In January, Redmi introduced the 2025 Redmi Book 14 and Redmi Book 16 along with the Redmi Turbo 4 smartphone in China. Recently, the company has quietly launched the Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition as a more affordable option for its domestic market. Here’s a look at what we know about this new laptop.
Specs and Features of the Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition
The refreshed version of the Redmi Book 14 (2025) swaps out the Intel Core 5-210H processor in the regular model for an Intel Core i5-13420H. This new processor features eight cores—four designed for performance and four for efficiency—along with twelve threads. It can reach a maximum turbo frequency of 4.6GHz and includes 12MB of Intel Smart Cache. For graphics, it has integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 48 execution units running at 1.4GHz, which is suitable for basic tasks.
Changes in Display Quality
One of the notable updates is the display. The standard Redmi Book 14 (2025) offers a high-resolution 2.5K 120Hz screen, while the Refreshed Edition comes with a 14-inch 1920 × 1200 (WUXGA) display and a lower refresh rate of 60Hz. Although it maintains a 100% sRGB color gamut and has an anti-glare coating, users who prefer a better refresh rate and sharper images might see this as a downgrade.
Additional Features and Connectivity
The laptop keeps the 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD for storage. In terms of ports, it includes an HDMI 2.1 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB-C port for charging and data transfer, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for easy wireless connections. The device is powered by a 56Wh battery and features 100W USB-C fast charging, allowing it to reach 50% charge in about 35 minutes. Weighing in at just 1.37kg, the metal chassis ensures it’s lightweight, and it comes equipped with a backlit keyboard and dual speakers optimized with DTS. Windows 11 is pre-installed on the laptop.
Pricing for the Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition
The Redmi Book 14 (2025) Refreshed Edition is available for a price of 3,499 yuan. With a 20% government subsidy, the final cost could be as low as 2,719 yuan. This new laptop is set to be released on March 24.
