Colorful Unveils a Budget Gaming Laptop

Colorful, known for its unconventional approach to budget-friendly hardware, has announced a new addition to its lineup—the EVOL X15 XS 2025 Edition gaming laptop. Instead of chasing the latest hardware trends, the brand has focused on balancing price and performance by utilizing proven CPU and GPU generations.

At the heart of the device is the Intel Core i5-12500H (Alder Lake) processor, featuring 12 cores and a clock speed of up to 4.5 GHz. Its hybrid architecture distributes tasks between performance and efficiency cores, optimizing the laptop for both gaming and multitasking. Paired with an NVIDIA RTX 3050, this setup delivers smooth gaming at medium settings in Full HD resolution. A 144Hz display ensures fluid visuals in fast-paced scenes, making the laptop appealing to fans of shooters and racing games.

The EVOL X15 XS 2025 offers flexible configurations: the base model comes with 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, expandable up to 64GB. Storage starts with a 512GB NVMe SSD, with an additional M.2 slot for easy expansion. Connectivity options include USB 3.2 and 2.0, HDMI 2.0, mini DisplayPort 1.4, a LAN port, and a microSD slot—suitable for both peripherals and external displays.

With a starting price of $699 (around 62,000 RUB), Colorful targets budget-conscious gamers who don’t want to compromise on essential gaming performance. This strategic move comes as competitors shift towards pricier Intel Core Ultra and NVIDIA RTX 40-series platforms. Retail shipments are set to begin in the coming weeks, potentially strengthening Colorful’s position in the budget segment.
