Some stamps of approval are worth more than others.
A ‘World’s Best Cook’ apron you’ve bought yourself raises more questions than answers. An Olympic medal for the three-legged race will, and should, invite suspicion instead of acclaim.
But the Intel Evo badge is a different story.
Whether it’s made by Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, or any other popular laptop brand, you can rest assured that an Intel Evo machine has been rigorously tested by Intel themselves in over 75 key areas.
That’s a lot of benchmarks, so here are the highlights.
Processor
Any Intel Evo laptop will be sporting an 11th Gen or higher Intel processor. With the absolute bleeding edge generation being Intel Core Ultra, released just recently, you can be sure your new bundle of joy is packing an up-to-date CPU.
Battery life
Laptops are supposed to be portable. Huge screens and lightning fast processors are no good if there’s no juice to power them. Every Intel Evo laptop offers at least 9.5 hours of battery life, ensuring uninterrupted productivity during regular use, not just when it’s sitting blinking in the corner.
Slim & light
No one wants a laptop that won’t slip into a shoulder bag without pulling it off your shoulder. All Intel Evo laptops feature an ultra-thin bezel, packing the biggest possible screen size into its form factor, and come in at less than 3.3 pounds.
And the rest…
You can be sure of lots more key qualities.
Wakeup speeds of less than a second, biometric security, fast USB-C and WiFi 6E connectivity, at least 8GB of RAM and 256BG of storage. The list goes on.
So rest assured that any intel Evo laptop can be counted on to breeze through daily office workloads and multimedia tasks, all while looking great and lasting for hours.
For gamers and streamers, Intel Arc GPUs, especially those built-in to the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, offer high performance, cutting-edge technologies, and AI-powered visuals.
Running modern games is the most demanding task that will be asked of any new machine, and while these laptops may not run the most demanding titles at 4K with Ultra settings, you’ll still be able to enjoy stutter-free gaming at 1080p and still see the whites of their eyes (or red, if you’re fighting Orcs).
Intel Arc Graphics are a boon for creatives as well, with effortless image and video editing. Intel’s virtual camera feature turns your standard webcam into a superb conferencing device whether you have an audience of 5 or 5,000.
So, that’s the rundown. Here are some particularly good deals on these delectable little slices of tech.
