Opinion and specs

Our verdict

Mid-range

The Intel Core Ultra 5 236V is a mid-range processor. It is a low-power chip (17 W): the kind that goes into thin, quiet laptops with long battery life. It came out in 2024.

It is currently fitted in 11 laptops from €777, at an average price of €1509.

Above €930 there are clearly better options: for that money the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - X1E-80-100 is 24% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
