Jan 31, 2023, 04:44 pm
Infinix’s ZERO BOOK series laptops have finally made their way to India, after numerous teasers.
The line-up consists of two models, the standard ZERO BOOK and the ZERO BOOK ULTRA, which start at Rs. 49,990 and Rs. 79,990, respectively.
The laptops are offered with 12th-generation Intel Core processors, LPDDR5 RAM, Infinix’s ICE STORM 2.0 cooling system, and a 70Wh battery with 96W fast charging.
Why does this story matter?
- Infinix is aiming big with its ZERO BOOK series in India.
- While the standard model is targeted at mid-range buyers, the BOOK ULTRA goes against Apple’s MacBook Air M1, Samsung’s GalaxyBook2 series, and high-end offerings from HP, ASUS, and Lenovo.
- The ULTRA even stands out for its aggressively-priced top-end model, which features a 12th-generation Intel Core i9 processor with a 32GB/1TB configuration.
