MagyarInfinix INBook X2 laptop review: The thinner and lighter INBook X1 Pro
It's only been half a year since we reviewed the InBook X1 Pro and Infinix is already preparing to launch the InBook X2. Much like with last year's model, the InBook X2 targets the budget to midrange price range while offering more alluring specifications and looks to set itself apart from others. It also just happens to be the second laptop model ever from the manufacturer thus far.
Competitors to the InBook X2 include budget to midrange 14-inch thin-and-light laptops like the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14, Asus VivoBook S14, Dell Inspiron series, or the HP Pavilion 14.

Case — Colorful Metal
Infinix utilizes similar metal alloy materials between the InBook X1 Pro and InBook X2 for a similar feel between the two models. The biggest difference lies in their dimensions and weight as the InBook X2 has narrower bezels for smaller dimensions and a noticeably lighter weight (1.2 kg vs. 1.5 kg). Chassis rigidity is slightly better than on an Asus VivoBook or Lenovo IdeaPad 3 but worse than on a higher-end Dell XPS 13 or HP Spectre. The base, keyboard center, and lid all twist more readily when compared to the aforementioned pricier alternatives.
Connectivity — No Thunderbolt Support
Port options are not the same as on last year's model. The proprietary barrel charger port and one USB-A port, for example, have both been dropped. Keep in mind that the HDMI port can only support external monitors at up to 4K and 30 Hz instead of 4K and 60 Hz.
Though there are two USB-C ports, only the left one is capable of charging the laptop or outputting to external monitors. The right USB-C port cannot do either.
Annoyingly, the right USB-A port is upside down whereas the left USB-A port is right-side up. This is perhaps the first laptop we've seen with such a counterintuitive USB configuration.
SD Card Reader
The integrated MicroSD card reader remains slow much like how it was on the InBook X1 Pro.

Communication — Wi-Fi 5 Only
The Intel 9461 comes standard for Wi-Fi 5 connectivity and theoretical speeds of up to 433 Mbps compared to over twice that on the latest Wi-Fi 6 modules likely to save on costs. We experienced no connectivity issues when paired to our Netgear RAX200 test router. In contrast, the InBook X1 Pro would ship with Wi-Fi 6.
Webcam
Webcam clarity has improved over the InBook X1, but colors and resolution haven't changed.
New to the InBook X2 are two front-facing white LEDs next to the webcam to improve lighting if in a dark room. These LEDs are more trouble than they are worth, however, as the light is blinding and uncomfortable.
Maintenance
The bottom panel pops off relatively easily once its 11 Philips screws are removed. Users can only upgrade the lone M.2 PCIe3 x4 SSD as both RAM and WLAN are soldered.
Accessories and Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. The one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies. Claiming warranty can be difficult as it may require overseas shipping.
Input Devices — Comfortable and Clicky
Keyboard
The keyboard is identical to the one on the InBook X1 Pro for an identical typing experience. A backlight is available here to illuminate all keys and symbols whereas such a feature was absent on the older InBook X1 Pro.
Touchpad
The clickpad is larger than the one on the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 (12.5 x 7 cm vs. 10.5 x 7 cm) while being slightly narrower than the clickpad on the InBook X1 Pro. Cursor control is smooth and responsive without any sudden jumps or stops. The integrated clickpad buttons also have satisfying feedback when pressed, but they are shallow and relatively loud as a consequence.
Display — Wide Colors, Slow Response Times
Infinix is using a different panel for its InBook X2 when compared to the InBook Pro X1. The newer panel is brighter but with otherwise similar color reproduction and contrast levels. Unfortunately, black-white and gray-gray response times are much slower this time around for noticeable ghosting. This effect is most evident when moving the cursor or when running fast-moving games.

* ... smaller is better
The panel covers approximately 90 percent of sRGB not unlike many mid-range or higher-end Ultrabooks. Budget or lower-end models would typically cover just 60 percent of sRGB to be unfit for graphics editing.
Grayscale is too cool out of the box and colors suffer as a result. Once calibrated, average grayscale and color deltaE values would improve by relatively wide margins from 5.8 to 2.2 and 4.9 to 1.59, respectively. We recommend calibrating the display to better exploit its wide sRGB color range.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 10000 Hz | ≤ 99 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 10000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 10000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17924 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The brighter display makes the InBook X2 easier to use outdoors than with the Asus VivoBook S14 or older InBook Pro X1. Some glare will be inevitable, but it is at least not as distracting as on other laptops with glossy panels.
Performance — 10th Gen Intel Ice Lake
Testing Conditions
Our unit was set to High Performance mode via Windows for the best possible benchmark scores.
Processor
CPU performance is about 10 to 15 percent slower than the average Core i7-1065G7 laptop in our database. Turbo Boost clock rates fluctuate over long periods much like what we discovered on last year's InBook X1 Pro. CineBench R15 xT loop scores would consequently fluctuate between 490 and 560 points whereas the score would remain flat on most other Ultrabooks.
Note that the CPU in the InBook X1 Pro is consistently outperforming our CPU in the InBook X2 even though both systems are using the same processor. This is further explored in our Stress Test and Power Consumption sections below.

