Verdict - Lightweight everyday device with 2K display and good battery life
The Ninkear S14 presents itself as an inexpensive notebook with solid features for everyday use. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS offers sufficient performance for office work, internet and multimedia applications. The 14-inch IPS display impresses with a sharp display and stable viewing angles, which is a positive feature in this price range. The build quality is decent for the price, even if details such as the somewhat noisy touchpad and the keyboard that takes some getting used to are noticeable.
The device is limited in terms of graphics performance, as it is not designed for the latest games. Overall, the Ninkear S14 offers a balanced combination of performance, display quality and mobility at a fair price. This makes it particularly interesting for pupils, students and office users who are looking for a reliable work device without superfluous luxury, but with a good price-performance ratio.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The Ninkear S14 can be ordered from the manufacturer for 629 Euros (~$732) can be ordered from the manufacturer. The Ninkear S14 is already available from Banggood for 442 Euros (~$514).
With the Ninkear S14, the manufacturer has an attractively priced office notebook on offer that should cover all the basic requirements of everyday office life. The device comes with Windows 11 Pro. The 14-inch model tested costs around 630 Euros (~$733) and offers a matte IPS display, an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD.
Specifications
Case & equipment
The housing of the Ninkear S14 is made of metal and plastic, and at around 1 kilogram (~2.2 pounds), the device is very light. Some compromises have to be made in terms of torsional rigidity, but these are not overly significant with the Ninkear S14. The build quality is also good and fits the price range overall. The connectivity is fairly straightforward, but sufficient for everyday use.

Sustainability

Ninkear N16 Pro: high-end performance meets brilliant 2.5K 120Hz display
Ninkear has the N16 Pro in its range for customers with particularly high performance requirements. Equipped with a particularly powerful Intel Core i9-13900HK processor, 32 gigabytes of RAM and a 1 terabyte PCI-E SSD, the laptop completes all tasks at lightning speed.
The 2.5K UltraSharp screen in 16:10 format is a particular highlight: This offers a high resolution of 2,560x1,600 pixels and covers 100% of the sRGB color space, which is important for Creator. With a maximum brightness of 400 nits and a refresh rate of 120 hertz, the display is perfect for creating and playing back media.
The Ninkear N16 Pro is also equipped with fast WiFi 6, an integrated fingerprint reader and a backlit keyboard. The housing is made of high-quality and durable aluminum. The 16-inch notebook weighs just 1.8 kilograms and is only 18 millimeters thick. The integrated battery with a capacity of 5,000 mAh ensures a battery life of up to 9 hours. The scope of delivery also includes a particularly compact power supply unit weighing just 190 grams. Charging takes place via the integrated Type-C port.
Input devices
The keyboard of the Ninkear S14 offers a precise and pleasantly firm typing feel, which has a positive effect on typing behavior. Due to the design, the up and down arrow keys are only half-height, but you can get used to this. The device is only supplied with a QWERTY layout, which also has a two-stage backlight. The manufacturer includes stickers for other language layouts, but these detract from the overall appearance.
The clickpad of the Ninkear S14 is pleasantly large at 12 x 7.4 cm (~4.7 x 2.9 inches) and offers a clearly defined but relatively loud click feedback. The gliding properties of the surface are good and responsive right up to the edges. The integrated fingerprint reader takes up a bit of space, but in practice is hardly a nuisance in the top left corner.
Display
The 14-inch display of the Ninkear S14 leaves a solid impression overall. Thanks to the IPS panel, the viewing angles remain stable, and with a maximum brightness of around 360 cd/m², the panel offers sufficient brightness for indoor use. Thanks to the matte surface, the notebook can also cope with unfavorable lighting conditions, although use in direct sunlight is still not recommended.
The color reproduction is at a decent level in this price range. With almost complete sRGB coverage, the Ninkear S14 is also suitable for semi-professional photo and video editing. This is also underpinned by the good Delta-E-2000 values. Problems with pulse width modulation (PWM) are not an issue across all brightness levels.

Performance
Processor
The Ninkear S14 uses the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, a powerful six-core processor with twelve threads that achieves clock speeds of up to 4.55 GHz. The CPU therefore offers sufficient performance for typical office applications, multimedia and light multitasking. Under continuous full load, however, the performance is somewhat limited by the system's power limit, which results in a slight drop in performance compared to more highly configured devices.

System performance
In everyday use, the Ninkear S14 offers stable and smooth system performance, which is perfectly adequate for typical applications such as office, web and media playback. In synthetic benchmarks, however, the notebook tends to position itself in the lower midfield, which is mainly due to the limited power consumption.

GPU performance
The Ninkear S14 is not designed for demanding gaming. Although the integrated AMD Radeon graphics unit delivers sufficient performance for everyday applications and multimedia tasks, it quickly reaches its performance limits in current 3D games. The fast LPDDR5 RAM, which benefits the integrated graphics unit, is a positive feature.

Temperature
The Ninkear S14 heats up slightly more than some comparable models, such as the Acer Aspire 14, in everyday use, for example when surfing the web or using office applications. Temperatures rise slightly under load, but remain well below critical values. Cooling is provided by a single heatpipe in combination with a fan. The Ryzen 5 7535HS briefly reaches around 84.5 °C (184.1 °F) in the stress test, but remains within the limits specified by AMD.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 47 °C / 117 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 41.5 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 39.3 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 30.3 °C / 87 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 29.4 °C / 84.9 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.2 °C / 82.8 F (-1.2 °C / -2.1 F).

Speaker
The speakers of the Ninkear S14 are well suited for video conferencing and basic multimedia applications. However, low-frequency sounds are only reproduced to a limited extent, which leads to a rather treble-heavy sound overall. For a more balanced audio experience when playing music or movies, we therefore recommend using headphones or external speakers.
