Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) Laptop

Xiaomi Laptops

The Xiaomi laptop, or Xiaomi laptops in general, broke the market from the first moment they went on sale and began to become popular worldwide. The value for money they offered in terms of features, design and versatility was unbeatable, and still is to this day. They are often compared to Apple Macbooks for their quality, but at a fraction of the price.

– SYSTEM AND KEYBOARD ADAPTED TO THE SELECTED LANGUAGE – 

Buying a Xiaomi laptop was an almost impossible task. First they were in Chinese, then they took a month to arrive.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) laptop: Introduction

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) is the newest in the Mi Notebook family. The most famous and best in ultrabook-like performance of the Xiaomi notebooks. For this very reason, the Mi Notebooks have always been recognized as Xiaomi’s top of the line.

Not only in terms of laptops, but also in smartphones, for example. In fact, the arch-named Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro laptop was the Xiaomi laptop that put the rest on the map, back in 2018 – 2019.

With this new edition of the famous Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro, the flagship of Xiaomi laptops, is how Xiaomi seeks to set the trend in the field of ultrabooks, with some of the most advanced features seen so far in a laptop of this type, so thin and with just 1.5kg.

Thus, it is surprising how much Xiaomi has managed to integrate within such a limited space, achieving a team of the highest level on a global scale. Let’s take a look at its main features:

• • Made entirely of metal with a weight of 1.5kg.
  • Intel i5-11300H or i7-11370H processor with up to 4.8GHz
  • NVIDIA GeForce MX450 2GB GDDR5 dedicated graphics or integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics
  • 512GB ultra-fast SSD storage
  • 14″ inch Super Retina display in 2.5K resolution with Corning Gorilla Glass reinforced glass
  • 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 3200MHz RAM memory
  • 56Wh battery with Thunderbolt 4 type C charger with ultra-fast charging at 100W, allowing you to charge up to 50% of the battery in just 35 minutes and, mind you, it can last up to 11 hours!

1) Xiaomi laptop versions and differences

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021)has 3 different versions. In all cases, 2 aspects vary: processor and graphics card. Regarding the processor, it can be Intel i5-11300H or Intel i7-11370H. And regarding the graphics card, it can be NVIDIA GeForce MX450 with 2GB dedicated GDDR5, or Intel Iris Xe Graphics integrated.

Here we leave you a summary comparison of all versions, with each of their combinations to clearly see what changes from one to the other, with these changes marked in orange with respect to the above version of each one.

For a more extensive and visual comparison, close this “Description” tab and open the “Comparison of versions” tab:

• • 1) Processor: Intel i5-10300H + RAM: 16GB + Storage: 512GB SSD + Graphics card: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (integrated)
  • 2) Processor: Intel i5-10300H + RAM: 16GB + Storage: 512GB SSD + Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (2GB dedicated)
  • 3) Processor: Intel i7-13700H + RAM: 16GB + Storage: 512GB SSD + Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (2GB dedicated)

2)Processor of the Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021)

The Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) has two processor options, the Intel i5-11300H, combinable with both NVIDIA GeForce MX450 and Intel Iris Xe graphics, while the other alternative, the Intel i7-11370H, is only available with the first graphics option, i.e. the more powerful of the two.

In more detail, the Intel i5-11300H is the 11th generation of Intel processors, the latest and most powerful to date. It reaches up to 4.4GHz of turbo power, with 3.1GHz of normal, and has 4 cores (quadcore) and 8 threads, as well as three-level cache at 8MB.

The other variant, which is the most powerful, has an Intel i7-11370H, also of the latest generation (11th). This reaches 4.8GHz of power in turbo, and 3.3GHz in normal, also with 4 cores (quadcore) and 8 threads, although with three levels of cache at 12MB, compared to the 8MB of the Intel i5.

3) Xiaomi laptop graphics card

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021)  has an NVIDIA GeForce MX450 in its two most powerful versions, with 2GB dedicated. In its other case, we find the integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics card, which is a notable difference from the previous one.

So if graphics and gaming are important aspects for you, the Intel version with the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 is your choice. With it you will be able to play virtually all games, even the latest generation, with medium – high settings.

If we still wanted more in this field, we only have one option right now, and we should go to a quite different type of laptop. The range of Xiaomi Gaming laptops where we find graphics cards with up to 6GB dedicated, where, without a doubt, we will be able to play any game with the graphics specifications to the maximum.

It has support for three-screen display and dual 4K video playback: that is, it can be connected to two 4K resolution displays, Full HD laptop display, or three displays showing different content. In addition, it has full-featured USB-C video output and HDMI video output. Resolution varies according to Hz as discussed below:

• • USB-C:
    • 1080p resolution (up to 240 Hz)
    • 4K resolution (up to 60 Hz)
  • Video HDMI:
    • 1080p resolution (up to 144Hz)
    • 4K resolution (up to 30Hz)

4) RAM memory of the laptop Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021)

This time, Xiaomi has gone all out, and all versions come with 16GB of DDR4 RAM as standard. This is a clear statement of intent in terms of power and quality, which can be seen in every aspect of this laptop. It also improves to 3200MHz dual-channel, compared to the 2666MHz that presented the rest of Xiaomi laptops presented to date.

