You're on a video call with a massive presentation open. Plus, more documents and browser tabs open than you'd ever admit to.
Then someone asks you to share your screen. And there’s that moment where you’re sure your laptop will freeze and take the rest of the day off.
We’re asking more than ever from our devices. Here’s why laptops powered by the latest Intel Core Series 3, AMD Ryzen AI and Snapdragon X series processors are designed for the way we actually use our laptops.
That “everything just works” feeling!
It’s great to have a laptop that can edit 4K video or create complex spreadsheets. But what your laptop will probably be doing most of the time is streaming shows or loading shopping sites. Or everything all at once!
Laptops powered by Intel Core Series 3 processors can deliver up to 25% better performance than the previous generation.*
That means less waiting for websites to load, faster app launches and smoother multitasking when you've got email, Spotify and Teams all competing for attention.
When you’re shopping for a laptop, the processor matters more than ever.
We’re not just tethered to desks
A faster laptop isn't much use if you're constantly searching for a charger. And the days of a laptop spending its life plugged into the same desk are long gone. Your office can be anywhere you sit - the kitchen table, a train seat with a view.
Intel says its latest platform can deliver up to 64% lower processor power** in selected tests against its previous-generation Core 7 150U processor.
Powerful laptops have become the new desktops. And our desk is anywhere we want it to be - plugged or unplugged.
AI’s becoming indispensable
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of our everyday. With 73% of Brits using AI in their day-to-day life, great AI performance shouldn’t be overlooked.
Intel Core Series 3 processors can offer up to 2.7x better AI performance.*** AMD Ryzen AI processors include a dedicated AI engine built directly into the chip, helping AI features run more efficiently while keeping the laptop responsive.
Many of the latest AMD Ryzen AI laptops also support Microsoft's Copilot+ PC features. If you’ve not tried them yet, some of these AI tools feel like they’re straight out of sci-fi.
Live Captions turns speech into text in real time. Watching a foreign-language video or catching up with a recipe? It's like having subtitles for almost anything.
Remember those shoes you briefly fell in love with? Recall on supported Copilot+ PCs can help you find previously viewed content simply by describing what you remember.
Future-proofing your next laptop
One of the biggest questions we have when investing in a new machine is: "How long will this laptop last me?"
There's never a guaranteed answer but buying newer technology can help keep your laptop capable for longer.
Software doesn't stand still. Apps become more demanding, browsers use more memory and new Windows features arrive every year. Buying a laptop with the latest processor gives you more performance in reserve, so it’s ready for the next big thing.
Built for real life
If your next device is powered by Intel Core Series 3, AMD Ryzen AI or Snapdragon X series, you'll notice the difference straightaway with up to 25% better performance, longer-lasting battery life and support for the latest AI-powered features.
And you'll be buying a laptop that's designed for the way we use laptops today, not the way we used them five years ago.
