Xiaomi RedmiBook laptops have long ceased to be exotic in the Russian market - the brand confidently competes with Lenovo, HP and even Apple in the budget and mid-segment. The RedmiBook 8 Pro model, released in 2022, still remains one of the most popular due to the balance of price, performance and design. But how much does it cost today? Spoiler: the price range for new and used equipment can exceed 20,000 rubles - and this with identical characteristics!
In this article, we will discuss:
Official prices from Xiaomi and authorized dealers (including shares).
Real prices on marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex Market) and in retail networks (M.Video, Svyaznoy).
The cost of used models - where to take a risk, and where it is better not to save.
Hidden costs: delivery, extended warranty, accessories.
Alternatives: What competitors offer for the same amount of money.
Important: Xiaomi’s prices in Russia are highly dependent on the yuan, logistics costs, and even the region of sale. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, a laptop can cost 5-10% cheaper than in the regions, due to competition between sellers. And since 2023, Xiaomi has officially stopped delivering RedmiBook 8 Pro to Russia, so all “new” devices on the market are either leftovers of warehouses or “gray” imports.
1. Official prices Xiaomi RedmiBook 8 Pro: what the brand offers
At the time of the release in 2022, the starting price of the RedmiBook 8 Pro in China was ~45,000 rubles (in terms of the then exchange rate), while in Russia official dealers sold it from 55,000 to 65,000 rubles depending on the configuration.
- 🔴 Xiaomi Russia official website — the RedmiBook 8 Pro model is no longer listed in the catalogue. It was last available there at the beginning of 2023 year at the price of 59 990 ₽ (version with i5-11300H and 16 GB of RAM).
- 🛒 Authorized dealers (e.g., Mi Store in malls) sometimes offer balances at a price of 62,000-68,000 ₽ but with a limited warranty (12 months instead of the standard 24).
- 📦 Grey imports - some stores import laptops from China under the guise of "official" but without a Russian keyboard and with a local dealer warranty Price: 48,000-55,000 ₽, but the risks are high (see block ⚠️ below).
If you come across an offer under 50,000 ₽ marked "official warranty," that's a reason to be wary.
⚠️ Warning: Fake warranty coupons Xiaomi. Check the serial number of the laptop on the site mi.com/verify — if it does not pass validation, the warranty is fake.
2.RedmiBook 8 Pro Prices in Popular Stores (Updated May 2026)
To save money, many shoppers turn to marketplaces and retailers, and we analyzed the offers for May 2026 and put together a table of current prices, and consider that prices can change daily because of stocks and discounts.
| Shop | Price (₽) | Complementation | Guarantee | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wildberries | 52 990 – 61 990 | i5-11300H/16GB/512GB SSD | 12 months (from seller) | Frequent discounts up to 15%, but the risk of running into "gray" imports |
| Ozon | 54 500 – 63 000 | i5-11300H/i7-11370H, 16-32 GB of RAM | 12-24 months. | There are options with Russian and English keyboard |
| Yandex Market | 56 000 – 65 000 | All modifications | From 12 months. | It is convenient to compare prices of different sellers |
| M. Video. | 60 990 – 68 990 | i5/i7, 16GB of RAM | 24 months. | More expensive, but more reliable (network guarantee) |
| Connected | 59 990 – 67 990 | Similarly | 24 months. | Often give bonuses for the purchase |
As you can see, the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive offers can be as high as 15,000 ₽! While not always the high price guarantees quality, for example, on Wildberries you can run into a laptop with Chinese firmware, and in M. Video you can overpay for an "extended warranty", which in practice is no different from the standard one.
💡
Before buying, check the reviews of the seller on the marketplace. If he has a rating below 4.7 and less than 100 sales, it is better to look for another option.
How much does RedmiBook 8 Pro cost: risks and benefits
Buying a laptop with your hands can save up to 30 percent of the cost of a new one, but there are a lot of pitfalls here: Average prices for Avito, Yulu and thematic forums in 2026:
- 💻 Condition as new (up to 3 months of use): 40,000-48,000 ₽ Usually sold by those who bought and were disappointed (for example, due to a noisy cooler).
- 🔋 1–2 years of use: 35,000–42,000 ₽ Risk of battery wear (check the number of charging cycles!).
- ⚠️ "In parts" or defective: 20,000-30,000 ₽ Often sold after falling, pouring, or with broken pixels on the screen.
Where to look?
- 📌 Avito is the biggest choice, but many scammers (ask for prepayment, send photos from the Internet).
- 🤝 Yula – it is convenient to arrange a meeting, but prices are inflated by 5-10%.