5) Xiaomi laptop storage space

The Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) laptop has only versions with 512GB SSD storage in all cases. Very important to note that this is SSD storage space, something that is starting to become quite common among mid-range and high-end laptops, and of course, in all Xiaomi laptops, which makes the whole computer go much faster. As far as we know so far, it is not expandable.

6) Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) Notebook Design

This is a field where all Xiaomi laptops, especially those launched more recently (from 2018 onwards), stand out enormously. Let’s be clear: if you go looking, you will find another laptop with similar specifications at a technical level. Now, when you ask these ones:

• • Have a “transportable” weight (living up to its “portable” name).
  • An elegant, slim, professional, minimalist, subtle design (can you tell I like its design? I’ll stop now, sorry!).
  • And that it is constructed of premium materials (all metal).

All this “put together” in the clean and organized way of Xiaomi laptops, you can go quietly at prices ranging from double that of Xiaomi laptops, up to 3-4 times more, being their close cousins the Apple MacBook.

And even so, you will never be able to count on the reliability and confidence that what you have in your hands is a Xiaomi laptop. There is a reason why their smartphones have become number 1 in sales in Spain in less than 1 year since they landed here, right? Well now take that, and apply it to their laptops.

That said, let’s get down to business.

With a clean and modern finish, made of pure metal to keep the equipment cool at all times and resistant to bumps, drops and scratches, the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) laptop features a 14″ inch screen (which we’ll talk about in detail in a moment in the next section).

The difference lies in the thin margins of the screen, with an excellent screen-to-space ratio, making the most of the available space and enhancing its appearance.

7) Laptop screen Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021)

As we advanced a moment ago, our favorite laptop has a 14″ inch screen, which makes this laptop the most powerful, versatile and flexible of all Xiaomi laptops. Although this time Xiaomi has pulled out all its artillery. For it is not only a high-definition screen, but neither more nor less than a Super Retina display with 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600).

It has a brightness of 300 nits and a contrast ratio of 1000:1, with a refresh rate of 120Hz, adjustable to 90 and 60Hz if desired via the Fn + S keyboard combination. The above resolution translates to 216 PPI with a display ratio of 16:10. In addition, this is an anti-glare Corning Gorilla Glass reinforced display with 178º viewing angle.

Very interesting also are the extremely thin bezels of just 4.3mm. that give a modern and clean look, and maximizes the screen-to-body ratio up to 88%. Now, if your laptop usage allows for a 14″ screen, and you want what has already been dubbed by many as the best screen ever seen on a laptop to date, check out the Mi Notebook Pro 15 (2021).

7.1) Brief comparison of Xiaomi notebook displays

As far as screen size is concerned (and consequently, the size of the entire laptop itself), the Redmibook line has the widest range of options in this regard. It ranges from 16.1″ to 13″, between the models Redmibook 13, Redmibook Air 13, Redmibook 14, the successor of the latter, the Redmibook 14 II., or the new Redmibook 14 Pro and Redmibook 15 Pro, launched in March 2021.

The rest of Xiaomi laptops, to date, are 15.6″ (Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro X 15, Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 15, Xiaomi Mi Gaming, Xiaomi Redmi G, etc.), the most common size in the market, except for the old Xiaomi Mi Air 13 and Xiaomi Mi Air 12.5, or the new Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14, launched in March 2021.

This is unusual among Mi Notebook Pro laptops, which were always offered with 15.6″ screens. This is a more portable alternative for Xiaomi laptops‘ users, as the 14″ option really makes the difference and makes it a very light and comfortable laptop to carry.

8) Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 laptop battery (2021)

To finish completing your perfect kit for the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) laptop, the following accessories could not be missing:

• • Mouse: Do you need one? Yes. Maybe you already have one around the house? Also, but… Is it as cool as the new Xiaomi Mi Dual Mode Wireless Mouse (Silent Edition)? Surely not, and it sure doesn’t have all its features either, so forget about crappy (or broken, I’m racking them up…) mice and complete the kit to match the gear you’re getting.
  • Case: I won’t repeat myself, but yes, you need one, and a real one, not because it’s “cool”. You’ll see how funny it will be when you drop your laptop and charge it. And it fits exactly the size of the Xiaomi Redmibook 14 Pro.
  • Laptop stand: this is my favorite, because yes, it’s there for more than just making you look more professional. It saves you from endless neck and back pain. Since the day I bought one out of curiosity, I have never been able to work without it again. 100% useful and necessary, and totally portable, look at the pictures and you’ll see!
  • Multicompartment briefcase: if you take your laptop to work, documents, charger and so on. The most comfortable is a case like this one. Padded and reinforced, and with a strap adjustable to the size of the computer, protecting laptops from 12″ to 17″.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021): Comparison

Here we will put our beloved Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) in perspective with the other Xiaomi laptops, briefly but clearly, so that you know if this is the Xiaomi laptop you were looking for so much, or if one of the other Xiaomi laptops is a better fit for you:

1) Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) vs. Xiaomi Redmibook 14 Pro

Xiaomi makes it difficult for us to compare these two, both launched just 1 month apart. For both laptops are virtually identical.

