Apple style for Redmi costs
Despite their impressive specs and stellar designs, the laptops are priced much lower than the laptops they’re designed after. The cheapest option is the 512GB RedmiBook 14, which will set you back $592 USD. The 1TB RedmiBook 14 only sees a slight bump in cost, and is priced around $635 USD.
The RedmiBook 16, despite the larger screen, barely costs more than the RedmiBook 14. The 512GB model costs around $620 USD while the 1TB model is priced at almost $665 USD. These are very competitive prices for such powerful work laptops, and will surely give competing brands a run for their money in the mid-range bracket.
