In August 2020, while testing the first-generation Redmi G gaming notebook, my strongest impression was that this budget-friendly laptop felt excessively cheap. Fast forward three and a half years and the Redmi G product line has progressed through four iterations, advancing step by step.
Now, in 2024, I have the Redmi G Pro 2024 gaming laptop, a product that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Savior Y9000 2024. The Redmi G Pro gaming notebook in 2024 marks a stark departure from its predecessors. Let’s delve into the details!
Firstly, there’s the i9-14900HX processor:
In the past, Redmi G gaming laptops stuck to Core i7 or Ryzen 7 processors. However, this time, it comes equipped with the top-tier i9-14900HX. Featuring 8 P-cores and 16 E-Cores, totaling 16 cores and 24 threads, along with 32MB L2 cache and 36MB L3 cache, it boasts an impressive P-core acceleration frequency of 5.8GHz and a full-core frequency of 5.2GHz.
Notably, not every gaming laptop can support the i9-14900HX’s eight P-Cores running at the full-core frequency of 5.2GHz. Here, the Redmi G Pro gaming laptop in 2024 outperforms most rivals.
Secondly, a significant innovation is the inclusion of a VC vapor chamber and liquid metal thermal conductive silicone grease for the first time: While most gaming notebooks use phase change materials for thermal grease, the Redmi G Pro gaming notebook in 2024 employs liquid metal thermal grease, enhancing thermal conductivity by 2.5 times, a tenfold increase over traditional silicone grease.
Additionally, the notebook features a spacious VC vapor chamber designed to cover the CPU, GPU, video memory, and corresponding power supply circuits, ensuring even and efficient heat dissipation. This robust cooling system enables the Redmi G Pro gaming notebook in 2024 to unleash a performance of up to 210W, making it the most powerful under 10,000 yuan.
Now, let’s delve into the detailed parameter configuration of the Redmi G Pro Gaming Notebook 2024.
Design and Screen
A 240Hz high-refresh-rate 2.5K screen and a liquid gold cooling system make this laptop stand out. The metal A side features a matte finish, providing a delicate feel and a high-end appearance.
Measuring 360 x 261 x 28mm and weighing 2.6kg, the notebook boasts a compact design. The Y9000P’s 16-inch screen offers 2560*1600 resolution, 500nit brightness, and an upgraded 240Hz refresh rate.
Certified with VESA HDR 400, the screen supports 1.07 billion colors, 100% sRGB color gamut, and Delta E < 0.6 color accuracy. The full-size three-level backlit keyboard, with 1.5mm key travel, retains the numeric keypad. Featuring a 125*81.6mm touchpad with NFC one-touch transmission, the laptop is user-friendly.
The 240Hz high refresh rate has its nameplate, adding a touch of uniqueness. On the left side, find a USB 2.0 port and a 3.5mm headset interface. To the right, there’s a USB-A 3.2 Gen1 port and a three-in-one SD card reader. In the middle at the top, discover various interfaces, including power, Thunderbolt 4, mini DP, HDMI, USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, and a 2.5G network port.
The upper half of the D surface features a large heat-dissipation grille. The 330W power adapter outputs 19.5V16.9A, ensuring robust performance. A significant upgrade is the new ice cooling system, with a VC vapor chamber and liquid metal thermal grease, capable of dissipating a remarkable 210W of heat. Under the radiator, you’ll find 2 SO-DIMM DDR5 slots and 2 M.2 2280 slots supporting PCIe 4.0.
Storage includes a PC300 1TB SSD from Yangtze Storage. Memory features 2 Hynix DDR5 5600MHz 8GB modules with timing 46-45-45-136l. For wireless connectivity, it comes equipped with an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6E network card.

Roasting and Endurance Test
CPU 
The CPU’s instant power consumption during roasting can reach 148W. After a 20-minute test, it stabilizes at 130W. Currently, not many gaming laptops can surpass this power consumption. During roasting, the processor’s all-core frequency remains steady at 3.8GHz, with a temperature of only 90 degrees.
GPU 
Roasting the GPU individually for 20 minutes, the temperature of the RTX 4060 Laptop is 83 degrees, with a frequency of 2250MHz, and the roasting power consumption stabilizes at 141W.
Dual Roasting
During a half-hour dual roasting session, the i9-14900HX’s power consumption is 85W, with a temperature of 91 degrees. The RTX 4060’s power consumption is 126W, with a temperature of 84 degrees. The total power consumption of CPU and GPU combined is 211W.
Endurance Test
The Redmi G Pro gaming laptop for 2024 is equipped with an 80Wh lithium battery. We used PCMark 10 to practically test the laptop’s endurance.
The chosen scenario for the test is PCMark 10’s modern office, with the power mode set to “Power Saver” and all other processes closed during the test. The screen brightness is adjusted to 50%.
In the PCMark 10 modern office scenario, the endurance test result is exactly 4 hours. This result is acceptable for a gaming laptop.
Verdict
Few gaming laptops with a single-fired CPU can surpass 130W, and only top-notch gaming laptops like the ROG Gunslinger Plus achieve this feat. Currently, the Redmi G Pro gaming laptop 2024 is the sole contender under 10,000 yuan capable of such performance.
- Heat Dissipation Capacity: Conducting a long-term roasting test, we observed that the i9-14900HX maintained a stable 130W performance when the CPU was roasted alone. Meanwhile, the RTX 4060 Laptop consistently consumed 140W when the GPU was roasted solo. In the double-baking scenario (GPU+CPU), the total power consumption exceeded 210W, surpassing the Savior Y9000P 2024 with the same configuration.
- i9-14900HX Performance: The Redmi G Pro 2024 outperformed the Tianxuan 5 in all test items, boasting a 4.5% improvement in single-core performance and an 8% advantage in multi-core performance. The i9-14900HX processor, coupled with the notebook’s robust cooling capacity, led to a significant performance lead compared to the previous generation i9-13900HX.
- E-sports Game Performance: Testing “League of Legends,” the Redmi G Pro gaming notebook 2024 maintained a frame rate of over 400FPS throughout, reaching 520FPS even in the final counterattack. The notebook’s design, featuring ample CPU power consumption, enabled the i9-14900HX to run games at a full-core frequency of 5.2GHz, making it ideal for online games and e-sports.
- AAA Game Performance: Testing more than a dozen 3A games, the Redmi G Pro gaming notebook 2024 consistently delivered a frame rate of over 110FPS at 1080P resolution, even in graphics-intensive games like “Cyberpunk 2077.” At 2K resolution, it maintained a smooth frame rate of over 60FPS, outperforming the Y9000P.
In a head-to-head comparison, the Redmi G Pro gaming notebook 2024 surpasses the Y9000P in both performance and additional features. The 16-inch IPS display with 2.5K resolution, 100% sRGB color gamut, 500nit brightness, and 240Hz high refresh rate sets it apart.
While the Redmi G Pro gaming notebook 2024 impresses, there’s a slight disappointment that its 210W heat dissipation performance could potentially support higher-end graphics cards like the RTX 4070. The hope is for such improvements in future products.
