How to choose between the newly released RedmiBook Pro 14 and RedmiBook Pro 15?

Yesterday, Redmi held a new product launch event in the first half of 2021. It released new products such as notebooks, mobile phones, TVs, and digital accessories, which were still very amazing. In addition to the Max TV and Redmi K40 series, the two notebooks of the RedmiBook Pro are also very distinctive.

So, whether this generation of notebooks is highly competitive and worth buying, we might as well take a look at the configuration.

First of all, let me talk about the impression that the Xiaomi Redmi Notebook used to give people, that the new processor update is not so fast, the cost-effective advantage is not so obvious, and the price is not reduced after the release, and the overall feeling is flat.

Of course, this is not the goal of Redmi, so we saw the two RedmiBook Pros this time, which can be said to be menacing and powerful.

Let’s take a look at RedmiBook Pro 14, which uses an i5-1135G7 processor, 4 cores, 8 threads, 15W power consumption, base frequency 2.4GHz, turbo frequency 4.2GHz, integrated Iris Xe graphics card.

In addition, there are 16GB DDR4 3200 memory, dual-channel, 512GB PCIE harddrive. The screen is a 14-inch 2560×1600 high-resolution screen, 300nit brightness, supports DC dimming, and 100% sRGB color gamut.

It weighs 1.46Kg, with an aluminum alloy body, camera, fingerprint recognition, and Thunderbolt 4 interface. The battery capacity is 56Wh.

As for RedmiBook Pro 15, it uses an i5-11300H processor, 4 cores, 8 threads, 35W power consumption, base frequency 3.1GHz, turbo frequency 4.4GHz.

In addition, it is also 16GB DDR4 3200 memory, 512GB hard drive, and an MX450 independent display, 2GB GDDR5 video memory.

The screen has reached 3200 × 2000 resolution, 300nit brightness, 100% sRGB color gamut, 90Hz refresh rate (default factory value), FN+S can switch between 90Hz and 60Hz.

It’s with 70Wh battery capacity, a 100W USB-C power adapter, weight 1.79Kg, the interfaces are the same.

You can see that the touchpad is huge and the control experience will be good.

In general, if you choose RedmiBook Pro 14, the integrated graphics version is currently cost-effective. If you choose Pro 15, the integrated graphics version or independent graphics version are both good choices, and the difference is only ¥500.

As for whether to choose 14 inches or 15.6 inches, it depends on the environment. For home use, it is recommended to choose 15.6 inches, which has strong performance and a large screen. If you carry it for a long time, 14 may be suitable. Not only is it lighter by more than 300 grams, but the main size is also small.

I remember that Redmi notebooks used to have no cameras, but now there are more and more conference calls, and they are also equipped with cameras. It seems that the personality is less, but it is more mature, and the price is still cost-effective.
