Schenker offers a smaller business all-rounder than the Vision 15 with the 14-inch Vision 14 notebook, which, thanks to its magnesium housing and Tiger Lake base, weighs only 1 kg without dGPU brings. Another special feature is an optional, high-resolution 3K IPS display in a 16:10 format that is more suitable for productive use.

Flat ultrabook should last 28 Can handle watts

The new Vision 14 is significantly lighter than the 15.6-inch Vision 15 (test) from last year. Instead of 1.7 kg, the smaller brother, which Schenker has trimmed even more towards portability, only weighs around 1 kg. Depending on the configuration, the value fluctuates between 980 and 1,030 g.

The ultrabook comes up with either a soldered Core i5-1135G7 or Core i7-1165G7, each with four cores, eight threads and an integrated Xe graphics unit. Schenker emphasizes that the Tiger Lake processors from Intel's 11th core generation can permanently maintain the maximum TDP of up to 28 watts under load, despite their slim design. Schenker specifies the dimensions of the unibody chassis made of an AZ91D magnesium alloy as 13.6 – 15.6 mm in height. In addition, there are two SO-DIMM slots for upgradeable RAM, which can be equipped with a maximum of 64 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, as a further special feature. In the light and at the same time slim device class, the RAM chips are often firmly soldered to the circuit board and therefore an optional expansion is not possible.

PCIe 4.0-SSD is cooled via the chassis

But the mass storage is also plugged in in the form of ordinary M.2 SSDs, which means that it can also be upgraded depending on the requirements. Modules with a length of 80 mm are supported in two slots. As is typical for the Tiger Lake platform, the primary M.2 receptacle is connected via four PCIe 4.0 lanes and is also thermally connected to the housing by means of a thermal pad, which reduces the thermal load on the memory chips and the controller and prevents temperature-related performance losses should.

A 16:10 display optionally also with 3K resolution

Schenker has provided the Vision 14 with an equipment package that offers a great variety and also follows the manufacturer's typical concept of individual configuration. Among other things, you can choose between two versions of the 14-inch display. The basic configuration offers a full HD display with a resolution of 1,920 × 1,200 pixels and a maximum brightness of 330 cd/m², which, according to the manufacturer, covers the sRGB color space to over 95 percent. An IPS panel with 2,880 × 1,880 pixels can be ordered for a surcharge, which offers a higher refresh rate of 90 Hz and a high brightness of 380 cd/m². The display should also have over 99 percent coverage of the sRGB color space and thus meet the high demands of creative professionals.

Both display options are calibrated at the factory; the user can download and install the individual ICC color profile with just one click of the mouse via the Control Center and integrate it into regular Windows color management. Both have the 16:10 image format in common, which offers a slightly larger, vertical viewing area than conventional 16: 9 screens and thus has advantages in professional applications for image and video editing or in software for word processing.

In terms of interfaces and connectivity, too, the notebook moves within the typical framework conditions on the part of Intel. For fast data transfers including additional functions such as Power Delivery and DisplayPort, two Thunderbolt 4 via USB Type C are available. Fast charging of the battery via a 65-watt power supply unit via USB C is also supported. Additional external screens can be controlled via HDMI 2.0b. In addition, there are two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A, a 2-in-1 audio connection in 3.5 mm jack format and an SD card reader for full-size SDXC storage.

Can be pre-ordered now for at least 1,099 euros

Schenker is now offering the Vision 14, which can be individually configured, for pre-order in its own online shop. The starting price is € 1,099. This includes a Core i5-1135G7, 8 GB RAM, a 250 GB SSD from Samsung and the aforementioned Full HD display. A surcharge of 135 euros is required for the Core i7, whereas the 3K display only costs 79 euros. The equipment package also includes a three-year guarantee. Delivery is expected to take place in the second half of June.
