FAQs
What are the pros and cons of Intel Core i3-1215U?
The Intel Core i3-1215U is a good entry level processor (slightly better than its AMD alternatives) even though its an entry level processor. It is great for everyday tasks and has a good entry level multitasking performance (Again slightly better than that of AMD alternatives). However its processor is limited when it comes to even moderate usage.
Can it handle games?
Speaking technically, any Windows machine can run games irrespective of the processor. However games either drop in frames or lag in processors that are not made for gaming. Gaming processors are optimised to work hand in hand with the RAM and the VRAM/ Dedicated Graphics to be able to provide the best output possible. It can handle games but not something of AAA title like a GTA V or Cyberpunk. This laptop does support games basic games but it is of not much use.
How good is the battery?
42Wh is on the lower side of the battery capacity. The overall battery capacity depends on its hardware such as screen and processor. In short, OLED screens consumer more battery than LCD IPS panels. This laptop does not come with an OLED screen and the processor is also not well optimised for battery life. For easy to moderate usage it will last approximately 5 hours which is very less considering its chassis size.
How does it perform against AMD alternatives?
To compare it with the Acer Aspire One 14 and HP 255 G10 which comes with AMD Ryzen 3 3250U and Ryzen 3 7320U, there are quite a few noticeable differences.The Intel Core i3-1215U which was launched in 2022 is just a tad bit better in terms of specs on paper. It also has more cores and threads than the Ryzen 3 3250U and Ryzen 3 7320U. For almost no price difference, there is a slight improvement in basic tasks such as web browsing, better handling of browser tabs and documentation. Either of the laptops are not made for moderate-heavy workloads.