As far as we can tell, these are the only differences between the two laptops: the processor of the Mi Notebook Pro 14 is slightly more powerful, reaching 4.8GHz, compared to the maximum 4.4GHz of the Redmibook 14 Pro, although the latter beats the former by 30-60 minutes of battery life, something that we doubt is a decisive factor in opting for one or the other.

Finally, the laptop in question has a reinforced Corning Gorilla Glass screen, which the Redmibook does not have. And so much for that. Apart from the fact that one will say Redmibook and the other Xiaomi, nothing else.

2) Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) vs. Redmi G y Xiaomi Mi Gaming

In Xiaomi’s Gaming class we find several variants, although all with a very similar central axis: gamer design and maximum performance. To be precise, this line includes the Redmi G Gaming and the Xiaomi Mi Gaming. In the end, the concept is the same for both.

That is, they present a gamer aesthetic, all in black with backlit keyboards in multiple colors and very robust equipment, in terms of thickness and weight. Very different aesthetically from the rest of Xiaomi laptops, so that’s up to you, for tastes colors.

In terms of performance, if you want to play the most powerful games on the market with all the specifications to the maximum, this is your only option. Starting with its processors, these always feature the most powerful variants of these.

For example, if we see other Xiaomi laptops with Intel i5 or even Intel i7, these will be from the U range, while the i7 of Xiaomi Gaming laptops are from the H range, technically superior in power and performance.

Surprisingly, there the new Redmibook 14 Pro, Redmibook 15 Pro, Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) and Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) have caught up with them, as they feature state-of-the-art, H-class processors as well, so nothing to envy in that regard.

Finally, the last and biggest difference between Xiaomi Gaming laptops and the rest: their graphics card. In summary, we will say that, in all cases, they have NVIDIA GeForce RTX or GTX graphics cards. These are basically the most powerful of the brand, and all of them have between 4GB and 6GB dedicated to graphics performance. Which will allow your game to perform at full specs.

In conclusion, games at full throttle? This one. Not full blown games? Not this one.

3) Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) vs. Xiaomi Mi Air

The Xiaomi Mi Air lineage, with its representatives, the Xiaomi Mi Air 13 (13.3″) laptop, and the Xiaomi Mi Air 12.5“, could be said to be the parents of the Redmibook, its predecessors. I won’t get too long with this one because it would basically be repeating the same comment made as for the Xiaomi Redmibook laptops.

When they were initially launched they created great expectation. Which made them the best selling Xiaomi laptops after the famous Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro. This led them to create a much more complete second generation in terms of versions and technical combinations (RAM, storage, processor, graphics card, etc.).

Basically they are starting to become somewhat obsolete simply because there is more choice and variety on the Redmibook side.

The latter incorporate slightly newer and, somewhat more powerful technology that was not offered in the Xiaomi Mi Air at the time, although they still have some interesting versions. Also, if you’re interested in an ultra-small laptop, the Xiaomi Mi Air are the only ones to offer a model with a 12.5″ inch screen.

Conclusion: what we liked most about the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) laptop

What we liked the most, and what a potential user of the Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) should have in mind if they decide to go for it, would be to have a high-performance device. All this within a modern and clean design, with thin margins, premium all-metal finish. And that’s not all, dimensions, thickness and weight very flexible when it comes to m

At the same time, the incredible battery of the Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) cannot be overlooked. Counting with 56Wh that promise us up to 11 hours of use, charging at 100W thanks to the charger with Thunderbolt 4 ultra-fast charging connection, resulting in 50% of the battery ready in just 35 minutes.

The power that Xiaomi incorporates in this new laptop is spectacular.

This is the highlight of this equipment, with H-class processors, latest generation (11th gen.), in i5 and i7 variants, with powers up to 4.8GHz and 3200MHz. Together with the new NVIDIA GeForce MX450 graphics, which offers a big step forward compared to its previous generation, the MX350, being about 30% more powerful.

Finally, the 2.5K Super Retina display with 300 nits brightness and 216 PPI, with a screen-to-body ratio of 88%. Even more, the Mi Notebook Pro 14 (2021) clearly marks itself as Xiaomi’s most elite and powerful option so far in the sub-15.6″ laptop category.
