RedmiBook 16 :

The new version of the RedmiBook 16 offers a choice between the Core i5-1035G1 and i7-1065G7. Both are 15 W chips with 4 cores and 8 threads, but the i7 runs at higher clock speeds (1.3-3.9 GHz vs. 1.0-3.6 GHz) and has more L3 cache (8 MB vs. 6 MB). It also has double the GPU computing units, but that doesn’t matter as much as there is an Nvidia MX350 GPU with 2 GB of GDDR5 RAM.

Regardless of CPU choice, the laptop is cooled by a single fan with dual heat pipes. Also, the RAM is now DDR4-3200, which is faster than what the Ryzen version got (DDR4-2666).

Note that the Intel-powered version costs more. The one with an i5 is CNY 5,000 ($710) while the base i7 one is CNY 5,700 ($810). In both case you get 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. For comparison, the Ryzen 4500U laptop is CNY 3,600, the 4700U one CNY 4,300.

Anyway, the RedmiBook 16 has a 16.1” screen with narrow bezels (3.26 mm, giving it 90% screen to body ratio). It’s a 1080p panel with full 100% sRGB coverage, DC dimming and 300 nits brightness. The full-sized keyboard has 1.5 mm keystroke and it have also a finger print reader and the most significant is that it is mounted inside the power button.

The laptop weighs 1.8 kg and comes with a 46 WHr battery, good enough for 12 hours of use (according to Xiaomi). it charge really fast as compared to old models, getting to 50% takes only 30 minutes using the supplied 65 W USB-C charger. Additional ports include another USB-C, one USB-A 3.0, one USB-A 2.0, an HDMI port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It also includes Wireless Connectivity features Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO.
