Xiaomi’s Book Pro 14 (小米) surfaces in photos with 14.6" 3.1K OLED touchscreen
Preview and key specs
It has been reported that Xiaomi (小米) used today’s third‑generation Intel Core Ultra showcase to preview a new thin‑and‑light laptop, the Xiaomi Book Pro 14, and Chinese site IT之家 (ithome) published hands‑on photos of the demo unit. The showpiece is reportedly powered by an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor and features a 14.6‑inch OLED touchscreen with a 3.1K resolution, 120Hz refresh, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. Color fidelity looks strong on paper too: 100% DCI‑P3 coverage and a ΔE of about 0.3.
Performance, storage and cooling
Under the hood the preview unit comes with 32GB of LPDDR5X‑9600 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 TLC SSD, with an extra M.2 2280 slot for expansion. Xiaomi has reportedly equipped the chassis with a large vapor/heat spreader and a cooling design that supports up to 50W sustained performance — a notable claim for a sub‑1.1kg laptop. Can a featherweight machine deliver serious sustained performance? That will be the key question for reviewers.
Design and positioning
Xiaomi appears to be targeting premium ultraportable buyers. The Book Pro 14 is said to use an integrated die‑cast magnesium alloy body, a high‑strength 3D thermoformed carbon fiber bottom, and a titanium support plate beneath the keyboard. Specs shown list a weight of about 1.08kg and a thickness near 14.95mm, with color options described as soft matte blue, white, and “elegant gray.”
Broader context
This preview arrives as PC makers worldwide calibrate designs around new Intel architectures. For Western readers: China’s laptop industry often mixes domestic materials and design with U.S. chips and components — a reality shaped by trade policy and export controls in recent years. It has been reported that Xiaomi will likely position the Book Pro 14 as a premium, portable alternative to other 14‑inch flagships; pricing and global availability were not disclosed.
