Emir BardakçıThrough a public interaction on Weibo, Xiaomi has explained in detail its laptop roadmap for next year. Ma Zhiyu, the Product Marketing Director at Xiaomi confirmed there will not be any update in the REDMI gaming laptop lineup for 2025, but development of new thin and light ones will continue. This statement gives clear directions to users following Xiaomi’s PC strategy, especially those tracking updates alongside Xiaomi HyperOS developments on platforms like XiaomiTime.com, HyperOSUpdates.com, and the broader Xiaomi ecosystem.
REDMI Gaming Laptop Update Officially Ruled Out
On Weibo, in a Q&A session on December 22nd, Ma Zhiyu answered directly the question of users regarding the REDMI gaming laptops’ future. His answer was clear and without ambiguity: there won’t be any new model of REDMI gaming laptops next year. This confirmation effectively put on hold expectations for a short-term refresh of Xiaomi’s performance-oriented notebook series.
The latest in this series still is the Redmi G Pro 2024, which launched in China in mid-2024. Since it came specifically for the Chinese market, the price was announced in local currency, and neither plans were declared nor was the device positioned as a global heater.
Thin and Light Laptops Become the Focus
Unlike the gaming series, Xiaomi did confirm that its lightweight and portable laptop lineup will see further investment. When asked if REDMI ultrabooks would still see updates next year, Ma Zhiyu answered in the affirmative, and said new thin and light models are actively in the works.
This approach aligns with Xiaomi’s larger hardware strategy, one that increasingly focuses on portability, power efficiency, and inter-device integration via both Xiaomi HyperOS and Xiaomi HyperConnect. Thin and light laptops play an integral role in this ecosystem, especially for users relying on seamless collaboration between phones, tablets, and PCs.
What This Portends for Xiaomi Laptop Users
Clearing the smoke, rather than creating it, was Xiaomi’s confirmation. If anything, users looking to buy gaming laptops should not look to REDMI for a refresh in 2025, while those searching out lightweight productivity machines can expect some new offerings. This balanced strategy continues to underscore how Xiaomi works to optimize resources while strengthening its integrated device ecosystem.
