When laptops are mentioned, one of the first things that come to mind is that it could be expensive, especially if it has powerful specs. However, that may not always be the case now as more manufacturers are producing laptops with competitive specs without breaking the bank. One such brand is Machenike and its Machcreator E. If you’re curious about what it has to offer, especially if you’re a creator on a budget, here are the things we like about it.

Windows 11 Compatible
Want to try the latest Windows OS? Machenike Machcreator gives the option to upgrade to Windows 11 right off the bat. Windows 11 was officially launched last fall and with a redesigned interface that is minimalistic and is aimed at streamlining the PC and helping its users to be more productive. They will be integrating a better Microsoft 31 Teams experience with the support for Android apps on Windows. If users are hesitant to update to the new OS, they shouldn’t stress. Upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t obligatory, at least not yet, but now you can be sure that this laptop can fully support it.
Should you require to upgrade once you’ve chosen to retain Windows 10, you can still upgrade to Windows 11 by following these steps:
1. Sign up for the Windows Insider Program by heading to Settings, then look for Update, click on Security, and you should be able to find the Windows Insider Program and then Start lighting.
2. The next part is where you would need to review the Privacy Statement and terms. Once done, just hit Submit.
3. You will then be able to choose the Dev Channel from the Insider settings in order to download and install the current Windows 11 build, then just click the Confirm button
4. Once the Machcreator E asks to Read the Microsoft Insider Privacy Statement and Agreement, and you are done reviewing it, just confirm.
5. It will now prompt you to restart the machine in order to get the Insider Preview build.
6. After rebooting, ensure that there is a stable internet connection since you will have to run Windows Updates once again.
7. After the PC downloads the latest build from a Microsoft server, you should be good to go.
Fast WiFi 6
WiFi 6 is the latest generation of Wi-Fi. Basically, it does the same thing as its predecessor which lets you connect to the internet, but with additional technologies to make it happen faster. Do take note that WiFi 6 still does not breach the promised speeds of your ISP. Theoretically, the WiFi 6 maxes out at 9.6Gbps but technology is still too young to be able to attain those speeds at the consumer level. WiFi 6 isn’t just about top speeds but instead improves the network when there are several devices connected. With Wi-Fi 6, the new technologies mitigate the issues that come with connecting several devices to a single network. If you want fast and stable WiFi connections, WiFi 6 is the best way to go right now.
Powerful Thunderbolt 4.0
With Intel’s upgrade to Thunderbolt 4.0, it brought about higher bandwidth for connecting high-speed devices, a better quality connection between devices and PCs, as well as accessories that make it easy to expand the capabilities of your PC with docking options and external devices. What does this entail for the users of the Machenike Machcreator E? The Thunderbolt 4.0 ports enable 40Gbps bidirectional transfers as well as the opportunity to connect external graphic cards, DisplayPorts, and transfer video signals from your laptop to up to two 4K 60Hz via DisplayPort or HDMI through a compatible dock or adapter. With this, the opportunity to connect phones, a lightweight notebook (requiring less than 100W), and other Power Delivery (PD) compatible devices to be charged quickly. The Machenike Machcreator E unlocks a variety of options for users and content creators on the go.
Intel Iris XE Graphics
With Intel’s release of the 11th generation of mobile processors known as, “Tiger Lake”, they aimed to provide a huge performance change with the Intel Iris XE graphics. With the Intel Core i5-11300H, we managed to game a little and tested a couple of games but of course, since this is still integrated graphics, expect that we played on low settings. This sets the bar though for integrated graphics on mobile processors because, despite that, we were able to play as much as Valorant and Dota 2, some of the widely played esports names, and get decent FPS. Being able to play games on a laptop that’s supposedly for school or light word processing adds immense value to it.
Immersive Display
Laptops at low to mid-range price points are starting to incorporate the Full HD screens and here we see the Machcreator implementing it on a mid-range laptop that caters to the need of content creators and designers offering a 72% NTSC display. The 72% NTSC display is a common standard of color space chosen for photographers and graphic designers. These provide vivid and true-to-life colors that will be appreciated by both designers and people seeking to use the Machcreator for entertainment purposes.
Airy-Lift Hinge
One of the most important things in a laptop is airflow. With the Airy-Lift Hinge, it elevates the laptop by a 2.3-degree when the display is opened beyond 130-degree providing a more ergonomic keyboard position as well as improving airflow around the bottom side of the laptop. With the laptop’s magnesium-aluminum body weighing in at 1.7kg, the sturdiness of the hinge is something that the users shouldn’t worry about since it is able to sustain the weight.
Big Battery
Be it work, video playback, or simply browsing, running on a battery won’t be a problem. If the user is on the go and needs to get some work done, worries about adapters and chargers won’t be a hassle. With standard use of the laptop, it could hold up to 8 – 9 hours of battery life or longer thanks to its 73Wh battery. Sit back and enjoy with the Machenike Machcreator E.
