Intel Arc B-series graphics processing units (GPUs) was launched by the company on Tuesday. Codenamed Battlemage, the new GPUs target price points which are accessible to creators and gamers, enabling them to play popular titles in up to 1440p resolution at over 60 frames per second (fps), according to the US chipmaker. The B-series comprises two GPU models called Intel Arc B580 and Arc B570, with both of them supporting features such as XeSS 2 upscaling technology, frame generation, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Intel Arc B-Series GPUs Price, Availability
Intel Arc B580 graphics card will be available from add-in board partners such as Acer, ASRock, GUNNIR, ONIX Technology, MAXSUN, and Sparkle starting December 13 from $249 (roughly Rs. 21,000).
Meanwhile, the Intel Arc B570 GPU can be purchased from January 16 starting at $219 (roughly Rs. 19,000).
Intel Arc B-Series GPUs Specifications
Intel says its new Arc B-series GPUs deliver up to 70 percent better performance per Xe-core and up to 50 percent improved performance per watt compared to the previous generation. Both GPUs are built on Intel’s latest Xe2 architecture using TSMC’s N5 fabrication process. They support artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, leveraging the Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) engines.
The company says XeSS 2 incorporates three key technologies: XeSS Super Resolution, XeSS Frame Generation, and Xe Low Latency. XeSS Super Resolution provides AI-powered upscaling with support for over 150 games. Meanwhile, the XeSS Frame Generation leverages AI to add interpolated frames with the help of optical flow and motion vector reprojection. On the other hand, the Xe Low Latency is integrated with the game engine to deliver faster input responses.
Intel’s Arc B580 GPU is equipped with 20 second-generation Xe cores and 20 ray tracing units. According to the company, it has a peak clock speed of 2,670MHz and is equipped with 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a memory bandwidth of 456GB/s. It has a total board power (TBP) of 190W and a peak computational power of 233 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
Meanwhile, the Intel Arc B570 gets 18 Xe cores and 18 ray tracing units. It comes with 10GB of DDR6 memory, a memory bandwidth of 380GB/s, and a peak clock speed of 2,500MHz. Its peak computational power is rated at 203 TOPS with a 150W TBP.
Paired with the Intel Graphics Software, the B-series GPUs provide access to a range of display settings such as colour and scaling modes, and variable refresh rate (VRR) support.
Infinix has made steady efforts to make its presence felt in the laptop segment. The brand has consistently launched laptops that cater to different segments like gaming or thin and light categories. With the launch of its Inbook Air Pro+, the company plans to disrupt the market with some value-for-money proposition. Priced at Rs. 49,990, the latest laptop from the brand comes loaded with some interesting specifications, including a slim and lightweight design, a 13th Intel Core i5 processor, an OLED display, and more. So, does it make sense to go for this laptop? Let’s find out in this in-depth review.
Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ Laptop Design: Sleek and Lightweight
Dimension – 315.6 x 225.6 x 15.3mm
Weight – 1kg
Colours – Silver, Brown
Infinix has made sure you get some premium-looking laptops at this price segment with the latest machine. At a time when most of the affordable laptops come with not-so-great designs, the Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ stands out with its sleek and light profile.
The laptop is available in two colour options: Silver and Brown.
The laptop weighs 1kg and offers 4.5mm thickness at the slimmest point, making it one lightest and thinnest laptops in this segment. The device is available in two colour options: Silver and Brown. I got the former for the review, and it sure gives a decent look, though you might find some similarities to the MacBook Air in terms of design.
The laptop shell is made using aluminium and magnesium alloy, which offers some durability. The built quality is decent enough. The lid provides a smooth texture with the brand’s logo at the centre. However, the sturdiness of the lid is not so great. First of all, you will feel some tightness when opening the lid, and the hinge does not feel that strong as the wobble issue persists here. Opening the lid, you will find a backlit keyboard and a large touchpad.
The Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ comes wtih some good connectivity ports.
