Infinix Xbook 14 Neo Now Available In Malaysia; Retails From RM2,199

Infinix has introduced the Xbook 14 Neo laptop to the Malaysian market. The laptop is accessible for purchase via the brand's official website and social media store pages, though the pages are not yet fully operational. The Xbook 14 Neo is positioned as an entry-level laptop, aiming to compete with popular brands such as Apple's Macbook Neo.

At first glance, the laptop impresses with its lightweight design, weighing only 1.2kg and featuring a slim profile of 17.4mm. Its chassis comprises an aluminium alloy top and a carbon fibre base. Upon opening the laptop, users are greeted by a 14-inch IPS display, offering a Full HD+ (1,920 x 1,200) resolution and a peak brightness of 300 nits.

While not a high-end display, it is appropriate for its intended purpose. The Xbook 14 Neo offers two CPU options: an Intel Core i4-1315U and an Intel Core i5-1335U. Depending on the chosen processor, the laptop also comes with either 8GB or 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a storage capacity of either 256GB or 512GB. Both configurations utilize DDR4 RAM, rather than the more recent DDR5.

The laptop is powered by a 55Wh battery, which Infinix claims can provide up to 10 hours of continuous use. Additionally, the Xbook 14 Neo supports 65W USB-C PD charging. Pricing for the laptop starts at RM2,199 for the Core i3 model, which features an 8GB+256GB configuration. The Core i5 model, priced at RM2,699, offers the higher capacity option of 8GB+512GB.

The Xbook 14 Neo is available in three color options: Twilight Purple, Shadow Blue, and Volcano Grey.
