This is why the latest Intel® Evo™ laptops are perfect for your next upgrade this festive season!

The festive season marks the start of new beginnings and what better way to kickstart a new beginning than with an Intel® Evo™ laptop? These devices are the perfect upgrade option for those looking for a powerful and reliable laptop. In this piece, we will be looking at why Intel® Evo™ laptops make the perfect upgrade!

The power of the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors

First and foremost, the latest edition of the Intel® Evo™ platform features 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. From the impressively powerful Intel® Core™ i5 to the all-out performer that is the Intel® Core™ i7 these laptops have something for everyone. Those with a tighter budget might want to consider upgrading to an Intel® Core™ i5-powered Intel® Evo™ laptop. These devices offer more than enough performance for most use cases. The integrated Intel® Iris® Xe GPU in these laptops ensure that the laptop can even take on some graphically intensive tasks or even some casual gaming.

In case you require greater performance, then you should consider picking up an Intel® Evo™ laptop that is powered by an Intel® Core™ i7 processor. This will ensure that the laptops are ready for pretty much any task. Once you add discrete graphics cards into the mix, things get much more interesting as the laptop will be powerful enough for graphically demanding work such as video editing.

Performance with battery efficiency

But regardless of the one you choose, note that you will get to enjoy all the benefits of the improved Performance Hybrid Architecture. First introduced in the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, the architecture sees a combination of P-Cores and E-Cores. P-Cores are Performance Cores and as the name suggests, they are designed for resource-intensive tasks such as gaming. E-Cores are Efficiency Cores and these manage multi-threaded workloads and background tasks. The workloads between the cores are optimised by the Intel® Thread Director. Together, they ensure that the processor offers performance with battery efficiency.

Streamline your work with Intel® Unison™

Intel® Evo™ laptops, when paired with Windows 11, grant you access to Intel® Unison™. This lets you receive calls, messages, and notifications from your iOS or Android smartphone on your Intel® Evo™ laptop so you never miss anything. You will also be able to quickly transfer files between the two devices. A very handy feature indeed.

Better video calls

Those who tend to partake in a lot of video calls will be pleased to know that upgrading to an Intel® Evo™ laptop will make video conferencing much better. The Intelligent Collaboration feature allows for improved quality thanks to features like automatic noise suppression, background blur, and face-framing. These features can be vital for professionals who rely on seamless and high-quality video conferencing.

Better connectivity with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt™ 4

Connectivity is a key consideration when getting a laptop and upgrading to Intel® Evo™ will ensure you have access to the latest and best connectivity standards. For starters, you will get Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) that supports 6GHz connectivity. This allows for faster and more stable wireless connections with reduced latency. In terms of physical connectivity, Intel® Evo™ laptops will offer at least one Thunderbolt™ 4. This versatile port not only supports high-speed data transmission but also power delivery.

Instantly awake

Upgrading to an Intel® Evo™ laptop will also let you experience the awesomeness of Instant Wake. These laptops can turn back on from sleep mode in less than a second. So you don’t have to wait to get started. Further, features such as biometric authentication and Bluetooth smartphone detection, make it easier than ever to quickly unlock the laptop and get to work!

A battery that powers through the day

Another benefit of upgrading to an Intel® Evo™ laptop is the battery life. These laptops will offer a minimum of 9.5+ hours of battery life in one go. Not only that, but you also get fast charging capabilities. A 30-minute charge should be enough to ensure up to four hours of use. So when you eventually have to charge your Intel® Evo™ laptop, you won’t be waiting too long.

Windows 11 at the wheel

If you are already a Windows user, then upgrading to Intel® Evo™ makes a lot more sense. All Intel® Evo™ laptops come with Windows 11, the latest version of the popular OS. So not only will you be well versed with how the laptop works, but you also get access to a bunch of new features. This includes Snap Assist which can be instantly accessed by pressing the Windows logo key + Z. This lets you arrange your windows in a grid format, which helps improve productivity. You will also be able to pin their most used apps to the Windows Start Menu for quick access. Meanwhile, the Widgets Board lets you pin useful widgets like News or Weather. In terms of safety and privacy, Windows Security helps protect against hackers, while Windows Hello makes it harder for hackers to gain access as it uses biometrics for security instead of traditional passwords.

As one can see, those seeking to upgrade during this festive season will do well to pick an Intel® Evo™ laptop. Not only does it offer users a wide variety of options, but it also offers users the power, versatility and features that they deserve.
