With the sheer number of streaming platforms available at our fingertips, who wouldn’t want to pick up a laptop that is tailored for binge-watching movies and TV shows? With the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale going on in full swing, now is as best time as ever to get an Intel® Evo™ laptop that is perfect for binge-watching! These laptops need to have bigger displays for greater immersion with panels that offer good colour reproduction for more natural-looking visuals. But before we get to the best options, let’s answer the biggest question on your mind. Why Intel® Evo™?
The first thing you need to know about Intel® Evo™ is that not every laptop gets the certification. In order to be certified by Intel, a laptop will need to ensure that certain minimum requirements are met. These criteria include performance, connectivity, battery life and more. So when you get an Intel® Evo™ laptop, you can rest assured knowing that you are getting a laptop that has passed a stringent series of checks.
Further, the latest edition of Intel® Evo™ laptops features the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. These are the latest generation of processors from the company and as such, boast cutting-edge technologies. This includes the architecture that the processors are based on. 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors feature the improved Performance Hybrid Architecture that pairs P-Cores (Performance Cores) with E-Cores (Efficiency Cores). The P-Cores are designed for resource-intensive tasks that need more power. Meanwhile, the E-Cores are designed to manage multi-threaded workloads and background tasks. The latest Intel® Evo™ laptops can offer up to 14 P-Cores and E-Cores.
But that’s not all, you also get a choice of Intel® Core™ i5 or Intel® Core™ i7 processors. The Intel® Core™ i5 is a more budget-friendly option and the inclusion of the Intel® Iris® Xe iGPU should ensure that your new laptop can do much more than just stream movies and videos. However, if you require even more performance, then an Intel® Core™ i7 can offer enough performance levels to take on pretty much any task, especially when paired with a discrete GPU. Regardless of what you choose, you can be sure that your new Intel® Evo™ laptop will be able to stream videos online or play movies locally without much issue.
Hate having to pause the action when watching movies? With Intel® Evo™, you won’t have to worry about that. You can seamlessly pair your iOS or Android smartphone with your laptop thanks to Intel® Unison™ and Windows 11. Now you can receive calls, messages and notifications straight onto your laptop. So you will never have to take your eyes off the action. Not only that, but the feature also lets you quickly transfer files between your phone and laptop. How cool is that!
As someone who loves movies and TV shows so much, it would be a shame if you didn’t look your best in front of the camera. Thankfully, video calls are better than ever on Intel® Evo™ so you look great when taking calls. This is made possible thanks to a suite of features called Intelligent Collaboration. With this, you get suppressed background noise, background blur, and face-framing.
Of course, connectivity is key when it comes to streaming videos online. Thankfully, you get the best with Intel® Evo™ as it comes with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+). This means that the laptop supports 6GHz connectivity for faster and more stable wireless connections ensuring you don’t have to deal with buffering when streaming videos. In terms of physical ports, all Intel® Evo™ laptops will offer at least one Thunderbolt™ 4 port. This port not only supports power delivery. But also, but also high-speed data transmission. So it can be used to connect the laptop to a bigger screen such as a TV for even greater immersion.
Did a new season of your favourite TV show just drop? With the Instant Wake feature on Intel® Evo™ laptops, you’ll be able to watch it before anyone spoils it for you! This feature wakes the laptop up from sleep in less than a second. So you can start binge-watching as soon as possible. Meanwhile, features such as biometric authentication and smartphone unlocking ensure that you won’t have to worry about typing in your password every time you want to unlock your laptop.
If you are someone who loves to binge-watch while travelling or commuting, then you will love the battery life of Intel® Evo™ laptops. These devices will offer a minimum of 9.5+ hours of use, letting you watch entire seasons with ease. As if that wasn’t cool enough, these laptops also support fast charging. So a 30-minute charge will be more than enough to offer up to four hours of battery life!
All Intel® Evo™ laptops come with Windows 11, letting you enjoy all the cool new features. For example, pressing the Windows logo key + Z opens up Snap Assist. This lets you arrange the open windows in a grid pattern on the screen. So you could be streaming your favourite TV show on the left half of your screen while working on the right half. You also pin your favourite OTT apps straight to the Windows Start Menu so that you have quick access. There is also the Widget board where you can pin useful widgets. Of course, safety and security are of paramount importance. Windows Security protects against hackers trying to steal valuable information, while the use of biometrics in Windows Hello adds an extra layer of security, instead of relying solely on passwords.
