Xiaomi-backed Redmi had launched its own laptop in
the form of RedmiBook 14 and now the company is gearing up to launch a new
variant of the same. The company has already announced that RedmiBook 14 Ryzen
Edition will be launched in China on 21st October.
Ahead of its launch next week, the company has
revealed support for a new feature of the device — support for the company’s
new cross-brand file transfer feature. The feature was launched earlier this
year in cooperation with Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo for transferring files between
the devices from these brands.
The company claims that with this new feature on the
upcoming RedmiBook 14 Ryzen Edition, it can transfer files between laptops and
smartphones without any file size limit and can transfer over 1000 images and
HD videos in a blink of an eye.
Along with revealing this new feature, the company
has also teased the pricing of this upcoming device. It said that the upcoming
RedmiBook will be priced at XX99 Yuan. While most of the devices powered by the
AMD Ryzen 3500U are priced above 4,000 Yuan, the product from Redmi is expected
to cost 3,499 Yuan, roughly US$ 493.
Recently, the company had revealed that the
RedmiBook 14 Ryzen Edition will come in two choices in terms of processor — AMD
Ryzen 5 3500U and AMD Ryzen 7 3700U processor. Apart from this, the company has
not revealed much about the upcoming laptop. However, we expect most of the
device specifications to remain unchanged compared to the standard RedmiBook 14
laptop.
The Ryzen 5 3500U chipset comes with Radeon Vega 8
integrated graphics, making it a good low-cost budget solution for gaming. With
its four cores and a maximal clock speed of 3.7GHz, it is a great processor for
the home and office computing, with ability to easily run multiple apps
simultaneously. It can also handle some more demanding stuff as well, such as
video editing.
On the other hand, the Ryzen 7 3700U comes with a
quad-core APU using AMD’s Zen+ cores, with simultaneous multi-threading enabled
to bring the total thread count to eight. Although it uses a 3000-series model,
it’s still built on the slightly older 12nm process. It has a maximum clock
speed of 4GHz and Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics card with 10 CUs (640 Shaders)
clocked at up to 1400MHz.
Xiaomi has claimed that with the launch of this
RedmiBook 14 Ryzen Edition, the company will be declaring war on the
unreasonably high-priced premium laptops and aims to balance the price to
performance ratio.
