Kommersant FM columnist Alexander Levi talks about the features of models from the Chinese brand.

Infinix introduced a new line of InBook Y3 Max laptops in Russia. The vendor briefly describes their features as style, power, 16-inch display and affordable price.

The style of the new products is noticeably reflected in the famous design moves of Infinix: the colored metal body and different ways of polishing it are really attractive. Also on paper, the dimensions of 16-inch laptops look good – weight and thickness.

The declared power seems to be represented by 12th generation processors. It has not yet been possible to run them through synthetic tests, but it is unlikely that last year’s chips will fail in tests. The question is whether these numbers will be enough for the “power” status.

A battery life of over 14.5 hours, a 1080p LED webcam, a 7-inch tempered glass touchpad, a custom backlit keyboard, and DTS audio can only be verified through testing.

So far, we can say that a line of seven Infinix InBook Y3 Max configurations has reached retail, and the key differences in this palette relate to processors, RAM and the presence of an operating system. The storage capacity on all models is the same and is 512 GB.

For versions on Intel Core i3-1215U chips, there is one RAM configuration option – 8 GB. And the user has the right to choose a version with pre-installed Windows 11 or give preference to a laptop with “bare” DOS.

Fans of software nudity also have a choice among laptops with Intel Core i5-1235U. One with the same size of RAM as on the younger version of the InBook Y3 Max, and another with a capacity expanded to 16 GB. This pair of configurations is repeated for versions with the Microsoft platform on board.

The top-end configuration of the laptop is generally only one: it contains Windows 11, an Intel Core i7-1255U chip and 16 GB of RAM.

Considering the design of this “kaleidoscope” of layouts, it is worth understanding that, depending on the existing pattern, the difference in the cost of the younger and older laptop models is about a third, from 52.99 thousand rubles. up to 80.99 thousand rubles.
