RedmiBook Pro 2022 Ryzen edition laptops with 6000H CPUs have been announced in 14" and 15.6" sizes.
Xiaomi upgraded the RedmiBook Pro 15 laptop to Intel's 12th generation processors in March, and now it's time for the Ryzen version to get a new CPU. The options are the same as last year, but one generation ahead: the base model comes with a Ryzen 6600H processor, but you can upgrade to a Ryzen 6800H. If you desire, you can also get an Nvidia GPU. The 14-inch variant was also updated, with the same processors but no GPU option.

The Ryzen 6600H is a 45W processor with a built-in AMD 660M GPU (6 compute units) and a 6-core/12-thread architecture (6nm TSMC). The GPU is based on the RDNA 2 architecture, which provides considerably better performance than prior Ryzen generations' Vega GPUs.

The 6600H processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB storage in the RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 Ryzen model cost at CNY 5,500 ($820/€770/64,000).

The 6800H processor costs CNY 6,100 (there are no other RAM/storage options, as previously stated). The RTX 2050 comes in two flavours: one with a 6600H CPU (CNY 6,700) and another with a 6800H processor (CNY 6,800). (CNY 7,300).

This laptop also has a Ryzen 6600H or 6800H processor with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage (LPDDR5 6,400Mhz and PCIe 4.0). However, there is no option for an extra GPU, so you're stuck with the on-board RNDA 2 graphics. This model comes with a 56WHr battery that can last for up to 10 hours.
The 14-inch display maintains the same high-quality standards as the previous model: 100 percent sRGB, deltaE 1.5, and DC dimming. If you don't like the automatic brightness, press Fn+S to turn it off.
Although the resolution is reduced to 2.5K, the refresh rate is increased to 120Hz. Unfortunately, even the 680M GPU will struggle to maintain 120 frames per second in new games.
