Redmi has confirmed that it will launch an Intel Core i7-powered RedmiBook 16 on July 8. The Xiaomi sub-brand is also expected to unveil the RedmiBook 14 II in China on the same day. While the former will be powered by the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10nm processor, the latter is also expected to rock a similar Core i7 unit. Redmi introduced the RedmiBook 16 back in May and at the time announced that it would be Ryzen 4000 series 7nm processors with Radeon GPU. The Intel-powered variant is expected to be launched in China this week.

As posted on Weibo by the Mi Notebook handle, the RedmiBook 16 will be launched on July 8 and feature a 10th generation Intel Core i7 processor. A full screen experience is also touted.

It is expected that RedmiBook 14 II may be an upgraded version of the RedmiBook 14, which went on sale in India from June. The older version came packed with AMD Ryzen processors with up to 16GB DDR4 RAM and up to 512GB SATA SSD storage.
