Verdict - Rugged brick with long-distance qualities
With its thick casing and large display bezels, the Durabook S14I looks a little out of date. Some manufacturers excel at creating products that are light, sleek, and thin. But that's not the point here! Durabook builds real tools for use in demanding environments – construction sites, workshops, ambulances, or the military.
And that's exactly what the S14I is made for. Built like a tank, it withstands drops and is protected against dust and water spray. In addition, there's a variety of ports that modern ultrabooks can only dream of – including rarities like the serial port. But the absolute killer feature is the battery life: with its dual battery and hot-swap function, the S14I is a true endurance runner and can operate entirely without a power outlet.
The Durabook S14I is no beauty and no lightweight, but rather an extremely resilient specialist for tough jobs.
Naturally, there are some trade-offs. Tipping the scales at nearly 3 kilos (around 6.6 pounds), it's certainly no lightweight. Our review unit, equipped with a Core Ultra 7, packed enough punch for everyday tasks, but the single-channel RAM did bottleneck performance somewhat, and the integrated graphics are really just for the basics. While the keyboard is a dream to type on, the touchpad feels a bit behind the times. As for the speakers? To put it mildly, it's best to forget about them. The standard display on our model was also underwhelming. On the bright side, the fan is impressively quiet, and the device itself stays nice and cool.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The product is hardly found in regular electronics retail stores. Apart from specialized providers like Ruggedbooks or Barcod Giant, your options are limited. An alternative is the second-hand market: you can certainly find some used devices on eBay.
But you'll probably need to get in touch with the manufacturer if you want to buy a Durabook S14I with every option or a particular setup. This is quite common for such specialized industrial notebooks.
Table of Contents
For anyone whose top priorities in a laptop are ruggedness, marathon battery life, and a wealth of connection options, and who doesn't mind sacrificing a bit on aesthetics, portability, and multimedia bells and whistles, the Durabook S14I hits the nail right on the head.
Specifications
Case & connectivity: The brick among laptops
Weighing in at around 2.7 kg (nearly 6 lbs), the S14I is a real heavyweight, built like a tank. Visually, with its bulky frame and wide screen bezels, it has a decidedly old-school vibe. But that's the point: this device is rugged, designed for industrial settings and tough field use. It's much more like a specialized tool for the mission, rather than a sleek multimedia device.
On the practical side, you get swappable batteries, options for expansion, and a generous selection of ports hidden behind durable protective flaps. It even boasts a serial RS-232 port, a rare find these days. Since the S14I comes in numerous configurations and offers various mounting solutions (for vehicles, for instance), it can be tailored to a wide array of specific needs.

Webcam: Ready for Calls
The webcam offers Full HD resolution, and its quality is decent enough for video calls. A handy feature is the built-in privacy shutter, ensuring no unwelcome spying. An alternative option is a camera with Windows Hello for facial recognition.
Sustainability: More marathon than eco-sprint
When you first unbox it, "green" isn't the first word that springs to mind, as there's quite a bit of plastic in the packaging. But the S14I's true sustainability comes from a different root: this device is engineered to last indefinitely and has passed the most rigorous tests.
The guiding principle here is longevity over disposability. And what's really impressive is its upgradeability and repairability. It is exceedingly straightforward to replace the battery, SSD, or other modules. If you remove the sturdy bottom panel, even more possibilities open up – SSDs, RAM, WLAN, and LTE or 5G modems can all be retrofitted.
So, sustainability in this case isn't so much about the initial materials, but rather about the ability to keep the device performing well for a very long time.
Input devices: Good keystrokes, wobbly buttons
The S14I's keyboard is excellent. Its 2.5 mm key travel gives you a firm and gratifying typing experience. Additionally, it features eye-friendly red backlighting. The only minor drawback is that the layout of some keys takes a little getting used to.
The touchpad, on the other hand, is on the smaller side. Unfortunately, the separate physical buttons beneath it often feel a bit wobbly and don't give off a particularly modern vibe. They're fine for quick clicks, but if you plan on working for extended periods without an external mouse, you'll find there are better solutions available.
Display: Standard onboard, upgrade possible
Durabook offers a wide range of options for the screen. Our test unit was equipped with the standard 14-inch panel, offering around 300 nits of brightness, Full HD resolution, and approximately 60% sRGB color gamut coverage. This is easily sufficient for office tasks and general text-based work, but it’s not really cut out for graphic design or serious photo editing.
However, things get really exciting when you look at the optional upgrades. For instance, there are displays available boasting a brilliant 1200 nits for excellent outdoor visibility. You can also opt for a multi-touchscreen, which even comes with different operational modes. The touchscreen can be configured to respond to fingers, gloves, or a stylus, in wet or dry condition.

