The Redmi Book 14 2027 comes in Moonlight Silver, Nebula Purple, Sea Breeze Blue and Space Gray. The larger Book 16 2027 is available in Moonlight Silver and Space Gray.
Redmi Book 14 2027 and Book 16 2027 specifications
The Redmi Book 14 2027 features a 14-inch display with a 2,880 x 1,800-pixel resolution. Its 16:10 screen supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and covers 100% of the sRGB colour gamut. The panel also carries TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free certifications.
The Redmi Book 16 2027 gets a larger 16-inch display with a 2,560 x 1,600-pixel resolution. It retains the 16:10 aspect ratio, 120Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB colour coverage. The panel offers up to 400 nits of peak brightness.
Both laptops use integrated Intel Graphics and come with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. The Core 5 320 configuration includes a 512GB SSD, while the Core 7 350 option offers up to 1TB of storage.
The Core 5 320 processor reaches clock speeds of up to 4.8GHz. The Core 7 350 variant reaches up to 4.6GHz. These peak clock speeds alone do not determine overall performance, as processor architecture and workload also matter.
Battery, charging and connectivity
Both Redmi Book models pack a 72Wh battery and support 68W wired fast charging. Their port selection includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports. They also feature an HDMI 2.1 TMDS port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. Other features include a backlit keyboard, a 720p webcam and two 2W speakers.
The Redmi Book 14 2027 weighs approximately 1.28kg, according to the supplied specifications. The Book 16 2027 weighs around 1.56kg. The smaller model may suit users who prioritise portability, while the larger screen could appeal to those who prefer more workspace.
The 120Hz displays should offer smoother scrolling and animations than standard 60Hz panels. However, both laptops use integrated graphics, so buyers should assess their needs before choosing them for demanding gaming or graphics-intensive work.
For now, the Redmi Book 14 2027 and Book 16 2027 remain China launches. Their availability and pricing in India are yet to be confirmed.
