Xiaomi could soon launch affordable Redmibooks in India

Xiaomi could bring its affordable range notebooks to India. The company had launched its Mi Notebook series few days back but people found it going beyond the budget segment. This has probably forced Xiaomi to decide that people are looking out for budget laptop options as well. According to report, the company could bring its Redmibook series to fill up the space in the sub Rs 30,000 segment.

Sources quoted in the report say the Redmibooks could make their debut around August this year. Xiaomi is expected to bring a different variant of these laptops to the Indian market. Something they have also done with the Mi Notebook for the country. The budget notebook segment in India could definitely use some freshness. And with the Redmibooks buyers can get another option worth looking at.

This way, Xiaomi can repeat its smartphone formula, by having two different series. It can target the premium segment with the Mi Notebook, while the budget buyers can go for the Redmibook. With many people now working out of home and schools running virtually, demand for laptops has gone up. Most of these consumers are looking for budget laptops, and Xiaomi can surely try its luck with these buyers.
