144Hz gaming on a budget? Redmi gaming laptop has you covered
July 23, 2025
Xiaomi’s Redmi brand has branched out into many tech segments, with laptops being one of the more recent entries for the budget-focused brand. Now, the company has decided to launch a gaming-focused laptop, dubbed the Redmi G.
The new laptop indeed sports a gaming-type aesthetic, featuring sharp edges and several large cooling vents, but it also packs a solid list of specs. For starters, you’re getting a 144Hz FHD screen with 100% sRGB coverage, up to a tenth generation Core i7-10750H CPU (no AMD silicon here), 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. You can also expect GTX1650 or GTX1650TI graphics.
Don’t expect the best endurance though, as Xiaomi says the 55-watt hour battery is only good for 5.5 hours of 1080p local video playback or up to six hours of web browsing. Then again, most people aren’t exactly buying a gaming laptop for excellent battery life.
As for I/O, you may expect two USB 3.2 ports, one USB 2.0 port, a USB-C slot, mini-DisplayPort 1.4 slot, HDMI 2.0 output, Ethernet, and a 3.5mm port.
Other notable features include a 1MP webcam (why are computer brands like this?), DTS:X Ultra support, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1.
The Xiaomi Redmi G laptop is available in China and starts at 5,299 yuan (~$763) for the base model, which packs a Core i5-10200H CPU and GeForce GTX1650 GPU. Meanwhile, the mid-tier option sees a bump up to a Core i5-10300H CPU and GeForce GTX1650TI graphics for 6,299 yuan (~$907). Want the very best option with the Core i7 processor and GTX1650TI graphics? Then you’ll be spending 6,999 yuan (~$1007).
Here’s hoping we see this 144Hz-toting laptop come to wider markets, especially the base model. In the meantime, you may check out our roundup of thebest laptops of 2020.
