1kg, sub-$600 Apple MacBook Air rival pops up in India – Infinix Air Pro+ has twice the memory, twice the storage, an OLED screen, but is somehow almost half the price
If you want to buy a MacBook Air but your budget isn’t really that big, Infinix has launched a lightweight, highly affordable Windows 11 alternative that offers an impressive range of features that promise to compete with higher-end competitors.
The Inbook Air Pro+ weighs just 1kg, putting it firmly in the thin and light category – ideal for everyday use, performance, processing and multitasking.
Equipped with Intel’s 13th generation Core i5 processor (1334U), with 10 cores, a 4.6 GHz turbo boost and integrated Iris – doubling the memory and storage capacity of the entry-level MacBook Air. An advanced cooling system with 79 precision-engineered 0.2mm S-shaped fan blades prevents the device from overheating under load.
Short battery life
One of the highlights of the Air Pro+ is the 14-inch OLED 2.8K (2880 x 1800) screen. It’s rare to see an OLED panel at this price, so that alone is a great selling point. With an aspect ratio of 16:10, a peak brightness of 440 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, it promises vivid, sharp images. The screen also supports 100% of both sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts, ensuring accurate color reproduction – ideal for creative professionals.
The Air Pro+ has all the ports you expect on a modern laptop, such as USB-C, HDMI 1.4 and USB 3.2. It also comes with a Full HD+ IR webcam that supports facial recognition and a backlit keyboard. Wireless connectivity is provided in the form of WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
The 57Wh battery life is claimed by Infinix to last up to 8 to 10 hours, which should be just enough to get you through a full workday. By comparison, the Apple MacBook Air offers up to 18 hours. The Air Pro+ supports at least 65W Type-C fast charging.
Currently priced at 49,990 Indian Rupees (approximately $600) on Flipkart, the Infinix Air Pro+ offers impressive specs for its price, offering a tempting option for budget-conscious buyers who need performance and portability without breaking the bank.
