Plus the power button located in the upper right corner of the keyboard has a little resistance to make it more difficult when accidentally pressed.

What is very interesting again, the baterai power of the RedmiBook 15 can be charged quite quickly because I only need to wait 30 minutes for the baterai to be charged from 12% to 56% or about 1 hour 35 minutes to fully charge.