As for the ports, the laptop offers a decent amount of ports for everyday usage. You get two USB Type-C ports and a HDMI port on the left side. On the right side, there is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB Type-C port. That said, the Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ does offer a sleek design language, which is surely a plus point in this price segment.
Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ Display: Smooth and Vibrant
Display – 14-inch OLED screen
Resolution – 2.8K (1800×2880 pixels)
Refresh Rate – 120Hz
Coming to the display, the Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ packs a decent display in a compact form factor. The device is packed with a 2.8K (1800×2880 pixel) resolution and offers a 14-inch OLED display. The colour reproduction of the device is really good, and you will enjoy watching movies on it. The saturation levels are good enough, all thanks to the OLED screen. The laptop also has a 120Hz screen refresh rate, making the animation much smoother than the standard 60Hz panels.
The laptop is one of the few in the segment that comes equipped with an OLED screen and 120Hz screen refresh rate.
The laptop comes loaded with up to 440 nits of peak brightness, which is good enough for the indoor work environment. However, it is not that great for outdoor conditions, primarily because of the reflective screen. So, if a light source is directly behind you, you might face some trouble using the laptop’s screen.
Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ Keyboard, Touchpad, Speakers, and Webcam
Keyboard – Backlit keyboard
Webcam -Full HD+ IR camera
Speakers – Quad Speakers
The Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ offers a backlit chiclet-styled keyboard. The LEDs are decent enough to give a comfortable typing experience in low-light conditions and come with two levels of brightness.
The laptop comes with a backlit keyboard and a large touchpad.
Coming to the performance, there is a decent key travel with some little tactile feedback. That said, the typing experience was decent enough for a short-term basis, but during prolonged sessions, you will feel a bit tired. That said, you get a dedicated CoPilot key right next to
The laptop also comes with a large touchpad slab made of glass. The overall experience is pretty average, to be honest. However, the response is good, with no rattling sound when you click. However, the right and left click is placed at the very bottom, which makes it difficult to reach. So, pairing a Bluetooth mouse could be a better alternative.
In terms of security, you get an IR-based camera for Windows Hello support, which is a rare thing in this price segment. The IR-based Windows Hello feature works effortlessly, even when the lights are dim in the room. The FUll HD camera is also decent for video calls, and the dual microphone captures the sound nicely. The audio output is also good on this one. The four speakers are loud enough but lack some punch on higher volumes.
Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ Software: Decent
Operating System – Windows 11 Pro
Other Features – Flashlink
The Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ runs the Windows 11 Pro operating system. The device also comes with a Copilot AI along with a dedicated Copilot button, which is now becoming a standard in the laptop segment. You can simply log in with your Microsoft account and ask multiple questions to the chatbot. The laptop also comes with a Flash LInk feature that helps with the effortless sharing of content between your mobile device and laptop.
Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ Performance: Reliable for Daily Usage
Chipset – Intel Core i5-1334U SoC
RAM – 16GB LPDDR4X
ROM – 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD
GPU – Intel Iris Xe Graphics
The thin and light Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ is powered by the 13th Intel Core i5-1334U processor. It also packs 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Coming to the performance, the Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ is a reliable machine at this price segment. I have compiled some synthetic benchmarks to give you a glimpse of its performance.

That said, the laptop glides effortlessly during day-to-day tasks. So, whether be it scrolling on the web, watching movies, editing documents or photos, the laptop performance is stable in most cases. Even with heavy multitasking, like opening multiple tabs, playing YouTube, and writing an article on Microsoft Word, the laptop is good enough. The thermal performance is also good throughout the day, which is good.
The Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ is powered by 13th Intel Core i5 processor that delivers stable day-to-day performance.
However, it is not suitable for running heavy tasks like video or photo editing but works great as an office device. You can also run casual arcade games on this machine, but not expect much with recent or graphics-heavy games.
The Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ comes loaded with an average battery life. The device comes with 57W power support, which might not seem extensive, but it can glide throughout the day with mild usage. However, if you are doing some heavy office work, then the laptop will deliver close to five hours of battery life. However, the fast-charging support comes in handy in this situation, and the laptop can be fully charged in under two hours.
Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ Laptop Verdict
The Infinix Inbook Air Pro+ is an interesting offering at this price point. The laptop offers a sleek and lightweight design and offers a decent display. The laptop comes with a stable performance, which is enough to glide throughout the day without much hassle. However, it does come with some share of misses. The reflective screen makes it a bit tough to see the screen in outdoor conditions, while the touchpad needs to be more precise. That said, for Rs 49,990, it is still one of the slimmest and lightest laptops available in the market that can deliver stable performance.
Google is reportedly gearing up to re-enter the laptop space with a Pixel-branded laptop. The tech giant has allegedly assigned a team dedicated to this project and the brand could pack reasonably advanced hardware on the upcoming device. The so-called Pixel laptop may run on Android instead of ChromeOS. It is expected to compete against Apple’s MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, and Microsoft Surface in the market. Google announced its last Pixel laptop — Pixelbook Go — in 2019.
Google Is Reportedly in the Early Stages of a Pixel Laptop Project
Android Headlines, citing an internal mail, reports that Google will soon be returning to the laptop market with a new premium Pixel laptop. The laptop codenamed “Snowy” is being compared internally with other high-end laptops, including the MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, Microsoft Surface and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. Therefore it is speculated to come with high-end specifications.
Google has reportedly assigned a team dedicated to this project. Google’s Pixel laptop is said to have a premium build as the company is looking to target the premium market. It is said to run on Chrome OS.
Additionally, a report by Android Headlines suggests that Google’s rumoured Pixel laptop will run a new version of desktop Android. Unfortunately, both reports do not include a timeline for the launch of the Pixel-branded laptop.
It has been a long time since Google released a Pixel laptop. The brand unveiled Pixelbook Go in October 2019 at its Made By Google event alongside Google Pixel Buds, Nest Wifi, and Nest Mini. The first Chromebook with Pixel branding was launched in 2013.
The Pixelbook Go came with a Chrome OS and has Intel Core M3 processors on the base variant, and Intel Core i7 processors on the higher-end variant. It sports a 13.3-inch display and is offered in 8GB or 16GB RAM options. It has 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB storage variants as well.
Logitech G has announced two new gaming mice and a gaming keyboard in India. They are the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex, Pro 2 Lightspeed, and the Pro X TKL Rapid.

Apple has announced a RAM upgrade for the MacBook Air lineup alongside new MacBook Pro models with M4 chips. In a surprise move, the Cupertino-based company has doubled the base RAM configuration on M2 and M3 MacBook Air models to 16GB, from the current 8GB, without a corresponding price increase. Besides RAM, nothing else will change about the laptops. Both models will feature 13.6-inch Liquid Retina displays. The model with M3 offers 512GB storage, while the M2 version has 256GB storage.
MacBook Air Base Model Gets 16GB of RAM
During the Mac event on Wednesday (October 30), Apple announced that it has increased the base memory of its M2 and M3 MacBook Air models to 16GB without changing pricing. Both versions of the MacBook Air were sold with 8GB of RAM. The lineup still starts at $999 (roughly Rs. 83,000) in the US. It is offered in Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Space Gray colours.
In India, the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chipset is priced at Rs. 1,14,900 for the base 16GB RAM variant. The 13-inch MacBook Air with M3 chipset with 16GB RAM can be purchased for Rs. 1,34,900.
The increased memory will offer more resources for Apple Intelligence features announced in the macOS Sequoia update. It is likely to enhance app operation and multitasking capability as well. Apple launched the latest 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M3 chipset in March this year. The brand is likely to bring new models with the M4 chip same time next year.
Beyond a RAM update, the hardware features of the MacBook Air will remain unchanged. They’ll keep the same 13.6-inch Liquid Retina panels with a peak brightness of 500nits. The M3 version packs 512GB SSD for storage, whereas the M2 starts at 256GB. The MacBook Air models also include MagSafe 3 charging port, and two Thunderbolt/ USB 4 ports for connectivity.

