RedmiBook 15

Xiaomi's RedmiBook 15 sticks to basics that still matter for everyday laptop work. An 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 clocked at 3.0GHz handles office tasks and browsing fine, paired with Intel Iris UHD Graphics for light visual work. 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD keep things moving without much lag, and the 15.6-inch FHD anti-glare screen at 1920 x 1080 gives you a decent-sized canvas for documents or streaming.

Battery is rated at 46Wh, good for around 10 hours of work before you need the 65W adapter again. Port selection is where this laptop earns points: HDMI 1.4, two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, USB 2.0, RJ45 Ethernet, an SD card slot and a headphone jack all make the cut, so you're not left hunting for dongles. At 1.8kg it's not the lightest 15.6-incher around, but it runs Windows 11 Home out of the box.

RedmiBook 15 price in Malaysia starts from RM1798, positioning it as a budget option for students or anyone needing a straightforward Windows machine for daily tasks rather than gaming or heavy editing.
