Xiaomi has equipped our test unit with a short M.2-2242 SSD from the Chinese manufacturer YMTC. The PC300 offers a storage capacity of 1 TB, with the SSD partitioned in the state of delivery. After the first startup, there are still 137 GB available to the user on the system drive (and 757 GB on the D drive). While this is a PCIe 4.0 drive, the transfer rates are more on PCIe 3.0 levels. But this won't really be a problem in everyday operation, and the performance also remains completely stable even under constant load. There is also an addition M.2-2242 slot available for storage expansion. You can find additional SSD benchmarks listed here.

Graphics Card
The new Meteor Lake processor also includes the new Arc graphics. In combination with the Core Ultra 7 155H, the fastest version with 8 Xe cores is used, and the iGPU of course also profits from the fast working memory (LPDDR5x-7467). The performance of the RedmiBook Pro 16 is very good, and this is one of the fastest Arc iGPUs that we have tested so far. We were unable to detect any problems with frame drops at all in the benchmarks, which was still the case with some of the competitors (and particularly Meteor Lake CPUs with lower power limits).
In the synthetic tests, the AMD Radeon 780M can be surpassed, but in the actual gaming benchmarks, the fast versions of the 780M still have some advantages. But we assume that the situation will still improve with coming updates. Many of the older games can be played comfortably in 1080p at high details, and even some current games such as Cyberpunk 2077 can be played fairly smoothly at low details. If possible, you should use upscaling here to improve the performance further. At low details in 1080p, you can increase the performance with activated XeSS from 34.7 to 42 FPS, for example.
Under constant load as well as in battery operation, the graphics performance remains completely stable. You can find additional GPU benchmarks here.

Emissions - Good cooling with quiet fans
Noise Levels
Xiaomi uses a powerful cooling system with two fans and two heat pipes. The fans often remain deactivated or run very quietly in everyday operation. In addition, the fan curves are adjusted well, and despite the high power limits for the processor, some short load peaks don't immediately lead to the fans revving up. Even under load, the device remains very quiet overall, particularly when gaming (~31-35 dB(A) depending on the CPU load) or under pure CPU load. Only in our stress test with a combined CPU/GPU load, the fans get briefly louder at a maximum of 39.7 dB(A), since the processor is able to consume up to 115 watts. But as soon as the consumption is reduced again, the fan noise also drops to around 38 dB(A). Basically, the fans also quickly deactivate after completing the load phases. There are no other electronic noises in our test unit.

Temperatures
During idle operation and under low load, the metal case remains very cool, and there are no problems even under load. Although there is one hotspot on the bottom that reaches up to 46 °C (115 °F), this is in the central area in the back, so even then you could still place the device on your thighs. The temperature in the keyboard area remains below 40 °C (104 °F) and particularly the palm rest practically doesn't get warm at all, even under high load.
As already mentioned, the Core Ultra 7 155H is allowed to consume up to 115 watts under combined CPU/GPU load, but it will level out at 45 watts after a few minutes.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 40.3 °C / 105 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 45.9 °C / 115 F, compared to the average of 39.1 °C / 102 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.4 °C / 78 F, compared to the device average of 31.2 °C / 88 F.

Speakers
The stereo speakers of the RedmiBook Pro 16 leave a good impression. Even though there are also multimedia laptops with better sound systems, those will then also be much more expensive. Our test unit still doesn't have to hide, producing a sound that is at the same level as that of a Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro, for example (which costs twice as much).

Power Management - Extreme battery life
Power Consumption
There are no surprises in our measurements of the power consumption, and at a maximum of 12 watts during idle operation, our test unit is fairly efficient considering the good brightness values. The maximum power consumption is 140.6 watts at the beginning of the stress test, after which it initially levels out at around 102 watts, and then at 78 watts during the continuation of the test. We should also mention as a positive point that Xiaomi doesn't cut corners with the charger, using 140-Watt adapter, so the battery doesn't have to be used even during the stress test. In addition, this is a modern GaN charger that is also very compact. The charger itself has a US plug, but an EU adapter is also included.

Battery Life
The RedmiBook Pro 16 offers a 99-Wh battery, achieving extremely long runtimes. It is only surpassed in the WLAN test by the MSI Prestige 16 (but that also has a lower display resolution). Using a brightness of 150 cd/m² (corresponding to 60% of the maximum brightness in our test unit) and 60 Hz, our test unit achieves a very good runtime of 16:23 hours (13:46 hours at 165 Hz) in our WLAN test. At full brightness, the power requirements of the panel increase, and the battery life is reduced to 9:39 hours at 60 Hz (or 9 hours at 165 Hz), which is still a very good result. The video test again shows the advantage of the new Meteor Lake processors, and videos can be played for almost 22 hours at 150 cd/m². In the worst case under load (max. brightness), the lights go out after slightly more than 2 hours. A complete recharging process with the device turned on takes 89 minutes, with 80% of the capacity already available after 43 minutes.

Verdict - The RedmiBook Pro 16 is a great multimedia laptop
The new Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro 16 left a very good impression in our test (not only in relation to its price), and the multimedia laptop doesn't need to hide at all even from significantly more expensive devices. There is a robust and high-quality aluminum case, there was no cutting corners with the connection equipment, and the keyboard is also very comfortable with its long key stroke and accurate pressure point. The matte IPS panel also impresses with a good subjective image quality, high brightness, and smooth display thanks to 165 Hz. But it should still be calibrated for an optimal performance and an sRGB profile is unfortunately not available. The battery life in combination with the 99-Wh battery is outstanding.
The positive news continue with the performance, since this is one of the best Meteor Lake implementations that we have tested so far. The power limits are very high at a brief 90 watts, but this of course brings a lot of performance. Despite that, the cooling won't immediately rev up during load peaks. The graphics performance of the new Arc iGPU is also very good and benefits from the fast working memory.
A high-quality case with a comfortable keyboard, a fast processor, 32 GB of RAM, a long battery life, and a very good IPS display: With the RedmiBook Pro 16, Xiaomi offers one of the best multimedia laptops if you don't need a dedicated graphics card. For less than 1,000 Euros (~$1,066), the whole package is practically impossible to beat.
In terms of weaknesses, there are a few aspects but nothing grave. The WLAN performance is surprisingly low, which might lead to some small limitations with very fast internet connections from 1 GB/s. In addition, the quality of the webcam could be slightly better, and the clicking noise of the ClickPad is a bit loud. But those are complaints at a very high level. The working memory is soldered in, but this shouldn't be much of a limitation with 32 GB of RAM. For German users, the US keyboard layout might of course also become a problem, but you can either get used to it or remedy it with some stickers for the special keys.
Compared to its competitors, the RedmiBook Pro 16 does better in most categories, and the overall package is practically impossible to beat considering the price of less than 1,000 Euros (~$1,066). Currently, we are also testing the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 16, which is also equipped with a Core Ultra 7 155H. But its price is higher, and particularly in terms of the image quality, the IdeaPad is unable to reach the RedmiBook Pro 16.
Price and Availability
You can purchase the RedmiBook Pro 16 from TradingShenzen for around $1059, for example (including the English version of Windows Pro).