Performance: Lots of room to grow
Our test unit, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 165U, 16 GB of DDR5 RAM (unfortunately, only single-channel), and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, performs really well and feels snappy for most tasks. However, this is just one of the many possible configurations for the S14I. Durabook offers a range of Core Ultra CPUs (from Ultra 5 up to Ultra 7), up to 64 GB of RAM, and various NVMe SSD options – either as convenient side-loading modules or for internal installation. By default, graphics are handled by the integrated Intel GPU, but an Nvidia RTX A500 is also available as an option for more demanding graphical tasks.
Test conditions
Regarding performance settings, the S14I doesn't come with any special manufacturer-provided tools or utilities. For our tests, we simply left everything on the standard Windows default settings.
Processor: Solid, but no race horse
The Meteor Lake generation's Intel Core Ultra 7 165U is a good processor. Its performance is moderate, but due to the low PL1 (Power Limit 1) of 15 Watts you should expect no benchmark-breaking records. However, for the typical use cases of a rugged notebook like this (such as Office applications, specialized field software, data acquisition, and so on), the performance is perfectly adequate.

System performance: Held back, but still snappy
Despite this, the system feels pleasantly responsive in everyday use. Programs launch quickly, and thankfully, during normal work, you generally don't notice much of a slowdown from the memory bottleneck (RAM operating in single-channel mode). When it comes to system performance benchmarks, the S14I isn't going to set the world on fire.

Storage devices: Standard SSD in a swap frame
For mass storage, our test unit is equipped with an NVMe SSD from Kingston. It performs its duties quite inconspicuously and delivers the expected level of performance. The real standout feature here, however, isn't so much the SSD itself, but how Durabook has integrated it: it's housed in a special module and can be swapped out in a flash if needed.

Graphics card
Our test unit relies on the integrated Intel 4-core graphics. This solution is unsuitable for gaming or demanding 3D applications – the notebook is clearly underpowered in this department. Anyone who regularly needs significant graphics performance should definitely consider adding the optional Nvidia RTX A500.

Noise emissions: Quiet fan, whining coils
The fan on the S14I remains quiet, even under full load. What can be annoying, however, is an occasional coil whine that we experienced on our unit while both batteries were charging. In a quiet environment, this high-pitched whining sound is definitely unpleasant.

Speakers: Only for emergencies
The S14I is equipped with stereo speakers. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much where the good news on this front ends.
They are just barely adequate for understanding speech during a video call. However, for any kind of multimedia enjoyment, these speakers are rather unsuitable and best avoided.

Power Consumption / Stresstest
Battery Life: Hot-swap batteries
Because of its dual-battery system, we can confidently verify that our test unit has exceptional battery life. Each battery boasts a capacity of 74.52 Wh. The Durabook lives up to its promised runtime of 16 hours per battery, which is impressive.
The absolute highlight, however, is the hot-swap functionality: the batteries can be easily exchanged while the device is still running, allowing for virtually uninterrupted operation. Extras such as external charging stations and a small charge level indicator directly on each battery further enhance its excellent long-term mobility.

Notebookcheck overall rating
This is an extremely durable workhorse that shines with excellent battery life (including hot-swap capability!) and a wide array of ports. Its performance is sufficient for the intended applications. On the downside, it's heavy, the touchpad and speakers are underwhelming, and the standard display is best suited for indoor use.
It's the ideal choice for demanding settings where utmost durability and extended battery runtime are the most crucial factors.
