With the RedmiBook laptop, Xiaomi is eyeing to take a lead before the Realme laptops come to the market. RedmiBook: What we want to see

Backlit keyboard

The Mi NoteBook series had got most things right in its first attempt, but it did miss out on a backlit keyboard. With the RedmiBook, we would like to see
a backlit keyboard which is helpful for most people after sunset.

Fast charging

Fast charging is always handy and especially on laptops, it will be very helpful for long working hours. It will also come in handy when people are on the go.

Intel Evo certification

Intel Evo platform laptops are verified by Intel for real-life world performance and have gone through multiple testing and validation during the design stage. Currently, in India, we have only a handful of laptops and wed like to see RedmiBook being added to the list. Best laptops under Rs 40,000 Best laptops under Rs 60,000 Best webcams under Rs 3,000
