Uhm... small correction: 33W

Quote from: Pioter888 on May 19, 2024, 13:42:52Hi, can someone explain why power consumption in one test stabilized at ~45W and in another at 78W? Why are they throttled at different levels?

If I understand it correctly the 45W is where the CPU stabilizes. The spec sheet at the beginning of the article shows that the CPU is configured with a PL1 of 45W, which is the value it will stabilize under sustained load. Higher wattage (PL2 of 90W) can only be used for short load spikes.

Also those 45W apply to the CPU only, without any other components (like mainboard, RAM, SSD, cooler).


Then later in the section "Power Management", they measured 78W which probably applies to the whole device (all components together: CPU, mainboard, RAM, SSD, cooler) under sustained load. Whereas 45W from the 78W are already used by the CPU, and the remaining 32W are used by the other components.

At least that's what I think it is...

Hi, can someone explain why power consumption in one test stabilized at ~45W and in another at 78W? Why are they throttled at different levels? Were all tests done in maximum power mode (there are 4 different power modes)?

1 more type-c port would have been great. Anyway this seems to be a good buy with any deal

I dont get people writing something like that.
You are already monitored by all services you are using be it big corporations, american or/and european government or your mobile telecom.
Why do you care about chinese government having some info about you? When you will basically never have any interactions with them while you are daily interacting with google/apple services.
You should be more concerned with google/apple/amazon/[any company] selling/leaking your private info which happens all the time

Still rocking the 2016/2017 Mi Notebook Pro 15.6 (i7 8550U + 16GB RAM) and still has a good keyboard, good glas trackpad, good battery life, almost silent (only under compilation or other intensive tasks) and a general build quality that surpasses a lot of notebooks.

I wouldn't mind buying another Xiaomi/Redmi one, so glad they still keep doing a good quality product.

I'm running Linux on it and it's a real pleasure.

Either some editors of Notebookcheck are AfD members or they are directly financed by the CCP of China or Russia.
The "Law of the People's Republic of China on National Security" of 2015 (National Security Law) and the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Cybersecurity" of 2017 (Cybersecurity Law) stipulate that all organizations and citizens are obliged to ensure national security and to cooperate with the state security authorities.
According to the 2017 Cybersecurity Law, companies operating in China are required to store important data on servers within the country and to provide authorities with access to their systems and data as part of security audits.
Why is Notebookcheck advertising China Tech and ideology?

What about the keyboard backlight? Does it flicker when set to lower brightness level like the previous RedmiBook models did? Does it still use PWM?

[...translation from german] Xiaomi burned me because of malware incidents and with Chinaware I also expect state trojans that would only be discovered later. Well, Qi Jiping, your policies have consequences!

- Unfortunatly I have to agree to what Robert Jasiek wrote in the german forum. The tech is great biu we don't need thought control.
- What about the VAT?
- With no CE marking the customs has the right to send it back or destroy it. The costs for that pays the buyer. I don't like this concept.
- Deficiency regulations are poor: you don't have any individual rights concerning this purchase in case of defect within 2 years

Quote from: Hunter2020 on April 22, 2024, 19:49:09How can the screen be faked? 

Faked by response time and declarations for "165Hz", which should give a maximum response to B2W/G2G of no more than 1000/165 = 6ms. If you're dyslexic, that's your problem.

The display information summary is wrong,

QuoteDisplay16.00 inch 16:9, 3720 x 1920 pixel 262 PPI, TL160MDMP03_0, IPS, glossy: no, 165 Hz

Shouldn't that be 3072 x 1920 and 16:10?

LOL @ NikoB.  How can the screen be faked?  It's sourced from a 3rd party company just like any other laptop brand.  Unless you mean Xiaomi specifically told their LCD screen supplier to fake their product, which I think is dubious! 

I don't know about the RedmiBook Pro 16 BUT you can definitely buy the RedmiBook 14 from Aliexpress.  The best time to get them is during an Aliexpress sales event.  I know that during said events like for example 11-11/Black Friday sales, you can get USD $100+ OFF the regular price of the laptop!

This is a really nice laptop! Very impressed. How does someone in the US buy this? Anyone have suggestions?
