In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the Schenker Vision 15, also known as the Intel NUC M15, a 15-inch laptop currently available in silver but possibly coming in black around April. The laptop, geared towards office productivity, features an Intel 1165 G7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 500GB SSD, and an AX 201 Wi-Fi card. It has a sturdy aluminum build with a black anodized finish, reminiscent of the Razer Blade. Key features include a light bar and microphones for Alexa integration, multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports capable of charging, and a well-ventilated bottom with Torx screws. The presenter notes that this is a press sample, and some issues mentioned might not appear in the production models.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses several features and performance aspects of a new laptop model. They mention that the silver models are shipping and provide links for purchasing in both the US and EU. Highlights include the effectiveness of the built-in microphones for video calls when near the laptop, though not ideal as a standalone Alexa device due to limited range. The Windows Hello IR face recognition feature allows for quick and effortless logins. The laptop wakes up from sleep almost instantaneously and operates quietly with fans rarely exceeding 40 decibels.
The cooling system is noted for keeping the laptop’s palm rest cool, with heat primarily accumulating at a top grill. The speakers, although under the laptop, are loud, peaking at around 80 decibels depending on usage. One downside is weak Wi-Fi signal strength, which can be obstructed by the design of the antenna bands. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi card and storage are upgradable, though the RAM is soldered and not upgradable due to space constraints on the board.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various aspects of a laptop, including its upgradeability, touchpad, and keyboard. The non-upgradable RAM is seen as a potential limitation, especially if RAM modules fail. The touchpad is described as large and responsive, with a feature to disable it via double-tapping, though this function might be disabled in future firmware updates. The touchpad has a minor tracking issue where the cursor movement appears wavy. The keyboard is comfortable but has issues with accuracy, similar to the Asus G14, where keystrokes sometimes fail to register, which is frustrating. There are indicators on function keys that may either be removed or fixed in production models. The speaker encountered a mounting issue on the keyboard’s right side, causing keys to move due to a stripped screw. This issue is expected to be resolved in production units. Additionally, there’s a mention of strange rollover behavior when holding down keys along with shift or control.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses some limitations and issues with a particular laptop’s keyboard and touchscreen. The keyboard’s key rollover mechanism makes it unsuitable for gaming, and the touchscreen is currently non-functional, with the speaker in contact with a representative to resolve the issue. Additionally, the speaker highlights their new company, Atlas Technology LLC, which assists customers, especially international ones, by handling quality control and shipping of laptops from the US. They perform thorough checks on devices like the Lenovo Legion 5 and Asus Zephyrus M15 to ensure they meet customer expectations before shipping. The segment concludes with a review of the laptop’s screen, noting its vivid colors and brightness but poor response times, with an example panel showing about 60 milliseconds of gray-to-gray response time.

In this segment, the reviewer discusses the screen quality and performance of a laptop. They note that the screen becomes blurry at low FPS, making content like movies, TV shows, and games such as Minecraft difficult to view clearly, which they find unacceptable. They express a desire for a more responsive screen in future models to improve the overall user experience. Transitioning to performance, they highlight that the laptop lacks a dedicated GPU but features Intel Xe graphics, which perform well for low-intensity gaming. The CPU performance is praised for its high power level and efficient cooling, keeping the laptop cool and quiet. The reviewer mentions that the laptop performs at around 40 watts, which is close to gaming laptop levels, providing powerful single-core performance. Despite being a quad-core processor, it delivers adequate performance for most games and could handle an eGPU if needed.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the impressive performance and battery life of an ultrabook. They note that the machine stays cool, with the keyboard deck remaining at or below 40 decibels even under heavy use, unlike other models which can get louder. The ultrabook can run at 40 watts on battery power, which is remarkable. The speaker also appreciates the build quality, although they mention a minor issue with a clicking sound in the lid and the keyboard deck lifting slightly when the lid is moved. Battery life is highlighted as a major strength, with the device easily lasting around 10 hours during typical use. While the keyboard and screen are functional, the speaker suggests they could be more responsive and reliable in future models.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses the positive user experience and overall design of a pre-production laptop, despite its few flaws. He mentions that the laptop performs well, potentially even better than a Razer, and appreciates the design decisions made. He notes minor issues like the laptop rocking on flat surfaces, which he attributes to the pre-production model and suggests improving the bottom feet design for better stability. The price range mentioned is around $1100-$1200, which he finds reasonable given the performance and battery life. He recommends the laptop, comparing it favorably to MacBooks in terms of aesthetics.
