In April, Redmi will hold a major event to unveil many new products. Among them will be the Redmi Book Pro 2026 laptop. The company released a teaser image of the device and revealed its key specifications.
Xiaomi announced that two models will be released: one with a 14-inch display and the other with a 16-inch display. Both models will be equipped with a 16-core Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor (4P + 8E + 4LPE, up to 4.8 GHz; integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics). The company notes that the laptops will be compact but will offer a large battery for their size.
While Xiaomi did not disclose dimensions, it confirmed that the Redmi Book Pro 16 2026 will be equipped with a 99 Wh battery. The 14-inch model has a 92 Wh battery, which is larger than the recently released Xiaomi Book Pro 14 with the Core Ultra X7 358H.
These specifications make the Redmi Book Pro 2026 series an affordable competitor to the Apple MacBook Pro M5. Entry-level configurations are also expected, including one with an eight-core Core Ultra 5 325 processor (4P + 4E, up to 4.5 GHz; integrated graphics based on four Xe 3 cores), which could be positioned as a competitor to the MacBook Neo. A configuration with a 12-core Core Ultra 5 338H (4P + 4E + 4 LPE, up to 4.7 GHz; integrated Arc B370 graphics) is also expected.
Along with the Redmi Book Pro 2026, the company will unveil the flagship Redmi K90 Max smartphone, as well as two tablets: the Redmi Pad 2 SE and the Redmi K Pad 2.
