[Tinydeal Review]Whenever people talk about Xiaomi, cost-effectiveness is always a topic that cannot be avoided, especially when entering the new industrial chain, they are called the “scrambler” in the industry. When Xiaomi began to hit the high-end, the banner of “cost-performance ratio” and “scrambler” in the industry was taken over by Redmi. At the launch conference of Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the long-lost Redmi Book Pro series ushered in an update, and the Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 was officially released. So as Xiaomi’s opening work in the notebook field, what is this machine like? What about improvement and change? Next, let’s find out!
Start with details, still familiar with family design
Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 continues the family-style design language in terms of appearance. In the middle of the A side is Redmi’s brand logo, which has no other decorations, which are very simple and clean. The B side is a 14-inch screen with an ultra-narrow bezel design, while the C side is a full-size backlit keyboard. It has a good touch and a moderate rebound force, which is relatively straightforward. The D-side of the machine is also integrated with certification marks in the middle and a row of super-large heat dissipation grids on it.
Overall, with the support of metal material, the texture and touch of Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 are very good. In addition, the delicate sandblasting process also makes the machine less likely to get fingerprinted. The new clear sky blue color scheme also makes the phone look more energetic. In terms of weight, the Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 is only 1.46kg, which is the conventional level of thin and light notebooks.

In terms of interfaces, compared with the Redmi Book 14 2023 I have in hand, the biggest change is to upgrade a USB-A interface to a USB-C Thunderbolt 4 interface. Therefore, in addition to this interface, there is also a USB-C full-function interface, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen1 interfaces, as well as HDMI 2.1 TMDS, and a 3.5mm audio interface. Such a combination can cover various scenarios of daily use.

Although the overall shape remains largely unchanged, the details are more refined. The A, C, and D edges feature CNC fine milling, reducing sharpness for a more comfortable grip. This makes it easier to hold the device or type without discomfort. Compared to the Redmi Book 14 2023, the edges now extend to the B side. This improvement enhances the user experience when opening and closing the laptop. It also helps prevent fingerprints from staining the built-in camera.
In terms of screen, Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 is equipped with a 2.8K resolution and a maximum of 120Hz ultra-high refresh rate. Compared with the regular 60Hz refresh rate, high refresh can reduce screen lag when browsing documents and web pages quickly slide up and down.

The processor is the heart of a laptop. A powerful processor can make the laptop more powerful and expand more possibilities. The Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 series is equipped with a new Intel Ultra processor. This time, the author got the top version – Ultra 7 155H processor, with a memory combination of 32GB LPDDR5X memory + 1TB SSD.
Intel’s latest Core Ultra 7 155H features a new 3D package modular design, optimizing each module for better performance and lower energy use. With strong hurricane cooling, it reaches an impressive 65W in performance brutal mode on the Redmi Book Pro 14 2024.

Finally, I got 4334 points in Time Spy mode of 3D Mark (Graphics card score is 3926).
Adhering to the principle of “watching the fun is not a big deal”, the author did not choose the commonly used LOL for light and thin office books for evaluation, but chose the PC Genshin Impact and PUBG for testing.
In the actual test, although “Genshin Impact” has less than 60 frames at 1920×1080 resolution and medium image quality, it can be stable at around 45 frames. In the test of “PUBG”, the default low image quality +1080P parameters are in the default low image quality. Next, it can maintain it at around 65 frames and can play games normally. Of course, Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 is not a standalone gaming laptop after all, so there is no need to ask too much about this. It is considered very good to be able to run normally while ensuring a certain experience.
In terms of memory, Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 uses a super high-speed 7467MT/s LPDDR5X memory of up to 32GB. Compared with LPDDR5 memory, LPDDR5X memory performance is higher and faster.

The power consumption is also further reduced compared to LPDDR5, with power consumption being reduced by about 20%.
Long-lasting battery life, The Paper Smart Connect
For a thin and light laptop, the use scenarios that leave the power supply are the norm, such as taking a computer to the conference room for video conferences when working, or taking it to the library when studying. Therefore, long-lasting battery life is essential.
To this end, the author tried to work normally for only one day with the battery when the Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 is fully charged. From 9 am to 6 pm, and finally, with the balance mode on, the laptop has 19% remaining battery power. Therefore, in the face of normal dynamite use, Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 can easily be competent.
Its excellent battery life comes from the Intel Ultra 7 155H processor. This chip combines performance, efficiency, and ultra-low power cores. It adjusts performance based on usage, optimizing power and extending battery life. Users can work confidently on the go without charging anxiety.
The Redmi Book Pro 14 2024 includes a 100W high-power gallium nitride charger for fast charging. Its removable power cord also functions as a data cable, making it easier to connect with other devices.
The device interconnection capabilities have also improved. With Xiaomi Pengpai Zhilian, the laptop now supports a multi-device ad hoc network instead of just one-to-one connections. This upgrade enables seamless content flow and better hardware collaboration, significantly boosting efficiency.
Users can access several interconnection functions with Xiaomi Pengpai OS devices. These include a cross-device camera and call collaboration, TV screen projection, and a converged device center. Other features include network collaboration, keyboard and mouse sharing, tablet mirroring, Miaoxiang desktop, Xiaomi mutual transmission, and a cross-device clipboard.
