From price drops to No Cost EMI and even exchange offers, students can get their hands on some great laptops. And what better choice than an Intel® Evo™ laptop? So let’s quickly go through all the features that make it such a great buy for students. After that, we will look at a few of the best options that can be considered for purchase during the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale!
The first thing you need to understand is that to attain Intel® Evo™ certification, a laptop must meet stringent performance criteria. This ensures that the laptop will perform reliably. Just what students want. The latest edition of the Intel® Evo™ platform features the robust 13th Gen Intel® Core™ mobile processors. The Intel® Core™ i5 variants are aimed at being the budget-friendly choice while excelling in multitasking and daily tasks. When paired with the integrated Intel® Iris® Xe GPU, it becomes an ideal canvas for budding content creators and digital artists. It even supports casual gaming, a feature that students will surely appreciate.
For those requiring more power, the Intel® Core™ i7 variant steps in. These are perfect for students who are pursuing resource-intensive disciplines such as design, media production, animation, etc. This is especially true when it is paired with a discrete graphics card.
Regardless of a student’s requirement, both 13th Gen Intel® Core™ variants offer access to the Performance Hybrid Architecture. This combines resource-intensive Performance Cores (P-Cores) with power-efficient Efficiency Cores (E-Cores) to offer performance with battery efficiency. Meanwhile, the Intel® Thread Director intelligently distributes tasks to ensure optimised workloads. With the latest edition of Intel® Evo™ laptops, students can get up to 14 Performance Cores (P-Cores) and Efficiency Cores (E-Cores).
With Intel® Evo™, students can also improve their productivity across two devices thanks to Intel® Unison™ and Windows 11. This feature allows them to synchronize their iOS or Android smartphones with their laptops, letting them receive calls, messages and notifications directly on their laptops. The feature allows for a quick and easy file transfer between the two devices.
With the rise of online classrooms, students also need a laptop that can offer excellent video conferencing capabilities. Intel® Evo™ also shines bright in this regard as these laptops come with intelligent Collaboration. This ensures improved video calling thanks to features such as automatic noise suppression, background blur, and face-framing. Thereby ensuring that students don’t miss out on any important points.
Connectivity is also vital for students as they may be required to use a specific accessory in their studies. Thankfully, each Intel® Evo™ laptop is required to offer at least one Thunderbolt™ 4 port. This versatile port can not only handle power delivery but also allows for high-speed data transmission. Further, wireless connectivity is taken care of via Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) connectivity. This allows for faster and more stable connections while also reducing latency. All of this is further enhanced via the Intel® Connectivity Performance suite that further optimises Wi-Fi performance for increased stability.
Students can also rest assured knowing that their Intel® Evo™laptops spring back to life from sleep in less than a second. This is complemented by biometric authentication or Bluetooth smartphone detection for effortless unlocking. Thereby eliminating wait times and ensuring instant productivity.
Completing the Intel® Evo™ experience is exceptional battery life, lasting a minimum of 9.5+ hours. This longevity allows students to navigate through classes without worrying about battery charges. Fast charging capabilities ensure that with just a 30-minute charge, students get up to four hours of usage.
All Intel® Evo™ laptops come with Windows 11, ensuring compatibility with most software and apps designed for students. Windows 11 offers additional features such as pinning frequently used apps to the Start Menu for faster access, and Widgets Board for useful widgets. Students can also quickly access the Snap Assist feature by pressing the Windows logo key + Z. This lets them quickly arrange windows in a grid. Finally, enhanced security features like Windows Security and Windows Hello add an extra layer of protection against hackers and unauthorized access.
