Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro 14 (2024, Core Ultra 7)

Strong specs for the money (2.8K 120Hz, 32GB, 80Wh) at roughly 950 dollars imported (approx), but it is a grey-import China SKU and the Linux picture is unverified, so go in cautious.

Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.

ubuntu-lts: The Meteor Lake silicon itself is fine on kernel 6.8 or newer, so on paper this should behave like any Arc laptop. The problem is the machine: this is a China-market SKU with Xiaomi firmware, a Chinese Windows image, and almost no English-language Linux reports. Wi-Fi card and keyboard-firmware quirks are unverified. We have not confirmed a clean install on this exact unit, so the Linux status is graded unknown rather than guessed either way until someone reports back.
