Infinix INBook X1 Pro Laptop Review: Surprisingly Solid All-Around

To Infinix and beyond. After dabbling in budget Android smartphones for years, Infinix is now ready for its leap of faith into the laptop world. Its debut INBook X1 Pro retails for only $700 USD or less and it's already looking like a much stronger contender than initially anticipated.

The Infinix INBook X1 Pro is the company's first ever laptop. SKUs start with the Core i3-1005G1 CPU, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD for about $530 USD up to over $700 USD for our Core i7-1065G7, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD Pro version as reviewed here. The manufacturer is launching in limited markets for now with older 10th gen Intel parts instead of the newer 11th gen series to keep costs under control.

Competitors in this space include other budget 14-inch Ultrabooks like the Honor MagicBook 14, Asus VivoBook S14, or HP Pavilion 14.

Case — Great First Impressions

Build quality and design are better than expected from a budget laptop. The metal surfaces are firm, warping is minimal, and we can notice no creaking or visual faults. The chassis feels as good as it looks unlike some Chuwi laptops that tend to suffer from QA issues like creaky hinges or broken keyboard keys.

For future models, we would like to see stiffer hinges and a narrower chin bezel. The hinges here aren't terrible, but making them stronger would give a better sense of longevity.