- 💬 Telegram channels like @xiao_mi_buy or @bubook_ru are sold by enthusiasts who monitor the state of the art.
⚠️ Warning: When buying a used RedmiBook 8 Pro, be sure to check: 1. Battery status (via cmd → powercfg /batteryreport). 2. The presence of broken pixels (use the monitor-test.ru test). 3 Keyboard operation (especially space and Enter – they most often break). If the seller refuses to show the laptop in operation – this is an excuse to refuse the deal.

4 Hidden expenses: what else will have to be spent on
The price of a laptop is just the tip of the iceberg. When buying a RedmiBook 8 Pro, consider the additional costs:
| Item of expenditure | Cost (₽) | Can we save money? |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery (if you order online) | 500–2 000 | Yes – look for free shipping from 30,000 ₽ |
| Extended warranty (1–2 years) | 3 000–8 000 | No, it's usually a store reinsurance. |
| Laptop case or bag | 1 500–4 000 | Yes - buy on AliExpress (from 800 ₽) |
| Replace thermopaste (if warmed) | 1 500–3 000 | Yes - you can make it yourself (paste Arctic MX-6 ~500 ₽) |
| Additional RAM (if 8 GB is low) | 4 000–7 000 | No – RedmiBook 8 Pro does not support RAM upgrade |
The most unpleasant “hidden” expense is after-warranty repairs, such as a screen replacement costing 15,000–20,000 ₽ and a motherboard costing up to 25,000 ₽, while Xiaomi’s official service centers in Russia are only in major cities, so you’ll have to turn to artisanal craftsmen in the regions.
Why does RedmiBook 8 Pro not support RAM upgrades?
5. RedmiBook 8 Pro Alternatives: What Competitors Offer
If the RedmiBook 8 Pro doesn’t fit you in price or specs, consider the other brands. We’ve picked up models with similar options and priced up to 65,000 ₽:
- 🖥️ Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro (Ryzen 5 5600H/16 GB /512 GB) — 58 000 — 63 000 ₽ Pros: better performance, cons: plastic case.
- 💻 Honor MagicBook 16 (Ryzen 5 5500U/16 GB/512 GB) — 55 000 — 60 000 ₽. Pros: metal case, cons: weak screen (60 Hz).
- 🍎 MacBook Air M1 (2020, used) — 60,000-70,000 ₽. Pros: ageless performance, cons: no Windows out of the box.
- 🎮 ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (Ryzen 5 4600H/16 GB /512 GB) — 62 000—68 000 ₽. Pros: gaming video card, cons: bulky and noisy.
If you prioritize autonomy, the RedmiBook 8 Pro loses to the MacBook Air M1 (18 hours vs. 10), but if you want Windows and the ability to connect a second monitor, the choice is obvious in favor of Xiaomi.
💡
The RedmiBook 8 Pro beats competitors in price/screen ratio (100% sRGB) and body (all metal), but loses in performance and autonomy.
6.Where to buy cheaper: life hacks for savings

Another way to save money is to buy a laptop in Europe and bring it yourself. In Germany, for example, the RedmiBook 8 Pro costs ~450–500 € (about 42,000–47,000 ₽), but you have to pay a fee (if you are not carrying as personal luggage) and risk that the keyboard will be in German.
7. Owner reviews: Should you buy in 2026?
To see if RedmiBook 8 Pro is worth buying today, we analyzed reviews on Yandex Market, Wildberries and forums (like 4PDA).
- ✅ Pros: 🖥️ Great screen (2.5K, 90 Hz, 100% sRGB) is better than many competitors. 🔋 Fast charging (100 W) – from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes. 🎨 Metal case without backlashes and creaks. 💽 Many ports: 2×USB-C (with Thunderbolt 4 support), HDMI, USB-A, 3.5 mm.
- ❌ Cons: 🔥 Heavily warms under load (up to 95°C on i7). 🔊 Weak speakers (quiet and no bass). 🖱️ Touchpad sometimes "glues" (missing clicks). 🔄 No support for Windows 11 "out of the box" (must be updated BIOS).
The overall rating on Yandex Market is 4.6/5 (based on 1,200+ reviews). Most complaints are related to overheating and cooler noise, but this is typical for all thin laptops with powerful processors. If you do not plan to play heavy games or render video, RedmiBook 8 Pro will last you 4-5 years without any complaints.
💡
If you need a laptop for school, office work or watching movies, the RedmiBook 8 Pro is a great choice. For games or professional graphics work, it is better to go towards Lenovo Legion or ASUS TUF.
