Benefits of an Intel-based laptop

Intel released the world’s first computer microprocessor back in 1971 and its chips have been powering easy-to-carry laptops since portable PCs first gained popularity in the early 1990s. It’s an impressive legacy that has made Intel the leading name in CPUs and delivers tangible benefits for Intel processor laptop users.

Intel laptop advantages

Here’s why so many of today’s consumers rely on Lenovo laptops with Intel processors:

• Performance and portability –

  Intel’s mobile processor technology is super-efficient and generates less heat than desktop chips, so there’s no sacrificing CPU power for easy portability.

Intel laptop technology: More than just the CPU

Of course, there’s more to an Intel laptop than just the processor. Intel technology exists throughout these systems, from wireless connectivity to graphics options to memory modules. [Availability varies based on which Lenovo laptop brand and model you choose, so always read the specs.]

Intel^® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+)

Our wireless bandwidth needs only keep rising, as more people work from home, stream high-res video, and play live-action games. Intel calls its Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) technology a “generational advance” that enables faster downloads, greater responsiveness (less latency), and improved authentication and encryption. It also allows you to connect more devices at once.

Intel Graphics Technology

Watch videos in extra high definition. Edit photos down to the pixel. Experience the most vivid and immersive PC game environments. It’s all possible with Intel^® HD Graphics and Intel^® Iris^® Plus graphics. In fact, Intel says its Iris Plus technology enables frames-per-second (FPS) rates and HEVC encoding that’s up to two times faster than some of its earlier CPUs.

Intel^® Ready Mode Technology (Intel^® RMT)

Intel Ready Mode Technology or RMT means your laptop is always available, or very nearly so. It’s an alternative to standard PC “sleep” modes that helps your laptop resume full functionality almost instantly. Features such as Microsoft’s Cortana stand ready for you to use, files can be auto-synced across all your devices, and remote access to your system is easier than ever.

Intel^® Optane™ Memory

For faster boot times and speedier overall system performance, check out Intel Optane Memory. An Intel Optane solid state drive (SSD) or Intel Optane memory module accelerates personal computing by learning your most often used applications, documents, and tools and having them ready to use when needed. Plus, it’s non-volatile, so the settings are preserved even when you power down your laptop.

The more you learn, the more you understand why consumers around the world put such high value on laptops with Intel CPUs – and why Lenovo’s Intel-based laptops are global best-sellers. When the world’s leading innovator in laptop processors, Intel, gets together with Lenovo, a global leader in laptop design and manufacturing – everyone wins.
