Colorful has quietly entered the competitive budget gaming laptop market with the debut of its EVOL P15 series, marking the company’s first foray into NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series. The lineup, consisting of two configurations, targets gamers and content creators seeking capable hardware without the premium price tag typically associated with newer architectures.
Until now, Colorful’s gaming laptop offerings have largely relied on the RTX 3050 and RTX 4060, leaving a noticeable gap in the mid-range segment. The EVOL P15 aims to fill that void with two distinct models: one equipped with an Intel Core i7-14650HX and an RTX 5060, and the other pairing a Core i5-13420H with an RTX 5050. Both configurations represent a deliberate balance between performance and affordability, leveraging Intel’s older but still efficient processors to complement NVIDIA’s newest budget GPUs.
The higher-end model, featuring the Core i7-14650HX and RTX 5060, is positioned as Colorful’s most powerful laptop to date. The 16-core/24-thread CPU ensures strong multitasking capabilities, while the RTX 5060 delivers solid gaming performance at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Its 15.6-inch IPS display supports a 2560x1440 resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, catering to gamers who demand smoother visuals and higher frame rates. In contrast, the RTX 5050 variant opts for a 1920x1080p resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate, paired with the more budget-friendly Core i5-13420H.
Both models share identical storage and memory configurations, featuring 16GB of DDR5-5200 RAM and 512GB NVMe Gen 3.0 SSDs, with an additional M.2 slot for expansion. Battery life remains consistent across the lineup, powered by a 53.35Wh battery, though the RTX 5060 model includes a high-power adapter to support its more demanding components.
While pricing details have not yet been confirmed, industry benchmarks suggest both models will remain under $1,000, aligning with the broader trend of RTX 50 series laptops in this price bracket. This positions Colorful as a viable alternative to established brands in the budget gaming segment, particularly for users who prioritize performance-per-dollar without sacrificing core features.
The EVOL P15 series reflects a strategic move by Colorful to diversify its product lineup beyond its existing RTX 3050 and RTX 4060 offerings. By integrating NVIDIA’s newest budget GPUs, the company is tapping into a growing demand for mid-range gaming laptops that deliver competitive performance without the premium pricing of flagship models.
