Durabook S14I Rugged Laptop Review: Durable 11th Gen Tiger Lake

One step above semi-rugged. The Durabook S14I inherits many features of modern Ultrabooks and then some including the latest Intel U-series CPUs, NVMe SSDs, Wi-Fi 6, and USB-C with support for both Power Delivery and DisplayPort. The usual drawbacks remain, but they are a bit easier to overlook.

Announced in March, the Durabook S14I is notable for being one of the first rugged laptops to ship with 11th gen Intel Tiger Lake-U options and other features commonly found on consumer Ultrabooks like Wi-Fi 6, NVMe SSD support, and optional vPro. There are plenty of configurations available as detailed by the official specifications sheet below.

Our test unit today is an upper mid-range SKU with the Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16 GB of single-channel RAM, 512 GB NVMe SSD, and 1000-nit 1080p TN display. Competitors include other 14-inch rugged laptops like the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged, Getac S410, or the Panasonic Toughbook.

Case

The S14I is heavy even for a rugged laptop. The 15.6-inch Durabook S15A, for example, is 400 grams lighter despite the fact that our S14I is a smaller screen size. Its high weight increases stability, modularity, and sense of longevity should any upgrades or servicing be necessary down the line.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by just three Philips screws for easy servicing. Users have direct access to two RAM slots and both the removable WLAN and WAN modules. The storage bay, battery, and DVD drive can all be quickly removed without needing to first remove the bottom panel.

Accessories and Warranty

The box includes a cleaning cloth, passive stylus pen, and additional screws for installing a WAN or M.2 SSD. A three-year limited manufacturer applies.

Display

The best aspect of the display is its very bright backlight of over 1000 nits to be more than two times brighter than popular consumer laptops like the Dell XPS or MacBook Pro. If you intend to use this laptop outdoors frequently, then the extra brightness will certainly help. Contrast and colors are otherwise average at best which is to be expected for a rugged system where durability takes precedence over color accuracy.

Unfortunately, PWM is present on all brightness levels including maximum. Users who are sensitive to screen flickering may want to avoid using the S14I for long periods. Our findings are for the 1000-nit panel only and so we cannot comment on the other display options available.

An X-Rite colorimeter analysis shows a very unbalanced display out of the box with an overly cool color temperature. Grayscale and colors improve dramatically once properly calibrated as shown by our screenshots below with average grayscale DeltaE values jumping from 15.4 to just 2.5. We recommend applying our ICC profile above to get the most out of the display.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
11.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 8.2 ms rise
↘ 3.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 26 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
30.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16.8 ms rise
↘ 13.6 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 34 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 304.9 Hz ≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 304.9 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 304.9 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18071 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is good especially when under shade because of how bright the display is. However, the limited gamut and low contrast ratio of the display result in washed out colors on a bright day with lots of ambient lighting.

Performance

CPU options range from the Core i3-1115G4 up to the Core i7-1185G7 with vPro supported only on the Core i5-1145G7 and Core i7-1185G7. All of these processors belong to Intel's newest 11th gen Tiger Lake-U series that power the latest consumer Ultrabooks. The discrete GeForce GTX 1050 GPU is optional for users who want more power than the integrated Iris Xe.

Our unit was set to High Performance mode prior to running any performance benchmarks below.

Processor

Multi-thread CPU performance is disappointing at roughly 30 percent slower than the average Core i7-1165G7 in our database. Results are therefore quite close to the older Core i5-8265U or Core i7-1065G7. The limited Turbo Boost sustainability of the S14I is responsible for the underperforming CPU as detailed in our Stress Test section below.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is underwhelming. 3DMark results are about 30 to 35 percent lower than the average laptop in our database equipped with the same Iris Xe GPU to be one of the slowest Iris Xe laptops yet. It's still a significant upgrade from the UHD Graphics series that most rugged laptops are stuck with, but it's disappointing nonetheless because we know that the GPU here is capable of much more. Scores would have likely been higher had our unit come with dual-channel RAM instead of single-channel RAM.

Upgrading to the optional GeForce GTX 1050 should net users an 80 percent boost in raw graphics power.

Emissions

System Noise

Though fan noise is generally low, its behavior could have been better because it pulses more frequently than we would like. The fan would periodically jump between silent (25.2 dB(A)) and 34.5 dB(A) during low to low-medium loads. Setting the system to Power Saver mode may help reduce the pulsing.

Temperature

Surface temperatures are not an issue since the chassis is much thicker than most laptops with the same CPU. Hot spots can range from just 35 C to 38 C. The right half of the system will always be warmer than the left half because of how the cooling solution is positioned inside.

Stress Test

The relatively poor CPU performance can be observed when running Prime95. Clock rates would spike to 3.9 GHz for only the first few seconds until hitting a core temperature of 82 C. Thereafter, clock rates would drop and stabilize in the 1.8 to 1.9 GHz range in order to maintain a cooler core temperature of 63 C. Typical consumer laptops with the same Core i7-1165G7 CPU like the Dell XPS 13 or Razer Book 13 are able to sustain higher clock rates for faster processor performance.

Running on battery power will limit graphics performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 7529 and 3245 points, respectively, compared to 7348 and 5173 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop consumes between 6 W and 17 W to be more than most other Core U-series-powered Ultrabooks due to the extra-bright display on the Durabook. Higher loads like 3DMark will demand about 39 W.

We're able to record a maximum consumption of 73.1 W from the small-medium (~14 x 6.5 x 2.5 cm) 90 W AC adapter when running Prime95. This maximum is very short lived as shown by our graphs below even when on High Performance mode.

Verdict

In review: Durabook S14I. Test unit provided by Durabook
In review: Durabook S14I. Test unit provided by Durabook

Rugged laptops are usually behind the latest Ultrabooks in performance and features, but the Durabook S14I brings its family up to speed with luxuries like Wi-Fi 6, USB-C, NVMe, and the high performance-per-watt of Intel Tiger Lake. If you know you can exploit these features, then the S14I should be a solid buy over other 14-inch rugged models.

A feature-heavy PC that isn't afraid to be heavier for stronger impressions.

There are a handful of changes we'd like to see on future revisions. For one, PWM should be eliminated to reduce eyesore for those who may be sensitive to flickering. The touchpad is too small and finicky and the port coverings don't pop open very easily. The SD card reader is slow and an IPS display would go a long way to improving image quality and upping contrast when outdoors.

Price and availability

Prices vary considerably depending on configuration. Durabook offers quotes on request via the official S14I product page.
