| The Colorful EVOL P15 RTX 5050 |
The gaming laptop market is starting to hum with activity ahead of the expected next-generation GPU launches, and Colorful is throwing its hat into the ring early. The well-known hardware manufacturer has quietly published official product pages for two new variants of its EVOL P15 gaming laptop, revealing configurations boasting NVIDIA’s unannounced GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 Laptop GPUs.
While NVIDIA has yet to make an official announcement regarding its "RTX 50-series" mobile lineup, Colorful’s listings offer the clearest look yet at what budget and mid-range gamers can expect in the coming months. The new models promise significant leaps in display technology and processing power, packaged in two distinct colorways.
According to the official spec sheets, one model is positioned as the flagship of the duo, featuring up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, while the sibling model caters to the entry-level high-performance segment with up to an RTX 5050 Laptop GPU. Both machines retain the familiar 15.6-inch form factor but diverge significantly in their internal DNA and visual aesthetics.
The Flagship: RTX 5060 Meets a QHD Beast
The higher-tier EVOL P15, finished in a stealthy Carbon Grey, is clearly built for gamers who demand higher resolution visuals. At its heart, Colorful lists the configuration with up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-14650HX processor. This chip, featuring 16 cores and 24 threads, is designed to handle both intense gaming sessions and heavy multitasking without breaking a sweat.
Paired with the CPU is the star of the show: the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, which the listing confirms will come equipped with 8GB of VRAM. This is a crucial detail for modern gaming, as 8GB buffers are becoming the standard for texture-heavy titles at higher settings.
However, the most impressive feature of this variant is arguably its display. Colorful has equipped this model with a 15.6-inch IPS panel pushing a sharp 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution. With a buttery-smooth 165 Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB coverage, this laptop is aimed squarely at gamers who want crisp visuals without compromising on speed. The configuration is rounded out by up to 16GB of DDR5-5200 RAM and a 512GB PCIe Gen3 SSD.
The Entry-Level Powerhouse: RTX 5050 in Cloud White
On the other end of the spectrum, the RTX 5050 variant takes on a distinctly different personality with its Cloud White finish. This model is tailored for the competitive gamer who prioritizes high frame rates over raw pixel count.
Under the hood, it swaps the Core i7 for an Intel Core i5-13420H (8 cores, 12 threads), which should still provide ample power for gaming and everyday productivity. It retains the RTX 5050 Laptop GPU, which, interestingly, the listing also notes as featuring 8GB of VRAM. If accurate, this would be a massive boost for the entry-level segment, offering the same memory buffer as its bigger brother.
To keep the frames flying, this EVOL P15 opts for a 15.6-inch IPS display running at 1920 x 1080 (FHD) . While the resolution is lower, the 144 Hz refresh rate ensures that motion remains fluid—a perfect match for esports titles. Like its sibling, it maintains the 100% sRGB color coverage and the same memory and storage ceilings (16GB DDR5-5200 / 512GB PCIe Gen3 SSD).
What We Don't Know Yet (And What a Leak Tells Us)
While the product pages are live, Colorful is keeping some cards close to its chest. A report from the Times of India has filled in some of the blanks, suggesting that the EVOL P15 lineup is eyeing a Q1 2026 launch. The report also corroborates a two-year warranty and mentions marketing materials hinting at DLSS 4 support, which would align with NVIDIA's next-generation architecture.

The same report also teases differences in cooling solutions, Wi-Fi modules, and keyboard designs between the two variants—details that are absent from the official product pages.
The Bigger Picture: Clevo Roots and Market Positioning
It is highly likely that these are Clevo or Tongfang reference designs rather than fully proprietary Colorful chassis. This is a common practice in the industry, allowing brands like Colorful to bring competitive hardware to market quickly by utilizing tried-and-tested barebones systems. This doesn't diminish the value proposition; it simply means the core engineering is shared with other manufacturers, with Colorful adding its own brand identity, software, and support.
For now, prospective buyers will have to wait. Pricing, country-by-country availability, and critical performance metrics like GPU power limits (TGP), battery capacity, and port selection remain unannounced. These variables will ultimately define whether the EVOL P15 lineup is a champion or just another contender in the increasingly crowded mid-range gaming arena.