October
Announcements
In
a
post
on
X
(formerly
Twitter),
Greg
Joswiak,
Senior
Vice
President
of
Marketing
at
Apple
announced
that
the
Cupertino-based
tech
giant
will
make
a
series
of
announcements
related
to
hardware
next
week;
starting
October
28.
Attendees
will
witness
announcements
related
to
Mac,
in
line
with
Apple’s
strategy
in
previous
events
held
in
the
same
month.
However,
unlike
them,
this
could
be
spread
over
the
span
of
a
week
instead
of
a
single-day
event.
Apple
debuted
its
latest
Silicon
chipset
dubbed
M4
in
the
summer
with
the
new
generation
iPad
Pro
models.
It
is
speculated
to
finally
arrive
on
the
latest
MacBook
Pro
models
too,
starting
with
the
14
and
16-inch
models.
In
recent
weeks,
retail
boxes
of
the
purported
MacBook
Pro
powered
by
the
M4
chipset
have
surfaced
on
YouTube,
in
what
is
being
called
one
of
the
biggest
Apple
leaks
to
date.
Thus,
this
laptop
is
speculated
to
mark
its
debut.
Apple
Intelligence
—
the
company’s
suite
of
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
features
for
the
iPhone
and
other
devices
—
is
also
said
to
be
finally
rolled
out
to
the
public
with
the
iOS
18.1
update.
The
features
were
first
previewed
at
the
WWDC
2024
event
in
June
and
were
expected
to
headline
the
new
iPhone
16
series,
but
they
have
been
delayed.
The
company
promised
Apple
Intelligence’s
rollout
in
October
and
Bloomberg’s
Mark
Gurman
suggested
October
28
as
the
most
likely
date
for
its
introduction,
which
coincides
with
the
Apple
announcements.
Apple
is
working
on
an
updated
MacBook
Air
with
the
company’s
current
generation
M4
chip
that
is
expected
to
arrive
in
“early
2025”,
according
to
a
report.
The
Cupertino
company
is
also
developing
a
new
Mac
Studio
model
that
is
also
equipped
with
an
M4
chip,
but
it
has
reportedly
been
delayed
by
a
few
months.
Meanwhile,
Apple
is
expected
to
launch
new
M4-powered
Mac
models
next
week,
including
a
new
iMac,
MacBook
Pro,
and
Mac
mini,
in
what
is
likely
to
be
the
company’s
last
hardware
launch
of
the
year.
Apple
Could
Launch
M4
MacBook
Air
Model
in
Early
2025
A
Bloomberg
report
citing
people
aware
of
the
matter
states
that
Apple
could
soon
begin
production
of
new
M4
MacBook
Air
models
that
could
be
launched
by
the
company
in
early
2025,
alongside
new
iPhone
SE,
iPad,
and
iPad
Air
models.
The
current
generation
MacBook
Air
with
an
M3
chip
was
introduced
in
March,
and
a
refreshed
model
with
a
more
powerful
processor
could
arrive
around
the
same
time
next
year.
Apple’s
upcoming
MacBook
Air
models
will
be
available
in
13-inch
(codenamed J713)
and
15-inch
(J715)
display
sizes
and
will
feature
the
same
design
as
the
current
generation
MacBook
Air
models,
according
to
the
report.
These
variants
are
likely
to
be
introduced
after
a
software
update
that
is
expected
to
arrive
in
December.
Meanwhile,
an
updated
Mac
Studio
model
with
an
M4
chip
(codenamed
J575)
won’t
be
announced
in
the
first
quarter,
according
to
Bloomberg.
It
will
reportedly
be
launched
between
March
and
June,
and
there’s
no
word
on
when
Apple
will
refresh
the
Mac
Pro
with
an
M4
chip.
This
claim
was
first
made
by
Bloomberg’s
Mark
Gurman
earlier
this
year.