System Performance
PCMark scores are noticeably lower than on the Xenia 14 with the newer Tiger Lake Core i7-1165G7 CPU but otherwise comparable to the first generation InBook X1 Pro. Subjectively, navigating through Windows 11 feels a bit clunky on this system as there slight delays when opening file explorer and other applications.

Storage Devices — Room For Just One
A 512 GB Foresee GSYAPGC M.2 2280 PCIe3 x4 NVMe SSD comes standard with sequential read and write rates approaching 2500 MB/s and 1500 MB/s, respectively. It's a midrange NVMe SSD that doesn't come close to the pricier Samsung PM981a, but it is otherwise more than enough given the processor and hardware that it is paired to.
The SSD exhibits no performance falloff when running DiskSpd in a loop to suggest no thermal throttling.

GPU Performance — Better Than Any UHD Graphics 620
Overall graphics performance is about where we expect it to be relative to other laptops with the same integrated Iris Plus G7 GPU. We suspect that results could have been slightly higher if it were not for the lower-than-average CPU performance noted above and limited 8 GB of RAM. Even so, the Iris Plus G7 is still much faster than the older UHD Graphics 620.
Frame rates would fluctuate between 40 and 50 FPS when running Witcher 3 on low 720p settings due to fluctuating GPU clock rates.

Emissions
System Noise
Fan noise is generally louder on the InBook X2 than on the InBook X1 Pro. Undemanding tasks like web browsing or word processing would occasionally cause the fan to pulse to 28 dB(A) against a silent background of 23.1 dB(A). Fan noise would stabilize at 38 dB(A) when running higher loads like games. Though generally not very loud, the fan is somewhat high-pitched and thus more noticeable than we would like.

Temperature
Surface temperatures are noticeably warmer on the left half of the keyboard than on the right since the processor located directly underneath here. The temperature difference can be as high as 15 C between the two halves of the keyboard when running very high loads for extended periods. The keys are thankfully never warm enough to be uncomfortable.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 45 °C / 113 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 44.2 °C / 112 F, compared to the average of 39.1 °C / 102 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 23.5 °C / 74 F, compared to the device average of 31.2 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.6 °C / 79.9 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (+2.2 °C / 3.9 F).

Stress Test
When stressed under Prime95, CPU clock rates would spike to 3.9 GHz for just the first second or so before reaching a core temperature of 99 C. Clock rates would then steadily slow and eventually cycle between 1.4 GHz and 1.7 GHz and with a cycling core temperature of 68 C and 75 C. This cycling behavior was also observed on the InBook X1 Pro as well and it explains the cycling CineBench R15 xT loop results from above. CPU package power would spike to 44 W during the start of the Prime95 stress test before falling and stabilizing at around 15 W.
We observed similar results when running Witcher 3 to represent high or gaming loads. The GPU and core temperature would cycle between 750 and 950 MHz and 64 C and 70 C, respectively, whereas most other laptops would run at fixed clock rates and temperatures. Frame rates when gaming tend to cycle on the Infinix system as a result.
Running on battery power will not impact performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores 8961 and 3935 points, respectively, compared to 8909 and 3968 points when on mains.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
The InBook X2 comes with a small 45 W (~9 x 5.3 x 3 cm) AC adapter. whereas the InBook X1 comes with a higher capacity 65 W AC adapter. The InBook X1 is able to reach higher power consumption values and squeeze more performance from the same Core i7-1065G7 CPU as a result. Gaming would draw around 47 W on the InBook X1 Pro while the InBook X2 would be around 40 W only. We're able to measure a maximum draw of 45 W on the newer model versus 59 W on the older one when subjected to extreme processing stress.

Battery Life
Expect just over 6.5 hours of real-world WLAN use from the internal 50 Wh battery. Charging from empty to full capacity takes about an hour and 45 minutes.
Annoyingly, only the left USB-C port supports charging.

Verdict — A Sideways Step For The Series
The InBook X2 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the InBook X1 Pro. Its thinner and lighter profile, brighter display, and keyboard backlight are its main three advantages over the older first generation model. The model is otherwise not any faster, longer-lasting, or even quieter than its predecessor. Perhaps we'll need to wait for an "InBook X2 Pro" before we can see these benefits.
The InBook X2 improves upon the InBook X1 Pro in several areas while maintaining the excellent display colors of the original. However, it's also worse in several areas to make the system feel like a sideways step for the series.
The system still compares favorably against other budget to lower midrange alternatives like the Asus VivoBook S14 or Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14 especially in terms of display quality. Infinix has invested more on the display for deeper and brighter colors without compromising on chassis design or portability. The older 10th generation Intel CPU may be a deal breaker for some, but it remains more than sufficient for general web browsing, video playback, and multitasking. Most users don't need an 11th gen Intel part for running such tasks in the first place.
