The laptop is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U (2.3GHz) or the Ryzen 7 4700U (2GHz) CPU along with the Nvidia GeForce MX250 2GB GPU with 8/16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD based storage. As per the I/O, the RedmiBook 16 has a single USB-A Port (USB 3.1 Gen1), dual USB Type-C Ports, and a full-sized HDMI port.

The device also has a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack powered by the Realtek ALC256. The laptop is fitted with dual 2W speakers with DTS audio support. A 46Whr battery fuels the device with a rated battery life of 12 hours while watching an offline video or 9 hours while streaming from online. The battery can be charged from zero to 58 percent in a matter of 30 minutes.

Price And Availability

As of now, the availability of the RedmiBook 16 is limited to China, where the base model with the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and 8GB RAM retails for 3799 Yuan (Approx Rs. 38,000) and the same model with double the RAM sells for 3999 Yuan (Approx Rs. 40,000).

Is It Any Good?

Considering the features and specifications of the RedmiBook 16, these models offer an immense value-for-money when compared to other laptops with similar configurations. However, importing a unit from China will be an expensive affair and it could cost almost double after the import duty taxes.
