Jakarta (ANTARA) - Xiaomi has quietly implemented significant price increases in China across a large portion of its laptop portfolio.

According to reports from Gizmochina on Thursday, based on information gathered from gadget enthusiasts in China and local media, price hikes have been observed across the Redmi Book Pro and Xiaomi Book Pro laptop models. The price increases range between 400 yuan and 700 yuan (approximately IDR 1 million to IDR 1.8 million) overnight.

This price adjustment will impact both the laptop generations currently on the market and those to be released in the future. The full list of devices affected by the price hike includes the Redmi Book Pro 14 and Redmi Book Pro 16 (2025 and 2026 editions), Redmi Book 14 and Redmi Book 16 (2026), and the Xiaomi Book Pro 14.

Looking at the exact figures, this price increase is quite striking for a market segment that typically relies on aggressive pricing strategies. The Redmi Book Pro 14 2025, which was being sold for 6,799 yuan (approximately IDR 17.9 million) just a few days ago on 15 September, is now listed at 7,29<0xC2>9 yuan (approximately IDR 19.3 million).

Its larger sibling, the Redmi Book Pro 16 2025, experienced the sharpest increase of all, rising from 4,699 yuan (approximately IDR 12.4 million) to 5,399 yuan (IDR 14.2 million), representing an increase of 700 yuan (IDR 1.8 million). New models slated for 2026 have also seen similar price hikes. The Redmi Book Pro 16 2026 is known to have risen from 7,399 yuan (approximately IDR 19.5 million) to 7,899 yuan (approximately IDR 20.9 million), while the 14-inch model rose from 7,199 yuan (approximately IDR 19 million) to 7,699 yuan (approximately IDR 20.3 million).

There has been no official statement from Xiaomi explaining the reasoning behind these price increases. However, widespread price hikes in the electronics market can be understood through the ongoing fluctuations in component costs, particularly regarding DRAM, internal memory, display panels, and broader supply chain logistics in recent times.
