FAQs

What are the pros and cons of Intel Evo i5-13500H?

The Intel Evo i5-13500H comes with a hybrid architecture that gives good performance, solid battery life, fast charging and many more optimisation features. However it does not have an UltraBook grade performance that uses 'U' series processor which is even more power efficient and also has better performance. This is still a pretty good processor that can multitask and can handle all sorts of workloads like Photoshop, Adobe Premier Pro and Illustrator.

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.

How good is the battery?

65Wh is on the higher 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 featuring OLED display does consume more power but the processor Intel Evo has optimised this to give longer battery life. For easy to moderate usage it will last approximately north of 7 hours which is great considering its size and hardware requirements.

How does it perform against productivity laptops?

To compare it with the ThinkPad E 14 or even the Acer Professional 14 there are few noticeable differences. The former uses i5-1335U and the latter uses i7-1335U. The 'U' series processors are very much optimised for longer battery life and good performance when compared to the i5-13500H processor. In day to day usage it is not much of a difference and both of them are best in their respective segments. For people needing a laptop that can handle workloads and still give more battery life pick up the productivity lineup. Whereas people who are into creative fields and need a good display for their work can benefit from the Vivobook.

How does it compare against the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED?

The key differences are that Vivobook S 15 OLED comes with a bigger display that is 2.8K OLED and a slightly bigger battery. Though the internals are same the main difference lies in display and the weight. The Vivobook also comes with a 120Hz refresh rate making it more smoother when compared to the Yoga Slim 6. The Yoga is built for more portability and aesthetics where as Vivobook purely targets creators.

Who is this laptop for?

This laptop is great for everyone who is in college trying to make a career out of designing or creative freelancers who are looking for a good future proof computer that can easily last them over 4 years. The specifications are quite good for the price and the display is phenomenal. However there are 'H' series laptops that provide a little better performance but getting it in a package that has good screen and build might be more expensive.
