How we picked
How we picked: our catalogue holds five laptops whose listing states an Intel Core 7 150U, and this guide covers all five: two from Dell and three from HP. All five state a touchscreen. One Dell listing gives conflicting figures (its title says 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD, while its specifications say 32GB and 1TB); we kept it because it is part of the full set, and we flag the conflict in its entry. Processor facts come from Intel's specification pages. Prices on this page are live: each one is read from the store listing and shown with the time it was read. Nobody at wikilaptop.org has tested these units; every comparison below is drawn from the stated specifications.
How to choose
What the Core 7 150U is
Intel lists the Core 7 150U with 10 cores (2 performance cores and 8 efficient cores), 12 threads, a maximum turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz, a 15W processor base power and a 55W maximum turbo power. It is part of Intel's Core processors (Series 1) family, uses Intel Graphics built into the chip, and Intel's processor number guide describes the U suffix as power efficient.
That profile suits office software, web apps, video calls and streaming in a thin laptop. For modern games or heavy video editing, choose a laptop with an H-series processor and a separate graphics card.
Memory: 8GB to 32GB in this list
Memory varies more than anything else here: one pick has 8GB, two have 16GB, one has 24GB, and the Dell 16 Plus lists 32GB in its specifications but 16GB in its title. For everyday multitasking, 16GB is a comfortable floor. 24GB or 32GB helps with many browser tabs, large spreadsheets or a virtual machine.
Intel lists a 96GB maximum for the chip, but thin laptops often solder memory to the board. If upgrades matter, check the maker's service documentation for the exact model.
Storage and the listing that disagrees with itself
Storage runs from 256GB to 2TB. The HP with 2TB is the roomiest, and two picks have 1TB.
The Dell 16 Plus listing states 16GB and 512GB in its title and 32GB and 1TB in its specifications. When figures conflict, treat the configuration as unconfirmed and check the seller's details before you buy.
Screen size and weight
The two Dell picks have 16-inch touchscreens and weigh 1.9 kg and 1.94 kg. The three HP picks have 15.6-inch FHD touchscreens and weigh between 1.6 kg and 1.7 kg. If the laptop travels with you every day, the HP models save up to 0.34 kg. If it mostly stays on a desk, the larger Dell screens give more room for side-by-side windows.
Windows 11 Home or Pro
Two picks state Windows 11 Pro, two state Windows 11 Home, and one states only Windows 11. Microsoft's comparison lists BitLocker drive encryption as a Pro feature, which matters for business data and for devices your workplace manages. For home use, Home is enough.
Questions
Is the Intel Core 7 150U good for gaming?
Only for light or older games. Intel lists it with integrated Intel Graphics and a 15W base power, and none of the laptops in this list has a separate graphics card. For modern games, choose a laptop with a dedicated GPU and an H-series or HX-series processor.
How is the Core 7 150U different from the Core 5 120U?
Intel lists both with 10 cores (2 performance and 8 efficient), 12 threads, 12MB of cache, 15W base power and 55W maximum turbo power. The Core 7 150U reaches a higher maximum turbo frequency, 5.4 GHz against 5 GHz. In daily office work, memory and storage usually shape the experience more than that difference.
Does the Core 7 150U have an NPU?
Intel's specification page does not list an Intel AI Boost NPU for the Core 7 150U; it lists the Intel Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0. If software you rely on needs a dedicated NPU for on-device AI, look at Intel Core Ultra laptops and check that software's own requirements.
Why does this guide have only five laptops?
Those are all the Core 7 150U laptops in our catalogue right now, and we list every one rather than padding the guide with other chips. They come from two makers, Dell and HP, and all five have touchscreens. The guide will grow as more Core 7 150U laptops appear.
Did you test these laptops?
No. Nobody at wikilaptop.org has run these units. We compared them from the specifications stated on each listing and from Intel's published processor data. We do not describe heat, noise, keyboard feel or battery runtime, because those claims need testing that has not been done.
