When Apple introduced the first MacBooks built around its own ARM processor design, the M1, it claimed the new devices bested 98 percent of the Wintel laptops unveiled over the past year. But the Intel ecosystem isn’t standing still, as I point out in my column in the Tech section of USA Today. Read that HERE.

Setting aside Apple’s claims for the moment, the latest systems built around 11th-gen Tiger Lake Core processors from Intel easily beat existing systems. In my latest column, I compare responsiveness, performance and battery life of two Lenovo laptops designed to excel at all three: the Yoga 9i, built around Intel’s 11th-gen Tiger Lake Core processor, and the Yoga C940, with its 10th-gen Core CPU. (The Yoga 9i is one of the first with Intel’s Evo branding, which will set systems like these apart going forward.) Read more about what you can expect from systems like the two Lenovo PCs HERE.
