There are literally THOUSANDS of laptop models to choose from, there is the Acer Swift 5 which weighs ONLY at a mere 1kg, the beautiful OLED screen on the ASUS Zenbook 13 or the super high fashion style laptop, the HP Spectre X360.



So, having many choices in itself can pose a HUGE problem because the question always is – Will you make the right choice?
And here is where Intel Evo comes in, and if you are wondering what Intel Evo is… Well, let me explain!
.
What’s Intel Evo?
So, let’s start from the very beginning. Think of Intel Evo as a set of high standards that Intel has devised for the premium thin and light category of devices.
If you remember Ultrabooks way back then, Intel created a set of strict guidelines and rules for manufacturers to adhere to make quality thin and light laptops.
Think of Intel Evo as a stamp of quality, like a SIRIM stamp, where you can be assured of a certain quality when you buy that particular product. So it is like a label you can trust, where you’re guaranteed great mobile performance on a laptop.
The Intel Evo brand is actually the consumer-facing evolution of Intel’s Project Athena laptop innovation programme introduced at CES 2019 that’s designed to re-envision how laptops are engineered, built, and delivered.
Major manufacturers are onboard the Intel Evo programme, now in its second edition, including brands like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI and more.
With Intel Evo, here are four game-changing things you can expect:
1. Incredible Performance and Responsiveness
2. Battery Life + Fast Charging
3. Lightning Fast Connectivity
4. Innovative and Engaging Form Factors
.
#1 Incredible Performance and Responsiveness
Thanks to 11th Gen Intel Core “Tiger Lake” processors with Iris Xe Graphics, you can expect amazing compute and graphics performance and responsiveness on Intel Evo thin and light laptops.
The 11th Gen Intel Core processors offer up to quad-core, eight-threads with up to 4.8GHz max single core turbo clock speeds and supporting up to LPDDR4X-4266 memory.



Gone are the days of laptops taking several minutes to wake up from sleep. With Intel Evo, you get an instant wake from sleep in less than a second. This means no matter where you’re working or playing from, you’ll always be up-and-running in no time which reminds me of the amazing responsiveness of the Dell XPS 13.
From 11th Gen Intel Core i3 to Core i5 and Core i7 processors, you’ll be able to work 1.38X faster, create up to 4.4X faster, play up to 2X more FPS, and connect up to 3X faster than competitor platforms.
If you’re a gaming enthusiast, you’ll be pleased to know that with Intel Iris Xe graphics, you can get up to 82% more FPS than competitor integrated graphics performance. And all this in an ultraportable form factor with a laptop like the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo!

#2 Battery Life + Fast Charging
While performance and responsiveness are important in the overall mobile experience, so is battery life. There’s nothing more annoying than having a laptop running only for a couple of hours, and worse still, it may take hours to get it charged up again.
With Intel Evo, all these gripes are a thing of the past, delivering at least 9 hours of battery life on Full HD resolution. So whether you’re on Zoom calls, social media, working on spreadsheets, editing photos, watching YouTube videos, or playing games, you can be rest assured that you’ll always have enough juice to last your day.
Now, if power does run low, Intel Evo ensures you can fast charge your way to productivity. With about just 30 minutes of charging, you’ll be able to gain up to 4 hours of usage.

#3 Lightning Fast Connectivity
Another crucial consideration when it comes to mobile performance in a laptop is connectivity because it certainly takes a whole lot more than just a great processor to deliver a great mobile experience.
With every Intel Evo laptop, you can expect next-generation connectivity including Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) or 6E and Thunderbolt 4 with USB4 like what it is in the Lenovo Yoga 9.
Without getting into too much technical detail, Wi-Fi 6 or 6E will give you nearly 3X faster speed and up to 75% lower overall latency compared to previous generations, providing you with improved performance and reliability as well as no legacy Wi-Fi interference or congestion.
So it’s less waiting, and more doing!
When it comes to connectivity to peripherals and more, there’s nothing more versatile and powerful than Thunderbolt 4, built from the ground up to be the truly universal cable for whatever you want to do.
With Thunderbolt 4, you can connect at high speed (up to 40 Gigabits per second) to Thunderbolt and USB peripherals like storage, keyboards, mice, and more; up to two 4K 60Hz or one 8K monitors; and connect to Gigabit Ethernet networks via an adapter.
That’s not all, it can even charge your phone or other compatible USB devices as well as enable video capture via PCIe devices.
Trust me on this, once you go Thunderbolt, you’ll never want to go back!
ONE CABLE is all you need.

#4 Innovative and Engaging Form Factors
Top-notch performance and cutting edge connectivity aside, the final important aspect to Intel Evo premium laptops is the design.
I mean, who can deny that much of our tech purchasing decisions may be influenced by looks. Life’s too short to buy an ugly laptop, am I right??
With the Intel Evo badge, you can expect exceptional-looking laptops with cutting-edge form factors. From powerful 2-in-1 laptops like the HP Spectre x360 and the ever-stylish yet versatile Lenovo Yoga 9 with Dolby Atmos audio, or the tough and light Acer Swift 5 and the smexy Dell XPS 13, there’s a premium thin and light for you that looks good and performs great.
If anything, you’re absolutely spoiled for choice!
