Three years after the last laptop from Lei Jun’s company, here comes the new Xiaomi Book Pro 14. In this long period several Redmi devices have been launched, but this is the first time Xiaomi has returned to the flagship laptop in its main lineup. The wait has been amply rewarded by a compact and stylish solution that houses a high-performance Intel processor at its core.

The new Xiaomi-branded arrival features a light and slim body, made of magnesium alloy with a high-strength carbon fiber bottom shell. Onboard there is a 14.6″ OLED display with a 3.1K resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 1,600 nits and Dolby Vision support.

The device also includes a fingerprint reader, positioned above the keyboard backlit; this also includes a button to summon Super XiaoAI, Lei Jun’s AI assistant. The laptop debuts in three configurations, all featuring flagship specifications:

  • The base version is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, an octa-core with a maximum Turbo frequency of 4.5 GHz, LPDDR5X RAM at 7,467 MT/s and Intel 4xe graphics;
  • The middle model mounts an Intel Core Ultra 5 338H at 12 cores, up to 4.7 GHz, with LPDDR5X RAM at 8,533 MT/s and Intel Arc B370 graphics;
  • At the top we have the variant with Intel Core Ultra X7 358H at 16 cores, up to 4.8 GHz, with LPDDR5X RAM at 9,600 MT/s and Intel Arc B390 graphics.

Given the performance, an advanced cooling system could not be missing, consisting of a dual quiet fan and a liquid section with 10,000 mm2 vapor chamber, all while maintaining a slim profile.
