Infinix has made laptops before, but this is their first attempt at a gaming laptop. Infinix GT Book Was Unveiled With the Infinix GT 20 gaming phone in India. It is equipped with up to 13th-generation Intel processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. The laptop has a unique design that will definitely grab some attention and is priced competitively too. I have had the Infinix GT Book with me for the past few days, and although I haven’t had time to get to know it fully, here are my initial impressions.
First, I’ll talk about the design. The Infinix GT Book looks great thanks to the Cyber Mecha design, which you’ll also find on some of the brand’s recent smartphones. The top and bottom lid are made of metal, and have a matte finish, which helps keep fingerprints and smudges at bay. There’s also a Mecha Loop emblem on the lid. Overall, the GT Book feels well-built, and yes, you can open the lid with just one hand. Infinix claims that this is the lightest gaming laptop, with a 16-inch display and weighing 1.99 kg.
Mecha Bar is an RGB bar that can be customized
It also has some RGB lighting in the form of a thin bar located on the back called the Mecha Bar. There are also exhaust vents at the rear. The bottom panel has an orange grill for the intake fans and sturdy rubber feet to keep the laptop in place. All RGB on the laptop is customizable using the GT Control Center, but I’ll talk more about the experience in my full review.
Opening the lid reveals a full-sized keyboard with 4-zone RGB lighting and a small touchpad. Then there’s the 16-inch display which has an anti-glare coating, thin bezels on the sides and slightly thicker bezels on the top and bottom. The display offers a 16:10 aspect ratio, full-HD resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 300 nits of brightness. At first glance, it looks like a good display for gaming. The top bezel houses a 1080p webcam and dual microphones.

Before I talk about the internals, let’s take a look at the ports on the laptop. You get two USB Type-A 3.2 ports, an SD card slot, HDMI 2.0, and a USB Type-C DP port. In terms of connectivity, the Infinix GT Book features up to dual-band WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The company ships a 210W power adapter in the box which can definitely be used as a weapon. I think Infinix has done a good job with the port selection here.
Well, talking about the internals, the Infinix GT Book has a 70 Whr battery, two fans for cooling, up to 32GB of non-upgradeable LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 1TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. The laptop can be configured with up to a 13th-generation Intel Core i9 13900H processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB of VRAM. Our review unit came with a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 12450H processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 with 6GB of video RAM, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 512GB of PCIe 4.0 storage. There is also a variant that comes with a 13th-generation Intel Core i5 chipset and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU.
The laptop has orange accents on the vents and speaker grilles
The base variant, which I am testing, is priced at Rs 59,990. It has a total graphics power (TGP) of 80W, while the other two variants offer a slightly higher 90W TGP. I will be thoroughly testing the laptop to see how well it performs in gaming.
For a first effort, I think Infinix has done a good job with the GT Book gaming laptop. The price is good, and as part of a limited time launch offer, users will also get some freebies when they purchase the laptop. The freebie includes an RGB gaming mouse, RGB gaming headphones, and an RGB gaming mousepad. Although the internals are older than most of the latest gaming laptops, they should be good enough for gaming, video editing, etc. Stay tuned to our full review to find out if the Infinix GT Book is a good gaming laptop to buy.
