As earlier reported, Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi has branched out to PC with the launch of its first laptop in the RedmiBook 14. The notebook was unveiled alongside the top-end Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro smartphones and the Redmi 7A budget handset.

Xiaomi has announced several laptops under its own brand over the years, but none of its current and previous offers carry the same attractive specs and price point as Redmi’s first release. The RedmiBook 14 is a Windows-based Apple MacBook Pro clone for less than half the price.

It starts at ¥3,999 (P30,265 or $579) in China, and for the price, you’re looking at an eighth-gen Intel Core i5 processor with an Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU, 4GB RAM, and 256GB SSD housed in a MacBook-esque metal chassis. There’s also a Core i7 variant with the same discrete graphics and double the memory. That model costs ¥4,999 (P37,834 or $723).

Besides GeForce graphics as standard, both variants also come with a 14.1-inch full-HD screen with reasonably thin top and side bezels, which translate to an 81.2% screen-to-body ratio. They also feature an HDMI out, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
