Xiaomi Redmibook Pro 14 Ryzen Edition [RedmiBook Pro 14 Ryzen 7 5700U 16GB/512GB/Vega 8] (JYU4400CN)

Real station wagon

Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro 14 is a powerful and lightweight ultrabook that is equally suitable for entrepreneurs, students, designers, coders, etc. one charge (although according to the passport 16 hours are indicated). Plus, in the 2021 version, Xiaomi switched to Ryzen processors and fixed most of the flaws of previous Redmibooks.

Work on bugs

For example, the cooling system has become noticeably quieter, the webcam has returned to its place, and 2 USB-C 3.2 gen1 ports appeared on the side panel at once, the wireless module supports the Wi-Fi 6 standard, and the audio path is friends with DTS. However, the Achilles' heel of these ultrabooks has almost always been dim displays with limited colour reproduction, after which Apple's Retina displays seemed like something godlike. The new Redmibook also fixed this: the device has a bright 14-inch IPS display with QHD / 2K resolution, wide viewing angles and natural colour reproduction.

Top for your money?

But Xiaomi has never had any problems with the filling and the 2021 model is as close as possible to the status of “top for your money”. Our modification has a 16-thread Ryzen 7 based on Zen 2 cores (Lucienne architecture), an important part of which is the moderately performant integrated Vega 8 graphics card. frames per second? In general, it pulls a little weaker than the discrete GeForce MX350. By modern standards, this is far from a gaming laptop, but it is quite possible to play on it. As for the memory, there is also complete order: 16 GB DDR4 (frequency 3200 MHz) is soldered on the board, and a fast 512 GB NVMe SSD is used as storage.

Fast, thin, powerful and solid

Redmibook Pro 14 looks solid in all respects — the minimalistic case looks expensive and presentable, reminiscent of one well-known laptop from Apple. The build quality is excellent, the parts do not play, and the lid hinges are moderately tight, but the display can be lifted freely with one hand. In general, this time it can really be called a worthy alternative to the MacBook. However it costs almost the same money as the MacBook Air with an ARM processor.
