Honor dominated Russia’s AliExpress laptop sales in the second quarter of 2026, capturing four of the top ten best-selling models alongside Xiaomi and Lenovo. AliExpress СНГ compiled the list based on units sold, highlighting mid-range laptops as the biggest hits in the country’s booming marketplace.
The top sellers mostly fall within the 40,000 to 90,000 rubles price range (roughly $540 to $1,200), reflecting where many buyers seek versatile, no-frills machines for work, study, and everyday use. This price bracket typically excludes premium features like discrete graphics cards or ultra-thin designs. Notably, the list also features a compact convertible, the Chuwi MiniBook X, and a high-end gaming rig, the Mechrevo 16 Pro, equipped with the latest GPU generation-outliers in an otherwise mid-tier chart.
The full top 10 laptops sold on AliExpress Russia are:
- Honor MagicBook X16
- Honor MagicBook Pro
- Redmi Book Pro 16
- Redmi Book 16
- Lenovo ThinkBook 16+
- Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 14 GT
- Honor MagicBook X16 Plus
- Honor MagicBook X14
- Chuwi MiniBook X
- Mechrevo 16 Pro
Honor’s strong showing with four models illustrates the brand’s growing influence in the Russian laptop scene, while Xiaomi’s Redmi line and Lenovo each hold two entries. This distribution reflects typical consumer preferences on AliExpress: mainstream, recognizable series with solid specs move faster than niche or flagship models.
Globally, PC sales have been increasing. IDC reported nearly 5% year-over-year growth in worldwide personal computer shipments in Q1 2025, driven mostly by refreshed mid-range models rather than premium devices. Similarly, in Russia over the past two years, demand has shifted towards practical laptops featuring 14-16 inch screens, SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM-specifications that balance performance and price. Premium segment sales remain more vulnerable to fluctuating ruble exchange rates and retail promotions.
Another notable detail: the AliExpress top 10 includes almost no prominent gaming brands or Apple laptops, which typically sell in higher price segments and more often through brick-and-mortar stores in Russia. This list reflects what Russian shoppers frequently buy quickly on a major e-commerce platform-models with large screens, familiar names, and prices comfortably under 100,000 rubles (~$1,200).
For brands and consumers alike, this data underscores the continued importance of accessible mid-range laptops in Russia’s e-commerce ecosystem, even as premium and gaming segments carve out their own niches. Watching how these trends evolve-especially as inflation and currency shifts affect purchasing power-will reveal much about the future shape of the country’s laptop market and how providers tailor their offerings.
