Considering an Intel Evo Laptop – Need Real-World Feedback!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m in the market for a new ultraportable laptop, and I keep seeing Intel Evo-certified models popping up. They promise great battery life, instant wake, and solid performance, but I’d love to hear from actual users before pulling the trigger.

For those who own (or have tested) an Intel Evo laptop:

Does it really deliver on the "9+ hours of battery life" claim with real-world use (browsing, video calls, light work)?

How’s the performance for multitasking (e.g., 10+ Chrome tabs + Zoom + Slack)?

Any noticeable differences in build quality or thermals compared to non-Evo laptops?

Do Thunderbolt 4 and fast charging make a big difference in daily use?

Also, any specific models you’d recommend (or avoid)? My budget is around 1000$ - 1500$

Thanks in advance—your insights will help me (and maybe others) decide!
