Based on Intel's 11th gen Core Tiger Lake CPUs with Iris Xe graphics, the Intel NUC M15 Laptop Kit platform includes everything that laptop makers and system integrators need to meet Intel Evo requirements, and while laptop makers will still need to apply for Evo qualification, the NUC M15 Laptop Kit will help to push things in the right direction, it's claimed.

The platform also includes Intel Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 73Whr battery with fast charging, Thunderbolt 4, USB Gen 2, fast wake-up time, and more. It also comes with support for PCIe 4.0 storage and LPDDR4X-4267 memory support.

According to Intel, the first laptops based on Intel's NUC M15 Laptop Kit are expected in January next year, so, with a bit of luck, we'll see some interesting designs and plenty of Intel Evo-certified laptops.
