The RedmiBook laptops launching in India are aimed at people who are getting started with a business, students, and people with creative passion. Going by the teaser, expect two laptops 一 both of them priced around Rs 50,000 similar to the Mi NoteBook series.

The RedmiBook will come in Charcoal Grey colour option which should be a welcome change after as most laptops these days come in Silver colour option. Also, unlike the Mi NoteBook 14 and Horizon Edition, the RedmiBook will come with a built-in webcam which means you won’t have to use an external USB camera.

Further, a new teaser also suggests that the RedmiBook will come with an 11th gen Intel processor and also pack in an SSD for faster storage speeds.

In terms of storage, we can expect the laptop to offer up to 512GB of SSD and up to 8GB of RAM. 

The teaser page also reveals Redmi branding just below the display and it looks like the laptop will come with a plastic build. In terms of visuals, the RedmiBook is confirmed to come with a 15.6-inch Full HD display. This is means that the 14-inch laptops from Xiaomi will be exclusive to the Mi NoteBook lineup.
