Xiaomi has officially spilled the beans on the 2027 update to its Redmi Book laptop series, detailing both a launch date and what to expect from the laptops in terms of performance and battery life. The information comes courtesy of the Xiaomi Redmi account on Weibo, and the announcement reveals an October 27 release date for the Redmi Book 14 and likely the 16, alongside it. It's so far unclear if and when the new Redmi Book laptops will launch internationally or what the pricing will be, but the outgoing Redmi Book 14 starts at 6,499 CNY with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage.

With the post, Xiaomi also confirms that the Redmi Book 14 and 16 will be using Intel's Wildcat Lake Core Series 3 processors, with previous leaks having tipped the Core 5 320 for the Redmi Book 16, and the fine print on the marketing images now confirming the Core 5 320 for the Redmi Book 14. The Redmi Book 14 2027 has also been confirmed to ship with a 72 Wh battery, which Xiaomi claims will deliver over 20 hours of office use, with a claimed 1.26 days of local video playback. It will also use LPDDR5X-7467 RAM, although capacities are unclear at the time of writing, aside from the confirmation that there will be a 16 GB version available. The fine print also confirms that the display will be 2.8K, however the panel tech isn't mentioned.

Judging by the product images posted to the Weibo account, the Redmi Book 14 will be available in a soft pink color, and it will have a built-in fingerprint reader set above the laptop's keyboard. It also appears to be copying the rounded-off corners and edges and otherwise boxy, minimalist design of the latest MacBooks.Despite the similarities to the latest MacBook Air and Neo designs, the Redmi Book 14 2026 will retain dual USB Type-A ports, a full-size HDMI port, a 3.5 mm audio combo jack, and dual USB Type-C ports, at least one of which is likely to be used as a charging port, since there are no barrel power inputs on the machine.
